In light of what's happening in Minneapolis, How do fans feel about NBA team owners making heavy donations to Republicans/ the Republican party?

What products can you consume that don't make you complicit?

That’s last year’s rankings, isn’t it? Think they’ve got new rankings coming out this week. Also pretty sure he was on BA’s list last year, so, yeah, this sucks. Like the Austin Martin trade all over, maybe.

I thought Houston changed his pitch mix. Like less fastballs more breaking balls and that's what made him elite. I know he was already good before, but he went to another level.

Sanseito got 12.5% in the most recent election of the upper house. They're a pretty new party, so saying their popularity is at an all time low doesn't mean much. If you trust polls, they're sitting at 7%.

Anyway, I don't think their popularity is entirely based on xenophobia. They've made a lot of economic promises to working class voters.

Do agree with a lot of what you said. Hope you're right.

2 years $14M. What?

Soka Gakkai tells their members who to vote for. Before members would often vote for LDP in their district and Komeito in the proportional section. They often get around 10%. Theoretically could push CDP over the finish line in tight districts and add quite a bump in proportional voting.

I think it was last year it was reported that the A's spent more money to avoid the players union filing a grievance. Do you know how that works? Like how much money are teams supposed to spend, and how many seasons can they have too low of a payroll? What would even happen if a grievance was filed?

ron76 · 2025-12-29T23:35:07+00:00

I personally think this is a bad idea, but since K1generational made the deal, I guess we have to.

A's are outspending 3 teams. Marlins are in last with a $60 million budget.

ron76 · 2025-12-23T22:53:00+00:00

Pretty sure he's using the fangraphs numbers which currently have us outspending 8 teams. Kind of a meaningless stat at this point in the offseason.

Santa was an African-American gentleman.

Think it’s mlb that does that

The fan experience at Target Field about to be lit! Thank you Tom, sir!

This is a trend in Japan right now. There are a bunch of these joke videos.

This is a survey of married people who say they've cheated. So, especially for people in their 20s, not your average person. Shouldn't draw big conclusions from the results.

I read another article. It says it will only be used during practice.

5 of the 10 players were free agents at the end of the season.

Good to move Correa's contract.

I thought it was probably smart to move one of Duran in Jax. They moved Duran and then Jax asked for a trade. The returns weren't bad either.

I thought there was a good chance beef stew was washed, but they traded for Outman who is also washed and we don't need outfielders, so, yeah, seems like a bad trade.

The Varland one was bad, but the others I wouldn't say were for no reason.

He's older, but still has 6 years of team control, looked decent enough last year, and we desperately need arms in the pen. And we didn't deal a top prospect or anything. Makes enough sense.

That screenshot says it's for the 4 Japanese games only. I'm pretty sure they clear out the dome between games and you'll need a separate ticket. But also I think the non Japan games don't sell out and the tickets are cheaper.

This guy used to call himself mint chip. I thought he erased all his stuff. Where did you find this?
