#Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield deserves far more recognition in the National League Rookie of the Year conversation.
After winning NL Rookie of the Month in May, Rumfield has only gotten better.
He’s slashing .318/.396/.602 in June and has emerged as one of the better defensive first basemen in baseball. @blakestbanter
Winning close games is a start. You know what else is a sign of growth during a rebuild? Beating bad teams
Colorado has now won series against BOS, NYM, SF, HOU, LAA, CHC, PIT, and TOR. Not *all* of these teams are bad but most are
They are competing in their weight class again

Bill Simmons on the Nuggets:
“Why do they have to trade anybody to sign Peyton Watson? You have Jokic in your team, pay everyone, F*** off. Kroenke has a gazillion dollars, just keep everybody AND pay Peyton Watson. Your owner is super rich what are we doing?”

“Being married to your true partner and having a good marriage is a superpower in life. Where it’s like you feel like every problem can be beaten because there’s two of you… If I have a problem she has a problem, if she has a problem I have a problem and we tackle it together. Knowing someone who always has your back is a superpower” -@BarstoolBigCat
When the 2026 World Cup was announced for the United States back in 2018, I told myself there was no way I’d miss it. I was going to be there in person, experiencing a World Cup on home soil and I know so many of you felt the exact same way.
Fast forward to now, and the ticket prices are completely astronomical. Outrageously unaffordable. What was supposed to be the dream of a lifetime has been priced out of reach for regular fans like me. I’m going to miss watching my country host the biggest event in sports… something I may never get to experience again in my lifetime.
Yes, they’re going to make money off this massive event on U.S. soil. But the greed has gone too far. It’s ruining the beautiful game and turning it into something only the wealthy can enjoy. A World Cup should be for everyone not just those who can drop thousands without blinking.
This is an absolute shame.
