If the Dodgers win again, Manfred and Co are going to beat to death about the payroll.

I am DYING to know how long the Mariners stadium gameday operations people have had “do a salmon race but this time humpy wins” up their sleeve as a break glass in case of emergency fire-up-the-crowd play

Yes www.seattletimes.com/sports/marin...

Did the Mariners finally win ALDS Game 5 because of Humpy the Salmon?

Humpy won his first ever Salmon Run Friday night -- just before the Mariners secured a win and advanced to the ALCS.

I’ll take the brewers. I’m cheering for teams whose fans haven’t gotten the chance to experience what I felt in 2008. Let’s get some new blood on that podium.

Brewers or mariners, let’s go.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Agreed.

I’m firmly on the mariners bandwagon now and I think that’s part of the appeal for me. Just a likable bunch of dudes out there.

I don’t know if he’s the most likable player in the big leagues, but he’s definitely on the short finalist list for the award.

I’m convinced that half the country only cared about 9/11 because they can blame brown people for it.
