Trea Turner said he took maybe "350" swings pregame yesterday before going 0-for-6. He did not take any pregame today. He went 4-for-5 with 4 singles.

"That's how dumb this game is," he joked.

Social media has finally become ubiquitous enough to start seeing the INFINITE MONKEY THEOREM play out.

Why does it take like 5 minutes for a data center to get approved to be built but years for a public park?

[Richard “Patriot” Fitzwell @CBSDickFitzwell]

Some girl just ended things with me and first thing in my head and out my mouth was “That’s baseball.”

[JZ @maybejacobzak]

@juntomagellan @zerohedge Or maybe it has to do with gasoline doubling. Just a thought.

I just want to point out....

The amount of money the United States has spent on war in the last 67 days, is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. So the real question is never can we afford it, it's what we choose to prioritize.

Spirit shut down bc fuel prices DOUBLED. Why are yall talking about mergers lmao.

[Mayowa @Mayoveli]

This cost them about $1 trillion.

The truth is, you cannot build systems like this exclusively on the logic of profit. You cannot expect to break even in 20 or 30 years. Projects of this scale are built because the government decides they must exist to serve the people.

And this is a problem with systems that are strictly, or overwhelmingly, capitalist. If you leave every problem in your society to the spontaneity of the market, some challenges are so large and so unprofitable that you will never have sufficient incentive to solve them.

Steve Kerr on his biggest concern about America Today

“When I finished college almost forty years ago, if you went to school and got a degree, you could get a job and you could buy a house. Now that's out of reach for most people between student debt and home prices and the economy slanted toward the very, very top one per cent. We don't really have a middle class, and we don't have what used to represent the American Dream, which was: you can do better than your parents. We're going backward on all that. Our family is lucky. I'm in a position where my family can live well. But there are millions of people out there, young people who are looking at the horizon and saying, "I did everything I was told I needed to do, and I can't buy a house, and I can't chase my dream." Think about what that means for the stability of communities and cities and a whole country.”

Imagine going to the ballpark thinking you're gonna see Randy Johnson vs Greg Maddux and seeing Max Scherzer vs Clayton Kershaw instead
