Kevin You-Kill-Is was fantastic. No clue how he actually swung with this batting stance, tho.
During his entire big league career, the Greek God of Walks never once swung at a 3-0 pitch.

Great opinion piece describing the shoddy science the Griers are using to “prove” the vaccine/autism link (hint - there’s no link, disproven time and time again…). Sadly this is not a gifted article (I don’t have NYT, this was gifted to me): www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Data can easily be manipulated to show causation that doesn’t exist.

It's not a coincidence he's been using the words "seditious conspiracy" repeatedly. Miller has been pushing for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act for months. They've moved all their inner-circle onto military bases. The administration is performing a coup and intends to remain in power.

Pope Leo XIV, who on Saturday marked six months since his election, has in recent weeks stepped up his criticism of the Trump administration while bringing a distinctively American flavor to the papacy.

Likely the tip of an iceberg and may well end up being far worse than PED era. Online sports betting is a cancer and is creating the consequences many people said it would.

MLB learned exactly nothing from the 1919 Black Sox Scandal.

Idiots.

This is a good, factual piece from the Durango Herald. Peaceful protest can and will make a difference. It shows the world the truth about what is happening and who is fomenting violence.

Everywhere I go, people are wearing Jays gear. People I know who have never watched baseball (me included) are staying up past midnight to for an 18th inning. The coffee shop has baseball donuts.

And, I cannot emphasize this enough, I am in a city *3000 km from Toronto*

This sounds fun.
“It feels like we’re on the moon.”

In Canada’s northernmost city, more than 1400 miles from Toronto where polar bears and narwhals roam - there’s a bar called The Storehouse. It’s filled every night with diehard Blue Jays fans. A very fun one to write.
