It’s not complicated.

Cal is MVP.
Crochet is Cy Young.

They have both meant more to the Ms and Sox throughout the entire season, but especially down the stretch than Judge or Skubal have meant to the Yanks or (paper) Tigers.

They are why there is meaning baseball in Seattle and Boston right now.

The biggest conservation action in a generation.

If this doesn't horrify you, if this doesn't show you the deep moral rot at the heart of the Trump administration, then I don't know what will.

When we try to deport a legal resident for exercising their constitutional right to protest a war that has killed tens of thousands and displaced an entire people, we have lost ourselves.

We are no longer the country we think we are.

We gotta fight back.

It’s been exhausting watching us drop whatever scrap of moral leadership we had left this week, cutting funding to AIDS clinics and Ebola research and firing wildland firefighters. Capping it off with Trump and Vance walking away from being “leader of the free world” is gutting.

Found myself rapt by this interview with the Pastor of the Metropolitan AME church in DC on @npr.org All Things Considered and inspired by his words on what this moment of Trump and political and social chaos calls us all to do: be the light that shines.

Reporters: Disasters make leaders put aside politics. Trump was comforter in chief in CA and NC last week.

Trump: Obama and Biden suck and the FAA under them hired dumb losers and people with dwarfism (wtf?) and this crash is pretty much all their fault.

Did we learn nothing the first term?

The Golden At-Bat rule could give MLB a new shine. But is it worth it?
What if a team could choose one at-bat to send its best hitter to the plate even if it wasn’t that guy’s turn to hit? MLB could test it out.
