Hope you like LA, ‘cause that’s what most of this is about. A lot of it will be baseball, a lot of that will be Dodgers. A certified nobody.
Nope, everybody knows ‘Murder, She Wrote’ only comes on the air *after* ‘60 Minutes’ but people are gonna be pissed when Andy Rooney’s bit is over at like 7:42pm and everybody tuning in at 8 for M,SR are gonna miss the whole first act.

How embarrassing for those 12 teams.

Correct, you can pay extra for FedEx to overnight the player.

For a contender, yes.
But for the 2026 St Louis Cardinals, who have no intention of contending, this is what it takes to get a free-agent pitcher to sign with you. Then you hope he’s healthy and productive enough for a trade July, saving you about $4M.

The production itself and related payouts are the point. Nobody involved actually expects an audience to materialize.

LA in the middle of a homestand so no big deal for them to have a Labor Day series finale at 7pm, but the Nats are in SD the next day at 2pm which is a quick trip but can’t be super fun.
As for the Peacock game, this is what ESPN’s exclusive Sunday Night window vanishing hath wrought.

Already underwater as a defensive outfielder, too.

Within a few years Freddie is a 38yo FA, Betts past prime, Smith hitting mid-30s, Muncy prob retired. Rotation is cemented. They are chasing ultimate legacy right now. This is the closest Friedman has come to Thelma and Louising a franchise because ‘now’ is super-valuable.

People don’t realize how damaging the Eppler “era” was. Stearns needs room to manuever more than he needs a $20M reliever. Back of bullpen is the least-important piece and he has many holes to plug.

There’s a lot going on here but MLB continues to be very happy to let PEDs obscure that outrageously juiced baseball they spec’d coming out of the 1994 strike and into the aughts.

No lie we once hired a pest control specialist that went on and on about how he was Bonds’ pest guy and would get invited over to Barry’s house to hang out and I thought ‘this guy’s out of it’ but at the same time I realized Bonds is also broken enough to call up a pest guy to hang out.

AFAIK this is the first time they’ve hired a currently-employed head coach in my lifetime, so yeah, weird they didn’t try this earlier.

Screenshot from an account taken the first part of August 2025, anonymized. Completely insane way to fan. Why are you even paying attention if this is your attitude?
The regular season is supposed to be the fun part! The playoffs are the misery, until just maybe once in awhile they’re also fun.

0.55 years, probably. The Money is deferred until like June 8th or something.

As a literal child of the 80s I was annoyed enough by season 1 that I only could be cajoled into one more terrible season, and every subsequent comment on the series I read makes me feel like I shorted the Dow before the ‘87 crash.
