There was a recent Doctor Who episode where the big bad caused chaos by making everyone in the world think that everyone else was wrong and they were right.

There was a recent Doctor Who episode where the big bad caused chaos by making everyone in the world think that everyone else was wrong and they were right. There was a bit where someone was driving on the sidewalk because, well, he was a taxpayer and paid for that sidewalk and it was his right, darnit! I thought that screenwriter Russell T. Davies was being a bit on the nose in that episode, but seeing that stuff about being a driver in 2024, I might have to say he was more right than I realized. Even if he was not referring to the US (since Doctor Who almost always takes place in the UK).
I had forgotten about Stroman and his dog whistle. I really did like him as a Met, in part because he spoke his mind in a sport that discourages it. But while it might be fun to see the conformity factory in the Bronx struggle with him, those tweets make me think a return to NYC would just be a bad idea. Though the bigger question is why the Yankees aren't chasing Snell or Montgomery. The money they budgeted for Yamamoto is still there.
Wow, ESPN still wants Yankees-Red Sox. Notably absent from prime time: the NL champs, and also the Phillies. But games with the Cubs and Cards. Weird.
Couldn’t stand Stroman, glad to see he’s signing with the yanks though - I’m sure he’ll be a great addition to the locker room and definitely help their chances of succeeding.
In about 24 hours the story went from, the Yankees haven’t made Stroman an offer and weren’t interested to the Yankees are the favorites to sign him. I wonder if this is all noise generated by his agent to drum up interest or if Stroman’s camp dropped their asking price or number of years dramatically.
For sure it’s silly season. Agents and teams have been negotiating for two months and haven’t worked out a deal.
I think we’re hit the point where reality has set in that while these guys might be Top 5 free agents THIS YEAR, they’re merely solid starters not all stars. And no one wants to pay Bellinger like a franchise SS or anything close.

The show really seems to be in a good place now. The newest Doctor is amazing.

The fact that the opening series isn't Diamondbacks-Dodgers shows that ESPN isn't even pretending anymore.

Or it could just be we are deep in the silly season for free agency.
