Obama has always had 20x the political instincts of whoever is technically in charge of the Democratic Party

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

(as someone who is very biased in caring about the Rockies) this is honestly sick

If you're, like, a 7-year-old Canadian kid who likes baseball, is tomorrow the best day of your life??

- go trick or treating
- eat all that free candy while watching the Toronto Blue Jays maybe win the World Series
- also it's Friday

The announcers keep saying that both teams are almost out of pitchers, but they’re forgetting that pitchers and catchers report soon.

Ken Jennings: “it’s what John Smoltz did in the 34th inning of Game 3 of the 2025 World Series”

Me: [smashes buzzer with my whole body weight]

My dad sent me this

“Mariners: ‘Well well well not so easy to find a playoff game shorter than 15 innings, huh?” Onion DeBlasio story but like, terribly done

this game is entirely too fucking much holy shit

No Kings includes DraftKings

kind of living for this supposed Taylor Swift-Charli XCX drama because I am so sick of the gays obsessing over these extremely overrated pop stars and want one of them to lose support. I hope it’s Swift because Charli at least has a personality

Thank God, I’m in the dick weight trenches

Same for New York

New York NIMBYs Turn Against Democracy Local lawmakers want to preserve their power to block housing. Does what voters think matter at all?

An underrecognized, yet persistent, lack of democratic accountability is shaping restrictions on housing development in communities around the country, Jake Anbinder argues.

btw I know some guys from my baseball world in NYC who had secondary relationships with him/his family and said he is a super nice guy and does a lot for youth sports in Westchester

I can always count on you Stephen

bitch I’m so famous now clearly

I have my eyes trained on the right things, like any great scout

ESPN cameras were focused on the LLWS broadcasters for awhile and I have to say Chris Burke (who I already thought was very handsome) had a massive bulge, Lord hammercy

where tf is Flande

me when I’m trying to cope way too hard when the Rockies are down 9-2 in the 7th

Whooooooo is this Dugan Darnell fellow, I have genuinely never heard of him before last night

Imagine if the Rockies were in contention at all. It’s the type of win I’d have been running down the street. Instead it’s just a hearty laugh. This is what they steal from you…

I screamed and gagged when I looked at the box score

they call them "the twins" in honor of the only two people on the roster

Twins ig page looks like their team plane crashed.

Defunding public radio eliminates a warning system for natural disasters. Going forward, the government must reach rural red state residents by embedding emergency alerts in fake AI videos of immigrants committing crimes.

I don’t think, I know, my soulmate is Yohan Flande

my son sat down at this and didn’t want to leave and I said what’s up and he replied sadly “I wonder what kind of person she was. I bet she was nice”. somberly contemplating the death of Cherry Lane-West until I told him it was a street sign
