If a double play is a pitchers best friend, a triple play is the friend with benefits. #baseball

Well, because the Sixers advanced to the 2nd round the Springsteen concert in Philly on 8 May was moved to 30 May. Every place we had tickets or reservations was very understanding except for @hiltonhotels.bsky.social who refused to move the days and charged for a single night just to cancel.

@mlb. It's 2026 MLB, figure out how to sync up the game to the radio broadcast already; currently the radio audio is an entire play ahead of the video on every device. This can't be that hard.

There's the first dumb base running mistake for the #Yankees

I love Frank's Red Hot! I also think I have a genius idea for them that they don't currently have a product for.

Yes we should arrest any immigrant who commits a violent crime just as we should with citizens. I could not care less if they walked across a line without permission. If they are good people, working for a better life and are undocumented just create a simple way for them to get documents.

WHERE ARE THEY?!!! open.substack.com/pub/bigbluem...

Increasingly, how people think about science is shaped by political identity. 79% of Democrats think public funding essential. Only 45% of Republicans agree. 65% of Dems think U.S. losing ground (true). Only 32% of Reps agree. #ScienceMatters

Fine, just cave Dems. Let the whole thing blow up and destroy both parties. The GOP is evil and the Dems are useless. I'm convinced our only hope for a bright future is for a truly Progressive party to rise out of the ashes.

The playoffs are Kryptonite for Yankee hitters.

With the affirmative action ruling and this ICE one the conservatives on SCOTUS are sending a very clear message. It's perfectly fine to consider a person's race when keeping a minority group down but definitely not when attempting to lift them up.

I'm convinced Aaron Boone just plans on losing certain games and this is a prime example. There's no way Boone thought this strategy would result in anything but a loss. He looks at the schedule and just plans our certain games to lose and thinks it's genius strategy. #Yankees

Something I can't stop thinking about the big shitty bill. Republicans have been cutting about cutting Medicare for decades but didn't because they knew they'd lose tons of votes once people lost it. What if they are doing it now because they aren't worried about elections anymore?

Mon Mothma is one of the biggest badasses in all of Star Wars. Out of the galaxy awesome.

America is a country that will happily spend hundreds of billions every year to hurt and kill people but fight like hell against spending a couple of hundred to help people.

I've watched a lot of baseball, a lot, and this #Yankees game ranks pretty high on the most crazy games I've ever seen. Absolute insanity at every turn.

The Tampa Bay Rays have a pitcher with the last name Askew who also throws askew (sidearm).

In a phone call with The Tribune Thursday night, Rep. Trevor Lee denied ever saying Nazi flags could be displayed in schools. Here is video of Lee saying Nazi flags could be displayed in schools.

People who hate the government and want to see it destroyed are going to find out just how much of their health and safety depends on said government.

Over the last 45 years the people who hate the very idea of America have convinced half the people of America that those who truly love and want to preserve America are the ones that want to destroy America.

A century ago the Progressive Movement fought for clean food and drinking water, safer working conditions, environmental protections, voting rights, a strong social safety net, protections for immigrants, higher wages, an end to monopolies, and strong labor unions. Let's do it again.

The idiot who voted against Ichiro has to go down in history and be forever known as the idiot who didn't vote for Ichiro. That is a just punishment. Far in the future one of his great grandchildren will ask him "granpapa why didn't you vote for Ichiro?" And he will hang his head in shame.

Who the hell didn't vote for Ichiro Suzuki?!

I think that all the anti science people believe that scientists and doctors only have access to the same information they do; nothing more. So they just see it as a difference of opinion instead of knowledge vs. ignorance.

I know I'm far from the first person to notice this but I was watching Shawshank Redemption again the other day and when Andy is telling Red about his dream of going to Mexico Red calls it a "shitty pipedream." Which is how Andy actually gets here in the end, through a shitty pipe.

Oregon is the definition of "can't win the big one."

I turn 50 soon and I'm getting the shingles vaccine that very day. It's my bday present to myself.

There are a lot of amazing achievements in sports. People overcoming injury, incredible comebacks, persevering through hardship. But to me the most incredible, unbelievable achievement of anyone is Serina Williams winning a tournament THREE months after giving birth. That's superhuman.

No matter how many measuring tapes you have in your shop when you need one and go look for one you will only be able to find one of them in the last place you would think to look. When you don't need one you will see them everywhere.

The SNL skit about Gladiator II being musical is just turning it into a Bollywood movie. And this is what makes Bollywood movies amazing.

The line "as God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly" is one of the top 5 lines ever said on TV.

I quite enjoy Cosmic apples.

I know there is no god because John Candy has passed and Donald Trump is alive.

Taught my son to drive a manual today. These are the good days in life.

One of the things I've done since the election that has really helped is to go back and read The Complete Far Side. Just amazingly therapeutic. After that comes the Complete Calvin and Hobbes. Laughter really is a powerful medicine.

Get in losers, we're riding out tonight to case the promised land.

@allidoisnguyen.bsky.social Glad to see you over here

Retweet if you, like me, are objectively sexier than Benny Blanco. Retweet twice if you, like me, had to google "Benny Blanco" to ascertain this.

The Liberals in the U.S. have dragged this country kicking and screaming into a modern society. Due to resistance from conservatives we have the bare minimum of one. Now conservatives are going to destroy it all because they think their god told them too. Religion has doomed America.
