This is something that gets said a lot and just isn’t true. Cars today have a lifespan of at least 13 years, double what it was in the 70s. And it has always been increasing.

This is a corporation. It’s not about winning, just making money. You don’t make money in FA.

Life advice, if you ever get a chance to speak at someone’s retirement or wedding or whatever, don’t actually tell them what you really think about them if it’s not good.

Players are right. Nice to hear Castellanos is the voice of calm. I’d listen to a salary cap if there was a salary floor, relegation, no profit sharing or whatever to force out the A’s and Pirates. And for the players, get rid of Arb years or something that gets them paid their worth during...

$50M is going to buy a lot of relievers if we decide to spend it and not put it into the Battery.

Japan fought bitterly on every island. Who knows how it would have gone but imagine sending your 18 year old son over to die in a war you could end with a weapon, frankly against a country that earned no mercy.

Uranium is more dangerous as a heavy metal than a radioactive source.

Y’all stay angry at AA, which is an ok position given how he mismanages the things he does control. But he doesn’t control the budget or FA avoidance. That’s his corporate overlords.

National Building Museum has a specific kid zone meant for young ones.

How much longer until they announce Strider is having elbow surgery?
