Not sure if you’ve noticed, but it’s July and the Giants are still In first place

Yeli and Beli both suck now
Not long ago, the game of baseball was in the hands of young superstars Cody Bellinger and Christian Yelich. “Yeli vs Belli” was a debate for two years. The Los Angeles Dodger and Milwaukee Brewer, respectively, were lighting the league on fire and ushering in what appeared to be the next generation...
The pandemic era has ended for AEW and WWE. Now what?

It’s been another horrible week for women, and sports isn’t helping one bit

It can be worth waiting for
Perhaps I should save this until after we see how the NBA Finals pan out.

Denmark can absolutely win the whole thing
We’ve reached the quarterfinals of Euro 2020(1), which is when fans of the countries still in contention really start dreaming, and the rest realize that fucking-off-of-work time is probably going to run out with only three Monday-Friday match days left (#DayDrinkingIsForAllSeasons).
