Pirates Offense according with MLB Ranks:

Hits: 1st
Runs: 3rd
Avg: 2nd
OPS: 2nd
rOBA: 2nd
TB: 3rd
SB: 5th

And not one guy from that offense made the all star game. Make it make sense.

Jestin Porter had 5 points in his first game at NBA Summer League for the Grizzlies 🫡

[Andrew Fillipponi @ThePoniExpress]

Brandon Lowe leads all NL 2B in:

-Home Runs (20)
-RBI (60)

Retweet if you think it’s BS that he didn’t make the NL All-Star Team.

This is a 4th of July injustice on par with the Stamp Act.

Donald Trump will go down in history as the only US President to be outwitted by a single-celled organism.

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.

If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
