I remember one random night in winter 2011 or 2012, listening to Steve Somers on a transistor radio and hoping in vain someone would call in to talk about the Mets — we deserve this one.

An MLB team should hire Elizabeth Prelogar as manager — she could persuade an umpire to change any call she wanted!

I'm good with all the new rules so far but this is completely whackadoodle.

Imagine if in soccer you could choose a random moment to take a penalty kick. Or if in football you could choose one drive a game to start on the one-yard line.

Too much.

I think as a bit, every new free agent contract, regardless of the team awarding it, should include a donation to the Braves Foundation

BREAKING: Trying to win is good, actually.
The Padres set a franchise attendance record in 2024

San Diego climbed from 20th in attendance in 2012, when the O'Malley Group purchased the team, to third in 2024.

The Padres have been a top-five draw for four straight seasons, thanks in large part to the vision of late chairman Peter Seidler

#bob says Jake McCarthy is available, and I would love the Mets to make a run at him.

With Eric Orze headed out of town, a good time to remember the time I wrote about Orze, boos, and “Amadeus.”

With the ballot unveiled, it's officially, "Let's Get Bobby Abreu into the Hall of Fame" season for me! Let's start with old-school numbers:

Players with at least 1000 runs scored, 1000 RBI, 1000 BB, 250 HRs, 400 SBs, 500 doubles and a batting average of no less than .290:

Barry Bonds.
Bob Abreu.

The way people just make ridiculous criticisms of the media is really weird and not helpful

This is a good first Jets game on BlueSky — everyone should learn the lesson that the Jets aren't playing football, they're doing long-form experimental surrealist comedy

Aaron Rodgers seems determined to force us to replace “Willie Mays falling down in the outfield” as the go-to for describing athletes who stayed too long at the ball.
