Ted Lasso has definitely been bad a lot longer than it was ever good.

Still feels weird to see "George Springer flies out to center fielder Daulton Varsho" and the Astros are the ones pitching.
To this, I will add simply that there will be a 2027 season.
To Love a Mariner Podcast@toloveamariner.bsky.social · 5h agoProbably makes no difference, but part of me thinks constantly saying "if there even is a 2027 season" manufactures consent for a lockout. I'd prefer not to normalize the idea of owners shutting down the sport in order to break a union. That should be a weird, extreme, unacceptable course of action.

I'm fairly certain this is the Grok prompt Mario Lopez used to get the hot dog fetish video of his niece.

The Astros have so throughly dominated the Metroplex this season that even Chad Dallas is feeling the effects.
You might remember Danry Vásquez, who was caught on video beating his then-girlfriend at Whataburger Field before getting released by the Astros in 2016. Not much seems to have changed, as he decided yesterday the best way out of a pickle was to punch the 3B in the face. Literally fuck this guy.
I thought this was a very noble way for Dana Brown to answer a difficult question at an awkward time
Chandler Rome@chandlerrome.bsky.social · 2d agoAt the trade deadline, Astros GM Dana Brown protected a future he may not ever see - www.nytimes.com/athletic/749...
The wheels haven't fully fallen off of Arrighetti yet, but they've been wobbling for a while. I'm not mad about this.
The least Mike Elias could do would be to trade a good piece to the Astros, his next employer, on his way out the door.
If you live in Philadelphia, I'm teaching a free class (with free stickers!!) on how to score a baseball game at Val's Lesbian bar next tuesday! Please come!
Stove is hot! But actually, Mayer has been on fire. He's allowed just one combined run over his last six starts, going back to June 24th. In that, time he's struck out 41 batters and walked just 9.
Chandler Rome@chandlerrome.bsky.social · 2d agoThe Astros are promoting touted pitching prospect Bryce Mayer to Triple-A Sugar Land, source tells @theathletic.com. This is what you've all been waiting for.
A few weeks ago I realized that tomorrow is the date the Ray Bradbury story “There Will Come Soft Rains” takes place. It’s a shame science fiction from 75 years ago isn’t relevant anymore
There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury
The voice-clock sang, breakfast was ejected, but no doors slammed. The garage chimed and lifted its door to reveal the waiting car. The house sat alone in a city of rubble and…

It’s Ryne@therhancock19.bsky.social · 3d agoI wish Jackson Holliday would come to St. Louis. Get him out of baseball poverty.
Can't believe im standing side by side with Astros fans at this point. I never thought I'd see the day id root for them.
LMAO now I’m a Pinkerton for not falling into line to support the one correct side in the millionaires vs billionaires battle
Peter Lambert (HOU) struck out eight in 5.2 innings
Most home runs this season against the Texas Rangers: Atlanta Braves (9) New York Yankees (9) Seattle Mariners (9) Yordan Alvarez (8)
In the off-season, when the owners talk about parity and making it easier for small-market teams to win, remember that they keep jettisoning their own chances to do so.
Eephus Tosser@eephustosser.bsky.social · 3d agoYou're 5.5 games back in a winnable division and 2.5 games out of a wildcard spot. You want to talk about salary caps, I want to talk about choosing the balance sheet over the playoff race.
"That's a deal you can do on Monday morning" and you literally didn't.
Passanthallich@passanthalbot.bsky.social · 3d agoJonHeyman tweeted Baseball people do like OF Zyhir Hope who’s seen as a future multiple MLB All-Star, but some say the package is light for Skubal “a top two player in baseball.” One rival says if that’s the deal, call around and ask anyone to beat it. “That’s a deal you can do Monday
I feel like you can't be mad about imbalances in both payroll and prospect capital.
Honestly I'm more mad about the Tigers than I am about the Dodgers.
