Who are you worried about in that division? The Phillies are really old and the Braves lost 86 games and didn't sign anybody. The Mets might not be the favorite, but they certainly look to be in the mix.

I see "hemorrhaging money," but I don't see "tens of billions in debt." Looking around it looks like maybe $1-2B. (This link's over a year old now, might have gone up from the $1.4B cited here since it's losing money)

The queue only lasted a few minutes, but when it sent me to the registration page, the "Register Now" button just returned me to the queue.

Have you been to the Pasadena Model Railroad Museum (which is not in fact in Pasadena, but in El Sereno)? Monthly open houses - it's a cool place. Good luck taking Metro there though... walking will be involved!

Other people have guessed Darba (which is now a Bird) and Wall of Vipers (which is now a Snake), so I'll go with Hollow Warrior (which was just a Golem then but is now a Golem Warrior).

I think it's just an awful headline. He's loathsome, but his actual comments were more along the lines of "it's good for me if we care about whether it's constitutional, because they'll have to buy my tech to make sure they're staying on the right side of the line."

At some point in Spring Training I looked it up and their position players' combined service time was less than Verlander's. (Pitchers weren't much more but Alcantara messed it up.)

I'm sure that involves some ill-defined judgment call on "commonly used names," but I will happily take any opportunity to tangentially mention Calvin Coolidge Julius Caesar Tuskahoma McLish.

Unclear how OK Glasnow is though - there were reports of "side discomfort" but can't tell how serious it is.

Giants too, right? White Sox in 1917, Indians in 1954, Tigers in 2012, Royals in 2014, and Washington (now Minnesota) in 1933. Unless we're saying Washington doesn't count.
