A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.
Chuck Connors of “The Rifleman” fame once told me I reminded him of Woody Harrelson.

I’d make Japanese Style Milk toast.
Practical considerations aside, a sport couldn’t be more well-suited to a promotion/relegation model than #mlb. Let the Rockies, Pirates, Marlins, White Sox, et al, slug it out for the third-division crown and spare us having to hear how they’re economically disadvantaged.
And if they lose, I’ll be aggravated tomorrow night.
I thought they were all broke.

On the other hand, Bud Harrelson (lifetime .236 hitter) hit .333 against Gibson in 76 PA, leading me to conclude that Gibby was no Fergie Jenkins. #cubsforever
Everyone at the convention is looking for the guy who did this
#chicagoblackhawks’ piece of the probability pie wouldn’t cover a single fork tine.
You know one of your hometown teams is doing a full-on tank job when you’ve NEVER EVEN HEARD OF some of the guys they’re getting in trade. #chicagobulls
Just read @keithlaw.bsky.social’s new farm system ranking. Has Cubs a sad 18th. Of Brewers, ranked first, he writes, “They’re well-positioned to remain contenders for the next five years, at least.” Yeah, shouldn’t have looked.

Scam alert: if you get a message saying free cinema tickets for “Melania” don’t open it.
It’ll contain tickets for “Melania”.

I love #sandiego.
Saw the #Dodgers’ social video heralding the signing of Kyle Tucker. King Tuck played 633 games for the #Astros, 136 as a Cub. But all 22 shots of him in the 30-second video show him in a #Cubs uniform, none in Houston’s. You’d almost think L.A. has a reason to dislike the Astros. #mlb
The longest tenured position player on the #Rockies roster is Kris Bryant.
“Seinfeld” ceased being funny around the time we learned Kramer’s first name.

I’m dying for #MLB players to report for spring training, partly because I’m sick of seeing every story about Kyle Tucker show him in a #Cubs uniform. In the meantime, just AI him into a Dodgers uni. As far as I can tell, redressing athletes into their new team colors is the best use of AI anyway.
Now we know what it’s like to have a Rajai Davis home run.
Free for all: The Cubs cobbled together a hung over 2016 World Series reunion panel, and it was a good time. www.pointlessexercise.com/the-2016-cub...
Marquee won't exist in a few years.
And good riddance.
Hopefully Crane gets thrown out with the rest of it.

I don't care what Bregman plays like 5 years from now.
Cubs roster is almost entirely in or about to exit their prime over the next 1-2 years, not to mention most of their contracts expire too.
Cubs need to make a push now. Getting Bregman helps accomplish that.
An impact pitcher at TDL will too.
