Did we talk about the Feds maybe needing to check if Steve Cohen is involved in some really lucrative investment schemes

quote:

NEW YORK -- Edwin Díaz's $102 million, five-year contract with the New York Mets includes $26.5 million in deferred payments that he won't completely receive until 2042 and also has a club option for 2028 that could make the deal worth $118.25 million over six seasons.

There isn’t one player on the current Yankees roster who could leave and it would upset me. They are mostly losers who have never won poo poo.

I need more baseball. Doesn't Australia play it now? How do I watch that??

ABL season just started, and all the games are streamed for free on this page. If you use the code "BaseballAustralia", registration is free. With the coupon code, I didn't have to enter any bank details. Don't know if works outside of Australian IPs though. But there's always VPNs for that.

You can also watch Team Australia get absolutely destroyed by the Japanese national team.

mcmagic is incapable of internalizing the concept of postseason chaos. It’s all completely deterministic in his yankeebrain. If you lose it’s cause you’re a Loser who can’t Win, no other outcome was possible. Admitting otherwise would imply that the Great Yankees of his youth also got a bit lucky sometimes, instead of all being supermen with special Yankee Winner Mojo.

No, you see THE CAPTAIN Derek Jeter just possessed the *will to win* and used this psyic desire to force his teammates into excellence. How do you people not get this?!
