@ChadMoriyama I feel like the people saying he’s not a good SS aren’t even watching the games now. Clearly the illness/lost weight affected his hitting more than anything (even with age diminishing)
Why does Tom Cruise doing the intro for the World Cup Final just make me think he’s going to parachute onto the pitch at halftime and score a goal for Mission: Impossible 12?
Am I the only one who got logged out of my @TheAthletic account and cannot log in at all? Not with my password, not with a one-time code, nothing. I hate that app/site so much now.
@ChadMoriyama We’re in an era when almost half the teams make the playoffs, games are fast and almost anything can happen, and some of the best athletes ever are competing…but people want to go back to slow/boring games dominated by a few teams. Unless they’re talking about the steroid era
@FreddyLA7 I mean this in the most complimentary way possible: you got to this point by sharing with all of us your joy in experiencing America away from tourist attractions. It’s a breath of fresh air and we’re glad you’re here! We love to share
@baxstboys The further away I get from that game the more I realize that it wasn’t nearly as even as everyone thinks. Georgia played like they KNEW they could handle Bama and just had to be patient for opportunities.
It remains completely ridiculous that my two favorite @mlb teams are playing each other but I can’t watch because I’m in the broadcast area for one of them - and they’re not being broadcast in my area!
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.
Liftoff.
The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.
Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.
