I'm with Jeff and others in thinking the morality attached to Hall of Fame votes has gotten out of control, given some of the questionable figures already in the Plaque Gallery. But the opinion that you can't tell the story of baseball without bronze plaques is nonsense.
Let’s assume that you actually could feed a small family for a week with one pizza and ignore that he voted to cut SNAP. By his own reckoning, he’s eating 1/6th of a family’s weekly food for one meal. Seems like an apt metaphor for the consumption of the wealthy and powerful.
Had some deep dish pizza. Pepperoni and cheese and Canadian bacon and pineapple. You can feed a small family for a week w one of these
The X rebrand went over more poorly than renaming Heinz Field.

Lol…no one likes the Mona Lisa because they think it’s “realistic” moron. They like it because it’s art.
Red Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito told @bradfo he's getting messages from disgruntled bettors "after every game." So he took his concerns straight to the commissioner: newsweek.com/sports/mlb/red…
I had always heard that the problem with OPS is that it treated OBP and SLG as equal while OBP is way more important. Does this suggest otherwise?
It's probably time the correlations list got updated, so here we go! 10 years of MLB seasons (300 team-seasons of data), spanning 22,763 games and over 6.7 million pitches. This shows the relative impact that various stats have on a team's ability to score runs.
Genuinely think a big problem in modern discourse around film is how many people forget this

The Most Impressive thing I saw the entire All Star week? This 10 Year old girl has the Best Pitching Mechanics I've ever seen in a kid. 🤯 Literally. She's about 4'8" and topped out at 63 mph (without any warmup).
The fact that the @statedeptspox is terrible regardless of administration is a pretty good clue that US foreign policy is morally indefensible.
State Department @StateDeptSpox Tammy Bruce once again found herself tangled in contradictions and scrambling for a way out. BBC’s @TOMBATEMAN: Ambassador Huckabee said yesterday that the U.S. has asked Israel to investigate the death of Saif Musallet, the Palestinian American…
The Roman Empire looms…
Highest OPS+ among all rookies (min. 100 PA)
Yes, it was necessary to feed my 11 month old child her night time bottle at like 9:00 pm. Thank you for asking.
Hey Rooker…did you really need to feed your baby on camera? Sometimes people just want to see you play
Since the vast majority of those saved lives were black, brown, and/or poor, I doubt much of the GOP disagrees with Rubio’s assessment.
Two weeks ago, Marco Rubio said USAID “has little to show since the end of the Cold War.” Days earlier, a Lancet study estimated that USAID global health programs have saved 90 million lives—not since 1991, but since just 2001.
In the interest of fairness, they also haven't lost since visiting the National Zoo. Which many players chose to do instead.
.@RedSox hasn’t lost since visiting .@realDonaldTrump just reporting the facts here!
Yes, because Pete Fairbanks famously never throws sliders in two-strike counts. How on earth could Rafaela have hit one that stayed at the bottom of the zone?
I’m convinced Rafaela had the pitch. He was hunting the breaking ball and went down to get it. He knew it and swung like he knew it. Not sure if Fairbanks tipped it or if Cora is doing his thing again, but I don’t care one bit. What a win!
What on earth does Rafaela have to do to get on the All-Star team already?
Randy Arozarena has been named to the American League All-Star team! He replaces Julio Rodríguez on the AL's active roster
1000% this. The whole point is ultimately that Ned won the game of thrones by prioritizing mercy, compassion, and selflessness over power, greed, and rigidity.
You can so easily tell which critics of ASOIAF haven't read any of it. It's full of power fantasy. The evil characters exist to die ironic deaths that vindicate the good guys, and the good guys die in tragic ways that almost always amplify their goodness.
While this isn’t the best look for Raffy, this feels like some pretty important context.
Will Clark himself confirmed the story from @WillFlemming that Rafael Devers no-showed (3 times!) when he showed up early to provide mentoring at 1B masslive.com/redsox/2025/07…
