Maybe, just maybe, Craig Counsell just isn’t a great manager.

Someone tell Senator Schmitt & his staff that former Hawkeye Caitlin Clark scored 27 points tonight with 15 assists & 7 rebounds for Sophie Cunningham’s team.

If you’re a Red Sox fan, there’s hope in Aaron Boone leaving Schlittler in too long or taking him out early or otherwise screwing it up.

Maybe the Phillies' front office should have been stressed about the bullpen like I was, 2 months ago.

Agree completely with this take: "At a time when President Trump is threatening to demolish American democracy, it’s nothing short of embarrassing that Pelosi would go all out for a candidate [Connie Chan] who so clearly has neither the experience nor the ideas to meet the gravity of the moment."

Endorsement: Who should replace Nancy Pelosi in Congress? It’s not even a choice
OPINION: The most intriguing thing about the race between Scott Wiener and Connie Chan to fill Nancy Pelosi’s House seat is that it has become a race at all, the editorial board writes.

So the Cubs use back of the bullpen guys to pitch tomorrow vs. the Red Sox (at Tropicana Field) bc they can’t catch the Padres. Does SD do the same even if that means helping DBacks?

Holy forking shirt balls
Since I was not present, I was a convenient target to be scapegoated and publicly vilified. You
recklessly agreed in court that I had committed misconduct without even asking for my account,
fully reviewing the record or briefing the law. That evening, you sent an office-wide email laying
responsibility at my feet for a felony prosecution that you personally directed over my objection
that the case was better suited to misdemeanor charges. You then publicly announced an
investigation of my conduct spanning twenty years. These inexplicable actions severely damaged
a reputation I worked hard to build over decades and have damaged my prospects for future
employment and income.

I’ve sat with this news all day and I’m just heartbroken. Kuip has had such a rough go lately (earlier cancer, his wife’s passing) but he brings such joy to every Giants broadcast. Sending Kuip healing prayers.

It’s not great. The ADL has more or less decided that antisemitism is fine as long as it’s not antizionism and antizionism is always antisemitism and it’s just depressing as fuck.

Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

As for the equities, the Government has a strong interest
in enforcing the rule, and implementing it will also “en-

detect election fraud. 91 Fed. Reg. 54972. On the other side
of the balance, the plaintiff States invoke the practical ef-
