There are a few people who I am afraid to read when we cover the same assignment, because I know their story will be better. @chuckculpepper.bsky.social is one of them.
Had never met him until the NCAAs last March, and was annoyed to find out he’s super-nice, too. (Even though everyone said so.)
Look at you, tossing around journalism terms. We’ll get you in the BBWAA yet!
Pot … kettle
How are Edgar and Helton tied if one is +52 and one is +51
🚨🚨🚨Emergency meeting of the tracker standards team 🚨🚨🚨
Jimmy Golen HOF Ballot (2): Beltrán(+1), Jones
Ballot #63 is from Jimmy Golen. Two centerfielders earn his vote - holdover Andruw Jones is joined for the first time by Carlos Beltrán (+4)
Coming soon to the Tracker…
From what I hear, the FIFA Peace Prize came down to Trump and Marion Cotesworth Hay.
Eagerly awaiting the breakdown (with charts!) of how players are doing vis a vis time of ballot reveal.
Hi, Ryan. I will be voting again this year and I can share my ballot with you when I do.
Is that something you might be interested in?
Don’t tell Dan Gelston that.
Maybe it's time to call in a sub.
Allegedly the NYT once had a reference to Shirley Temple African-American. Long before AI.

That's another good one.
Which is most painful for Boston fans:
--Brady winning win Bucs
--Clemens winning with Yankees
--Ray Allen winning with Heat
--Marchand winning with Panthers
Why do we think he didn’t have it from Day 1?
I will not know how to feel about Roman Anthony changing from #48 to #19 after one game until @billscheft.bsky.social weighs in.
This argument is just literally not true: Pete Rose and the 1919 Black Sox are in the fucking Museum! So is Bonds and Sosa!
How are major MLB writers confusing the Museum with the players elected into the Hall of Fame? THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
Yes. This.
Yes. You would never want to just hammer that point over and over.
Say it!
Do you do bat lengths and weights, too?
Maxim Naumov, who lost both parents in the Washington DC plane crash, finishing his routine at the world figure skating championships.
There's nothing especially torpedo-shaped about these bats. Because a regular bat is already torpedo-shaped.
True story: thought it was crazy to piss off an entrenched veteran for some prospect who might not pan out.
(Worse, was still riding that take when Bledsoe recovered and it was time for him to get *his* job back from that Brady character.)
My memory isn’t what it used to be, I guess. How are things up in Vermont with your son the tennis player?
I think the plan announced at the time was to move
him to third, not second. But you’re right: it was wild and Val’s vow to play out his contract and get out of town was seen as an irreparable split.
Which brings me to your other point: Yes, this will blow over, too.
It’s a miracle she kept watching after the ‘86 one.
What year did we add the check box on the ballot to release them publicly?
