Nebraska has produced some decent pitchers in recent years.

John Clay @johnwclay.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

So happy they drafted a pitcher. I know you're not supposed to draft for need, but the lack of pitching depth in the system is appalling.

After illegally abducting Maduro, Trump has just sold $250M of Venezuela's oil to Vitol. John Addison, a senior trader at Vitol who helped broker the deal, gave $6M to Trump's 2024 campaign. Pay-to-play imperialism.

Obstructing traffic doesn’t justify lethal force. The agent's own video shows that he was to the side of Renee Good’s car when he fired his gun. Multiple law enforcement officers have said those shots weren’t justified. This isn’t about vibes or politics—it’s about accountability. Investigate it.

For three years of Edward Cabrera, this feels like a steal to me. I don't think this package approaches what the Orioles gave up for Shane Baz.

President Trump said on Saturday that Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and would act as a partner in letting the U.S. run the country. Less than two hours later, Rodríguez made clear she viewed the U.S. as an illegal invader that must be rejected.

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?

Despite his support of Trump, I have a lot of respect for Sliwa and the work he did to clean up the streets of New York in the 80's. He saw a problem and he tried to do something about it.

I will never not get nervous seeing a starting pitcher pulled early when he still looks sharp. But it worked out this time.

This is the risk that comes when deferring to make certain upgrades to the roster until the trade deadline vs. the offseason. Giving themselves some financial flexibility for in-season moves can be helpful but feels like a missed opportunity to add a more proven SP given the Cubs' prospect capital.
