Polls show that only 33% of Americans blame Democrats for the shutdown. But at this Atlantic staff Zoom meeting, that percentage feels much higher.

PUT IT ON LOOP

10+ strikeouts in first 5 innings of a World Series game:

Man. Those Canadians kicked the *shit* out of the Dodgers.

this is the Pope

his entire thing is going around waving to crowds and looking happy

he is also such a White Sox fan that this is the maddest - and most human - I have ever a pope look

Okay, but earlier tonight I proposed to the wife that Shohei should just play every position across the regional division series:

Let him be a catcher against the Padres; a short stop against the Diamondbacks; an outfielder against the Giants. Let him ump a Rockies game.

Just do it all, man.

The Official Site of Major League Baseball Coverage includes audio and video clips, interviews, statistics, schedules and exclusive stories.

I want there to be an MLB.tv option to watch every game with the Quebecois commentary.

It's truly a delight.

The stars were plentiful, and in the aftermath of the lunacy, one of them stood in the Dodgers' clubhouse, still trying to process what happened. Will Klein, the last man out of the Dodgers' bullpen, a reliever who had topped out this year at two innings and 36 pitches, threw four innings of one-hit ball and struck out five on 72 pitches. The last of them, an 86 mph curveball, induced a swing-and-miss from Tyler Heineman and a scream from Klein, who understood what had been asked of him and knew he'd delivered. Games don't become classics without efforts like Klein's -- and he had an admirer who wanted to acknowledge that. Into the Dodgers' clubhouse strode Sandy Koufax, his eminence of Dodgers pitching, who, at 89 years old, looked no worse for the wear at 12:48 a.m. Koufax walked up to Klein, stuck out his hand, looked him in the eyes and said: "Nice going."

Quite a world when a federal judge has to call in a federal official to specifically tell him he can't use tear gas on children in Halloween costumes

An actually essential achievement. We out here!*

*For the 12th and the 13th and the 14th and the 15th...

Genuinely thought I was hallucinating.

8 hours for work, 8 hours for sleep, 8 hours for baseball

Okay I think we can start having random past players join the game with wrestling entrances

Post from sports writer Andy McCullough reads: “I requested the great Dieter Ruehle play Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus” on the organ, and he obliged. Someone must deliver us from this game, and it might as well be the songwriter Martin Gore.”

SNAP is probably the most effective federal dollar we spend in terms of long term domestic economic outcomes.

that isn’t why you should support it; you should support it because it is a moral imperative to feed the hungry.

but it’s why even a growth-oriented ghoul shouldn’t oppose it.

Wide shot of a packed stadium.

Good evening from Queens.

New York is not for sale.

Hurricane Melissa which is en route to decimate Haiti and Jamaica rapidly intensified to category 4 storm. Rapid intensification is a hallmark of climate change, but that category is only a measure of its wind speed. It is also expected to bring up to 40 inches of rain

Man, I hate the Dodgers, but I do love me a pitching clinic.

When Anthonhy Burns was kidnapped in Boston in 1854 under the auspices of the Fugitive Slave Act, thousands of ordinary white and Black Bostonians responded with outrage like this and stormed the jail in an unsuccessful attempt to free him.

I think my favorite thing about "every city reveals its inner character" era of ice protests is that people keep saying portland is weird or cute or nice or silly when one of the most common chants at the ice building is people looking up at feds on the roof and yelling "jump! jump! jump!" in unison

I think so! Although it's an effective tactic which should spread.

But there's a unique hostility to Philly/Jersey/NYC which it really embodies.

MY ANCESTRESSES DID NOT BIND THOSE KIRK/SPOCK ZINES BY HAND FOR THIS SLANDEROUS ASS OMISSION

Let this be the craziest sentence I read today

Castiglione observed that every generation says its youthful days were best and complains that the new era and young people suck, and he was already mocking it in (checks notes) 1520.

If Philly doesnt buy out batteries, I'll eat my shoes.

Oakland showed up with clowns and clergy going dumb at dawn.

We stan.
