More like Team BBrazil, amirite? #WBC

The Dumper is going to hit a three-run homer tonight. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. #WBC

I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

WA's 1st season of girls flag football sees high participation, growing pains Girls flag football, entering its first postseason as a WIAA sport, has been filled with excitement, but it hasn't come without some growing pains.

This week, I wrote about how Washington's first season of sanctioned girls flag football is going for @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social

Mariners Expect To See Kade Anderson 'Sooner Than Later' College World Series star Kade Anderson fell to the Mariners at No. 3 overall. He shouldn't require much minor league seasoning.

My latest story for @baseballamerica.com

In addition to the sheer amount of awful music and bad vibes at this festival, it is insane to describe Sioux Falls, SD, as a “small town.”

It is home to almost 200,000 people.

I might need that recipe, if you’re willing to share it. Those look amazing!

I'm a big fan of Kyle Kinane.

I officially graduated from @WGU today. After more than two years of nightly homework, dozens of essays, three months of student teaching, and a huge amount of hard work, I now have a Master's Degree in Teaching- English Education.

Time to celebrate at a local dive bar.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

I’m back on press row for the first time since September, covering tonight’s #Seakraken  (16-14-7) game against Nashville (18-17-4) for @AP.

It’s good to be back. Let’s hockey.

From all of us at Puyallup United Methodist Church, Merry Christmas. Especially if you are alone or grieving this season, I wish you a blessed and comforting night.

For about two seconds, I thought you had called Larry David that name, and was like ??????

I’m old as hell, according to Spotify.

Having a girlfriend will forever change your #SpotifyWrapped.

But Sturgill is in the right place. He’s always number one in my heart.

I still have one more day left in the classroom but after my final eval today, I have officially passed student teaching.

I still have a couple of things left to turn in, but I’ve cleared the biggest hurdle in my journey to a Master’s Degree.

What a weight off the shoulders.

Kicking off a week of looking at the starting pitchers on the BBWAA ballot, I reckon with Félix Hernández's early flameout, the lack of Hall-bound starters in recent decades, and the reality of decreasing pitcher workloads and career lengths.

One last visit to another of my favorite Seattle bars-the Pike Brewing Taproom near Pike Place Market.

I’ve had some fun times in this place, I am sad to see it go. It will definitely be missed, along with Kate’s Pub. I wish my favorite pubs would quit closing.

It was seven years ago today that the #Mariners traded The Big Maple to the #Yankees, and I am stuck wondering- why is time passing so quickly? It feels like maybe two years ago.

A 2017 tweet from AP reporter Mark Long reading: "Jaguars PK Jason Myers on his misses: "It feels great, dude. It's fucking awesome, man."

I'm sorry for Jason Myers and the Seahawks fans in my life but also I'm not going to pass up the opportunity to bring up one of my favorite answers ever given to a Talk About question.

Katie Wilson likely to be Seattle’s next mayor Katie Wilson leads Bruce Harrell by more than 1,300 votes after Tuesday's election update.

Not to be a dick, but my newsletter is six years older than Substack. Baseball Prospectus, as a paid product, is 13 years older. Also, "audience-backed media" covers radical concepts like "books," "magazines," and "newspapers." The idea that people shouldn't pay for words is a recent invention.

The #BlueJays failed to end their 32-year #WorldSeries title drought with last night’s loss to the Dodgers.

But least Canadians can now turn to hockey, where they have also not won a #StanleyCup in 32 years.

Baseball makes America bigger and the world smaller ❤️

I think that was my favorite overall baseball season of the past 20 years or so. I’m sad it’s over. Can’t wait until next year.

Let’s talk position player needs Seattle is expected to lose three starting position players to free agency without clear-cut replacements in place.

Now that the World Series is over, let’s talk about position player needs for the #Mariners.
