Oh hey.

@sfgate.com won its first two Society of Professional Journalists awards ever this year, which is great, but what's better is our Senior Photo Editor Charles Russo sitting down to talk about the story behind one of the winners: our photo spread from the A's final game in Oakland.

Another year of successfully being the parent who dodges the lionshare of kids music requests. On the other hand, my spouses year end wrapped looks like it was curated by Pixar.

The amiga @felina510.bsky.social is back with a love letter to the Negro League Museum. I went in 2023 and cannot recommend it enough. Kansas City is an absolute American gem. Get your ass there.

Thank you again to @felina510.bsky.social for getting me up to speed with the latest comings and goings in MLB. Another dynamite piece, this time involving the cast and characters of Canadaball, the Trolleydodgers and plenty of pop culture that doesn't dive into the Chuck Klosterman deep end.

Today's Kindergarten fun run playlist included club remixes of:
T-Pain
Empire of the Sun
Rick Ross
Bastille

However, there was a glaring omission during the walking laps where the MC was telling the kids to walk it out but did not play DJ Unk (RIP).

I’m so excited to finally share this: I’m writing a book! It’s about Oakland—its rise as a great American sports town, its fall to the billionaires who abandoned it, and, most of all, the fans and activists and founders who fought to hold onto this aspect of the city’s identity and soul.

A close friend of mine got my a cameo from Fabo and he was so kind and genuine. An incredible gift.

I can't find the Oakland Athletics, the Atlanta Thrashers or the Pac-12. Does this mean I'm exempt from misery? Did I break the game?

I had a chicken burrito for dinner last week that I knew ahead of time was too large to eat in one sitting. I had been to the establishment before. I had ordered the same thing before. Just like the scorpion and the frog however, 20 minutes later I had nothing but an empty foil wrapper.
Last day for our interns. One of them brought me a vegan breakfast burrito the size of my head. "You can have some now and save the rest for dinner", she said. That sounds like a challenge. LFG

Reading about Service Time Manipulation is sexy. You're welcome.

Is it pro-labor and long-winded? Yes. Do I rightfully argue on behalf of Elvis Andrus? Yes. Do I sound washed for a lot of it? Probably. Enjoy, mes élèves.

It's mid July. The All Star Game is over but games haven't resumed yet. Triple digit temps span California. And somewhere Aaron is unbothered by this because he has a spare hour read the newest Jeff Passan bombshell and a reaction cocktail to mimic Rachel Phelps when the Indians give up another run.
At this point, the only #athletics thing I'm looking forward to this summer is the 10,000-word, anonymously-sourced hit piece on this farcical season
How much “what the fuck is this” is impacting the A’s performance this year?

DB: “More than anyone of those professionals in the room will let you know on the record.”

Rolled up to the little league fields this evening to hear C.R.E.A.M. as a kid's walk up song. @thatbootlegguy.bsky.social would approve

Began the journey as a baseball parent last month when we signed our son up for Tee Ball. First game this week was predictably chaotic. Son still wants to play so taking it as a win.
