this part of the lineup went 1-4 with a homer and two walks against degrom. i'll happily take that lol

All of those companies who built and began production at U.S. factories since last Wednesday have to feel pretty fuckin' stupid right now.

Fly the W and sing it, Chicago!

J.P. CRAWFORD HOLY SHIT WHAT A PLAY

The Mariners became the first team to defeat a defending, visiting Cy Young winner (Tarik Skubal) in the city he went to college (Seattle University) since the Los Angeles Dodgers beat 1975 NL Cy Young winner Tom Seaver on Aug. 18, 1976, who went to college at USC. #TheMayerGWS

"The beef is weak."

From Sheehan’s latest newsletter

Julio just murdered a baseball. Upper deck.

Just gonna drop this now and hope the team makes me look stupid

“Baseball has changed so much in the last twenty years. You cannot expect guys to go more than a good six or seven innings…. You can’t blame the manager, because why should he go with the guy on the mound when he has a strong arm in the bullpen?” - a baseball book in 1974

I need to keep telling myself this is Game 2 of at least 162. It’ll be fine. #ATHvsSEA

the chances of the A's winning dropped 70% in 3 batters

Arozarena bomb. Nice to see in a big spot, especially in a game that felt like it was sleepwalking towards a frustrating loss.

so weird how there's always one guy on every visiting team that is like "lol what marine layer???"

I need to follow exactly one person on bluesky that just describes what’s going on in Mariners games in basic detail. I don’t need the vibes, the vibes can be assumed

Dear Mariners, youtu.be/ojUtqivyEOc?...

man this team is truly 1000% back on their bullshit lol #Mariners

TRENT THORNTON IS NOT A HIGH-LEVERAGE RELIEVER.

Logan Gilbert with seven incredibly strong innings on Opening night! Give the man some offense! #ATHvsSEA

Bunting with one out down a run to get to Rowdy Tellez rocks. Lifetime contract for Mr. Manager Dan Wilson

It’s a good strategy to get your kids to root for the Mariners by telling them they get ice cream if the Mariners score. It’s also a great strategy if they keep asking for ice cream but you don’t want them to have any.

Mariners in mid season form. Logan Gilbert with 7 Ks on a very nice 69 pitches through 6 IP. He trails 1-0. #ATHvsSEA

The Mariners making me think about posting The Flowchart on Opening Day

Happy Opening Day.

I'm sorry but going to the white house after they tried to erase the contributions of the most important player in the history of your team is coward shit

I-L-L!!!

I love old All-Star game introductions. I always want to know who are the guys who do a full doff of the cap, and who does merely a tip of the cap... and of course who are the guys who do the finger gun.

I think Reggie Jackson said that about Bonds. Mickey Mantle said it about Reggie. Jimmie Foxx said it about Mantle. Home Run Baker said it about Foxx. Ed Delahanty didn't say it about Baker, because he fell over Niagara Falls.

And to be clear, no one had this belief 6 weeks ago because it's a crazy as fuck, delusional idea.

In today's newsletter I write about how, in some cases, Donald Trump agrees with the experts. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

Trump strongly endorsing a guy who raped a 14 year-old girl, lied his ass off about everything that mattered, and never once sought to take accountability for anything is about as on-brand as it gets.

Marco Rubio is like having Tom Wambsgabs as Secretary of State, a man whose ambition is to be an empty suit, on board to take any stance, say anything, whatever the boss wants, and sponge up some of the pain that comes back, all for the trappings, the title, the plane rides, the suits, to be there.

Still one of my most popular ones from the other place.

Professional sports leagues don't have the expansive socialism they have out of some desire for fairness or equity or competitive balance. They have socialism because it's a system that guarantees profits for capital, and they have gone to war with labor to keep it that way.

great movie, yes
