Turns out the #Mets faced the heart of the #Rockies rotation last weekend. The 3 Colorado starters had a combined record of 3-21, yes, but their starters these next 3 nights vs the #SFGiants are 2-22.

Yet another sign the apocalypse is upon us: POTUS names Jeanine Pirro top DC federal prosecutor.

Dear America, We're not booing your hockey players. We're not booing your country. We're not even booing you. We're booing your asshole of a president who keeps threatening our sovereignty for zero reason. Once he leaves us alone it'll stop. Hope that clears it up for you.

Washington rushed for 7 touchdowns to beat Chicago 73-0 in the 1940 NFL title game. That was the last time a team ran for 7 TDs in a title game … until today, the #Eagles running for 7 in a 55-23 win over Washington, 3 each by Barkley and Hurts.

PSA for Democrats: Stop clutching your pearls about Biden’s pardons. Condemn Trump’s pardons of angry rioters who trashed the Capitol like a motel room after a concert and assaulted police. Defend Biden’s pardons for innocent people Trump threatened to prosecute. It’s not hard.
Replying to @mkraju
Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine told me he's "very disappointed" in outgoing Biden's preemptive pardons for his family members because "I think it's harder to make a critique, to stand on the high ground and make a critique of the Trump pardons on January 6 when President Biden is pardoning family members.”

Neo-Nazi, white supremacist and violent rightist fringe groups are amplifying and celebrating Musk's Nazi salute from last night. Combined with yesterday's pardoning of hundreds of rioters, the last 24 hours have been a gift to those who trade in political violence.

According to my Sunday paper, the Tampa Bay Bucs are playing twice today. At the same time.

.@aliciakeys is a 16-time Grammy winner — and now, the original cast of @HellsKitchenBwy is nominated for one, too. @gayleking brought Keys back to the superstar’s New York City alma mater to meet with the music teacher who inspired her as a student and a character in her Broadway musical. Some current students get a special surprise too.

The same newspaper—The Daily Mirror, in London—came up with a similarly pointed headline after George W Bush beat John Kerry for the Presidency in 2004…

If the roles had been reversed, Felix would have told the umpire that he hit the ball twice, and to give the point to Draper.
Recyclable: Felix is such a gem. Handled a horrendous situation in the heat of the moment with incredible maturity.

Imagine having a self esteem so thin and leaky that you have to constantly gin up preposterously laughable triumphs you could never sell anywhere but at the courses you own. What's next? You win the gold medal? It's all just so pathetic. #CommanderInCheat

So how completely dreadful are the White Sox? They’ve lost 20 straight (3 shy of the modern MLB record, set by the 1961 Phillies), they’re on pace to lose an MLB record 124 games, and they’re 14 1/2 games behind the Rockies. The ROCKIES. #WhiteSox

21-year old 3B Sabin Ceballos, acquired by the #SFGiants in the Jorge Soler trade w/Atlanta, made his organizational debut w/SF last night for high-A Eugene, w/4 hits—a single, two doubles, a HR and 3RBIs. He’s 6-3, 225, from Puerto Rico.

I think it’s important to remind my fellow Americans that Trump is a fascist running a campaign promising retribution and revenge, on the premise that he has unlimited power and democracy is a threat to American freedom.

Folks, Donald Trump is still Donald Trump. He will still do everything he can, including inciting violence, to steal the election if he loses. We watched him try it in 2020. Nothing has changed.
