My Dad texts me once every couple months because a full screen "your computer has been compromised" page loads and he thinks he has been locked out with a virus, and he says "I didn't go anywhere bad"...and I don't know about that... I just tell him to reboot.

My 13 year old son has been watching a lot of stand up comedy recently and said “I sent you a Chris Rock clip that is hilarious” a couple nights ago and I thought “please don’t let it be that one....please don’t let it be that one…” It was “Bullet Control” though.

The Recruit > The Night Agent

Roki Sasaki's agent telling the Blue Jays and Dodgers to trade for as much international bonus money as they can and he might sign with them.

Think of how much money A Complete Unknown would have made if they had made Bob Dylan a CGI monkey.

Interesting video where Amiel Sawdaye talks about the behind the scenes of how the Corbin Burnes signing came to fruition. www.youtube.com/shorts/HRiQd...

Reading @BNightengale latest column and he casually mentions how far Alex Bregman's home in Phoenix is from Toronto and my ears suddenly perk up. I'm going to end up tracking players who live in Phoenix and getting my dreams crushed. us.yahoo.com/sports/bigge...

Going to get my wife and I matching t-shirts from the DBacks Team Shop to walk around Chase Field in. We get along slightly better than they do.

xMy way to early prediction on the Corbin Burnes opt-out putting it out there now so I can refer back to it), if the contract is a success and Burnes has the ability to opt out, he will make the NTC full so he can't be traded for the final 4 years.

I need the Corbin Burnes Press Conference already.

We have a couple more free agent closer review articles on tap this morning for pitchers the #Dbacks could potentially consider. First up is Kyle Finnegan, courtesy of @aaronrhughes.bsky.social www.si.com/mlb/diamondb...

The DBacks are in an awful RSN situation, play in a ramshackle stadium that only occasionally functions, charge like $3/hot dog and keep dropping fat contracts and trying to improve despite being in the toughest division in baseball, which I think absolutely rules.

I still can't believe the Dbacks signed Corbin Burnes. Dbacks are finally exploiting one of the biggest advantages they have: players who live in AZ and want to be at home year round. It may not always work out (See MadBum) but it is one of the few advantages we have.

I'm a day late because I was focused on the DBacks finally making a move, but the death Rickey Henderson is so sad, who I loved growing up in the 80s/early 90s. I was a skinny fast kid and he kept that delusional dream that I could be a big leaguer alive

[post credits Samuel L Jackson] “a complete unknown.” Did you really think you were the only one traveling? I’m here to talk to you about the Wilbury Initiative.

Welcome to the winter meetings, where maybe 6 or 7 big moves might happen if we are lucky.

And yes, yes I recently watched Band of Brothers for the hundredth time and that is why I thought of the Battle of the Bulge reference.

MLB Free Agency is consistently the most agonizing slog through winter since the Battle of the Bulge. I'm just sitting around waiting for my team to do something, anything, and it never happens. And when something finally does, its like a tiny drip and then I wait for another drip a month later.

In hindsight, I need to modify this. The Dbacks, Suns, Cardinals, AND ASU are all good at the same time in the first time in forever. And all we had to do was offer up the Coyotes as a sacrifice.

Book becomes the 9th youngest player in NBA history to score 15K career points: ▪️ LeBron James ▪️ Kevin Durant ▪️ Kobe Bryant ▪️ Wilt Chamberlain ▪️ Michael Jordan ▪️ Carmelo Anthony ▪️ Giannis Antetokounmpo ▪️ Tracy McGrady

Kenny Dillingham inherited a disaster at Arizona State. Now he's leading the Sun Devils into the Big 12 title game. (via @stevengodfrey.bsky.social)

I donated blood for the first time in my life last month and I just found out that I am O negative which is universal donor and the rarest blood type and man do I feel like an awful person for not donating blood sooner.

I only celebrate the truly American holidays like Black Friday and Prime Day.

Happy Black Friday for those who celebrate.
