that was really a terrible call. Gotta be pretty darn sure he went to end the game that way and it wasn't even close.

imagine if we lived in a society where everyone just did exactly what the government said. That'd be . . . pretty weird, and a lot more dystopian than some expected—and, tbh, reasonable—vaccine skepticism.

all the people who put Kobe in the Jordan/LeBron tier would be banned from social media
CENSORED: Don Lemon ended the handoff by calling on social media companies to regulate opinions on their platforms. "What is put on your platform, at the very least, should be true. Let's start there." After pushing back on that idea, Cuomo called for social media to out users.
four reasons why I'm giving Preller one more year to get it right: --he's generally acquired a lot of talented players --he's gotten ownership to spend money --another complete organizational reset is undesirable --I'm stubborn

admittedly, though, all the other stuff--the lack of consistent success, the managerial misfires, the current state of the farm/player development, this season's collapse, etc.--warrants hot seat status entering 2022

the most likely ramifications from this: a) nothing b) stricter tax laws for the working class
A massive trove of private financial records shared with The Washington Post exposes vast reaches of the secretive offshore system used to hide billions of dollars from tax authorities, creditors, criminal investigators and citizens around the world. wapo.st/3uBBWY5

good stuff from HJ. I think the cheapest and easiest way to improve in 2022 is by hiring a new/experienced manager and giving that person a lot of control in all things managing. Still a lot of work to do after that, but it's something.

in general, I think as much of the focus has to be on improving internally--new managing, new coaching, better use of analytics, better injury diagnosis, etc.--than just on new players.

since the trade deadline, the Padres have had three four-game losing streaks and three five-game losing streaks. That's hard to do.

this loss doesn't mean anything to me, I'm just trying to wrap my head around the Giants flirting with 110 wins and the Padres finishing under .500.

if you look at the Giants roster without looking at the stats, it still doesn't really look like a good team. Somehow they found the right formula.

the Pagan-Edward Mujica comp was always a pretty good one, I guess

went to a local card show last weekend. Struck out looking for a Tatis rookie (Topps Chrome refractor) but made what I thought was a very fair trade for these cards

gave up a Mahomes RC, a couple other cards, and some cash. I think it was the first trade I've ever made with a dealer
what did Bill Gates say now??
Is there a term for people who are really successful in one field and also assume they are experts in many other fields? In which they have no particular training or expertise?
