Me, at the beginning of the season: "I'm not watching MLB."
Me today: *uses nefarious means to watch #ALCS game 3 because I am not 87 and don't have cable*

A reminder that he was once ours and that I have this face.

Not even sharing a piece of the pie.

He had a gourd time regardless.

I only watch the MLB playoffs for former Oakland A's, so today has been perfect so far.

Kind of rude for the Mariners to treat the Blue Jays like this on Canadian Thanksgiving.

His hard work earned him 173rd place. πŸ₯²

I told y’all last night that she brings joy to your timelines. In this piece, she loses to a bipedal pumpkin in a 10K and still smiles thru it

You mean a game can be just 9 innings?

I experienced a great shame today. I tell the dispiriting tale here.

I was thinking about him, too. He seems like a sweetie.

He does seem the most gentlemanly of the defensemen.

Some time back, there was a question for the ladies about which three baseball players they'd feel safe getting into an elevator with alone. Which #SeaKraken players would you choose? I'm thinking oops, all goalies with an honorable mention for Shane Wright.

If anyone asks, I am not watching the ALCS. I am merely seeing if my antenna works, and it takes roughly 3.5 hours to check.

Yay more people to follow! And to apologize to when they get butt puns dumped on them.

There's a 75% chance a non-evil team will win the World Series.

I feel like we were more worried about Utah, who is just asking for a war when they claim to do fry sauce better than the potato state.

Remember self-care. Sprinkle some joy in with the doom scrollin' and whatnot. I love you and there's absolutely nothin' you can do about it.

This is a good listen. I only heard about the latest "let's be mean to Ayesha Curry" chapter after a He-Man Woman Haters Club family member complained about her.

As Jemele points out here, Ayesha is just saying the sort of thing almost every mom says? Further proof the manosphere just ignores women

It was three minutes slower than my last 10k, but I did get this cute medal, a red and sweaty face, and a better finish than at least a few people who got lost in portapotties.

Even worse than my friend Michelle’s proclivity for peanut butter and pickle sandwiches are the dudes in here favor that more-popular-than-you-think spaghetti and ranch foolishness πŸ‘‡πŸΎ
