That’s also my name on Twitter. I have a blog about the Cardinals (stlbullpen.com) and thoughts about a bunch of other things.
Maybe they drop the word we don’t really like to use anymore so that we focus on that and not the fundamental truth that they are as a matter of organizational philosophy trying to obscure investigation into America’s most notorious sex criminal

Newsom did what every governor of CA since Gray Davis has done, and what a literal California law--SB944--signed by Gov. Terminator dictates must be done: "The Governor shall annually proclaim February 6 as Ronald Reagan Day."
Lots of reasons to loathe Newsom. Him following the law is not one, IMHO

Building a federal government out of middle school bullies
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Chris Paul having one of the least dignified retirements in history feels sadly appropriate. He’s a no-doubt first ballot Hall of Famer whose career is defined by not winning big game. He seems like a great guy off the court and like a massive prick on it. Just a perpetual contradiction.

I heard the song “Born Free” by Kid Rock in the wild for the first time in probably fifteen years yesterday. My memory of that song was that it was fairly bland and inoffensive—definitely less bad than “All Summer Long”. Ostensibly yes, but man did it expose how much that dude could never sing

Q: Were you aware that Lutnick visited Epstein's island?
TRUMP: I wasn't, but from what I hear he was there with his wife and children. I was never there.

History will write that Trump kept the trains running on time, which is like the 587th worst thing about him but is also absolutely not true

There are currently nine teams above that cap, but perhaps even more significantly there are twelve teams below that floor.
What would MLB look like with a salary cap? Everything you need to know about the wide-ranging, game-changing effects, from free agency to, yes, competitive balance
MLB wants an NHL-style hard cap. $240m ceiling, $160m floor could be target

My mom, who is 67 and is probably a generation older culturally, said she didn’t like Bad Bunny’s music but that he seems like a nice guy. Normie boomers will save us all.
My 70 year old dad, whose favorite band is The Righteous Brothers, just informed me that he enjoyed the Bad Bunny show bc even though he didn’t understand the words, “it seemed like everyone on stage was having a good time!” So there ya go lol.

Everybody I know is super into curling for one month every four years. I’m not surprised it becomes more popular during the Olympics but it just absolutely does not exist in my world 98% of the time. Like they can’t even become a cult sport.

Carlos Baerga once hit a home run from both sides of the plate in the same inning. People forget this.

If a friend of mine shot somebody, and in this hypothetical it was totally justified and nobody could deny it, the second and third sentence here would have been completely absurd to say
in a text string after the shooting, a fellow agent told Exum he's a "legend"
