Very excited to go to bed tonight down 2-1 going to the top of the sixth knowing we will not score another run with the last 12 outs we have available.

Elian pena went 1-4 today but did steal home as part of the two runs he scored, hit a double and had an RBI.

That’s right I can’t wait for another season of pain

I will be honest there’s a reason I built a whole separate career under my true name before I came out to my sources from my past career. The few that have bridged that divide and maintain deep professional contact I know are very highly reputable sources as nearly every casual one dropped off.

There are very few people out there who could articulate this as thoughtful as Diana did and I’m so grateful she did.

It really sucks to have to do the emotional lifting of deep canvassing to deradicalize people into justifying my own humanity.

And it sucks more I’m expected to just immediately forgive and embrace people that enabled the radicals when they realize the harm they’ve caused.

One of Dave chappelle’s punchlines was literally “I’m team TERF!”

Well bud your teammates are monsters sorry you decided to hang out with them.

Not going to lie it really sucks yelling “these jokes enable people to strip us of our humanity and you’re abetting that please listen” for years only to be told to shut up repeatedly and then those punching down on us realize they’ve associated with people who actually want to hurt us.

That’s my GUY

Yes I’ve been a mls head for a long time

No one likes saying “hey look at me I’m smart and need a job” more than me. It makes me want to peel my skin off.

But also there are few if any reporters out there right now that understands the international sport landscape the United States finds itself in over the next 8 years.

Again, this story isn’t going away!!!

Does anyone know of any agents looking for nonfiction sports book proposals or queries right now?

You’ve got to be kidding me

This has been a very good game so far so I will go to bed now and pretend the rest of it doesn’t happen when the Mets inevitably lose because Yamamoto can go 9 innings and McLean still hasn’t quite figured out the third time through the order.

Nolan McLean remains a very good pitcher in Major League Baseball I hope he is one for a long long time on the New York metropolitans baseball club

RAISED SO FAR: $0 OUR GOAL: $1,000,000

y'all don't make me regret this

On one hand the pope being the vessel in which god communicates the interpretation of the scripture for the Catholic Church to follow has two thousand years of tradition.

On the other hand later in life Catholic convert says the just war theory must be the driver of interpretation!

Leadoff hit! Promote him to Brooklyn!!

First pitch for the st lucie mets in 2 minutes btw. Pena bats leadoff for them.

unrelated elian pena is hitting .333/.400/.533 as an 18 year old in the florida state league

Adding this to every analysis I make of the Mets this season is proving to be fruitful

This will be getting so much legs this Mets season I 100% guarantee it

Jessica has been on these stories foreverrrrrrr and really deserves so many more bylines

Wild that this is happening when the U.S. is hosting the women’s World Cup in 7 years but then again despite the best chance in a generation for a rugby moon shot this country is squandering it!

They clearly want to pick and choose when they get to apply the pressure but I think you’re right. Which will be really something when it just gets renamed to “sports” and slowly cut over time.

And it would have fuckin killed

This is ultimately where I land. Also, you’re a Times’ staffer in all but name so you’re going to have to deal with 1. The palace intrigue that comes with working there and 2. The standards they force on you whether or not you’re bylined in the other section of the paper.

Wout heads are EATING this week after what he pulled off this past weekend

What happens next with regards to Vrabel and what outlet reaches out to her immediately…will be telling.

I’m sure we’ll have an “Emily green is actually making rock music worse” take soon
