The Tigers are about to be 2 1/2 games out of a playoff spot. What the hell are we letting 12 teams into the playoffs for if a team is going to trade one of the best pitchers in baseball when it's 2 1/2 games out of a playoff spot? We already have the NBA for this garbage.

I say we start pronouncing it with a hard G, the Los Angeles Dod-Gers, just out of spite.

“Excess oil soaking thru the covers”?? I’ve dissected ~1000 baseballs. Oily is the LAST word I’d use to describe the yarn. Enough to soak thru the leather covers would be more than unaesthetic; it would affect size, weight, COR etc. to the point of being outside spec. What a weird excuse…⚾️⚾️👀

There's a manufacturing issue with the baseball. Drag is down. Link unclear. Full story to come shortly, but here's the statement I got from MLB when I asked about it.

Yesterday the Texas Rangers erected a statue of a segregationist cop at Globe Life Field. A statue that was removed from public property in 2020 because of its racist history. @mlb.com has refused to comment. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

That statue, which was cast back in 1961, was modeled on 1950s Texas Rangers – as in the law enforcement Texas Rangers – Captain Jay Banks. Since it's unveiling 65 years ago it has spent most of its life at Love Field in Dallas. But then in 2020 it was removed and placed in storage. Why? Because Captain Jay Banks was a racist cop who made it his mission to stop schools from integrating.

This is an excerpt from the 2020 book, Cult of Glory: The Bold and Brutal History of the Texas Rangers by Doug Swanson, which describes' Banks' role in efforts to keep schools in Texas racially segregated in defiance of the United States Supreme Court's 1954 decision, Brown v. Board of Education:

Then there is the form and face of the statue itself. This dates to 1956, when the NAACP, backed with a court order, attempted to integrate the high school in Mansfield, about 30 miles southwest of Dallas. White residents erupted in fury, so Gov. Allan Shivers dispatched the Rangers. But unlike state police in other Southern racial hotspots, the Rangers in Mansfield did not escort black students past howling mobs of white supremacists. They had been sent instead to keep the black children out of a white school.

The statue was removed from public view in 2020 in the wake of that book about the Rangers being published. This occurred at the same time that statues of Confederates, Klansmen, racists, and segregationists were removed all over the country following the murder of George Floyd. But now the Texas Rangers Baseball Club, knowing full well the history of the statue, its subject, and its removal, and knowing that multiple municipal institutions decided it was inappropriate for public display, is happy to put that statue up in a public concourse at a major league baseball stadium.

When I learned of this yesterday afternoon I contacted Major League Baseball and asked the following questions:

Is Major League Baseball aware of the history of the "One Riot, One Ranger" statue and its subject, Jay Banks?
Is Major League Baseball aware that Love Field and the City of Dallas removed the statue and put it in storage in 2020 after Banks' involvement in attempting to keep schools segregated in the 1950s came to light?
Does Major League Baseball condone one of its Clubs erecting a previously-removed statue of a staunch segregationist at its ballpark?; and
Does Major League Baseball have any comment regarding the discomfort that will be felt by Black fans when confronted with the statue of a segregationist at Globe Life Field?
I did not receive a response. I'm going to assume that the league's silence on this means that it wholly condones the Rangers putting up the "One Riot, One Ranger" statue despite its sordid and extraordinarily well-reported history.

Three months ago I was hooting at the Metropolitan Airports Commission about ICE flights. Today they’ve sent me to holler at Congress. I’ll do my damndest to make you proud, Minnesota! #MNinDC

Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down. This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.
