Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes
Donald Trump and his associates are war criminals and traitors. They should all be jailed and tried for war crimes. I have nothing but disgust and disdain for this administration and their actions.
European Portuguese has the best words for cold and flu: gripe & constipaçao.
So worth it. Ben and Meg and Shane have been with me across multiple continents, helped through some bad times and have been there for many good times. I can guarantee that only White Noise Sleep for Babies will outrank them on listening time on Spotify for me this year. Support EW if you can!
In the too early takes department, Joey Wiemer is on pace for around 36.4 fWAR this year, which would make him more valuable than the 1.1 fWAR he put up in the three previous seasons combined.
There are many reasons to support @ewpod.bsky.social on Patreon and every episode is amazing. This episode in particular, though, is such a delight. Loved every second of the interview with Dolly. I'd listen to her stories for another 3 hours. Listen and support if you can.
This is an excellent piece on a shameful decision by my hometown team's hateful owner. Well done to @davyandrewsdavy.bsky.social and @fangraphs.com on doing great reporting. Ray Davis makes it difficult to continue supporting the Rangers. And make no mistake, he knew exactly what he was doing.
i think I am going to be tapping this sign a lot this year. If this information were public, everything about baseball's econ/labor conversations would be different.

Congratulations to Mark Teixeira on his big primary win in Texas. I am sure he will be a totally shameful and absolutely forgettable member of congress. It's basically what he's running on. defector.com/mark-teixeir...
Earlier this month, the Rangers installed a statue in their concourse that had previously been removed from public display over concerns about the racism. @davyandrewsdavy.bsky.social on the statue's history, the Ranger whose likeness it bears, and the team's decision not to grapple with either.

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.
