Wherever you are, join me in standing and booing the current run differentials of all AL West teams.

Every AL West team has a run differential that's far into negative territory.

Yo, Eddings has gotta see some serious consequences from this bullshit.

Derrick Goold tweet that reads in part "Hunter Goodman tells Denver reporters directly, succinctly he did not bring up the hat tilt. He was clear and direct on this."

Willing to suspend disbelief for this Reddit tale of the CTA Red Line. That's up to and including this being the first documented case of chicken rabies.

A Reddit post about an incident on CTA Red Line that reads: "I was in the second car. A guy got on carrying a traffic cone and a live chicken in one of those clear cat backpacks. About 30 seconds later the chicken got loose. Then the guy pulled the emergency handle because he said the chicken had rabies.
Police came and everyone had to get off the train. Supposedly the operator was pecked and EMT called."

"Pipped" and "gazumped" in the same sentence. Bless English soccer writing. #pipped #gazumped

LFC story in the Liverpool Echo using the verbs "pipped" and "gazumped" in the span of a single sentence.

MLB in one of its propaganda videos is referencing a CBS Sports roundtable in which every one of us said, no, MLB does not need a salary cap. I guess that's why they screen-capped the headline instead of, you know, quoting from the actual piece.

MLB is screencapping headlines referencing a salary cap in baseball, presumably to imply widespread support for it.

Reading "The Sea Runners" by Ivan Doig and am stuck on this brilliant simile.

"As when the eyelid of a wood duck watching you closes casually from the bottom up."

Says a lot about Team USA's current vibes that I thought he was saluting at first.

Pic of Joe Ryan doing armband work, but it sort of looks like he's saluting.

Moved to tears by the greatness of this umpire's name.

This umpire's name is Denver Dangerfield!

Look, if you want to be mayor of Chicago, you have to lie about this level of moral failing and innermost rot.

From a Sun-Time piece on Mike Quigley, who's running for mayor of Chicago: He also acknowledged being a Green Bay Packers fan who’ll be rooting for Jordan Love and the men in green when the Packers square off against the Bears Saturday at Soldier Field in the first round of NFL playoffs.

“I grew up with my father being a Vince Lombardi fan, and you got to stay loyal,” Quigley said. “You have to be honest with yourself and the public. We are what we are, in large part, because of our parents and our family. ... If I was to tell you something otherwise, I’d lose respect for myself and from others as well.”

This is like my fourth RDR2 playthrough, and I'm just now bothering to get Arthur's mustache to a level 10. It is glorious.

I was probably better off not knowing this.

I deeply appreciate the insular nature of the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

I feel you should know that Gorman Thomas had an absurd number of baseball cards in which he was photographed staring contemplatively into the middle distance. 🧵
