José Feliciano is about to complete a deal to buy the Padres. I'm sure he'll want to light a fire under the Padres (not that it's currently necessary since they're on a winning streak) but it's not THAT José Feliciano.

I think the only medical condition I haven't seen described as moderate to severe in a commercial is jock itch.

here you are, enjoying it to the hilt...

https://qns.com/2026/04/bayside-woman-sentenced-pig-butchering-scam/ A Bayside (Queens) woman was sentenced to 120 days in prison on April 15 after paying a total of $2.5 million is restitution for her role in a pig butchering scam that impacted 13 victims across the country. Tiffany Yang, 37, of 200th Street, pleaded guilty on March 18 to grand larceny in the third degree, admitting she befriended her victims online and convinced them to invest in fraudulent assets through fake websites. The term “pig butchering” is based on the agricultural practice of fattening pigs before slaughter, symbolizing how scammers “fatten” their victims with their “accounts” showing artificial gains to manipulate the victims into depositing more money. The funds were then routed to the accounts of multiple shell companies in Yang’s control, and the fraudulent websites were shut down.

Every week is a new worst episode the show ever had. The only question each week is how many characters will make you want to throw a brick at your TV in this one.

Matt Olson made his 798th consecutive MLB start over the weekend. That tied him with Nellie Fox for the 11th-longest games started streak of all time, and he’ll take sole possession of 11th place with his 799th consecutive start against the Marlins this evening. It’s the longest streak baseball has seen since Miguel Tejada‘s 1,152 consecutive game streak ended nearly 20 years ago. If Olson can keep it up, he’ll be able to crack the all-time top ten next month.

SPOILER ALERT!!! Did anyone else get the immediate feeling that Whitaker's missing ID was stolen by Langdon to steal drugs?

But only by clinicians, not supposed patients describing their frown lines.

Lately every time I see a commercial for Botox or for plaque psoriasis, the narrator talks about deciding to use the medication because of their moderate to severe frown lines or plaque psoriasis. Have you ever used, or known anyone who has used, the phrase moderate to severe? Every time I see one of those commercials now I cringe even more than I normally would have because of how stupidly unrealistic the voiceover is. Just ranting a bit here…

Cole Caufield becomes first Montreal Canadiens player to score 50 goals in a season in 36 years yeah, but the Montreal Metros... Caufield is only the seventh player in Canadiens history to reach 50 goals in one season, and the first since Stéphane Richer scored 51 in 1989-90

The writing was clever and funny in past seasons but it has been dreadful this season and each ghost has seemingly been given an opportunity to be really annoying at some point. It used to be the first show I'd watch each week when I caught up with what I had recorded; now it's usually the last.

so DUMB this season

When Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie met and Hudson saw what kind of shape Connor was in he realized he would have to step up his game so he asked Connor for his fitness regimen. Which meant eating a pound of ground beef a day (for the protein) and lots of fiber and few carbs (to keep everything shredded). This was another reason why Connor was shoveling in the spaghetti in the final scene (because he said he was starving after 5+ weeks of filming). My question is… There have been a few times in my life when I have eaten 16 ounces of ground beef in one day, so why don't I look like Connor or Hudson?

Jo Adell, considered one of the worst defensive outfielders in the game, robbed Seattle of three home runs tonight in a 1-0 Angels win. In low-A Tampa's lineup last night it was easy being green: 1B Austin Green 1-4, K 
3B Kevin Verde 0-3, BB, SB As pinstripe alley put it, there is something funny about Green and Verde hitting back-to-back in a lineup.

During a game last August, Brewers manager Pat Murphy was caught taking a pancake from the pocket of his hoodie for a midgame bite, right in the middle of a dugout interview during a game against the Nationals. It wasn't necessarily new for Murphy, who has been known to have everything from waffles to eggs rolls close at hand should he get the munchies. But given the game was nationally televised, the moment immediately went viral. And the Brewers even latched onto the momentum, introducing "Murph's Pocket Pancakes" as concession items for Sunday home games at American Family Field. The Brewers were supposed to play the Royals on Friday night on Apple TV, though the game was called 90 minutes before first pitch because of the rain. During a pregame interview with Apple's reporter, Tricia Whitaker, Murphy said he was informed "under no uncertain circumstances, no pocket pancakes" during their talk, so he pulled out what was supposed to be a pocket turtle. "This is Bobby Jr.," Murphy said in presenting it to her, having named the creature after his longtime friend, Bobby Witt, and his son, Royals star Bobby Witt Jr. "I didn't want to pull out pancakes so here we are." Whitaker posted the moment on social media, and fans immediately informed her that the reptile was not, in fact, a pocket turtle -- or any turtle. It was a tortoise, or more specifically a sulcata tortoise, which can live 70 years and grow to 100 pounds. "How am I supposed to fly this home?" Whitaker asked. Good question. Turns out, as Whitaker later posted on social media, American Airlines has "a strict no reptiles policy," so Bobby Jr. had to stay behind in Kansas City. The agreement, she wrote, is that the club would keep the tortoise for the time being. Indeed, the reptile was happily living under a heat lamp in the visiting clubhouse at Kauffman Stadium on Saturday, though the plan is to find Bobby Jr. a good home soon. He won't be traveling with the club all season. "It was suggested by one player," Whitaker said, "that they get to keep the 'rally turtle' if they win today. If they lose, I am hoping, consideration will be given to send me the tortoise."
