I can't believe the Dodgers. Using their deep-pocket owners to have a salary that overwhelms the competition. Bringing in all sorts of All-Star mercenaries they barely needed. Winning back-to-back World Series. The resulting labor strife leading to a lockout.

donald trump was clearly trying to do the "gas prices are high so iran doesn't get a nuke" line but his brain is applesauce so he forgot midway through the line that it's supposed to be bad

the one-game wildcard playoff was so much better. instead of four eager fanbases having to endure 9 innings of torture for everyone else's collective amusement, we get four "series" where half the fanbases think their disappointing team sucks shit. we have to go back.

i've never felt more like a boomer seeing clubhouse celebrations for a wildcard round victory. you should be happy to advance but embarrassed that you participated in this farce.

if cody gakpo came to spurs he would have scuffled, gotten a minor injury, and sat out the international break. instead he stayed at liverpool, thrived, and got seriously injured representing his country. what a dummy.

PSR for dummies: the english premier league has rules to make sure clubs like the soggy tossers don't take on an insane amount of debt to chase promotion, because if they fail and the team goes under the entire town of soggythrop also goes under and they'll all become wards of the state

under PSR every team has its own salary cap, which the team also controls. revenue from a bad bunny concert or a jacksonville jaguars game makes your cap go up. checks from an arab sheikh do not.

[senator smirking, anxiously waiting to unveil a big posterboard with a screenshot of a text message that just says "el duque"] so it is your testimony here today that on july 17 you DID NOT "remember" mlb journeyman livan hernandez, is that correct

the look on his face when he thinks he has him. "jack smith, the most audited prosecutor of all time, knows that i know he secretly went to atlanta and he's still lying to me under oath. he's the dumbass, not me."

years ago i mastered the art of when and where to use mid-sentence parenthetical em dashes for emphasis, now people think it means i didn't write it. ai can suck my fucking dick
