I know crossword constructors are on the edge of their seats, because clues about Adlai E. Stevenson are not really workable at this point.

Trading Alec Bohm and some prospects for an outfielder can still happen if Dave Dombrowski has the courage.
It depends on who wins in 2028 I think. All the maddening rule by executive fiat stuff either gets encased in amber or it gets torn up with not much to show for it.

“all credit to the big guy upstairs”

Going to the Phillies game tonight and they’re letting me play shortstop
I have let's say more than the normal level of interest in the cinematic medium, so it's a little disconcerting for me to just have basically no feel for this one. Caught me by surprise that it was opening, even. No idea what it's about, who's the bad guy, who wrote it, who directed it, etc.

Guy Who Hates The New Plan Says All The Right Things Nevertheless
Colin Newby@tonewbyginnings.bsky.social · 2d agoHow are Bryson Stott & Alec Bohm feeling about Bryce Harper and the shuffle on defense? “It should be not lost that our superstar first baseman, two-time MVP is willing to move… What are we going to say? ‘No. We’re not moving.’” -Bryson Stott
If the deadline comes and goes and Bohm hasn't been magically transmuted into an outfielder of some sort it's going to be a rough couple of months defensively.

He donates his salary to the troops, so I doubt he owes any taxes to the IRS anyway.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d agoFLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

The GOP senators who are up for reelection in 2028 are going to start finding small ways to put some daylight between themselves and the president.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoSen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."
Regal is selling IMAX 70mm tickets to THE ODYSSEY through September 16, but as far as I can tell there are no available seats close to the middle that are farther back than the second row at any screening, in the ninth week of its release.
Weirdest six innings from Cris Sanchez I think I've seen. Good job? 🔔

I don't really get mad at baseball but the Phillies are getting me pretty mad these days.
