I feel like that could be endless and would exclude people who don't have much STEM background

the dictionary they use for the Bee has a lot of words missing, i guess to keep it reasonable. The absence of CARACAL has always bugged me - I have actually seen one! they exist!

today's pangram has to be one of the most esoteric ones ever

for some fan base to see their drought end

I am aware of this

what’s the joke here?

I’ve already addressed the Dodgers’ financial advantage - which the Yankees, Mets, and a few other clubs share, yet without the Dodgers’ results. You’re talking in circles. Go log off and put a shirt on.

"while people like you overrate their player development" citation needed. "and act like money has nothing to do with their success." False. It's a strawman and a lie rolled into one. Of course money is part of their success. So is their strong scouting & player development.

You've never worked in baseball. I'm not sure what you think umpiring at whatever level this is has to do with the issue at hand.

No, a former front-office exec who has covered the sport for 20+ years and knows how much the Dodgers' culture and processes have led to their success.

This is just wrong, across the board. You can recognize what the Dodgers have done well without pushing a bogus narrative.

at least 10 teams have a current GM or POBO from those two trees: Friedman, Neander, Arnold, Bloom, Bendix; Atkins, Depodesta, Hawkins, Hazen, Antonetti. and that’s with a couple of jobs vacant.

Friedman, two Friedman proteges, and Cleveland.

so the final four are * a team that has never won the World Series in its 28 seasons * a team that has never won the World Series in its 57 seasons * a team that hasn’t won the World Series in 77 seasons * Dodgers

too much of a good thing

this is inhumane - denying babies a lifesaving vaccine to placate vaccine deniers who will never be placated

i think it’s “smash any hope of democracy”
