Comebacks and great catches, Manfred scapegoating Oakland, Verlander coming back, Tucker Carlson is unemployed, and I talk about "The Phantom Menace," Wes Anderson, Scottish islands, and my colon
The streaking Pirates, two homers in an inning, an old rookie, unnecessary definite articles, nervous flying, gambling suspensions, the name of a fan club I’m in, and the genius of Elon Musk
Mookie and Fernando make changes, Mad Max gets suspended, MadBum gets the boot, Liam Hendriks gets great news, I get nostalgic, and I lost my blue check, but at least my rocket ship didn't explode
The Las Vegas A's, Scherzer gets the boot, MadBum gets the Red Ass, Manfred does Manfred things, NBC's union-busting, and I write too few words about Rickey and a LOT of words about Twitter
Kershaw wins his 200th, an ill-advised Marlins promotion is thankfully scuttled, another "Field of Dreams" take, the Dominion-Fox News settlement, my car’s odometer and DeSantis vs. The Mouse
A contract extension, some new City Connect uniforms, imminently striking stadium workers, Anthony Bass being an ass, "Picard," Tucker Carlson, and what it must feel like to be a spy
A callup, an injury, a contract extension, possums in the press box, an immature jackwagon, kids, the true nature of the right's anti-trans terror campaign, and a couple of days in New York

The Dong Bong, Dog Fister, an old man injury, Evan Gattis: unfiltered, Musk's pettiness, zombifying your dead parents, Brentford in America, and The King of the Delta Blues.
The Rays Rampage, a young star with a major injury, writing Willy Adames into a Victorian novel, an improbable no-no, quad-A Adell, Popovich, Nazi merch, and a Minnesota Meetup
Rainouts, a rare Coors Field pitcher's duel, the bad patch, pathetic smack talk, sponsored clocks, a disgrace in Tennessee, more like Corrupt Thomas, amirite, and why sportswriters love Jason Isbell
