If Houston's title is allegedly in question, so is theirs, and they want to another to put it down.
A short season and a tournament-style playoff is its own thing entirely. I don't want to hear it.
I don't say Los Angeles wasn't the best team last season. I say last season is anomalous across the board.
Anyway, don't complain to me. They want to win it in 162 and shut everybody up. They should want that.

He is calm, witty, and he knows his baseball. He’s absolutely himself. You can’t teach that. If they don’t throw money at a young black Phillies fan who’s a natural broadcaster, they’re nuts.
The kid's name is Josh Scott. He is there because he and his father, huge Phillies fans, caught a Freddie Freeman home run in Atlanta and gave the ball to a Braves fan. They live in North Carolina. But the Phillies really ought to work something out.
Not in a novelty way. I'm serious. The kid talks baseball better than anyone in the television booth.

I have not seen the series. But Bobby was the coldest man I ever met. Mrs. Longworth said he should have been a Jesuit in the 15th century, burning witches. I agree. He was not the best politician of the Kennedy brothers. That was Teddy. But he was the most effective.
Lyndon Johnson was afraid of Bobby. Johnson wasn't afraid of anybody.
I don't mean to say Bobby was cold in the sense of defect, either. He was cold as only one who knows the world can be. He knew Shakespeare, he knew the Greeks. He understood the world is dark and complicated and you need coldness to survive.

Regarding Milley and January 6, it disturbs me for a number of reasons beyond the obvious. First, this is not just the military sounding the alarm about what happened, but what is going to happen. Fully two-thirds of Southern Republicans want to secede, for God's sake.
I understand why they sat on it. They dodged the bullet, and to say more at the time would have looked like a military coup. But the military was in a nearly untenable position, and they see conditions developing that will easily put them back there, or worse.
Equally disturbing is it won't amount to much. Four years of "Reichstag" this, "death squads" that. People are tired. They reassure themselves with "the former guy" and all that stuff. But this is actually serious in the way so many people pretended other things were.

There’s a lot of humbug garbage in here about Springer being nice to this girl to “redeem” himself and so forth, but my God, years ago he volunteered to wear a microphone to help stutterers have courage. Get hold of yourselves.
Signs are stolen in baseball every single day. By players and teams you like. Don't get caught, and don't use cameras. What Houston did was wrong. The people who brought the cameras in should get the worst of it. It's wrong they got a slap on the wrist.
But all this chest-beating about stolen signs like it's never happened before or merits the death penalty is tiresome.

Anyway, Bauer has “blocked” our messages for years. As I recall I merely said he’s not the brilliant misunderstood character the press would have. That’s Steve Carlton, who might be off-putting but he’s not cruel. You get the sense his brain is too big. Bauer is an asshole.
And that’s fine, to the point nobody draws blood. The world is full of assholes. Just don’t try to dress one up as Socrates to sell papers.
If Bauer is not suspended by this afternoon, Manfred is trying to divide the union.

Nola. My God.
This is a reference to Aaron Nola tying Tom Seaver’s record of ten consecutive strikeouts. - RZ
Ten consecutive strikeouts is not quite the DiMaggio streak or Ryan’s records, which will never fall, but it is close.
