First-timers Ichiro and CC and elite closer Wagner on his last ballot were elected to Cooperstown.

This app was about as dumb as I expected yesterday. Looking forward to Baseball Hall of Fame discussions later today.

Updated Hall of Fame projections with less than 24 hours to go and 188 ballots in @notmrtibbs.com's Tracker. Beltrán's likelihood of being elected has slipped in the past 24 hours but he could still join Ichiro, Sabathia, and Wagner in Cooperstown if he slightly overperforms current trends

It’d be a real shame if Lions fans were setting themselves up for heartbreak. A real shame.

Pope Francis announced on World Children’s Day that Bl. Carlo Acutis and Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati will be canonized during the Jubilee of Teenagers next spring and the Jubilee of Youth next summer, respectively. Ok, nice. Does that mean there’s going to be a Jubilee of Denny’s Early Birds soon?

I have several 3rd-class relics of Bl. Carlo Acutis so I’m looking forward to this.

The death of Woke has been greatly exaggerated.

He was not the only one highlighting reasonable concerns at the time with the transition to a service and information economy, so he was prescient but not a prophet.

Imagine thinking Fox News is still a thing.

Being a perfectionist in your writing is the default setting for new writers. We all start that way. But when you’re building a house, you don’t paint it as you go. You lay a foundation, build a structure, put in the wiring & pipes, build the walls and lay the floors, THEN you can think about paint.

There have been quite a few great ones but what’s the best cop show theme song?

Here’s my list:
5. Hill Street Blues
4, Miami Vice
3. Starsky & Hutch
2. Hawaii 5-0
1. Barney Miller

NGL, this cracks me up on multiple levels. Just seeing diverse people having fun doing something goofy and not wrapped around the axle over #MAGA. Even EFL League 1 🤣 #TrumpDance www.instagram.com/reel/DCfWhGa...

I’ve been poking around this weekend and am struck by 2 things, and, for now, I’ll dare to limit the topic to the election.

1. I was led to believe that there was more analysis, reasonable discussion, and exploration here. I’ve only found this to partially true and in a narrow sense, see below.

Sports Bluesky!
