Fuck this I’m watching Andor

Rethinking this

AS I WAS SAYING

Varshomer!

I think the rule should be that if the call on the field is a home run, once the home-run jacket is on, the call can't be reversed.

When I checked on the weekend, Heineman was second amongst Jays position players by fWAR, but you wouldn't immediately see him on Fangraphs because you'd have to *substantially* reduce the playing time filter from the default.

Danny Jansen is cool.

The only person truly responsible for Pete Rose's absence from Cooperstown is Pete Rose, for the actions he took in life, knowing the penalties. If MLB wants to induct him because it is ready to turn a blind eye to sports gambling, that reflects a profound moral failure of the game's stewards.

Feldman made a good point about flattened lottery odds that I hadn't heard elsewhere: when really bad teams slide back (as has repeatedly happened over the last few years), it just means they'll tank (or suck) again in subsequent seasons, so flattened odds can encourage (or perpetuate) tanking, too.

Pete Rose in the afterlife finding out he's HOF eligible

I'm Kinsella-pilled, so Shoeless Joe can head right in to the Hall, but if they're going to continue to use the character clause as a cudgel against A-Rod and Manny (and Bonds at the committees), the BBWAA and whatever committees are involved have an obligation to tell Rose to fuck off forever.

FWIW Santander & Gimenez (and Angel Bastardo, who is on the 60-day IL) are Venezuelan, and Yariel was born in Cuba (I don't really understand how citizenship/nationality works for Cubans in MLB, but I think it's complicated), and they haven't had trouble so far, but a travel ban would be disastrous.

Manfred specifically said at the time: "...The results of this work demonstrate to me that it is not possible now, over 95 years since those events took place and were considered by Commissioner Landis, to be certain enough of the truth to overrule Commissioner Landis' determinations"

I had really been hoping that it looked worse than it is. This fucking sucks.

It looks like it's Patty Hajdu, who is the Minister of Jobs and Families (and other stuff, too).

Make unionizing (small) workplaces in #hamont usual again.

The Liberal Party of Canada lost their late-90s hammerlock on power b/c they devoted more energy to fighting over who had power within the party than actually winning elections, but at least they were wiping the floor with the opposition when they descended into a pointlessly destructive civil war.

Ichiro isn't just eligible for Cooperstown, he's going in this summer.

I don't think he (or the party generally) would go for it for any number of reasons, but it would not surprise me if a few New Democrats tried to start a Draft NE-S movement in the upcoming leadership contest.

I've been on a bit of a Welch/Rawlings kick lately, and this song is just so lovely and well-considered. It's remarkable how their voices sound like they were designed in a lab to fit together—on a record they sound like Gillian singing multi-tracked harmony. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_LV...

My most strongly held "process" belief is that voters will always choose the real thing over some watered-down imitation, so "triangulating" towards an opponent's position validates that position, makes you look phoney, and alienates your own voters. Don't fucking do it!

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could create a human/funko pop hybrid that they didn't stop to think if they should."

called it

So who’s the Minister of Labour for the purposes of the Canada Labour Code? Is it: the Minister of Jobs and Families the Minister of Industry or the Secretary of State (Labour) (not actually a minister)? The Table of Public Statutes and Responsible Ministers just says “Minister of Labour.”

Once again thinking about funiculars (Renzo Piano Studio, Geneva - Renzo Panio)

best case is that this is a pointless makework assignment to keep solomon occupied and away from anything that actually matters (and carney’s lunch schedule)

that’s it I’m going back to bed for the next 35-40 years

Adios, Yaletown.

The dissenting vote—to vacate the injuction and allow the drag ban to come into effect—came from this 95-year-old Ford appointee.

This appears to be posted from a universe where Boston does not exist

Let’s hear the brain worm out www.mediaite.com/politics/rfk...

What are the odds that at least some of Sir Keir’s brain trust are happy to see this? “Let’s see Reform outflank the Rivers of Blood!”

If these comparisons are even remotely close to accurate hook Collin Murray-Boyles straight into my veins

Hey guys, wanna guess what the player The Ringer is comparing to these guys looks like?

Raptors post-lottery mock drafts (that I could find after a half-assed search): The Athletic, Sporting News and Yahoo: Khaman Maluach The Ringer, CBS and SI: Kasparas Jakucionis ESPN: Collin Murray-Boyles USA Today and Tankathon (which might be automated?): Derik Queen Bleacher Report: Noa Essengue

Listening to the Zach Lowe podcast while I watch the game(s) and the colloquy with Rob Mahoney on the one team the universe and basketball gods should not allow to win the lottery is not doing my tenuous mental health any favours.

Clyde Frazier is a gift we don’t deserve

Hoping this for Jayson Tatum

I really hope that Tatum’s ankle isn’t as bad as it looks

My understanding is that analytics say the best shots are either threes *or shots at the rim* and hey Jaylen Brown just figured that out as I was halfway through tapping this out.
