So the dickhead influenced the dickhead to reconsider the dickhead.

George Takei reposting the awfulness currently happening

A friend texted to tell me I went viral on Twitter AND Facebook. Two of my least favorite places

If they’re dumb enough to listen to him then so be it. The tragedy is in the vulnerable population who can’t get vaccinated and rely upon everyone else being vaccinated for their safety.

80m as it stands now. Anyone interested in sports and integrated AI summaries, still goes there for scores and more in-depth summaries.

The sooner @bsky.app adds those features, the more users twitter loses, lowering the number of users @bsky.app needs to supplant Twitter as the first app opened

Yeah this not it

I could have guessed 20 times and not gotten this.

Swoboda better.

Orioles can afford to be patient. They’ll get the WC in a weak AL and get a starter at the deadline. SD bleeding money. They need to move Cease now.

Jonathan Niese

One year rental for a guy with a career 3.75 ERA. SD needs to be realistic.

Mike, what are the chances he returns?

Followed all of them.

Pitino really cementing his legacy.

What city did you see them? I saw that show In Pittsburgh. All three were great.

Victor Wembanyama blocks shot without leaving his feet and palms the ball, Hornets announcers lose their minds.

It will be a day long remembered…

Peteyyyyy

Pete is back!!!

Face saving deal. Essentially $30 million this year when the signing bonus factored in.

Player option for net year. That’s when he should have looked for free agency with Vladdy also coming out and teams saving their wad for him with Pete as the fallback option.

Can’t wait for the game when Lindor, Soto and Alonso hit back to back to back home runs

WOOHOO #LFGM

He told his side already. We rightfully concluded he’s a dickhead and should never be allowed at another game.

Boras gives Heyman the text and Heyman forwards it almost word for word. You can see the Boras insecurity seeping through.

Awesome.

The Mets haven’t pulled any offer. The owner, the owners’ wife, and Stearns all said the same thing. “We hope he comes back”. That’s not what you say when you pull the offer.

They’ll sign him. Neither side has better options.

"We've made a significant offer to Pete, and what David said is correct: he's entitled to go out and explore his market, and that's what he's doing. Personally, this has been an exhausting conversation and negotiation. I mean, Soto was tough. This is worse, okay? And a lot of it is, we've made a significant...I don't like the structures that are being presented back to us. I think they are highly asymmetric against us. And I feel strongly about it. I will never say 'no', you know, there's always the possibility...but the reality is we're moving forward, and we continue to bring in players. As we continue to bring in players, reality is, you know, it becomes harder to fit Pete in what is a very expensive group of players that we already have, and that's where we are, and I'm being brutally honest. I don't like the negotiations. I don't like what's been presented to us. And you know listen maybe that changes and certainly I'll always stay flexible. If it stays this way, we'll have to get used to the fact that we may have to go forward with the existing players that we have."

The full text of what Steve Cohen said about the Pete Alonso negotiations:

Cohen doesn’t like something about the structure of the Alonso demand. Can’t believe no one has an inkling of what that might be.

"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
