Nobody made more Odyssey-coded movies than Wolfgang Peterson. It’s like three decades of men against the world, epic fantasy quests, men losing their memory, doomed boats, and literally the Trojan War.

Jackson Merrill capping a two-out, 10-pitch PA with a 103.5 mph RBI single is just not something I would have expected two months ago. Just a completely different player since the all-star break. E-Rod threw the kitchen sink — 5 different pitches — and JM made contact with everything he swung on.

You laugh, but Dub Gleed is having a really nice season at High-A Vancouver. If it Gleeds, it leads.

oh no the Blue Sox are trading Jackston Fuxley for Hjonwald Mendoza!!!! this is what you sound like

Tempo trailing by 29 with three minutes to play and Scotiabank Arena still looks like this, with people cheering and dancing during a timeout.

How does using teen girls as props in a highly visible anti-trans campaign align with the “protect girls” ethos, I wonder.

"father god, I prayed and prayed, but you never came to save my fantasy baseball season" "my son, who do you think gave you post-ASG jackson merrill?"

Shane Bieber chased in the first inning after a truly Bieberesque performance. He was like, BB, BB, BB, ohhhh BB, BB, BB, noooo

It’s like the nondescript visuals that get used in ads for grey-market sports books that aren’t allowed to feature real licensed gear.

The Bills’ alternate uniforms are somehow worse than other alternate uniforms, all of which are bad.

Sen. Ron Johnson: "I can only imagine what America would do if Canada or Mexico came across the border and butchered 50,000 Americans. We'd wipe out those nations."

Need the Blue Jays' top Vladologists to study Adrian Beltre's final season in Seattle, where he hit just 8 homers with a .683 OPS in 477 PAs. Or more aptly, study his lone season with the Red Sox — the start of a 9-year run where he averaged 25 homers and 32 doubles with an .872 OPS.

New Frankenstein adaptation but it's a mad scientist at Johns Hopkins trying to combine the Orioles' two interminably banged-up catchers into one elite batter.

The Aces’ coaching staff is rocking a decidedly ugly hoodie-and-jacket uniform tonight.

Going to see the movie five times, all PLF screenings, so that I can assert, with authority, that The Odyssey went TOO WOKE!!!

Mike Johnson, asked about Maine shooting by ICE officer, says he hasn’t been briefed and doesn’t know much: “I know that there was a tragic shooting. And I’m not going to comment on it because I don’t know. And you guys can mock me for not knowing that. I worked about 22 hours in the last few days.”

Playing the role of Canadian peacekeeper in a bar in France packed with, improbably, Spaniards. Hoping to avoid an Archduke Ferdinand incident here.

The mice were so jazzed, they immediately launched their own study, testing the effects of cocaine on slightly smaller mice.

The results suggest that cocaine, a popular drug used by an estimated 25 million people around the world, may rewire the genomes inside cells of the brain’s reward system, called dopaminergic neurons. www.404media.co/mice-cocaine...

This is an outrage! (Can they also review Morocco’s three goals against Canada?)

🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card. FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.

Toronto had a low temp 0 degree celsius exactly two months ago on May 2, btw.

Kawhi returning to Canada could be the first NBA blockbuster influenced by extradition policy.

What is the argument for allowing sports books to offer bets on outcomes that are as easy to manipulate as "first pitch is a ball" or "player records less than 3.5 rebounds"? Is the industry line just: "If we don't offer these bets, grey or black market operators will — and we provide oversight"..?

The Pistons having to consider whether to commit up to $449 MILLION across a pair of 5-year deals to Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson would have given teenaged me a brain hemorrhage.

Close enough, welcome back Z-Bo.

The Pistons have traded Isaiah Stewart to the Grizzlies in exchange for three future second-round picks. The 24-year-old big spent all six years of his NBA career with Detroit. (H/T Shams Charania)

@cptowers.bsky.social Kyle Teel took 9 swings across his 4 PAs in his ‘26 debut. Savant says his bat speed avg’d 74.3, up from 69.5. Smallest of samples but something to track, esp. w/ Vargas being the qualified leader in Y2Y bat speed gain (on a pretty good CHW offense to begin with).

Michael Bay has reached a deal to adapt “You Never Take Me to Bangladesh” for Amazon Prime, sources tell Variety. The action-thriller is set to star Michelle Yeoh, one of the lesser Hemsworths, and Ben Kingsley for some reason.

How lucky we are to live in this time — the first moment in human history when we are, in fact, visiting other worlds.
