PR politics is dominated by the statehood question -- national R/D politics are basically irrelevant to voters.

The guy at the bottom of the screen is the catcher. He is pointing to the first baseman. That's a signal to the pitcher (the guy with the ball) to throwto the first baseman. If the pitcher follows that instruction, there's a good chance the team doesn't lose immediately.

MLB: Let's play our annual prospects game in the middle of the day on a normal Saturday, but not have any baseball whatsoever that week on Wednesday or Thursday

Bananas: Yes, it's the MLB playoffs, but why not have a 90-minute live event with guys dressed up in hula skirts to announce our schedule?

There are currently more than 20,000 people watching a live stream of the Banana Ball 2026 City Selection Show. Their marketing is so much better than MLB's tepidness, it's amazing.

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack.

As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all.

Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

The ban on beards in started in WWI because facial hair interfered with gas masks -- you couldn't get a snug fit. It's a non-issue now.

Every game is an elimination game. It's compelling, high stakes TV. I'd love to see it happen.

The MLB playoffs should be a "best-of-2" ladder into the LCS, and this year is no different. Regular season successes don't lead to major postseason advantages.
