Arte Moreno bought the Angels in 2003 (the year after they won the Series) for $184 million. He then spent 23 years running them into the ground, let the stadium decay, wasted Trout and Ohtani, and sold for $4 billion. And the owners are crying poverty and threatening to kill baseball next year.

Small-market team that hasn’t won a pennant in 28 years: $3.9B Team that hasn’t won a playoff game since Blackberries were a thing: Even more than $3.9B Tell me more about how the people who own baseball teams need to start a labor war and risk a season to keep themselves clothed and fed.

In case anyone is wondering why a woman might offer to cook dinner for her abuser… it might be to keep herself and her child alive.

The Tigers, currently three games out of a playoff spot, decided they’d rather not have one of the 2-3 best pitchers in baseball

really big of Deshaun Watson to forgive the team that overlooked dozens of allegations of sexual assault to give him the largest guaranteed contract in NFL history, in spite of the fact that he has performed extremely poorly for them

Today would be a great day to leak the net revenue sharing transfers for the last ten years, so people can understand just how much money some teams are sharing and how much money many owners are just pocketing. MLB protects this information because your ignorance benefits them.

How fucking disgusting is this? These are probably the same people that put a steak on the ground, hide behind a tree, shoot a bear, and act like they’re elite hunters. It can’t be about capturing criminals if you’re exploiting their kindness to apprehend them.

White House press corps, I know some of you are shy, so let me help you get started. This isn't fifty questions--I could only fit twenty-one in alt text--but let me know if you need more!
Did you know that Trump himself had not posted the video when you defended it?
Why would you accuse people who were offended by a racist video of lying about their reactions?
What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made by someone else?
What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made without his knowledge?
How many people aside from Trump have access to his social media account?
Who are those people?
Which of Trump's other Truth Social posts were posted by someone else?
How can anyone be sure that posts under Trump's name come from Trump?
Why should anyone believe that this particular post did not come from Trump since it is consistent with his well-reported history of racist remarks and conduct?
If people can't be sure any post is his, why should anyone take any post under his name either literally or seriously?
What was the impulse for the staffer to make that post?
Has the staffer been disciplined in any way?
Will the staffer continue to have access to his account?
What does it say about Trump's judgment that he would choose a staffer with this kind of judgment to have access to his account?
Is the anonymous staffer a hastily invented concoction to which you pivoted once you realized that the story was going to outgrow your attempts to dismiss it?
How do you react to the almost universal condemnation of the post?
The President's late-night posting sprees are filled with lapses in taste and judgment as well as threats and pronouncements that go nowhere. What does that say about the President's emotional stability?
What does it say about the President's honesty?
What does it say about the President's credibility?
Hasn't your own credibility been damaged by your defense of something  widely seen as indefensible?
What does it say about you that you were comfortable not only defending the video but attacking those who were offended by it?
Doesn't the amount of lying Trump does, and that you do for him, undermine your ability to be trusted on anything?

In many ways we're better about these issues than we were 30 years ago, but in others we're not, still feeding fans lies about how money will ruin baseball straight from the mouths of the people who can afford to buy baseball franchises.

Baseball has survived a racist color line, game fixing, The Great Depression, two world wars, a work stoppage that canceled a World Series, and Bowie Kuhn. Can we stop talking about "one team trying too hard to win" as an existential threat to the game?

In sports, there would be few things more grotesque & craven than MLB reinstating a man who bet on games as an active player and manager. But from an industry leadership team that betrayed & lied about Oakland & Montreal, also entirely consistent.

the sports reference series of websites are some of the last good ones on the internet. they’ve never once changed their design to ruin it, have never hid critical functions behind a paywall, the stathead stuff they do put behind a paywall is incredible/worth charging for. i hope we never lose them

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

The point, I hope, isn't to create a perfect social media discourse. The point is to have a place to go where you can see posts by people you want to see posts from and not get yelled at by humans and robots alike.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
