With Tsuyoshi Shinjo (Fighters), Kazuhisa Ishii (Golden Eagles), and Shingo Takatsu (Swallows), that's five out of 12 NPB teams currently skippered by Brognas.



What we're looking at here is a takeover. You just know it's only a matter of time before Norichika Aoki grabs that opening with the Orix Buffaloes.

Super Joe McEwing no longer super in the eyes of White Sox management, let go after long tenure as coach.

I am sorry about your loss in the election, @laurenboebert. Who knows what funny business was going on!? Anyhow, I know this must be a difficult time, and just keep in mind that you have someone right here to talk to (or whatever other kind of needs you may have right now). DM me?

From the News:

Harrelson no longer has those memories. And his family and friends no longer try to remind him of his past. He'll always be the player who hit an RBI double in Game 2 of the 1969 NLCS to help send the Mets to the World Series. He'll always be the guy who got in a fight with Pete Rose and sparked a benches-clearing brawl during the 1973 NLCS. Harrelson will always be the person who helped bring professional baseball to Long Island, a particular point of pride for him. The California native made Hauppauge his home after his playing days were over and was influential in making the Long Island Ducks a reality. “Now we visit his reality,” Battaglia said. “He no longer is able to be with us and ours. We don't have a shared reality anymore. So we only guess at what he's feeling.” Harrelson may not be able to speak or make decisions or even live independently anymore, but the one thing he can still do is grip a baseball. Underneath the devastating disease, he's still a ballplayer.

This is an amusing kind of Twitter thread if you read it, with appearances by Megill's Mom, back and forth between fans, a few funny remarks and a pretty wild opening video https://twitter.com/24_7Farnsworth/status/1522619666543296514

Wondering what has happened to Kyle Farnsworth's famed protege Kasumba Dennis? Well, he's still grinding toward his dream with some intimidating, if questionable, training methods.

And in a similar move, Willie Sutton's family just tweeted that he has gone 42 years without robbing a bank.



Memo to Lenny:

The only one who cares is (maybe) your parole officer.

It's funny that he thinks that's something to boast about. If I can go another six days, I'll have gone 715 months without being arrested, which will allow me to break Babe Ruth's home run record.
