He looks like the crime boss henchmen in a skinemax flick circa the early oughts.

GOMS is Go Ms aka Go Mariners from when mlb had all teams try to get a hashtag going for fans to cheer them on twitter. Because of how twitter hashtags work it had to be formatted as #GOMS

I assume SMOG is when something bad happens to them.

The Jays are the exact same team as last year + a bullpen that rocks.

All hail Jeff Hoffman

they haven't been no-no'd the first week in the season and aren't rostering guys like vogelbach to "provide a spark in the offense" so i'd say their offense is slightly better than last season

but yeah, hoffman has been a revelation

They've scored 2!!! runs more in their first 16 games this year than they did last year. Their OPS is essentially unchanged though they've exchanged power for OBP.

They've given up 19 less runs.

We know who we are. It's part of being a mariners fan. You really limit your enjoyment of the game when you require your team to "be good" or "win games". Just enjoy the ride.

It's still up but it looks like embeds are having a bad day:



I searched X The Everything App and this Gomez guy that I’ve never heard of looks like he deleted his entire account. Or the app is just that broken.

EDIT: Found his tweet after looking at Mike Deportes’ account. So I guess this news is being shadow banned or something.

Yes. This can be explained by "it barely ever happened".

Since interleague play started in 1997, there have been the following SF Giants / NY Yankees series @ NYY:

June 2002 - 2-1 Yankees.
September 2013 - 2-1 Yankees.
July 2016 - 2-1 Yankees.
March-April 2023 - 2-1 Yankees.
April 2025 - 2-1 Giants.

Not exactly a long-running streak.

Even the 2024 email sucks outside of a token "diversity and inclusion" thrown in at the end, just blatantly trying to erase the history of MLB's policy of segregation.

The “neat” thing about capitalist commodification of everything is it had already so watered down and abstracted Jackie Robinson Day that once a deranged fascist took the reigns it was hardly a change at all to remove any hint of historical context from the event.

Myles Straw now has more home runs than Vladdy and Bo Bichette combined.

So does Tyler Heineman.

Let's go Mets cheeks, baby, Love da Mets cheeks.

The best part is that no Twins player was within 20 feet of Vientos when he got slammed in the butt by a baseball.

e: Also, Griffey took the Big Unit photography class?
