also it's real weird for them to say "this is the first world series game in tropicana field in 18 years" when @lynnhurtak.com & I were at the last one

Go read this @baumann.bsky.social story that really cuts at the heart of why the Brewers and Rays are here, at why they’re The Brewers and The Rays and other teams aren’t. It’s not a secret data weapon It’s a lot of secret human weapons. blogs.fangraphs.com/the-brewers-...
Apparently face value of tonight's World Series tickets in 142 were $800 compared to the $100 I paid for a Game 2 ticket in the same section in 2008, not that anybody is able to pay face value for anything anymore
How much it cost for four seats in section 142 the last time I attended an ALCS Game 1 vs how much it costs for one seat in section 142 today

>“We have the power of the purse,” Raskin told me. Given this White House has already openly flouted all concepts of appropriation, it concerns me that senior Democrats actually still believe this.
NEWS --> Dems are planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me a range of aggressive tactics will be deployed. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

Confused about this video because the guy you see at the start is Charis Giannopoulos who retired last year at the age of 37? And the player currently wearing #1 on the Maroussi roster is UAB and elsewhere legend Jordan Walker?
a 14 year old is the new youngest player in the history of the greek basketball league and i promise you are not prepared for just how much this professional basketball player looks like a normal ass 14 year old

3 out of 300 polled for a Michigan statewide race would be a poll of 100,000 people.
Mike Johnson: "When I'm in these big arenas, I ask for hands -- 'Show me your hand if you've answered a poll in the last six months.' There will be like three hands among 300 people. I'm telling you, these polls are off. All of them."
this season ruled, if not for in order martin gramatica, travis prentice, and randy moss we'd have gone undefeated well OK i think marshall would have beaten us even without moss but
The last time Ohio was 4-0 in the MAC, they were 6-1 overall and in those seven games combined had completed a total of 12 passes

this is just bad political communication period. with a profoundly unpopular president, you put out an ad to indicate just how aligned you are with his views on an issue that is not even in the top 100 for most voters?
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.
"virtue signaling to the activist community"
They’re likely hammering the shit out of him on this issue…in Iowa…so instead of virtue signaling to the activist community that you have their back and will yell at a Democrat (more than once on here!) trying to win in a deep red state, perhaps support the guy by not saying a anything about it

You know @hollyanderson.bsky.social when I opened that bougie ass puzzle box and that weird guy in leather with all the piercings said "I have such sights to show you", I wasn't so sure he could deliver. I guess he gets the last chittering laugh.
