Nice standing ovation for Luis Arraez from Phillies fans in his 1st AB.
This will get a fraction of the attention that Zohran Mamdani got for calling Netanyahu a war criminal.
Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · 23h agoDepicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.
FWIW— @mikeferrin.bsky.social on MLB Network Radio thinks the Giants “crushed” the deadline. He really loves the Erik Miller for Marcelo Mayer deal.
What’s the latest trade? I hate it. Too many prospects for that veteran.
In the real world, rents just reached historic highs in San Francisco & $$ for new construction is held back by this asshole’s tariffs & high interest rates.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoHassett: "One of the metrics of shelter costs that I find most interesting is that they're going down pretty rapidly in places like California because everybody is leaving. Even though there are high prices in California, it puts downward pressure on inflation because everybody is leaving the state"
Are they Phillies trading Bryson Stott? Moving Stott to 3B & dumping Bohm? Where is Luis Arraez going to play?
Every American Jew of his age who had a b’nai mitzah owns Israeli bonds given as a gift by grandparents
the abbot of unreason (an archaeologist)@merovingians.bsky.social · 3d agowell that's going to complicate things, but it gives him a really easy PR win with the base
My 22-year-old daughter just now: "Why would you change the pitcher to face Willy Adames? Just throw offspeed, offspeed, high strike and he'll strike out." Yup.
Nobody wants to hear about how Dodgers fans suffered under Frank McCourt’s ownership. NOBODY.
I’m at intermission of a dance performance & my phone was vibrating non-stop in the first act. I really thought He died. Instead, it’s this f’ing bullshit.
I’m not even a Phillies fan but I’m already stressed about their bullpen in the postseason.
"And the Giants have won again," says Jon Miller, with a tone of disbelief
Pete Crow-Armstrong should be a lock for National League MVP.
Really hope that Pirates are for real because it would be fun as hell to watch Skenes pitch in the postseason.
Ross Douthat passing a charisma test for 60 Minutes has obliterated my imposter syndrome
I’m not even a Phillies fan but I’m already stressed about their bullpen in the postseason.
I don’t like it anymore than you do but Trea Turner has the yips.
Jeff Kent getting inducted in a Hall of Fame that doesn’t include Barry Bonds is absurd.
Today & every day: F the Dodgers. What a kick in the teeth to Los Angeles, its immigrant communities & all communities of color. sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/...
Dodgers present President Trump with World Series ring during return to White House
The Los Angeles Dodgers made a repeat visit to the White House on Thursday, with a gift in hand.

There is no rock bottom for the Giants. It can get worse. It will get worse.
Tough home loss for the Valkyries against a spirited Mystics team. The winning streak was going to end eventually but the V’s had a 7-point lead with 3 minutes to go. They need to All-Star break rest.
@mingemi.bsky.social Nakase just played Burton & Chen together. Was that the 1st time all season?
