Wife called me out on "having your nose stuck up in the air" here. No, I get it. It stinks (literally and figuratively). But I can't walk past the irony of our Gulf enjoyment curtailed by ... the Gulf. youtu.be/bumuMmYzF-A?si=3yjj…

Suddenly, even TrumpCovidBidenTrumpAgainIranflation gas prices seem ... only moderately absurd.

I for one, am in favor of more varieties of taxation. 7 different additional government charges hardly seems like enough for an Uber ride.
I wasn't even congested that day.

Glad they wiped Bundy references, but still. It's like somebody took the "doing things in real life is more mentally healthy than doing things online" mantra as a challenge.
It’s hard to escape on local social media —ads and posts for an upcoming pop-up speakeasy all about serial killers, including Ted Bundy, whose Tallahassee rampage still scars many in town. wctv.tv/2026/06/02/backlash-…

Obviously, this is enough room so that it's not batter/runner's interference. But the subtle gamesmanship comes with a risk: Catchers are taught to really chunk that mask. (Also, nice grab, Mr. Blue.)

Bob Horner famously had several seasons shortened by injuries. How good was he when he was in the lineup? For his career he had 162-game averages of 35 HRs and 109 RBIs. Reggie Jackson's were 32 and 103.*

ALT Bob Horner: 1957 - 2026
ALT Bob Horner built a career out of being first. He was the first overall pick in the 1978 draft after an illustrious collegiate career. He was the first Braves draftee to skip the minor leagues entirely and debut directly in the majors. And he was the first Atlanta player to ever hit four home runs in a single game when he did so against the Montreal Expos in 1986. The National League Rookie of the Year in 1978 and an NL All-Star in 1982, Horner teamed with Dale Murphy to form one of the most feared power duos in the game for nearly a decade. The Atlanta Braves extend sincere sympathies to his wife, Chris, two sons, Tyler and Trent, and his numerous friends and fans across the game.

Obviously, Reggie played twice as long and had a longer production decline etc. etc. The point here is that when Horner stepped into the box, that's the level of threat he was to take you deep.

2016 Twitter would’ve had a dozen “Chadwick Tromp’s Sunflower Seed” accounts by now.

Hot enough to melt the glorious polystyrene clamshell-shaped box the Big Mac came in. (We can probably still find intact ones in landfills in order to test my theory).

This is solid as a most iconic list (not greatest). But don’t go to sleep on Joe Garagiola for either list. Ahead of his time with relaxed analysis and just SOUNDED like baseball.

The merry-go-round brings two memories. In one, I'm a 7-year-old hanging off of it, standing in the middle, even running on it as it whizzed around. In the other, I'm an adult making it a quarter turn before lying down to dictate my last will and testament.

Never stop asking government to justify spending your money and to justify what it's doing with its time and effort. If it's a stupid question then it's an easy justification.
.@POTUS destroys ABC Fake News reporter: "It's such a stupid question that you ask. We're fixing up the Reflecting Pond to the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and you say, 'Why are you fixing it up?' Because you can understand dirt maybe better than I can—but I don't allow it."

So @matthewbwake's piece on David Lee Roth's southern rock/blues rock connections sent me searching for this glorious honky tonker he did with @TravisTritt in the early 90s. youtube.com/watch?v=RBsbBTnG…

RIP former Atlanta Braves broadcaster John Sterling, who also called quite a few Yankees games as he neared the end of his career.

We've heard @BrandonGaudin, among others, really be able to perform with a variety of color/analyst personalities to get the most out of the broadcast. And, wow, did Summerall have to have to pull it back to have the right touch with Madden.

This is one of the first politician interviews I've watched in 15 years that didn't make me want to gouge my eyeballs out with a rusty potato rake. What's impressive about @BenSasse is that he's so smart that he isn't consumed with telling you he's smarter than.
Every American should watch every second of this video.
Thank you, @BenSasse.
