Sports twitter is awful because it’ll have you catching feelings for teams you should never have thought twice about. Why am I developing affection for the Toronto Blue Jays. I live in Texas.
Can’t begin to tell ya how awesome it is that the dude who streamed himself playing MVP baseball 2005 almost 2000 times till he threw a perfect game with Roy Oswalt went viral.
MVP 05 is literally the poster child for sports games for millennials. It ruled then, and it still hasn’t been matched since.
I’d publicly ask EA to bring it back but the EA sports of 20 years ago is dead.
They’d monetize the hell out of it and leave a sour taste in everyone’s mouth.
With that said, we need to normalize appreciating games like MVP more. That dude doesn’t realize how much his run resonated with a lot of people.
Ross Atkins Breakdown:
Tyler Rogers - 3 years / $37,000,000
Louis Varland - Traded for Alan Roden and Kendrys Rojas
Spencer Miles - Rule 5 Draft
What a fucking year of acquisitions for Ross the Boss
#BlueJays
The dedication to this is off the charts 🤯
After 1,993 attempts at trying to throw a perfect game with Roy Oswalt in MVP Baseball 2005 this dude finally got it 🔥

Ty Southisene went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Vancouver's 5-3 win tonight.
The 21-year-old middle infielder is hitting .290 with a home run, a triple, two doubles, three stolen bases, and a .921 OPS in his first eight games with the C's.
The WNBA refusing to promote Caitlin Clark is impossible to explain. Imagine the NBA not using Jordan, Kobe or LeBron when promoting their teams. Just a league run by woke morons.
Don’t care how shit Vladdy has been. Don’t care that the team leader in OPS is rocking a .750 or whatever. Don’t care if their bullpen is taxed. Why the fuck not us? Power of friendship baby. Wake up every day and win a ballgame
You're telling me that Flock cameras have the capabilities to track a woman across multiple states to track if she got an abortion and a man who crossed state lines for weed, but they aren't being used for finding missing kids or get a glimpse of Mitch McConnell returning home?
Using flock cameras to watch a man drive from Wisconsin to a Michigan dispensary only to pull him over for possession when he got back home is so interesting to me when an estimated 460,000-600,000 children go missing in the US every year.
The WNBA headlines really went from “Caitlin vs Angel Reese” to “Will a dildo be thrown on the court tonight” to “Should trannies be allowed to play” 😭🤦🏽♂️
"Why do prices keep going up?"
I'd be happy to explain why prices keep going up...Inflationary monetary policy.
"Why do we have inflationary monetary policy?"
Well, there are a lot of reasons, but the primary one is that politicians really like to spend money, because it's an easy way to buy votes. The problem is politicians don't make money, so they have to get it through one of 3 primary ways...
1. They can tax...which is how they get most of it, but there is a point where taxation has diminishing returns because taxing someone too much leads to a lack of productivity or avoidance strategies.
2. They can borrow...which is one of their favorites because it allows them to kick the can down the road when it comes to actually paying for things; the problem is that at some point the government's credit isn't very good, and people don't want to voluntarily loan them money anymore.
3. They can print it...which is what we have been doing for a long time now. It's especially damaging because when the government prints a bunch of money to spend, it doesn't immediately cause all the prices to go up, so when the government spends the money, they are getting close to the full value of the dollar at the time that it is spent...it is only after the new paper dollars have started to circulate without a corresponding increase in supply that more dollars are competing over the same amount of goods and services and thus the prices go up, because the value of each dollar has gone down through money printing ie. "inflationary monetary policy."
Eventually the inflation gets so bad that they have to stop printing and spending, but that only decreases inflation; it doesn't end it, so prices don't go down to where they were; they simply stop increasing at the previous rate.
"Well, why don't they fix it?"
Because it would cause the economy to significantly, albeit temporarily, tank, and then whatever party was not in charge would blame the party that was in charge, and the citizens suffering the most from inflationary monetary policy would punish the party that stopped the inflationary monetary policy.
"So what's the answer?"
Well...the American people could start getting a lot more educated and concerned about the dangers of fiat currency combined with an ever-expanding welfare state and economic central planning, or the system can keep going until it reaches a critical mass, collapses, and we go through a lot more pain than would have otherwise been required...
Johnny King (TOR) is considered one of the best LHP prospects in MLB. A big part of that is his lively fastball from his lower slot which is adept at generating in-zone misses. It is one of the best offerings in MiLB and lays the foundation for King as a future starter in MLB
Toronto ❤️❤️❤️ So many great memories with amazing people that i will cherish forever! Getting to represent an entire country was truly an honour that i never took for granted! Love you all!
