Celebrating 🍾 another Nats win. Got to savor these and hope the season isn't a total slog

Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem

Beyond the Potomac River, sewage spills threaten cities with old infrastructure and little funds A major sewer pipe collapse has dumped hundreds of millions of gallons of sewage into the Potomac River, highlighting a nationwide problem involving failing infrastructure.

We Sacrifice Everything to Baseball - Nebraska Press Despite long odds and low funds, the Czech Republic’s national baseball team of amateur players managed to shock the world at the 2023 World Baseball Class...

If you're wondering how a Central European country with little baseball tradition (Czechia) can march into the the Tokyo Dome and give Japan this kind of fight, well, @michaelclair.bsky.social has exactly this story in a book coming out April 1, & it's good

Team Dominican Republic has been a vibe in this year's World Baseball Classic 🕺

@codystavenhagen.bsky.social walks us through some of their most electric celebrations.

A tweet from Master Flip: Randy Arozarena just went off on Cal Raleigh; How do you think I should respond to Cal Raleigh? How should I put it to him? I want to say it in four languages. First in Spanish: The only thing he should be thankful for is having such great parents. He’s very well educated, thank God. I was lucky enough to see them a few days ago at the hotel. They came over to greet me, gave me a big hug, and were genuinely proud to see me again. After that, I want to give it to him straight Cuban style: What he has to do is fuck off! Mexican style: Go to hell! And in English: That fake ass “good to see you” he hit me with? He can shove it straight up his ass. I’m out.

Raleigh wouldn't shake Arozorena's hand when he came up to bat during the Mexico/USA game earlier. Trouble in Mariners paradise.

Ondřej Satoria, whose fastball is around 78 mph, pitches a remarkable 4 2/3 shutout innings against Samurai Japan, the best team in the world.

Pavel Chadim bows and the crowd erupts. As he leaves the field, he turns around to take it all in. His national team career is now over

I'll always delight in remembering that Susan Lucci got her Emmy presented to her by a brother. I was watching this in real time--ALL MY CHILDREN was mah stories for decades.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

🇩🇴 Vladdy and Team DR stay undefeated! #WorldBaseballClassic

Objectively cool for a guy who pitched in the very first WBC back in 2006

IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot

THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him

THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me

YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care

BECAUSE my position is immutable

CURLING DRAMA

China and Team USA tied on the final shot of the final end of the final game of round robin play
the Americans are eliminated if China makes the shot
All they can do is watch

Guess What Moderate Democratic Voters Aren’t Anymore? Moderate. Two new polls suggest that moderate Democrats, too, want higher taxes on the rich and some measure of economic populism. Moderate isn’t what it was in 1992.

Third Way and other "moderate" Democratic groups and elites constantly bash progressive politicians and ideas. But moderate Democratic VOTERS really like raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations, Medicare-for-all, and Bernie Sanders. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

AH! Didn't know he was MAGA. and that is really odd he is playing for Mexico. For some reason I thought your main team was the O's. Haven't really paid attention to Skenes' personality or his girlfriend.

why don't you care for them? Is it because Duran is a Red Sox? Or am I missing something, like they are jerk in real life?

Thanks. Based on interviews out of camp, sounds like there were some big changes in the tech they use and the plans for the players. I am cautiously optimistic that they won't lose as much as last year.

Will you be doing something like this for the Nats? (or did you and I can't find it on the website?)

Column: Rotation isn't good yet, but it hasn't been this deep in years Sunday's deal with Zack Littell gives the Nationals well more than five viable starting options to begin the season

The Nationals don’t suddenly have a good rotation. But the Zack Littell signing (along with other recent developments) does give them a deeper pool of starters than they’ve had in years. natsjournal.com/p/column-rot...

I love this tournament. I wish they would play in the Olympics
