(I’m aware that said “tug-of-war” does not at all compare to what’s happening first-hand to people in communities all over. That’s the real shit. I’m just venting emotionally to try and maintain some sanity.)

And ever. Amen.

Ahh, stand-up(s) = broadcast phrase for standing up, talking in front of a camera. Not stand-up comedy.

It’ll never make sense to me that the Clippers play in Inglewood now, next to The Forum 😑

The content would be so much more entertaining tbh

Okamoto ➡️ Toronto. Flashback to the 2023 WBC alongside Jose Mota. There was a special energy in the Tokyo Dome—Kazuma Okamoto’s home with the Yomiuri Giants. He had the Big Egg rocking in 5-RBI night to push Samurai Japan to the semis. Excited to watch his MLB career kick off with the #BlueJays.

That’s an interesting counter. I’d say Trout is unique because he held the “best player on earth” title for a while and LAA never properly/smartly invested resources. Whereas NYM seemingly has everything now. And Alonso leaving for BAL is different than joining big-market BOS or another proven power

It *is* Piano Man with the harmonica riff! I’d like to try to get him to do a performance on camera at some point. All I know is, he crushed it and the clubhouse loved it … happy holidays your way! 🙏

The fact that he initiated it made that homer more personally special, for sure! Haha 👊🥹

I haven’t seen that! I’ll have to find and send to Mo. on YouTube?
