I'm pretty irritated at Mike Judge. Idiocracy made me believe it would take 500 years for our society to devolve to this state, not 20.

WWII "Friend" poster series from the Allied Forces, originally demonstrating the various Allied forces (British, Australian, Chinese, French, Dutch, etc.) and their appearances

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND

He fights for FREEDOM"

The image is a sepia/black and white toned image of the Portland Frog protester, simply labelled FROG

If that's the plan, then tonight you look for a couple innings each out of Miz/Gasser?

Baseball is crazy.

The 2011 Brewers only had six different pitchers start a game all season.

In 2025, SEVENTEEN players started at least one game

I don't like leaving pitches middle-middle. Call me crazy.

My Chourio jersey arrived in less than 48 hours.

Vibes are high right now, folks

Evan "Tex" Western @texwestern.bsky.social · 22h

Also, Chourio has a 1.467 OPS (!!) in 13 PAs against Taillon. Sample size caveat obviously, but I for one am glad he's out there.

Yeli is .955 for the record, then the rest of today's lineup has not hit him well at all.

For his career Taillon has normal platoon splits, but this year they are reverse. Make of that what, if anything, you will.

I just hung out with the @cropackcropodcast.bsky.social guys a few weeks ago and that was pretty great!

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

The Bengals get an upgrade in EPA per drop back, per Next Gen Stats. They're going from the last ranked QB in Jake Browning (-0.44) to the second-to-last ranked QB in Joe Flacco (-0.41).

I will not

Evan "Tex" Western @texwestern.bsky.social · 2d

If Joe Flacco starts against the Packers (again) on Sunday, he might actually get ground into dust this time.

That Bengals OL is putrid and I expect the DL to have 5+ sacks regardless of who's at QB
