Has anyone checked the lead investigator’s allegiances??

He is part of the weaponized DOJ IRS-CI unit… the Big Guy is obviously pulling the strings. /s

And it’s confirmed. Strider had TJS.

Edit: UCL surgery with an internal brace. I don’t know if that’s technically TJ, but he’s out for the season regardless.

Had to share.

This is a pretty good catch

I’ve always liked that guy, I thought a few years ago that we woulda/coulda/shoula acquired him.

Spectacular grab. Worth the click (on the link). Here’s a couple of grabs to whet 'yer whistle…

I’m watching the Dodgers and Nats, and the Washington CFer (Jacob Young) can really cover some ground.

The weaponized corporate judicial system says “you rang?” in response to MLB needing pitching:

Anybody wanna watch a 2 hour video on baseball contracts, how free agency came to be and the CBA fights surrounding salaries? Boy do I have a video for you

Kris Bryant to the IL again with back problems. We’re not happy about Abreu’s contract, but imagine how the Rockies feel about that Bryant deal.

Wow, I believe some flight crew may lose their jobs over this!

What in the actual hell did I just watch???
Ho. Lee. Shit. That is a serious breach of a secure flight deck and I’m astonished this happened. I can tell you from first hand experience this is NOT allowed at all in flight.
People are allowed to come say hi to us in the flight deck before or after a flight, but this is mind-boggling.
Wow.

Rendon has started to heat up for the Angels, with an OPS of ~.840 for the last week. But he is Anthony Rendon, after all, so today he injured his hamstring. I’m guessing a months-long absence.

Sadly, he is the “New Rice,” namely a fraud in every way.

This was just too funny. Boone ejected five pitches into the game because a fan yelled something after Boone was warned.

“I don’t care [that you didn’t say anything], you’re gone”

One of my high school basketball teammates was named Kirk. His nickname was Krack.

So in one game he commits a foul but the ref calls it on another player. He turns to the coach and says “Coach, that was Krack.”

Ref thought he said “that was crap” and T’d him up.

After the game our coach tried to explain it to the ref but he wasn’t buying it.

That story still amuses me.
