Kruk: “Is it weird we say ‘I love you’ to strangers?”
TMac: “I don’t think that word is used enough in this world.”
Kruk: “That was very, very deep.”

We want your pee. Please give us your pee.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Tommy John, a veteran of 26 MLB seasons who helped revolutionize recovery from pitching injuries in the 1970s.

John broke in with Cleveland as a 20-year-old in 1963 and made his last appearance for the Yankees at age 46 in 1989, also pitching for the White Sox, Dodgers, Angels, and Athletics. The left-hander won 288 games, made 4 All-Star teams and anchored 3 pennant-winning teams, while twice finishing as a runner-up for the Cy Young Award. His 700 games started rank 8th on the all-time list.

After John injured his elbow in 1974, he received the first ulnar collateral ligament replacement surgery from Dr. Frank Jobe. John returned to pitch in 1976, then won 20 games three times in four years from 1977-80.

He would go on to pitch 14 of his 26 seasons after the procedure that is now known as Tommy John Surgery, a measure that has helped extend pitching careers in the more than half a century since it was first performed.

He was 83.

Kyle Schwarber's leadoff homer at the Field of Dreams Game was the first home run ever in an MLB game televised on Netflix, making him a member of a select group of players who were the first to hit a big-league homer on a national MLB TV network/platform.

Guess I should eventually watch Field of Dreams

Van Lathan, co-host of Higher Learning podcast, reacts to transphobic remarks by WNBA athlete Sophie Cunningham

"If you cannot gift trans people with visibility, humanity, and acceptance, could you at least gift them with silence? Could you at least shut the fu## up about it? Could you at least leave them the fu## alone?"

You guys are doing your victory lap on this shit, fucking up the country. You mean to tell me there are wars happening in the Middle East, food prices are crazy, like the environment is in the shitter, we can't eat lettuce without crap in our pants, all of this stuff, and you still picking on these people after all of this time?”

[The Hungry Transit Fan @Hungry_Transit]

Cool, now I own a vintage hat.

Guess this means another visit next year!

The Next Chapter. 📚 SWB is set to retire the "RailRiders" moniker after 2026, and we're excited to unveil a new identity ahead of the 2027 season!

Celebrate the last ride for the RailRiders with our final three homestands of the RailRiders era!

While the club’s name and look will evolve, its commitment to delivering memorable experiences at PNC Field and serving as the final stop on the path to the Bronx will remain unchanged.

@emmcooper42 Went to a Mets game for like $20 and there were easily thousands of open seats... On a Saturday, with decent weather, for 2 of their team HOF members' inductions. Philly would never

[The Hungry Transit Fan @Hungry_Transit]

@rschoneman "there" as in that specific theater, to clarify

[The Hungry Transit Fan @Hungry_Transit]

I guess the Nederlander Theatre only has 2 total bathrooms? Seems like something they could've addressed in the last 125 years

[The Hungry Transit Fan @Hungry_Transit]

@rschoneman Just absolutely wild to me. For years I've been coming, I don't think I've ever stood in such a line and almost missed the start of the second act (the last time I was there was for Redwood, didn't experience that)
