Mets fans not exactly playing the "if only it had been us" game tonight.

"I certainly was betting on baseball to thrive, if that's what you're asking." Anyway, here are my zero text messages on the subject.

Ah, well, nevertheless.

Bills keep being in these "objectively great games (that they lose in the end)" and I for one am not here for it.

That owl's like, "WHO"

These kinds of nationwide no-reason-to-exist-but-exist-in-the-same-form-everywhere things pre-Internet fascinate me. I think Chuck Klosterman has written on the topic?

Literally my first thought when I saw the length of the contact was of my own mortality.

It would be nice to be the Lugo-er instead of the Lugo-ee this time around. Fingers crossed.
