Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
yeah i'm struggling struggling to get this freaking article off my timeline
[goes up to expensive-looking classic car] oh wow, what’s that, a ‘62 Rortvedt-Fedducia? [the other husbands at the get-together pretend they didn’t hear me]
Ben Rortvedt and Hunter Feduccia are here in Chicago. Expect that to be the Dodgers’ catching tandem for the immediate future.
I call this one “Smelling the Capybaras in Paraguay”
And yet not a single team tried to trade for them at the deadline. This is what's known as a market inefficiency.

[frantically leaving voicemails on my editor's phone at 4:38 a.m.] WE HAVE TO CORRECT OUR STORY. RAMOS IS STILL HERE.
imagining a mournful post-game celebration where the Giants' outfielders tearfully and solemnly thrust their hips together as a tribute to Heliot Ramos
🤖 SFGiants We'll take game one 💪
This *definitely* qualifies as a worthy bit. Well done.
🤖 John Shea And sure enough, this little speculation became reality. Giants officially have a Kent and Bonds aboard again, though Posey pointed out "it had nothing to do with" Jeff Kent and Barry Bonds being star players. "We like Kaeden Kent and Peyton Bonds for the players that they are."
Kaeden Kent and Peyton Bonds in the 2030 lineup wouldn't even be funny. It would be a legit sign that the simulation is running out of memory. And you people are laughing?
hearing that the tigers are receiving kash considerations in the deal, working to confirm
@Ken_Rosenthal tweeted Padres acquire Casey Mize and Gage Workman from Tigers for Kash Mayfield and Jackson Wolf, source tells @TheAthletic.
oh, man. he almost does a full despaigne. beautiful.
🤖 Tobey Schulman 🔁 by Susan Slusser Giants just got a demon in Joniel Hernandez. Remember the name.
The Padres are reportedly eating about half of Robbie Ray’s salary, horrifying onlookers
made a supercut of robbie ray releasing his fastball, hope you enjoy
Replaying Ocarina of Time, got to the good part
also, we're doing all sorts of trade grading and such over at the athletic, please take a look if you are so inclined www.nytimes.com/athletic/748...
Giants do well with prospect return in Robbie Ray deal: MLB trade grades
Padres exec A.J. Preller has never been afraid to part with good prospects to get what he wants. This trade was no different.

oh when adley rutschman was all "I think you should leave" this and "I think you should leave" that, you thought it was adorable, b,ut when the orioles say it back to him they're the bad guys? #doublestandardmuch
Baltimore Orioles 🤝Me when I see spiders Closed Window
hearing Johnny Podres to the Rays, working to confirm
they're unlikely to get even a paltrow return for him
Just realized that I've played through this game twice, but never discussed this part with anyone. It's been living in a dusty file cabinet at the back of my brain that's labeled "needs closure" since I was a kid.
Replaying Ocarina of Time, got to the good part
[giants call a press conference a couple hours before the deadline] So, uh, you guys like any of these prospects? There are a lot more of them than we thought.
PENTAGON: Anyone got any ideas? @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2026/08/03/p...
if the Giants weren't going to re-sign him, the best outcome was always to send him to philly, where you will still get to experience him through the magic (?) of everyone's social media feed being 50 percent Philadelphia sports
The Phillies were shopping for a RH outfield bat. They wound up with a LH bat who will force them to rearrange their whole infield. But he's so different from the rest of their lineup. Arraez: 21 strikeouts all season Kyle Schwarber: 22 strikeouts in his last 14 games
it's just as enjoyable to skip the video and pick out a couple of screenshots. we're cooked, it's over, might as well enjoy it, helluva toboggan ride, etc
just woke up to the Jays are buying at the deadline and Pete Crow-Armstrong thinks Babe Ruth was made-up
