I would like to take a moment to thank Yankees legend Kyle Higashioka - the home run stroka - and wish him well in San Diego. Caught a perfect game, a no-hitter and hit this beautiful home run off Blake Snell in the 2020 ALDS. Thank you Higgy 🫡
BREAKING:
The NBA has now traded Paul George for:
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Jaylen Brown
Domantas Sabonis
Victor Oladipo
Danilo Gallinari
And
7 1st round picks plus 4 pick swaps
Paul George is the Most Valuable Player in NBA history.
BLOCKBUSTER: The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.
I really do not like this trade for Minnesota.
Sure Lamelo is really good and a major upgrade for them at PG, but giving up Naz just feels like a major oversight. He was one of their most key pieces down the stretch in playoff games over the last 3 years.
BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN.
Yankees SP in the last 6 games:
Schlittler (tonight): 8.0 IP, 1 ER
Fried: 8.0 IP, 0 ER
Gil: 6.1 IP, 0 ER
Weathers: 7.1 IP, 0 ER
Warren: 7.0 IP, 2 ER
Schlittler: 6.0 IP, 0 ER
@BillSimmons …or maybe this year is just an especially bad one-off year
- Wizards get Trae + AD back next year and will try
- Nets don’t own their pick next year so will try
- Pacers get Tyrese back and will try
- Jazz w JJJ will try
Bulls, Kings and Pelicans already trying - just bad
They should have recliner chairs in art museums so you can take a nap to recharge. They’re already halfway there with these nice benches strategically placed throughout
Excited for the Yankees to have a stretch where they look unstoppable, then struggle heavily during the summer. Then have one good round of the postseason and then look abysmal in another and then the season will end. Every year. Same story. Baseball!
It is no wonder that today in conversations so many people feel that others are “lying” or “misinformed” when literally everyone’s news sources are from different - often random and unverified - places.
And now we have protestors in New York City defending the ACTUAL Ayatollah.
I think social media algorithms have seriously contributed to the polarization of the USA and more broadly the world.
40 years ago everyone got the same few newspapers and could discuss it.
Now we all get uniquely customized feeds aimed at maximizing our engagement.
