i believe there are about a hundred and fifty million people like me who would pay $17 to watch benicio del toro as sergio st. carlos plan and execute a tight sunday costco run before he has to man the barbecue after his niece's afternoon soccer game (run time: 2 hours 20 minutes)

happy high-wire act/trebuchet day to all who celebrate

KD Casey — Read Breakout Year Today! @kdcaseywrites.bsky.social · Jul 12

@kirio.bsky.social on the Mariners, Etsy Witches, and hope:

This is my favorite thing I've ever read on Fangraphs. Not just about baseball, but also about what we're all living through. Read it, even if you don't like baseball.
