The Mets used to be the team that took pitchers and improved them. Now top talent delivers next to nothing over replacement, finding their way when another team's coaching staff has the knowledge to help.

A few weeks ago, Diaz went to AAA and the Dodgers coaching staff identified a problem with his mechanics. According to him, the next day he was back to his old self. Peralta's useless season turned around by the Rays' coaches. The Mets need a major coaching shakeup. www.nytimes.com/athletic/766...

How Peralta reclaimed his mojo as “Fastball Freddy” began with one pitch during his poor Rays debut — but his turnaround involves much more.

Somehow, lost in the dipshittery of the sports team confusion, is that farther down this rabbit hole the “gotcha” was that just being at an Atlanta Hawks game was somehow going to be evidence that Smith collided with Fani Willis.

It is so funny that the Reaganites who invited the Nazis into their party in order to nail down a majority are shocked that there are Nazis in their party. Rejecting the consequences of your actions is possibly the most core characteristic of the modern Conservative.

Once again, I'm begging Streaming platforms (Peacock being the example tonight) to STOP trying to broadcast sporting events when you don't have the technical team to do it adequately. The Giants/Cowboys game tonight is borderline unwatchable with all the skips and frame drops. Pathetic.

Almost inconceivably, Reaganites/Never-Trumpers are assigning the weakening of MAGA support to the death of Charlie Kirk, and not skyrocketing gas prices, a failed war in the Middle East, and poisoned food, none of which can be blamed on anyone but Trump. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Since 1980, a GOP POTUS means unnecessary wars & rocketing deficits, both of which GOP voters enthusiastically support. And when there's a Dem POTUS, the US pulls out of wars and the deficits reduce, and the GOP voters believe it's not being done fast enough.

Displaced Jersey Boy @exjerseyboy.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Yes, the GOP position is always "The Democrats didn't clean up the GOP's dumpster fire as quickly as we'd like", but remember that Obama's "war time" was cleaning up Dubya's disastrous, unnecessary wars, and did get us out of one of them, all while digging us out of the standard GOP POTUS recession.

"Bipartisan" is a funny adjective to add as a positive when the GOP will never, ever, ever contribute a vote to bill supported by a Dem POTUS, no matter how much compromise is offered. Dems can't pass bipartisan legislation, because the racist, billionaire-worshipping party won't contribute a vote.

Sure. The guy who called supply-side-economics "Voodoo Economics" but fully supported it for 8 years did recognize that deficits were getting out of control. But Bill Clinton also raised taxes, and balanced the budget. And didn't sell arms to US enemies to fund drug dealers.

Overall, I don't think their take is clever, or interesting, or insightful. My wife alternately calls it "Joyless Batman" and "Sad Batman", and I can't really argue. Batman should bring hope with his determination. Definitely not shoot machine guns from his plane or impale his enemies with rebar.

I really, really liked their take on Two-Face -- especially how the scarred side is the sane one! But other than that, the show is just... joyless, top to bottom. End of S1 I thought they might be turning a corner, but S2 centers on a Riddler that doesn't tell riddles & a Joker that doesn't laugh.

It's not new: Republican Justices (DON'T you dare call them "conservative"!) forbade a recount, granting GWB a Presidency because that recount would cause irreparable harm, but anything these hacks (Renquist through Scalia through Roberts through Alito) don't like politically, can't meet the burden.

I know folks credit the 2024 mid-season success to Lindor moving to leadoff, but the last two seasons have shown that that turnaround was bringing in Iglesias and Martinez, who injected a work ethic into a team that didn't have one, and lost it again after they left.

At this point in the season I guess it doesn't matter, but why do the Mets insist on putting Lindor in the leadoff spot? He's batting .235, doesn't steal bases, doesn't walk much. It's silly.

If the Democrats take the House, every Monday needs to be "Impeachment Monday". It would be trivially easy to find 52 distinct crimes Trump has done, and the Senate would be forced to individually defend every insider trade, seditious act, constitutional violation, illegal tariff, & sexual assault.
