I don't know that I've been THIS MAD at people being THIS WRONG in quite some time.
Boy. That's just not the lineup I'd be starting in a game this important
Grink, Moon's Haunted, I'd have to debate several to land on one, and this all-timer from the world of professional wrestling...
Checking in on the fights. media.gettyimages.com/id/228860371...
Really? Because I'm pretty sure the USMNT benefits from it.
Thing that has stuck out to me since I was a kid who considered Bloodsport my favorite movie. Number of entrants in a single elimination tournament that would involve winning 56 matches:
Oh man, checking your timeline for more Sox stuff and seeing this and ... ours is also a Willow!
A lot of people are trying to argue that Wilson is WNBA's biggest star, not Clark. I have no dog in the fight, but if star means most recognizable, it's Clark by about a mile. Trends alone doesn't determine this, but it does give some degree of a picture.
Like, this didn't happen. Why are you saying it did without a basic level of fact-checking?
Now Tito Ortiz is claiming to be the first fighter to hold two UFC titles because the middleweight title was renamed to the light heavyweight title during his reign. I'm really glad this is all happening and isn't weird at all.
Conor McGregor is currently arguing on the Instagram post that Demetrious Johnson is Japanese.
In case I get blocked, you can't hide behind "my post didn't do enough numbers." You called for his job and his head.
You did. You can't argue against this despite your efforts to claim otherwise
I'm sorry, this is 82-0. What are you talking about?
Wait, is this George Lopez facebook post someone sent me the root of everyone claiming UFC fighters are "pulling out" of the White House card? Because it'd be neat to figure out where the lie originated.
Man, I promise you can have every issue in the world with the idea of a UFC event being held at the White House. It's a reasonable and sensible position to hold. But you don't have to just make stuff up. Like, this is not true!
Building on this, Sox beat the Tigers 2-1 for their 16th comeback win of the season. Miguel Vargas showed the spirit of the 2026 White Sox with this late catch.
If the Sox escape June still hovering around .500, I believe they make the playoffs. Jump on the bandwagon, it’s fun as hell! Jacob Gonzalez, called up after Murakami hit the IR, makes his debut today. He hit 19 homers with 62 RBI in 52 AAA games this season.
The fans are back in “The Rate,” the team believes, and the Sox play an exciting brand of baseball. The June schedule is brutal and they now face it without Murakami, but despite the national narrative, this is not a one-player team.
Murakami continued to mash, grabbing the AL lead in homers, only to tweak his hamstring against the Tigers. It’s a blow, to be sure, but the Sox won the game where he went down with a Vargas walk-off and then won 7-1 yesterday in their first full Murakami-less game.
There was, of course, the emotional Cubs series, which saw the Sox win two of three, ending with Edgar Quero’s 10th inning walk-off, making Quero another of the “next guy steps up” stories while the team awaits the return of catcher Kyle Teel. Quero homered yesterday on his own bobblehead day.
Along the way, Davis Martin was emerging as an actual threat to win the AL Cy Young. Pitching hasn’t been a strong suit on the team, but it’s been “good enough,” aside from Martin, who currently is 8-1 with a 2.00 ERA and 0.99 WHIP.
Chicago won 2 of 3 from the As and 2 of 3 from the Angels. And the team was absolutely murdering the ball. Murakami was absolutely crushing, but Vargas and Montgomery were right there with him, and other players, like Chase Meidroth, were stepping up at the right times.
Let’s talk White Sox baseball. The team started the season 1-5 with a -31 run differential. A rough “here we go again” start to the season, though Munetaka Murakami joined Chase DeLauter, Trevor Story, and Kyle Lewis as the only players to homer in their first three regular season MLB games.
Absolutely wild that WWE would do this to anyone who works for their streaming partner.
