Without telling me his full name - his number, his nickname, or the team he's played for, try to describe me who you're all-time favourite baseball player is.
English
Acronyms are pronounced as words.
-scuba
-laser
-NASA
Initialisms are pronounced as individual letters.
-NFL
-TSA
-TGIF
'Acronym' is frequently used for both kinds of abbreviations, so it's ok to call an initialism an acronym.
English
We define both ‘couldn’t care less’ and ‘could care less’ as “used to indicate that one is not at all concerned about or interested in something.”
We don’t do this to cause you pain.
We do it bc one is simply a variant of the other, and they are used in a synonymous manner.

One of my biggest pet peeves: People who say “could care less.” If you could care less, you care. *couldn’t care less*

Has anyone tried this strategy for Quordle?

I’ve cracked wordle If you play STAIR, LEMON, then PUDGY you optimize your letter usage among 15 of the most common letters with no repeats After that, you always have enough information to correctly guess the word on the fourth turn

@KeHuyQuan007 You're meaning the newer versions in the timeline to which Marty returned. Maybe they do! We don't spend a lot of time with them.

@mulaney Go Tasmanian Devil on them, John. Mind your hip, though.

@EliMcCann Perhaps sneak in the cover of the song by The Smashing Pumpkins; see if they notice.

My husband has decided our baby's favorite song is Landslide by Fleetwood Mac so he plays it on a constant loop in our house all day and I guess I'm just glad the baby is not a Katy Perry fan.

@emmafwatson Wait until they lose to Purdue next weekend!
English
respectfully, if going 11-1 and your only loss being to the No. 2 team in the country in the hardest place to play does not warrant a playoff spot in an EXPANDED PLAYOFF, then this sport is washed.
English
I see people saying that the Dodgers/Yankees series will get great TV ratings. Is that your belief? Because I'm skeptical. Put the two hardest teams in baseball to root for head to head, you really think that will draw big numbers?
English
Pete should go into the Hall of Fame. As a great baseball person reminded me, he was given a lifetime suspension. So he has satisfied the terms of his ban.

Pete Rose, hit king, RIP. 83.

@JPosnanski Dikembe Mutombo deserved one first. Rose can trample off.

@JPosnanski This better be about Mutombo and not that assclown who couldn't follow the ONE rule, continued to lie about it, and was a joke thereafter.

@greg16676935420 Find where I can grab some root beer on that continent.

Politically tonight would be the best day for President Biden to announce he is withdrawing from the Presidential race.
Here's why.
It would take all the attention away from Trump as he accepts the GOP nomination tonight.
After he announces make Harris available to the media.
English
@JPosnanski I'm curious what the total WAR/WAA was at that point in careers for each All Star lineup you listed.
English
As we sit in the hours between last night’s Home Run Derby and tonight’s All-Star Game, the lull in baseball’s star power grows more apparent. open.substack.com/pub/joeposnans…
English
An astonishing number of people are apparently incapable of finding any meaning in the words "best player" except "highest career WAR.'
English
I was skeptical of Bobby Witt Jr. for a time, because I think it is best to wait until players with unlimited ability actually perform before you get too excited. But I think all the cards are on the table now. It's just George and Bobby, best Royals ever.

@PurdueBaseball @Caskenette_ I have the ball if he wants it.

@JayCuda Did you notice Edey playing perhaps too timid on defense? Not contesting shots? Also, Purdue as a team doesn't foul. It's by design.
