What's the Damn point in being the billionaire owner of a baseball team if you're not gonna be booga booga crazy about winning a World Series?
A kid who works for us is getting married today.
I worked retail for 25 years, which meant I worked Saturdays for most of 1997-2022. I didn't get many off, and if I'm being honest, it sometimes bugged me having to use a Saturday off for a wedding.
A Wednesday wedding appeals to me very much.

They're so scared. Of everything.
They think that being the biggest and toughest and meanest means they won't be scared anymore.
Tied into that is the need to punish the people who live the lives they wish they did.

Stephen Miller: "All that bullshit is done, over, it's finished. The gangbangers you deal with- they think they're ruthless? They have no idea how ruthless we are. They think they're tough? They have no idea how tough we are. They think they're hardcore? We are so much more hardcore than they are"

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

Fucking hell. Gods bless Boyd. This entire pitching staff deserves better. Wouldn't have mattered if they'd traded for a monster starter. Wouldn't have given him run support either.

Ranking the 3 Zero Sugar root beers I've tried in the last couple weeks:
1. Barq's
2. Mug
3. A&W
This is the reverse order of how I would rank their sugared versions.

1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

I like statcast games.
Even if I never glance at the stats. They talk primarily about the game
That's what I appreciate about it.
