The greatest baseball game ever played I was 22 years old for Game 6 of the 2011 World Series, a few months out of college in an era that will inevitably cultivate cultural nostalgia but for which I feel little warmth. We were still in …

I don’t know if, objectively, Saturday was a better game than Game 6 of the 2011 World Series, but you could make the case it was, and that’s so cool. stlbullpen.com/2025/11/04/d...

Dick Cheney had a gay daughter so he moderated on gay rights. He had an anti-Trump daughter so he took anti-Trump stances. Tragically, he never had an Iraqi daughter.

One time Dick Cheney shot a guy while he was the sitting Vice President and it was the funniest moment of his public life. What a life!

Tragic news as Dick Cheney had lived to the age of 84

“I live in the cultural capital of America, if not the world. It is the home of premier versions of every food, robust arts, rich history. The best part of the city is we have small stores where you can buy some things.”

The bodega thing is so funny not because it’s a way of dunking on New Yorkers: it’s because New York rules in just about every way, and one of the ripple effects of their amazing public transit system is that they don’t have big gas stations. It’s worth that loss!

I will support any New York mayoral candidate who admits bodegas are just convenience stores and everywhere in the world has them

Are they doing the “Bernie isn’t even a Democrat!” thing in a case where he, objectively, is one?

This is me and State Trooper

I’ve seen worse movies than the LeBron Space Jam (though it is indeed not good) but I felt like that movie had active contempt for me. I was in my 30s, it wasn’t For Me, but it was aggressive in how little respect it had for anybody watching it.

even when far rightwingers are having an extremely positive experience on all fronts they’re still able to hallucinate a situation where they’re the victim

A consolation prize for the Toronto-Buffalo faux-super-metro

That Indiana loss looked so bad at the time and now they just do that to everybody every week

Tired: football coaches that sound like they’re from the deep Bayou

Ethical baseball is hating the Dodgers and also hating your favorite team

Yamamoto has to be MVP. Ohtani didn’t do shit after Game 3

BRING IN BLAKE TREINEN

You gotta pick your battles. Rooting against Treinen, yes, he’s loud and annoying. I don’t even do the Kershaw hate thing, definitely not bothering for a guy for following some Instagram accounts

Fourth is How You Remind Me, which is *easily* the second best of these songs

Next up is Hinder lol

Hotshots giving Me Listening To The Point When I Was Twelve with Nookie and Bound For The Floor back to back

How do you not make one of the options “Gerald R. Ford Stadium” since I think most people at one point or another assumed it was named after President Ford?

Nails and weaves, less subtlety than a Transformers movie

I am asking once again for you people to just buy a damn antenna

The only Halloween song

Zohran is on so I’m listening to Chapo, which is a podcast where one of the guys is fine and the other one has the most annoying voice in the history of the galaxy and genuinely I don’t get how people do that every week

It’s so funny to me that baseball casuals believe that they have a full grasp on the tone of the sport. Like if you only watch in October that’s fine, but we talked about Ohtani all the time!

I think it was a combination of west coast and it was a team willing to let him be a full-time two-way player. There was a lot of suspicion that he wasn’t good enough at hitting to be a full time DH. Hell, I was pretty bullish on him and I don’t think any of us saw *this* coming.

It’s probably around 15-20 but in my mind it was like every other week, and it was always Remember the Titans for some reason
