  1. These guys look so tired. Maybe the dude they sent packing in the minors was just catching the vibes from the organization

  2. I had beef dumplings from the food truck because they are apparently traditional in Tibet? I think it’s the only time I’ve ever had beef, its always pork.

  3. Today I bought a slingshot to fire at the squirrels in my yard. They dug up all of the plants in my raised bed and my potted tomatoes. I’ve tried liquid fence, I’ve tried pinwheels staked in the ground, I’ve even tried filling in the fresh dirt with landscaping rock to try to defer them. It’s an all out war out here.

  4. Listening to the guardians broadcast.. these chuckle fucks are the worst. Lots of dumb jokes and digs at the twins followed by the most annoying forced and performative laughter..

  5. It’s extremely unlikely to happen but it would be hilarious if the bullpen was finally nails during the biggest game of the year on a night when Jax is unavailable. A man can dream though…
