@DougWahl1 I cancelled my long-term subscriptions to the NYT & WaPo because of it!

Watching the Republicans question Jack Smith in that hearing makes me expect to see an actual kangaroo hopping around.

THIS is what a real leader sounds like!

Nicely done @RepSwalwell. We all believe Jack Smith is a man of honor too. The Republicans who were involved in January 6th are hypocrites who dishonor their oath every day. Thank you. 🇺🇸

I watched Trump's entire Davos speech last night. It was the most cringeworthy, embarrassing, self-aggrandizing speech he has ever given. Two things were clear. 1. He knows people don't admire him and he can't control it. 2. He clearly has had a stroke and they are hiding it.

@dpk2200 @iJordanMoore Touché. (Except for that stike-out rate!)

@pab2 @iJordanMoore Not really an apples to apples comparison Pat…. Now do devers numbers vs bregmans post trade.

2025: — Red Sox sign Alex Bregman without telling Rafael Devers — Devers gets upset — Both parties hate each other — Red Sox trade Devers — Red Sox don’t extend Bregman 2026: — No Bregman — No Devers Masterclass plan, Craig Breslow.

WOW! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE BOARD OF PEACE!

@emptywheel Yes. Yes they are...

Tricia, who lies more than most people urinate, is NOT saying they had legal sanction to invade a private dwelling. She's trying to distract dumbass rubes. Are they that stupid?

In case you forgot why Senile Satan was cited for refusing to return classified documents.

@TolleEnthusiast He got fat, lazy and entitled. Good riddance. (BTW: The Sox had a better record than the Giants without him.)

Literally every problem the Red Sox have right now could be solved with Raffy Devers. It’s actually comical. A power bat, middle of the order bat. Another infielder

The Bloom/Breslow All-Star Roster: If you take every player traded by Chaim Bloom and Craig Breslow since 2020, your lineup would look like this: Mookie Betts, CF (Bloom) Andrew Benintendi, LF (Bloom) Rafael Devers, 3B (Breslow) Hunter Renfroe, RF (Bloom) Alex Verdugo, DH (Breslow) Mitch Moreland, 1B (Bloom) Christian Vazquez, C (Bloom) Kiké Hernandez, SS (Bloom) Michael Chavis, 2B (Bloom) Bench:--------------------- Kevin Pillar, OF Jhostynxon Garcia, OF Nick Yorke, IF James Tibbs, OF Starting Rotation:------------ Chris Sale (Breslow) David Price (Bloom) Jeffrey Springs (Bloom) Richard Fitts (Breslow) Quinn Priester (Breslow) Bullpen:----------------------- Matt Barnes (CL) (Bloom) John Schreiber (Breslow) Brennan Bernardino (Breslow) Josh Taylor (Bloom) Chris Murphy (Breslow) Luis Perales (Breslow) Hunter Dobbins (Breslow) Sean Newcomb (Breslow) ------------------------------------------------- Total All-Star Nods: 34 Total World Series Rings: 21 Total MVP's: 2 Total Cy Youngs: 2 Total Gold Gloves: 9 Total Silver Sluggers: 12 Total Batting Titles: 1 Pain Level: 10/10 Management really said "sustainability" and meant "evacuation." Is this the greatest collection of talent ever traded by one team in a 6-year span? #RedSox #DirtyWater #MLB #Baseball #Fenway

Rest in peace, Dilbert. F that other whatshisface

@mikelaycock44 @iJordanMoore 😂

@iJordanMoore as a yankee fan i love craig

@JunoVero @iJordanMoore Saving HUNDREDS of millions? The whole 5-year contract Bregman took was only $15 million more than the Sox offered him.

@iJordanMoore Saving hundreds of millions in the process. Levels to it. Most (like you) won’t understand. Well done breslow.

@T_RIVE22 @iJordanMoore Devers got fat, lazy and complacent. And the Sox did better than the Giants did with him.

@iJordanMoore Not a Red Sox hater but I’m happy for them. They did Rafa dirty from the start.

@raffysroom @iJordanMoore NO! Red Sox did better than the Giants did with Devers. Devers got fat, lazy and complacent.

@iJordanMoore so you like devers now? 😂

@Si_bfc @iJordanMoore Player option was $27M/year after $40M out of his 4-year $120M contract.

@iJordanMoore Bregman had a player option which he didn’t take. That’s not the Sox’s fault.

@turnan23 @iJordanMoore Friend of Bill?

@iJordanMoore It’s been clear for a couple months Bregman didn’t want to be with Sox. This too shall pass and now we have great young talent. Serenity now
