* A's reliever Trevor May announced his retirement yesterday, then dropped an absolute nuke on owner John Fisher....
"Sell the team, dude. ... Sell it, man,'' he said. "Let someone who actually, like, takes pride in the things they own, own something. There's actually people who give a s--- about the game. Let them do it. Take mommy and daddy's money somewhere else, dork."
"If you're going to be a greedy f---, own it," May said. "There's nothing weaker than being afraid of cameras. ... Do what you're going to do, bro. Whatever, you're a billionaire, they exist, you guys have all this power -- you shouldn't have any because you haven't earned any of it, but anyway, whatever."
That's an exceptionally well timed "dork" blast, imho.
FYI: John Fisher inherited the Gap fortune. I've got a lot of bad college wardrobe choices (looking at you, black pants and shiny blue shirts) that contributed to this dude's wealth.
* News I expect to see Geese Feeder ripping someone's *** on Twitter over:
our (supposedly) very progressive District Attorney here in the Crescent City got carjacked with his 78 year-old mom last night.
probably let out without bail lololoahahahaha
* Pretty crazy how important some people can be in people's lives despite only really taking a very small part.
What a voice, man. What an impact.
* Like King Lebron James, Bryce Harper was a superstar-to-be by the time he was 16 years old, also appearing on the cover of
Sports Illustrated. He's had a career that was every bit as good as advertised, and I feel like he's sometimes even a bit underrated. Early in his career, he was constantly criticized for being too flashy -- helmet flying off, tossing his bat, celebrating too enthusiastically, wearing too much eye black, having a crazy haircut, etc. One of the most annoying aspects of baseball, imho. When he's on, he's soooooo much fun to watch.
* When do pitchers and catchers report?
* Next book up --> David Halberstam's classic
The Best And The Brightest.
Very interested in anything Israel/Palestine/Gaza, fiction or non if there are recs out there.
* Uh-oh. Sparks are about to fly.
Renata just found Club Pro Guy's burner phone.

* Dick Vitale just keeps beating cancer and coming back. Man, that dude is gonna die in the booth, and I'm totally cool with it. What a legend. What a life.
* Gal getting her hair done right now. Motherf***er.
Probably gonna have to sell a car or a kidney or take out a HELOC to pay for this. 2-week vacation to Europe is usually cheaper. F'ing women.
* Hans Kim just isn't that funny. TS.
