Andrew Sanford

Mamdani is not a radical. He has run a tight, smart, fairly standard local campaign. He'll probably get 20 or 30 percent of his platform if he's lucky. The one radical thing he's done is told the Times to go to hell. He has campaigned every step of the way like he doesn't need them, and he's right.

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

This World Series is the hottest club in New York. It has *everything*

This is one of the greatest baseball games I’ve ever seen in my life and I wonder if I’d still think that if I were a fan of either team.

Here exactly two years later, it's still true that the Texas Rangers won the World Series.

Trying to survive the last remaining days before a mayoral election:

I’m pretty new to TikTok but it’s learned to feed me this and El Bombi’s walkoff like every other day.

Get teary eyed every time.

This’ll be the first year I can’t take my twins voting with me cause they’ll be in pre-k, but the poll workers would light up and be so nice. It ruled.

This week, many of the parents I’ve met learned that I like to dress up in costumes (wore several for different school events + trick treating) and a guy I’ve been coaching tee-ball with learned I have wrestling podcast.

Closest I’ll ever get to a coming out party!

Kids done this like three more times since then.

Trick r Treating was a massive success. Many people wanted to know what my green drink was. I said Monster Blood. Correct in a way.

the millionaires and billionaires give us tiny candy bars and tell us they’re fun! meanwhile they’re dining on bars sized for kings!

Dr. FeAr is spending this holiday getting back in the dating scene (with some inspiration from #vhsdates)! Happy Halloween!

The World Series could end tonight and it’s very funny to me that this series ended up being more competitive than last year’s.

Even funnier that certain folks thought that since the Yankees got whooped last year, the same would happen to the Blue Jays. Nope!

When the pitching staff was the best part of your team the previous season you work out a deal to keep the guy who led the goddamn pitching staff! OPEN YOUR FRICKIN WALET, RAY DAVIS, WHAT THE HELL?!

Thank YOU, Nick! My kids and I were dancing around to these tonight before their bedtime. It’s the best.

Not in the Halloween spirit yet? @nicklutsko.bsky.social will get ya there.

A "Katie Porter moment" and it's just Kat correctly saying that she can't say much about the case. What?

Dr. FeAr reviews the 2017 Jordan Peele film Get Out! … but he is not affiliated with these scientists.

This just made my 36-year-old back go out.

Oh wow. That's wild shit. Fuck you man.

Dr. FeAr reviewed the 1985 film Re-Animator which features his favorite mad scientist: Herbert West!

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

Dr. FeAr reviews the 1996 adaptation of The Island of Dr. Moreau despite his connection to one of its leads!

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. just did one of the coolest slides into home I’ve ever seen. Holy cow!

Dr. FeAr is a big fan of David Cronenberg’s The Fly (even if Goldblum is too sexy to be a mad scientist)!
