oh boy when I find out how anything works at all there's a long list of people who will be In Trouble

As a former youth group kid™ I loved Switchfoot in junior high. And let me tell you, I saw them live once and they were terrible. Just the most tone-deaf, off tempo show I've ever seen. It turned me off from ever listening to them again immediately.

an important reminder that baseball is the home of beautiful acronyms such as Thrown Out On The Bases Like A Nincompoop

"I just hope Nicky G is having fun." - Me to myself while watching Team Mexico in the WBC

IIRC, MLB had an ongoing initiative to help more Black kids play baseball & used the 2017 WBC to highlight the history & RBI programs & such. I recall a segment with Andrew McCutchen, Adam Jones, Marcus Stroman, Mookie Betts, & others on Team USA about it.

This Team USA just feels so different...

I feel the need to mention that if you're trying to pull off a Kevin Keatts-style feat to possibly save your job, you need to actually win the #ACCTournament and not just your first game...

We'll see, I guess...

Just your regular reminder that George Lucas isn't some kind of magical prognosticator, he just has a basic understanding of world history and he drew from the lessons of real-world events to tell his stories.

The hardback cover of Wearing the Lion by John Wiswell

Last night, I finished @wiswell.bsky.social's Wearing the Lion. It is equal parts tragic, heartwarming, and funny.

And I may or may not view "my dipshit husband" as a term of endearment now.

Unpopular opinion: I legitimately despise the "Lindsey Graham is a self hating closeted gay/trans person" takes.

It blames an already marginalized group for the actions of a cishet white man with enormous privilege and plays into a right wing narrative of queer people being violent.

When you literally have the high ground

Is Jeff Capel entering his Kevin Keatts era?

Why are baseball teams always coming up with new and inventive ways to give their fans heart attacks at the ballpark?

This is AI, sorry everyone! This guy didn't make this. The guy he credits in his pinned post ALSO didn't make it. I found the guy who "made" it on instagram and he didn't make it either: a computer did. Oh well!

I know MLB typically doesn't let major leaguers play in the Olympics, but I'm hearing so many hypotheticals about the LA Olympics in 2 years that it makes me think it will be part of the next CBA and actually happen.

How's Konnor Griffin ever supposed to be on the 2028 Olympic team with Bobby Witt, Jr. still in his prime?

Yankees broadcast: Goodson...
Me: Gourson!
Yankees broadcast: Wilson...
Me: Hilson!

I know they don't care about other teams' minor leaguers, but still...

They have the rosters on hand in the booth don't they?

This makes Chris Pratt promising to work hard on voicing the most iconic character in video game history and then just doing nothing and using his regular speaking voice extra hilarious

Bluesky has a CEO now who's spent her entire career in venture-backed tech. She used to work in crypto! Get a grip, folks

Unpopular opinion: I'm sick of hearing "Freebird" in relation to Team USA and/or the general "America! Fuck Yeah!" style patriotism now.

Nicky G, bloop RBI single for Team Mexico in the #WBC for those keeping score at home.

#LetsGoBucs

Had my first Buc-ee's experience this weekend, sort of...

There was traffic just trying to get into the parking lot, so we gave up and just got back on the road lol

But what really struck me is how their billboard messages get increasingly more unhinged the closer you get to one of the locations.

my most pollyanna trait is that i love things like the olympics and the world baseball classic bc they show how much more we all have in common
