not lost on a lot of us that someone got ejected from a game because of a hat that wasn’t violating any MLB rules while multiple Giants earlier this year did violate written MLB rules pertaining to uniforms and were allowed to stay in the game (and received zero discipline from the league later)

We may have lost all the hockey, but at least Canada beat the Americans to this dumb joke about the horniest Olympic sport!
Headline from The Beaverton: “Doubles Luge canceled as Olympics runs out of condoms” Seth Meyers: Finally, the Olympic Village for the Milan-Cortina Games reportedly ran out of free condoms for competitors. It was so bad they almost had to cancel the two-man luge.

I do not understand this argument that having two back-to-back MVPs for the first time ever and Judge having a season that cemented him as a future Hall of Famer is somehow any less fun than it would have been if Raleigh won the MVP.

54.3% 64.0% Those are the two most important numbers in the MVP race right now, at least to me. The first is how often Aaron Judge gets out: 54.3% of the time. The second is how often Cal Raleigh gets out: 64.0% of the time.
