Good morning!

We had a light schedule yesterday but, as always, we recap it. And today I won’t forget the Orioles game because there was no Orioles game last night.

As for the news, the A’s made the move to Sacramento official, and owner John Fisher’s announcement of that move was, predictably, embarrassing and pathetic. The uniforms continue to be bad but neither Major League Baseball nor Nike seem to give a crap. A young, budding ace is going under the knife. Alex Verdugo has been forced to rein in his bling, but I can’t really bring myself to care. It was a really random day yesterday, frankly.

In Other Stuff some fish spilled, an institution is being debased by needless corporate sponsorship, there was a big heist, and I’m actually starting to get worried about the mental health of right wing reactionary culture warriors.
