New research shows that the US has been a global laggard curbing crash deaths. If the US had merely matched improvements in 14 peer nations, 500,000+ lives would have been saved from 2000-24. doi.org/10.1080/1538...

Teams should never hesitate to trade walk-year players within the division.
May's a nice get for Brewers. Underlying performance much better than ERA and strong velocity rebound this season.
Reminder that there's always a flurry of deals right at the deadline hour, and some are even approved by the league/announced after the deadline passes. Hold your fire.
As of today, only the Yankees in the AL have a better run differential than the Tigers, who are deadline sellers.
my neighborhood 7-11 closed a couple years ago and tried to reopen but couldn’t get the permit approved because there’s a preschool next door and 7-11s sell alcohol (the previous permit was grandfathered in). i saw a fence going up around the lot recently and looked up what was moving in: a gun shop
Shout-out to gameday for letting me know that Okamoto's four game hit streak ended yesterday.
Editor @scottdsimon.bsky.social said I should make this one free, and we almost always listen to Editor Scott. So on the big trade, posted free. Read, love, subscribe. www.joesheehan.com
Anyway, the union should propose giving the Dodgers back to Frank McCourt in lieu of a cap. Let Frankie Parking Lots save baseball.
Man, if you're the Brewers I don't know how you don't top that Dodgers offer for Skubal.
The most timeless deadline tradition is buyer execs anonymously whinging to rumor-peddlers about how much seller execs are asking for in trade.
I'd keep Skubal if I were the Tigers. They have ground to make up, yes, but at the expected level they've been a better team than everyone in front of them for the third wild card spot.
Plaxico Burress compared playing with the Jets to prison: "They're both kind of similar because when I walked into prison on my first day, I was like, 'damn man you a fucking loser.' And I had the same damn feeling every day I walked through the door with the Jets."
Squished in the middle of this story was this heartbreaking paragraph. Unconscionable.
Brian Lyman@brianlyman.bsky.social · last wk.A lot of what-the-hell moments in this story, but building a data center in a floodplain in Louisiana is inviting the wrath of Poseidon.
Trea Turner is a college shortstop now in that you wonder if he's going to make the play every time it's hit to him.
Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...
Researchers used electric stoves to treat asthma. It worked.
The latest evidence that gas is bad for your health.

Willing to suspend disbelief for this Reddit tale of the CTA Red Line. That's up to and including this being the first documented case of chicken rabies.
Still riding high after seeing Argentina eat shit yesterday.

If the Cardinals want to find out who Jimmy Crooks is, then they need to play him more than twice a week.
A third-place game, no matter the sport or the tournament, is an unserious waste of time.
All right guys, I would love your assistance. I've posted a 10-minute video recapping the extent to which Jeff Pearlman's Ruben Rivera video plagiarizes the visuals from my own video on him from 2021. There are 23 instances in which his editor lifted from me, and you can see them all in this.
Jeff Pearlman's Ruben Rivera video sure is familiar...
