Played and watched baseball my entire life. That’s a first.

Don’t have audio but do we know why this wasn’t an infield fly?

Meghan Montemurro @mmontemurro.bsky.social · 8h

Michael Busch never saw the infield pop up off Contreras' bat, signaling he couldn't spot it in the sun, & Hoerner can't get to it in time, resulting in it dropping and everyone's safe.

Brewers have bases loaded with 1 out in the 1st inning, which has been a challenge for Cubs pitchers this series.

Not the point, but cutting to a video from over six years ago of someone being silly-stringed might not have the impact they're trying to create

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

This here’s a man of the people.

Former Cubs pitcher Lee Smith on why he always walked so slowly out of the bullpen when he was called - he heard the grounds crew got time and a half of the game stretched past 4:30 pm.

Is President Trump right when he calls Portland war-ravaged?

As peaceful and quiet days carry on in Portland, President Donald Trump continues to assert that the city is a “never-ending disaster.”

Horrible, horrible images from Portland:

Senator Ron Wyden @wyden.senate.gov · 3d

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

Kristi Noem’s message to the NFL for selecting Bad Bunny for the halftime show:

“The NFL sucks and we’ll win and God will bless us and we’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day and they won’t be able to sleep at night because they don’t know what they believe…”
