Year three…. With the SAME series?! AND a microphone?! Been a while since I could say that. Thanks for taking a chance, @HighLimitRacing. ‘26 is rolling & we still got 2 races left in the opening swing. 📸: @JoshJames81 & @CHibmaMEDIA

When asked directly about his contract extension talks and whether he expects to hit free agency after this season, Freddy Peralta simply smiled and said, “No comment.” Via @AnthonyDiComo

"The day after we had pitched a game, it was our duty to stand at the gate and afterwards to count the tickets. I remember counting 30,000 tickets one day at the Polo Grounds in New York." 'Kid' Nichols. The end of Polo Grounds started in 1961 when the New York City administration wanted to claim the area. At the last baseball game on September 18,1963, only 1,752 fans attended it. The stadium was officially closed on December 13, 1963, and demolition began on April 10, 1964. The demolition workers wore New York Giants’ jerseys. And all I see is the Willie Mays catch!

@NYM_News They’ve made going to games unaffordable. Parking should be free. It’s a scam. I’m coming to an event spending $ on tickets & food & memorabilia. Where does the parking & go. Do they have a valet service for $50

Parking at Citi Field is back to $50 on gameday, but $40 if you pre-pay. Pre-paying also guarantees a spot, which matters a lot this year with fewer spaces available due to Metropolitan Park construction. #Mets are pushing fans toward mass transit. If you’re driving, pre-pay.

@luddit3 @CynicalPublius Biden wasn’t even alive during his administration He didn’t grow any jobs. The jobs came back from the plandemic that was a fraud to crash the economy to get rid of Trump. Then they had a fraudulent election to finish the job. Bet you took several shots too

@CynicalPublius Who believes this slop? Jobs have gone down over the past two years while Biden grew them during his administration.

I grew up in Bruce Springsteen's hometown. His song "My Hometown" is LITERALLY about my hometown. Springsteen’s music was the anthem of my teenage years. The town is called Freehold, New Jersey. A. & M. Karagheusian, Inc. was a giant carpet mill in Freehold that was once the town’s single biggest employer. It shut down and moved away in 1964. That act of taking away a town’s jobs to move them to where labor was vastly cheaper DEVASTATED that community. Freehold became impoverished and almost a ghost town, taking decades to recover. All of the themes in Bruce’s early work about the indignities heaped upon the working man stem directly from the pain he, his family and his neighbors experienced when that carpet mill moved away to chase cheaper labor costs elsewhere. The theme of the betrayed working man streams across all of his early albums with a heartfelt sincerity that was borne of painful experience. The albums “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” “The River,” and “Nebraska” in particular resonate with the mournful howls of the betrayed laborer whose calloused hands meant nothing to the bosses who had thanklessly reaped the rewards of his pain and sweat. Early on, Bruce really and truly did speak for the working man. But somewhere in Hollywood he lost his way. Now, it’s 2026 and the singular domestic agenda of President Donald J. Trump is to bring back American manufacturing jobs from offshore and to restore the dignity, pride and wealth of the working everyman. And Bruce SPITS ON THAT to appeal to his Hollywood cronies. When you understand this background about Bruce, his behavior comes into sharp focus as perhaps the very most disgusting behavior of any pop star alive in America today. He has betrayed the everyman he once championed. SHAME ON YOU BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. The young man who once wrote these lyrics would find you disgusting: "Early in the morning, factory whistle blows Man rises from bed and puts on his clothes Man takes his lunch, walks out in the morning light It's the working, the working, just the working life Through the mansions of fear, through the mansions of pain I see my daddy walking through them factory gates in the rain Factory takes his hearing, factory gives him life The working, the working, just the working life End of the day, factory whistle cries Men walk through these gates with death in their eyes And you just better believe, boy, somebody's gonna get hurt tonight It's the working, the working, just the working life 'Cause it's the working, the working, just the working life"
Mark Hemingway@Heminator

Springsteen is the youngest person on this bill — he’s 76. Sanders is the second youngest. He’s 84.

@PioneerWoman97 Had blue check for few months with the minimum payment. The main reason I did blue check was so I could post longer content & I couldn’t unless I paid more so I said F them & no more blue check. This is me. I don’t need anyone to verify it. Some of my followers personally know me

@TeamKFBfan8 @playball8000 @NASCAR @TooToughToTame Blackouts are bullshit I live 4 hours from Atlanta 6 hours from DC 8 hours from Cincinnati Can’t watch those games. Like I can just travel there? Blackouts are to encourage attendance I’m paying to watch the games!? This is insanity

When Lee Mazzilli made his MLB debut in 1976, I was an instant fan. Little did I know that the kid from Brooklyn would be the main reason I survived the Seaver trade in 1977. Rooting for him was the main reason I got through the Grant's Tomb years. Years later, I was sitting in the picnic bleachers at Shea when he was in town playing for the Pirates. He threw me a ball, and it was the first and last time that ever happened. I was overjoyed when the Mets traded for Lee in 1986, and even more pleased when he was a factor in the team's eventual World Series win. In 2001, I got my first national column assignment at AP, entitled Safe at Home, in which I wrote about the challenges of playing in one's hometown. I was at Yankee Stadium and got the chance to interview Lee Mazzilli in the clubhouse. He was great and spent more time with me than I asked for. So Happy Birthday Lee, and I hope you have a great day!

PROJECTION 🚨 Although us Mets fans are excited about Luis Robert Jr., not a single major projection model has him posting an OPS above .730 That means if he’s going to have a truly impactful year in Queens, he’ll need to significantly outperform the projections and prove the models wrong.

@strup2823 @TeamKFBfan8 @NASCAR @TooToughToTame Just ask your search engine where to find free sports online. The ones that are bogus you'll recognize after a try or two and the ones that are legitimate you stick with. There's tons of them.

@strup2823 I really need to get my streaming in order. I get all the Pittsburgh sports so I've kind of settled for that. The baseball package had too many blackouts. I have to have NASCAR.
