Union man. I write about baseball and make stupid jokes, not necessarily in that order. For a midlife crisis expressed through record collecting, follow me @mystupidrecords.bsky.social

Giants should take a chance on a former Cardinals closer, see if he can start. Not sure what the downside would be.
Apparently someone thinks Ryan Helsley can start? I'm always open to being proved wrong but he is a very, very different kind of pitcher than a lot of guys who have made this work before
Can Ryan Helsley Actually Start, or Are We Just Not Eating Enough Protein?
In the future, all relief pitchers will be starting pitchers for 15 minutes, twice: First as failure, then as tragedy.

I stare down the riot police and chant louder as I pull a tin of Altoids from the right-front-bottom pocket of my cargo shorts. "Want one?" I ask before snapping the tin shut. Too bad. They can't have one.

Some people are watching the Cowboys on purpose, and other people are listening to David Bowie's "Low" or playing sudoku or cooking a stew or maybe reading a book. It's hard to say why the people in the first group are making their decision.

It is a prog rock Sunday over here. Good writin' music.
Love this album. Super impressive to go from it to the Chariots of Fire theme in nine years, no snark. Vangelis had a really cool career.
Also, hot dang, this might be the coolest looking record to display. The colors match perfectly, and it sure is a conversation starter.

I heard Zohran said "You know what people would love you for, sir, is universal health care and a basic income. They would build statues for you, and the very nasty people would suddenly be nice to you" and Trump said "wait really?" and now they're writing executive orders together

President Pope, Tuesdays at 8:00, only on the WB.
I am disappointed no pollster seems to have yet run a survey including the Pope as a 2028 presidential candidate. C'mon, that's some gold-plated clickbait. I saw one that included Mamdani; Leo's actually eligible.

I get this is a hard search to parse, and I would have understood no results.
What I *don't* want is it hallucinating something that never existed. This is so far from reality it has negative value. It's worse in every possible way.
When I asked again, it gave a totally *different* wrong answer.
