days since they lost a game they led after 8 innings 97 NYY 111 MIL 114 ATL 116 LAA 122 COL HOU 130 CHC 133 TOR 137 PIT 139 SD 150 CIN MIN 151 LAD 161 BOS 166 MIA 167 DET 172 KC 174 STL 177 WSH 178 ARI 187 PHI 199 CWS 229 SEA 234 NYM SF 237 OAK 269 BAL 280 TB 288 TEX 503 CLE

Ichiro's "GEORGE" was solid gold! 😂

The hope for the rest of the contenders in MLB is that the age of the Dodgers and the injury history and defense really plays a roll this season. Betts at SS,Muncy at 3B,Freeman at 1B, Teo and Conforto in the corners and Smith at C is not good and aging. Fragile pitching staff with aging bad defense

Dodgers outspending everyone else doesn’t bother me, but Star players agreeing to deferred payments from the Dodgers strikes me as hostile towards the MLBPA from a labor perspective and anti-competitive from a baseball perspective. That isn’t outspending. That’s rigging the system, and it’s bullshit

Both MLB and MLBPA need to agree to count AAV as stated instead of deferred value, during the next CBA negotiation period. LAD CBT payroll would go to $412m from $370m. $412m is 34% higher than the #2 PHI CBT payroll

This would not be happening today if - as would have happened in any actual serious democracy - GWB's presidency ended because of Katrina & Trump's presidency ended because of Puerto Rico. Again, the awful & illegal things just keep happening because there are never any actual consequences for them.

NYT is indistinguishable from the Onion now.

It’s an uphill battle against immediate bullshit like “Dems made the hydrants run dry” when the actual argument is “a half century of oil company and conservative policy has fundamentally shifted baseline conditions in favor of increasingly likely catastrophes” like who is listening at that point

bye fucko

This won’t get a lot of national attention, but it is quietly one of the more significant sports TV stories of the offseason. IMO, of course.

Shit I'm paying more now for all of these streaming services than I was for cable

This guy.... What a great day to be a Reds fan! #ATOBTTR www.mlb.com/news/terry-f...

Polling on deportation is absolutely fucked (like much issue polling) bc it boils down an enormously complex set of processes into an insane up-down evaluation. Tell people how deportations work, how it rips communities apart, and how it tanks large economic sectors and watch “support” evaporate.

Counterpoint: Do

If McDonald’s employees are finding shooters cops don’t need to make more than $7 an hour.

Slave owners didn’t want slaves knowing how to read. Knowledge is power. Easier to suppress the uneducated. In order for the rich to stay rich, the poor must stay poor. Lords vs Serfs. Eliminating the Dept of Ed & 13yr olds working in meat packing plants = living paycheck to paycheck in perpetuity.

Reds can now shift gears to the other outfielders on their list.

A little louder for the folks in the back: The development of vaccines is likely the greatest achievement of mankind. www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/202...

Scientists have already investigated this. The result? The doctor pushing this junk science had his license revoked for spreading deadly lies about vaccines.

I thought this was a good look from @evandrellich.bsky.social at deferrals and how everyone is wildly misunderstanding what they do and do not mean www.nytimes.com/athletic/597...

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/
