When I was 8 years old I wanted to be Brad Pitt.
Now that I'm almost 28 years old and have seen some amazing things in life, I've traveled, I've loved, and I've matured...
I still want to be Brad Pitt.

My Dad encouraged me to read Dune when I was a teenager. He named me Paul. It's a family name on both sides, but there was the added attraction of it being linked to Dune and the Apostle.
I was born to resist AI.

Hey that looks like Watchdogs in real life! Hey! Hey, wait. That's Saratoga. Crazy to see where I grew up featured like this.

It’s the most important game of the season for both teams, determining who wins the season series with a playoff tiebreaker that could absolutely come into play. MLB should one thousand percent have to address the fact that they fucked this up and cost the Red Sox the game.

You will begin coughing in 3 days @MLB
Must be nice to be on the NYY payroll and not have to wear the pinstripes at home.
Terrible call by the umps. What's the point of having a replay?!?! I thought these were professionals.

Im convinced that the Liberty Mutual commercials have done irreparable damage to how Americans will pronounce "emu" for generations to come.

I forgot how much I hate FOX broadcasts of Red Sox/Yankee games. The clear affection for NY is disgusting. Getting any positive or meaningful commentary on the Red Sox lineup, plays, ANYTHING is impossible and their attempts at it sound like a kid choking on their broccoli.

Was it expensive? Yeah.
Could it hurt the Red Sox in a few years? Maybe.
Does it help right now? YEAH. If we can sweep the Dodgers in August we can swing hard against them in October. This shores that up.
The Red Sox have made a splash, acquiring C Adley Rutschman from the Orioles!
Rutschman, 28, is slashing .251/.331/.443 with a .349 xwOBA and 115 wRC+ this season. He was placed on the IL with left wrist inflammation on July 20th and was expected to start a rehab assignment as soon as next week.
Rutschman is instantly the franchise catcher upgrade you've been looking for. This is a guy that fits the high contact/high BB%/low K% mold Boston has sought out to plug into their lineup. His zCon (91.3%) is exceptional and you're looking at a bat that consistently stays ~0.75 BB/K with a sub-20% K rate.
The Red Sox have needed to add a high quality bat that impacts RHPs... well, look no further. Rutschman vs. RHPs in 2026:
⚾️ .256 BA
⚾️ .799 OPS
⚾️ .340 xwOBA
⚾️ 123 wRC+
Lost in the shuffle: Rutschman has also turned in career-best quality of contact this season:
⚾️ 89.4 EV — T-best
⚾️ 42% HH — best
Rutschman's expected numbers are also pretty great, supporting the success he's had on offense to start the year. The .275 xBA (over 20 points above his actual mark) is really intriguing. Not to mention, what does that swing look like with more emphasis on pulling the ball and/or utilizing the Monster? I'd really like for him to tap into the SLG more.
Another huge component of this trade is how sound Rutschman's defense is behind the dish.
⚾️ +4 DRS
⚾️ +4 rSB
⚾️ +9 FRV
At the end of the day this is a ballsy move from Craig Breslow... is it a clear overpay on paper? Yeah. But you're getting a really high quality, two-way player at a premium position that also happens to switch hit. This is hopefully your franchise backstop of the future.
Next up: extend that man!

BREAKING: The Boston Red Sox are acquiring three-time All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles, sources tell ESPN.

Some say it’s harmless, but research tells a different story. P*rn is reshaping brains, relationships, and even society.
It hijacks the brain’s reward system, making real intimacy less satisfying and creating a cycle of dependence. Studies link p*rn use to lower relationship satisfaction, emotional detachment, and unrealistic expectations.
Beyond individuals, its impact reaches entire communities—normalizing aggression, objectification, and unhealthy behaviors.
If it’s changing the way we think and interact, what can we do? Awareness, education, and open conversations are key.
