THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP!!!

(Re-sign everyone, Rogers, and run it back.)

He should be in consideration.

Vlad is playing easily the best defensive first base I have ever seen.

02.11.2025 02:36 β€” πŸ‘ 35    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Goddamn, the defence.

Trey Yesavage, who famously was pitching to his fellow third graders at recess in Miss Reynolds's class just five months ago, is entering to pitch in Game 7 of the World Series

Love Ernie Clement so much man, that was some league of their own posing there

Hoffman has been great, too, of course. But not a lot of save opportunities.

I trust Bassitt. Best bullpen guy they’ve had all playoffs.

Not a swing, but you take it.

Make this inning legendary, Max.

That is some defence. Ho ly.

That’s the catch you dream of as a kid, playing in the park

It was nuts to bring Ohtani back for that inning. Bichette absolutely smoked that ball

God, I love these broken, injured professional ballplayers.

02.11.2025 01:04 β€” πŸ‘ 15    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

third inning for ohtani feels like a mistake

Every elite athlete who is older than me is a rare flower that must be cherished.

A guy who is older than me should not be able to throw a fastball as good as Max is throwing right now.

02.11.2025 00:52 β€” πŸ‘ 17    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

That should probably be Ohtani’s last batter

02.11.2025 00:50 β€” πŸ‘ 14    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 3    πŸ“Œ 0

Ohtani is trying to scrape his way through three innings.

Jays just can’t let him get away with it.

02.11.2025 00:39 β€” πŸ‘ 74    πŸ” 6    πŸ’¬ 8    πŸ“Œ 0

Not close to 100%.

Holy crap. This is high drama.

You could make a joke along the lines of, β€œTrump lost the Nobel Peace Prize, and he’s going to punish someone for it, dammit,” and, like, yes, that is a legitimate possibility for what this is.

That scans.

That is in this man’s psychology.

Yes.

Doug Ford’s speed camera ban could leave spots in Toronto without anti-speeding measures for years, city says School and other safety zones in Toronto that are about to lose their speed cameras could be left without provincially funded traffic-calming infrastructure for months β€” or even years.

Yes, well, police across Ontario significantly reduced enforcing speed offences (and traffic offences writ large) specifically on the theory that cameras could do the job better.

So, this should be no surprise.

I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum.

Only 4 pitchers have recorded a Pitcher’s Cycle β€” striking out every batter in the opposing lineup β€” in the World Series:

Trey Yesavage, 2025 G5
Randy Johnson, 2001 G2
Bob Gibson, 1968 G1
Jesse Barnes, 1921 G6

30.10.2025 03:19 β€” πŸ‘ 574    πŸ” 179    πŸ’¬ 10    πŸ“Œ 18

Legitimately, Trey has made a real case for Finals MVP (which is what Dryden did, before winning rookie of the year the next season).

It's also a super compellingly written decision.
