I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to condense my thoughts on the trade into writing after it happened, and this was my conclusion about Jaylen
Upon further reflection I feel like going after either J-Will or Chet makes too much sense to not be at least one of their top ideas
Unfortunately if no team is willing to make a strong offer right now, the only option is to do the best you can to augment the current roster and head into next season ready to move Jaylen if and when some team decides to up the ante. Which means we spend the season waiting for a shoe to drop.
#makeaterriblecomicday2026 look, i'm not an artist, but i've kinda always wanted to get in on this
Vince looks like the senior partner at a huge law firm Melo looks like a random guy with very weird and very strong views running for City Comptroller
Look, there's building a winner, and then there's the more basic goal of entertaining your fans. Bad enough that the Sox won't spend to put a real WS team on the field. IMO much worse is they're failing to even be at all fun. However long it's actually been since Ortiz retired, it feels WAY longer.
I'm sorry, but any serious sports league would find this deeply embarrassing
Even if Will is technically right, what is striking to me about this exchange is how being the "Well akshully" guy in response to giving people stuff they need to make their lives better is precisely the image that the Democratic Party needs to run from like it's Leatherface revving a chainsaw
Remarkably difficult to find recent pics of my cat; turns out we largely stopped taking pictures of her when the little human arrived. Here she is being amazingly tolerant of me practicing with the baby wrap before my son was born.
I'm still trying to get used to these kinds of numbers (11-51 from three, 19 fewer boards than the opponent) being the norm for the Celtics
"Politics is about recognizing that other people exist that fundamentally disagree with you and living alongside them." He's talking to Republicans, right? Right?
Sorry but word choice like "aspirations" really makes it hard to take this seriously
