Every single wound that MLB has endured since 1901 has been self-inflicted.

two parts mayonnaise
one part ketchup
some Worcestershire sauce
some garlic powder
layer of black pepper

every finger place sauce is basically this, and it’s the only thing that makes Cane’s decent because they don’t season their chicken

Hmmm. I wonder why there seem to be so many gambling scandals involving athletes. Here’s an article from a media outlet with a relationship with MGM Bet

Fitting that we get a Stanley Cup Game 7 OT atmosphere in a Canadian World Series.

Friendly reminder that Republicans are garbage, entirely devoid of empathy, compassion, or honor. They are terrified little babies who are filled with hate, scared to death of anything they don't understand. And they don't understand most things, because they are also deeply incurious.

Well done. No notes. Hope there’s a record player in that room and a shelf of vinyl….

Random #WorldSeries thing that only I (and maybe @jaysonst.bsky.social) may find interesting:
Graig Nettles made his MLB debut in 1967. In his final season, he was a teammate of Randy Johnson on the Expos, who was a teammate of Max Scherzer at the Diamondbacks, who is active with Toronto tonight.

How’s this for an omen: Hal Newhouser and Mickey Lolich are the only two Tigers leftys to win a "winner-take-all" postseason game. BOTH did it on October 10th. Skubal would become the third if the Tigers win. #mlbpostseason @jaysonst.bsky.social
