I know half (literally) the lineup is injured, but wasting that Scherzer start fucking sucks.

Hoffman had actually been quite good until the mess in Milwaukee!

But, holy hell the last week has been unwatchable.

I can't believe he never went on the IL during this mess.

That one was worth the risk, IMO.

Me, when it's time to cheer hard for Nikita Kucherov.

No, just lost at the plate. Not challenging called strikes several inches below the zone.

Kazuma Okamoto is the one Blue Jay I'm actually concerned about.

Looks brutal right now.

If only Brooklyn still had a team

I spend my birthday differently than I used to.

41 was ice cream and a walk with my kids and their friends.

Surely there's a transit station near Kauffman Stadium (if you walk through several massive parking lots and under multiple elevated highways).

Robert Covington.

The dream of "Tyler Dellow Toronto Maple Leafs GM" is still alive.

About the most frustrating inning possible. Unfucking real.

It’s literally this joke from Parks and Rec

Yeah, maybe he gets all the Bailao/Furey voters and makes it close. Just seems like an odd horse to bet on for the reasons you've outlined.

I'm not in the thick of Toronto politics, but I still can't believe the best the people who want Chow gone can come up with is a dude who got fewer votes than Chris Sky in 2023.

Varland is an awesome weapon in the bullpen if you aren't committed to using him in the 9th.

But, you have to at least consider changing roles here.

Okay, that one is on Hoffman.

Yup. With Vlad up, no less.

You know who used to play for the Bruins?

Glen Murray.

Your eight hitter burning your last challenge in the third inning seems bad!

I wore jeans on my walk home and felt gross. Shorts weather!

To be clear, the people who will reply to women working in sports journalism with "you're just another Dianna Russini" are complete and total assholes. Scummy.

I'm just annoyed that they'll have this club in their bag for awhile.

Yeah, she's married, as is Vrabel.

My theory is the PI was hired by Vrabel's wife.

(According to TMZ, they were shopped the photos and told they were of Vrabel and an unknown woman.)

Mike Vrabel also did something shitty - but the difference here is, to my knowledge, there really isn't anything in the football coach code of ethics about what crosses the line in a relationship with a reporter.

For journalism, however... those rules are absolutely in place.

I generally agree that she was probably cooked either way, but "I was on a girls trip" treated both her bosses and her audience like they were morons.

Is this fair? No!

Does anyone else to answer for this? No!

But, it is a pretty lousy outcome.

Dianna Russini put credibility of all women in sports at risk | Opinion The Athletic's Dianna Russini was photographed holding hands with Patriots coach Mike Vrabel. The photos are problematic for all women in sports.

Key thing: Russini wasn't just risking her own credibility - people who had nothing to do with this mess are going to get hurt, too.
