Kyle Hendricks is a Cubs legend forever. When your children come of age, tell them what he did. Tell them of Game 6 of the 2016 NLCS, wherein Kyle Hendricks and "Clayton Kershaw" faced off and one of them ended up folding like a cheap table.

Enjoy retirement, Professor emeritus.

why don’t they make the whole offense out of Last Five Minutes Caleb

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

lol

And this is what they call “the ole Chappaquiddick Farewell” in the Kennedy family, dude couldn’t help it, it’s in his blood.

look I shouldn’t have to know this scumbag’s name or be able to picture his stupid haircut. It’s a bummer his dad hated him and we all have to deal with the consequences, but this shit is exhausting

sir, the microphone will do the heavy lifting on amplification

Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin’s long post of lies and dehumanizing descriptions of a woman assaulted this morning by the secret police

can’t stop thinking about how this woman spent her taxpayer-funded workday posting and posting and posting about how it’s Good, Actually to have a woman dragged screaming out of a daycare. The empathy deficiency in these people is catastrophic.

seems like some of the Good Cops out there should probably start getting mad that children’s first exposure to law enforcement is their preschool teachers being kidnapped

Blake Snell’s audition for Uncut Gems 2 is going great!

Poetic, really…Dick Cheney’s dream of America realized

Spare a thought for centrist dem consultants this morning.

They just learned their ideal candidate for the Democratic 2028 presidential ticket has passed away.

Dick Van Dyke has OUTLIVED Dick Cheney

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

well, 101 days until pitchers & catchers report

Rob Manfred, with his foot in the middle of the trophy: “Thank god that bullshit’s finally over, go back to your shanties.”

Recency bias notwithstanding, I feel like Vladito and Yamamoto are two of the most astonishing sustained postseason performances I've ever seen. I'm sure Madison Bumgarner has a case but I don't want care to think about him at this moment. I'd rather think about the cool guys.

boo to the canned Joe Davis call

well all love Yamamoto, incredible pitcher, incredible series….but practicing his windup in the dugout is pure performative bullshit

i lived an entire lifetime in this reality and it was beautiful, my grandkids were at my side at the end, then i blinked and it was gone, but i have no regrets

at least mix up the Arrested Development tracks with some Mr. Wendal

Hell yes, baseball.

John Smoltz, with the tone of a doctor telling you the scans don’t look too good: “this game has had just about everything”

Nico Clement strikes again

This is hilarious. Sorry, Notre Dame but by law you’ve been eliminated from the Playoff by virtue of only leading BC by two with 18 minutes left.

This the least I’ve looked forward to a BC-ND game in 25 years. If you’re a gambler, bet against the Eagles every way possible. If you’re a neutral, please avert your eyes in our time of pain.

JOE DAVIS: what a series, what a game
JOHN SMOLTZ: if you say so

the road to 40-42 is going to be especially wild this year

The classic angry white Chicago man, but yelling at the feds? This is amazing
