The view out my window last night looking like a postcard.

Learning the true depth of Clase’s involvement makes me so sad. He was such a talent.
Betting has no place around MLB but they’re never going to reverse course on it now. No matter how many lives and careers are ruined as a result. And that makes me even sadder.

Cheers to Mother Nature for taking the heat off the Jays and giving Torontonians something else to commiserate over in November.

Janeane Garafolo being the ‘ugly’ one in The Truth About Cats & Dogs really messed me up.
What’s your all time favorite Hollywood Homely fail? When a woman is meant to be unattractive but she’s gorgeous. Thinking of how Safety Not Guaranteed has a key moment where a man’s ex is in the script old and no longer attractive and she’s a knockout who the movie still plays as old.

Admire the commitment sir, but this is gross 🙏
This Mets fan put on this jersey after the Mets lost 2015 World Series and is wearing it until they win the World Series. Please trade Brett Baty for Tarik Skubal

I’m not sure Allen Walsh is the most reliable source here but… in a battle between Manfred and Harper I *am* sure who would end up in the ditch.
These new details from last summer's confrontation between Rob Manfred and Bryce Harper are absolutely insane.
MLB officials threatening players will "end up in a ditch" for disrespecting Manfred is outrageous behavior.

I had no idea this team existed and now I need a hat more than anything else.

My sort of out there theory is that geography can be genetically encoded & passed down. Which was probably an evolutionary trait from when we were hunter and gatherers.
And would explain why a place we’ve never been but where our parents or grandparents grew up can feel so familiar.

Finally did it. Counted all of my hats. The 1st pic is the Greatest Baseball Hats (imo) in Major League history. There are 148 hats plus 3 bucket hats ( @ruthkapelus.bsky.social this should make you happy) which were team give-aways.
