I am begging you not to believe gazillionaire baseball owners when they tell you Skubal going to the Dodgers means we need a salary cap. Competitive balance is not the reason they want a salary cap.
They just want to spend less, and with more predictability, on total payroll. That is all.

Remember, MLB wants you to be mad at the Dodgers for getting all the good players so you'll support a lockout and a salary cap that only benefits the owners of clubs that didn't want to pay the money YOU spend on baseball for players to play on YOUR team

Any other designers using Harvest get an email today that their monthly fees are going up more than 900%!?!?
They want to charge $123.96 per month for a service that I was paying $12.79.
For a time tracker!

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

The President is threatening genocide and possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran.
It’s clear the President has continued to decline and is not fit to lead. The members of his Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment immediately.

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

Trump said we “can’t take care of daycare” because “we’re fighting wars.”
Hello? The $200B he wants for his war could provide every child in the country with a free school lunch for a year & have $170 billion to spare.
Trump can help people here at home — he’s just choosing not to.

Sorry but how much better would baseball be if Paul Skenes was on a contender during his prime? Put him on the blue jays or the Phillies or something. I don’t care.

I love celebrating athletes like Johannes Klæbo who are at the top of their sport. But I wish the announcers would stop erasing the female athletes. Marit Bjørgen is still the most decorated winter Olympian of all time. And in the same sport!
