El-Sayed wasn't my first choice or my second choice, but he now has my full support to beat Mike Rogers in the Michigan Senate race.

McMorrow vs El-Sayed head-to-head would have been interesting
Had no idea a player could play for one team and occupy a DP slot for another.
Arman Kafai@armankafai.bsky.social · 2d agoThis is very interesting because one of SD/LAG have to take on the DP tag. SD doesn’t really have leverage in this deal since they’ve frozen out Chucky, so wonder what kind of deal they’ll have to negotiate to have LAG take on the tag. Remember Klich deal between ATL-DC. On ATL Roster, DP on DC
@myohwhy.bsky.social Who would you like to see the M's add at the deadline?
I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...

Brian Poindexter is our candidate to defeat the unwell Max Miller. Let's support him!
Brian Poindexter For Congress@poindexterforcongress.com · 3d agoNo one credibly accused of holding a gun to his wife's head and breaking their two-year-old daughter's collarbone belongs in the halls of power. Help defeat Max Miller in November. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bpx82
What if Cristian hadn't made the World Cup roster and had six weeks of rest instead? I do think the vibes would be different in this case. [I'm not suggesting Cristian should have turned down the invite.]
It sure would be nice to have some combination of Cody, Reed, Danny, and Georgi on the roster right now.
Jason Gacek@jasongacek.bsky.social · 4d agoHonestly not sure how we're going to survive the gauntlet of so many games ovet the next few weeks.

Sounder at Heart@sounderatheart.com · 4d agoA few injury updates: Arriola hurt his half, Kingston had a “dead leg”, Kalani had a tight hamstring, Kim was on a 45-minute limit but played through it, Brunell “gutted” through 90 minutes after feeling tightness, Ferreira was just cramping.
Hanauer and Waibel traded our depth for GAM and here we are. We still have the GAM. Complete incompetence. We're going to get destroyed in Leagues Cup.
The other 28 teams could have outbid the Dodgers. They didn't, and Dodgers get a steal.
No-brainer move for the M's. Now they need to acquire a bat.
Bob Nightengale@bnightengale.bsky.social · 4d agoStunning: Chicago White Sox are paying the entirety of Seattle Mariners starter Luis Castillo’s contract: $22.75 million this year and & $22.75 million next year.
Here's what's playing in prime time on an August Saturday night on cable: FS1: pickleball; ESPN: Banana Ball; ESPN2: cornhole
5 games under .500. They've got to fire Dan Wilspn. The vibes are so bad.
Echoes of 2020. The president insisted the election was stolen from him due to voter fraud. But when it came time to prove it in a court of law, where there are criminal penalties for lying, his team backed off.
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 5d ago“Trump administration drops Reflecting Pool case, blaming damage on ‘botched’ installation.” A major concession from President Trump’s team after he repeatedly claimed the problem was caused by vandals. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
This is really dire.
Niko Moreno @elrolonw.bsky.social · 5d agoMore bad news for the #Sounders on the injury front: Yeimar Gómez Andrade could be out 4-6 weeks with a calf injury per Brian Schmetzer and Hassani Dotson picked up a hamstring injury that is still being assessed. Jordan Morris & Cristian Roldan still at least 3-4 weeks out.
Let me tell you, having chronicled Pentagon-style war game on attacking Iran nearly 25 yr ago, every single "surprise," "darkening turn," "narrowing option," spreading warfare," "rising casualties," "no easy exit," etc that comes drip-by-drip is EXACTLY why GHWB WJC GWB OBAMA BiDEN did NOT do this
Glad this is happening, but MLS has been waaaaaaaaaay too slow to implement new roster rules. The current salary cap is just way too low.
Tom Bogert@tombogert.bsky.social · last wk.💰 Sources: MLS owners expected to hear presentation on significant changes to structure of roster rules, centered around a more open salary cap system Potential huge change for future of MLS. DPs would remain Reporting with @paultenorio.bsky.social Details ⬇️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/747...
Lots of empty seats at the New Jersey Red Bulls home game.
OK, we all have a love/hate relationship with the NYT, but bring the love for this one. Not just great reporting, but real courage in the face of government repression. A guaranteed Pulitzer next May

Maybe we shouldn't have traded away all of our roster depth for GAM we haven't used?
