OBAMA: He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. It's gold everywhere.

If I were the Rays, I'd sign Chandler Simpson to a seven- or eight-year extension. Nothing longer than that, though, because Simpsons aren't nearly as good after their eighth season.

I have no idea why, but every couple of months, I get The Romantics' Talking In Your Sleep stuck in my head. Happening again now. And now it's stuck in yours too!

NEWS: the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders have unionized and the Cowboys have agreed to recognize the union

it's The Small Market World Series — but what is a small market actually? I break that down for y'all here ⤵️ leftonbase.beehiiv.com/p/what-small...

So @jenramose.online can back me up but Nevada is 100% “likes no one” country. Spend any amount of time in Nye County and you’ll see how laughable “likes California” is.

In case you’re wondering what the Outkick guy is up to with the Finals credential WNBA PR gave him: He saw two WNBA PR employees sitting at their desks during the national anthem and posted their photo to Twitter and has followed up with additional posts attempting to dox them

There needs to be a way to opt-out of all political texts once you've already voted. Also, actually researching downballot candidates does a LOT for your imposter syndrome. If some aggressively lousy dude can get his name on the ballot, you can admirably do your job.

Bad day for the “Nobody cares about the WNBA without Caitlin Clark” folks.

Come after me! I’M A MAN! I’M 40!

As a redneck child, I was obsessed with NASCAR. I had the drivers memorized, I watched every race on Sundays, and owned way too many little NASCAR cars. So with my 40th birthday coming up, I wanted to do something that 10-year-old me would think is cool: drive a race car!

Man, from start to finish, this has been a perfect day

Spotting that tipped knuckle curve really turned things around

I haven’t lived in California since 2019, but I’ve been getting plenty of political texts lately about props/candidates in CA. I don’t recall receiving any CA texts the past few years so what’s going on?

So… sorry to vague-sky but good things are happening. I’ve got a huge opportunity and I can’t wait to tell y’all more when it comes to fruition. I love being a baseball writer again.

Just realized my Facebook says I speak Latin, because I took three semesters of it in college. I've since forgotten about 99% of it lol.

Its a small ass world when you think about it. Like... 'Ya tu sabes' is just Dominican 'Yadidimean'.

The strong wind we’ve had lately blew a “no on question 6” sign (anti-abortion) from the street to under my car. So I put it where it belongs.

“Yesterday I got this email that was like, ‘Congratulations on your big day! We want to celebrate YOU!’ but when I told the guy at the register who I was, he didn’t even smile.“ — Ryan Hunter, local man

SDSU is losing to Oregon State 45-7. It’s early in the third quarter. My god.

Hi, everyone, hi, just need you to stop for a moment and watch this Tulsa TD.

Through 3 of 4 events of this crossfit competition, we are NOT LAST lol. My only goal. That might change because the last one is thrusters + pullups.

LFG

And now it’s time to sleep a few hours so I can be wildly mediocre at CrossFit in the morning 🫡

Atlanta’s arena for the Finals is still listed as TBD

Final: Golden State 87, Las Vegas 77 (OT) Valkyries advance to face Atlanta in the WNBA Finals.

Chelsea Gray's pull-up jumper misses, and we have overtime, tied at 71.

Jackie Young ties it up. 71-all with 26.6 remaining.

Aces take a timeout with 32.8 left in this game (and possibly their season), trailing the Valkyries 71-69. You can cut the tension in here with a knife.
