It's 2 am. You hear a knock at the front door. You look at your Ring camera. There is a 4 foot tall alien standing there. What do you do?

@BBGreatMoments Randy Johnson. Clemens won in 2004 but Randy was better. Carpenter stole Clemens award in 2005. Only fair.

Albert Pujols said he rejected a $315M offer before signing a contract with the Angels in 2011. The team who made the offer, which he didn't reveal, is an hour and forty minutes from the Dominican Republic, he said. (Via: @Matiasgarciard)

@D1SCHER He got a few prospects from the Red Sox for Luis Garcia. One who is still in the pen, Garcia gave the Red Sox next to nothing

Honestly the more I dig into it Perry Minasian is easily the worst GM we’ve had in my lifetime as an angels fan Arte hand ties these guys - that’s no surprise But Eppler and Dipoto both at least made a few competent moves per year What moves has Perry made that scream “good”

@BBGreatMoments I’d cut Pedro. He was a much better pitcher than Ryan in his prime. But I have zero confidence he could handle a 4 man rotation. 40 starts a year, 300 innings? Pedro never came anywhere close to that kind of workload

You’re building a four-man pitching rotation, everyone in their prime. Who do you cut?

Elon Musk just reduced American crime politics to a single question on Joe Rogan. And answered it like it was arithmetic. Musk: “While obviously not everyone who’s a Democrat is a criminal, almost everyone who is a criminal is a Democrat.” That’s not a partisan attack. That’s an observation about how incentives work. If you’re a criminal, you don’t vote for the party promising longer sentences and more cops. You vote for the one gutting bail laws and calling enforcement racist. This isn’t opinion. This is game theory. Musk: “Because the Democrats are the soft-on-crime party. So if you’re a criminal, who are you gonna vote for?” Nobody wants to follow that logic to its conclusion. But the math doesn’t care. The softness isn’t accidental. It’s architectural. No-cash bail. Decriminalized theft. Sanctuary cities. Defund the police. These aren’t compassion. They’re infrastructure. Every policy that removes consequences builds a constituency that needs them to stay gone. That’s not ideology. That’s customer acquisition. You don’t protect criminals because you care about them. You protect them because they show up in November. The people paying the price are never the ones writing the policy. It’s the working-class neighborhoods getting hollowed out. The immigrant families who played by the rules watching the system reward the ones who broke them. The small business owners boarding up windows because the DA won’t prosecute. They’ll spend the next week calling Musk reckless for this. But he didn’t build the incentive structure. He just described it. And that’s what they’ll never forgive.

After tonight’s game Paul Skenes has a 1.98 ERA. 2024 1.96 2025 1.97 2026 1.98 Obviously in decline. But at this rate he’ll still be a fine pitcher in 2126.

@S_U_Network I’ll take Thunder. 3 point line was there even if Boston rarely used it. Question to me is how long would take for Bird and Ainge to realize they need to launch 15 per game to have a chance?

@VinnysCorner1 Oscar Charleston. On the assumption that someone magically produces video highlights from his career. Which is exactly as likely as someone paying me 5 million to watch them.
