Handshakes for Ranger Suárez. The Nola-Suárez plan worked to perfection. One run in seven innings. They're going to try for six outs from Duran.

Used these minutes projections to get projected minutes-weighted age for each team. This would make the Clippers the oldest team of all time by over a full year.

Since 2008, the most times a player's been caught looking in a single postseason is 10, by Brandon Belt in 2012. Ohtani's got four in six plate appearances.

Pat Gallen @patgallen.bsky.social · 2d

Ohtani still seeing ghosts at the plate. That was definitely strike 3.

No, I noticed that everyone taking care of me was a highly competent professional who had emigrated here from another country to fill our vast need for healthcare workers. Why were you asking fellow patients for their papers, you invasive weirdo

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

Former Bears cornerback Charles “Peanut” Tillman decided to leave the FBI in part because he didn’t believe in the agency’s role in enforcing immigration.

Jared McCain has a UCL tear in his right thumb, sources confirm. @timbontemps.bsky.social was the first to report. No determination on the next steps have been made at this time.

Credible reporting from the April 1, '73 Long Beach Independent in its '72-73 Lakers reg season wrap-up showing 36 year old Wilt Chamberlain, far removed from his peak, blocked 446 shots in his final NBA season
