Anyways. How about them Blue Jays.

And since I'm in a bad mood generally, and going off on the PWHL specifically, I don't think the league deserves infinite patience and understanding from fans just because we love that they are supporting women's sports.

And since I'm mentioning the PWHL Expansion Draft, let me reiterate that it is an absolute farce that a six-team league believes that there is such a scarcity of talent that they need to allow their expansion franchises to absolutely pilfer the other teams' rosters.

Not at all surprised to see the Charge protect Ronna Savolainen. She’s big and mobile and I think just entering her peak. I 100% think she would have been picked in the expansion draft.

Seeing all sorts of Saskatoon content this morning because it was a newsworthy place yesterday, which gives me an opening to say once again that Saskatoon is the Best City in the Prairies.

Addison Barger crushes baseballs for his boys and for your pleasure.

On the other hand, Cal Raleigh is a fiend and a menace, and he needs to be stopped.

The look of a man who currently has 14 pitchers on the injured list.

The answer is in the thread now, so no cheating, but take a guess on these two contestants ages. I guessed deliberately low and…nope.

Barger? Legit.

Tampa? Cursed. Texas? Cursed. Toronto? Blessed.

Can’t stop the boom train.

Boom, baby.

Blue Jays? Runs? In this series?

There are few things in this world more uncouth than grabbing the seat back in front of you to pull yourself upright in a plane. THAT’S SOMEONE’S SEAT, YOU IGNORAMUS.

For @nytimes.com, I wrote about Zombie Arguments, issues that many of us thought were long settled decades ago--from Pete Rose to abortion to "Cats"--but simply refuse to die.

Everything dies in this ballpark. The Texas Mausoleum.

Booo. Truly, the most loathsome team in the PWHL. May they all get foot fungus.

Just rewound to look at it, and yeah. Who else but Britta Curl with a dangerous hit. Took out Meixner’s knees from behind.

GOAL CHARGE EAT IT MINNY

I’ve seen her so much that think I may be legally betrothed to the lady in the Instacart ā€œknock on the cantaloupe rindā€ ad. (btw, I think she’s awesome. Good job by her.)

And…? Your point is…? (What a complete sack of shit ghoul this guy turned into.)

Well, I guess I missed the Jays game. Question is whether if the PWHL game between Ottawa and Minnesota will be over by first pitch tomorrow.

It would be cool if people around PWHL stopped retconning fans’ negative reactions to Britta Curl’s general shittiness as some sort reaction to her on-ice villainy.

I, for one, still believe.

Anyways! Happy Saturday, hosers!

Jake Tapper’s all like: ā€œMy son likes video games and football and World War IIā€, and I’m wondering if he’s just reciting the lyrics to Dennis Leary’s ā€œAssholeā€.

What a buncha bums, the lot of ā€˜em.

I just selected the ā€œManager’s Specialā€ while renting a car, in case you were wondering what sort of maniac I am.
