There is going to be a lot of talk about Evil Empires like the Dodgers causing 2027 drama, and while I understand the attractiveness of that narrative, I really hope baseball fans look a little closer to see that Not Spending is causing more problems. Owners not building teams, just selling parts.

This vicious modus operandi - publish, let it work its poison, and retract. "Nothing to see here. Uhm ..."
The call out for such behaviour needs to be strong and loud and sustained. This was not an accident.
(Let's be clear: This type of weaponizing of AI is going rampant already.)

i don’t much care about the sanctity of the white house or whatever but building a multimillion dollar ballroom at this exact point in time as a world leader feels loudly, reverberatingly fucked up

There are people on the other app telling me that Deion Sanders was a Two Way Player while Shohei Ohtani is not, in case you are stronger than me but need a little reinforcing motivation to not go there.

100%. My happiest days of 2025 have been protest days. Big ones, small ones, doesn’t matter. It gives you hope.
Is politics weighing on you? Does it ever make you feel alone, like "everyone" is on board with awful things and "no one" cares (or close)?
Then you should go to a No Kings protest. That feeling isn't uncommon, but it's a trick. Go be around some of the many people who agree with you. You'll see.

Every year there is a Worcester comic that makes fun of how people from Worcester pronounce Worcester, but they get it wrong.
It is never Wooster. It is 100% Wister or Wuhster.

when is the last time the Yankees had a "fun" team, in your mind? I don't mean great or good, I mean fun.

I love how un-fun the Yankees are... they're so good at being the least fun team in baseball. Love that for them

The Brewers are seemingly quite good by a lot of measures but there's no way you'd know this from baseball media
Underdog doesn't quite describe.... they're like an infradog, imperceptible within MLB discourse

This might be my favorite card I've ever seen, so I bought it.

This October is the 50th anniversary of this home run of what many call the greatest WS ever.

Though I don’t love it, I have to acknowledge I think Aaron Judge should be the AL MVP.
I’ve heard a lot about how # of HRs actually shouldn’t matter for MVP (anymore), and good, we need to get over that.
But it’s still noteworthy. For example, he got just 1 less than Shohei Ohtani. Amazing!
