My hope for every American who defaults to “Mind your own business, Canadian” is that they one day come to understand that all we’ve ever, ever wanted is to be able to do that.

I just hope that whatever happens in Michigan provides rich themes for the next Protomartyr album
El Mago really has it going at SS tonight for the Tigers. Even when he stinks Javy Baez is fun. And he's been great the last couple weeks.
Jake Tapper can be a good journalist when he, like, tries
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayMAX MILLER: She's 2.5 years old. She doesn't have the ability to articulate what you just said. TAPPER: But you just told me that she said she was scared to go to mommy's house. Now you're saying she's not capable of saying "Daddy kill you"? MILLER: What about due process?
The problem with baseball is not the Dodgers, it is that the Dodgers are the only team that wants to win. Mize is a top 20 starter.
Kevin D@tigerkev.bsky.social · 2d agoI’m perfectly ok with the Tigers keeping Mize if the market for him is some team’s 23rd best prospect.
The president is a rapist and a pedophile who ran teen beauty pageants and was best friends with Epstein and he’s fine with men beating their wives and he lost a war and raised all your prices and stole billions of dollars but 34% of Americans still think he’s peachy keen because they’re racist.
So hard, but recently it is Small Things Like These. I've taken to buying it for people and have given away about 10 copies.

Every week, @wtevs.bsky.social delivers such rich and thoughtful analysis of what makes basketball so special, and this week's installment of Basketball Feelings is a one of my favorites!
Having fun, losing
The generosity of space created by the Tempo, Sophie Cunningham's anti-trans fans joyriding the W's momentum, and knowing when to eye-roll hate or shout it down.

You can tell Cunningham is genuinely interested in hearing different perspectives on this topic by the way she never stops talking throughout their entire interaction

It's fitting that the people who like Sophie Cunningham are in the parking lot and fans of the sport paid to get in

"Cunningham intentionally yanked Sheldon down by her neck & was hailed as a protector. Alyssa Thomas put her fist to Clark’s throat–accidentally–& was excoriated. Cunningham, white–a flood of endorsements. Thomas, Black–a barrage of death threats" www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/a...
Sophie Cunningham isn’t rejecting politics. She’s cashing in on them
Sophie Cunningham’s rise says less about basketball than the incentives of a sports culture where outrage, identity politics and attention have become lucrative commodities

Stupid Tigers team going to make the playoffs anyway. Trade Skubal and end up with a top-5 rotation somehow if Jobe comes back. Then lose in a game 5 because the bullpen stinks. All this is going to happen.
the wnba alienating their core audience for the sake of people who wouldn’t watch a wnba game to save their child’s life is a bold gambit, to be sure
This isn't a playoff roster with Skubal. They spent three years doing jackshit to make this roster competitive so they could paint themselves into this exact corner where they have no choice but to trade him.
Let's be even louder Toronto
The Athletic@theathletic.com · 4d agoSpeaking for the first time since ralliers began assembling in support of her stance against transgender participation in women’s sports, Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said this was an opportunity for the WNBA to uphold its values of diversity and inclusion. nyti.ms/4fHr4Qn
Can't even get one of the Dodgers top 2. And Ryan is 27 years old with 47 career innings - he's only only two years younger than Skubal.
Jason Beck@jasonbeck.bsky.social · 4d agoSource confirms: Tarik Skubal is being traded to Dodgers. Tigers get OF Zyhir Hope (No. 5 prospect) and RHPs River Ryan (No. 7) and Brady Smith (No. 17).
FIRE HARRIS Awful. Not a single guy who is a big league player. No top-10 prospects. What was the point of this?
Passanthallich@passanthalbot.bsky.social · 4d ago@JonHeyman tweeted Final trade: Skubal for Zyhir Hope, River Ryan and Brady Smith 💬 @JonHeyman Breaking: Skubal to Dodgers
This was amazing last night. Kingfishr had a stop over in Toronto on the way to Montreal. Put on Instagram they wanted to play someone's house. And some dude responded. So they played in his garage which opens into the alley. I walked through the backyard, into the garage and the show started.
Chet Wydrzynski@realchet.bsky.social · 5d agoSo I'm seeing Kingfishr in a house
Harris should be fired. Rookie of the year. Best pitcher in the game. Best catcher. Another soon-to-be-ace. YET 18 games blown after the 7th inning. It was obvious in April the bullpen was the problem. Instead Harris keeps prospects hoping they will be good in 2032 for the second year in a row.
Jason Beck@jasonbeck.bsky.social · 5d agoCasey Mize’s scratch from his scheduled start tonight follows a velocity drop in his last outing that caught the attention of evaluators. Another outing might have given a chance to alleviate any concerns, but there might be enough interest regardless to not risk it. www.mlb.com/news/casey-m...
Why don't the Detroit Tigers just pay Skubal, Mize, etal what they are worth & try to build a dynasty instead of trying to get something for nothing? Mize is underpaid by a lot! They lost Skubal's arbitration by +$10mm! Tiger fans deserve much more! If you want to cheap out, Sell the Team!

Matt Armstrong@matta7.bsky.social · 6d agoRecently had to explain to a professional from outside Toronto, that the vast majority of downtown Toronto workers commute by bike, walking, or transit. Some drive, but they are the minority. Perhaps I should show them these bike share stations…
