Oddly, Espada seemed more pissed at replay about the 10th call, though I suspect that’s probably because we all knew that was the game. So, may as well let it all out.

I honestly don’t remember, I was so pissed and rage texting at that moment. But it’s the one in the 8th that I actually dispute. I don’t think that should’ve been enough to overturn

absolutely insane

People are no longer saying this

Nice and why

Also, on the "watch how the parties are handling it" line: Abbott is on the record sounding alarm bells (in a fundraiser at Tilman's house, lol). Paxton is begging for money and just switched up his talking points to be kitchen table issues and significantly less culture war slop. Signs are there!

That’s fine, just say that. You don’t have to lie about the previous polling and give credibility to RW propaganda

Agree, in this case I think the author is just trying to do a classic bothsidesism for "centrist" narrative purposes. Super transparent

It's funny because I knew her very well, thanks to her relatively anonymous Mizzou days. She is a good, winning player! But yeah. Making her the centerpiece of your "I demand [insert changes here] to the league" campaign is saying the quiet parts out loud in a way that isn't as egregious with Clark

I can bitch about Newsmax all day, but I was never a potential customer of theirs in the first place, so I'm pretty sure they won't care or cater to my desires. Fairly simple equation

Anybody arguing that Sophie is the gateway to WNBA fandom is beyond unserious. That's like saying Dean Wade is gonna bring in a new NBA audience. The "audience" here is people who want a culture war prop. So, why should the W care, when they're telegraphing that they won't consume the product?

Also, the inclusion of Clark feels like a real stretch. Forcing it to fit a desired narrative. From everything I could tell, the blowback there was significantly less and generally confined to RW grift carnival acts (Megyn Kelly, Matt Walsh, etc.) who aren't WNBA customers in the first place

#StickToSports was and is dumb, but “Don’t #StickToSports and you get to say anything to anyone and nobody can criticize you” might be even dumber

“Why can’t this millionaire celeb with massive societal influence simply share his/her opinion and be left alone, as if they were an anonymous Kroger checker?” — very serious people

Genuinely wondering if after all this time, that sore loser has a single shred of data to prove that any "cheating" affected anything. If she does, I'd love to see it www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

People underestimate the extent to which Twitter’s decline was/is correlated with Elon’s decisions on various tools. This wasn’t meant to be a bubble, just a better user experience

It's such a weird (and losing) obsession, IMO. With the immigration and DEI stuff, the playbook is transparent. It's about turning around and blaming *those people* for many of the middle class struggles. Inaccurate, but I understand what they're trying to do. This has no connection to anyone!

My man has to let that ankle tendon breathe

Anyway, it's probably a good thing that 3 months before the election, their preferred talking point is an insane fantasy world scenario that affects almost no one and would never happen in a million years. I'm sure the people struggling with kitchen table issues care very deeply about this

... for guys in their 30s don't age well. And Crane won 2 more pennants and a WS after letting George walk. So I get it. I just think a segment of fans, especially in the peak scandal years, framed everything as "with us or against us." And I hated folks using that to diminish George's legacy here
