if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.

Los Angeles Dodgers win back-to-back titles, cement modern dynasty It only took the greatest baseball game I've ever seen in my life.

This is kind of incredible.
As i was watching Yamamoto pitch in Game 7, i was thinking, "im pretty sure this the tensest, least likely, most difficult baseball thing i sure hope somebody can do Baseball-Math to prove it"

they proved it.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Getting hit in the chest from point blank range with a footlong sub and an enormous Peckinpah-style squib of sweet onion teriyaki sauce explodes from my chest.

if you haven’t read this is how you lose the time war you’re not gonna make it tbh

Your eyes didn't deceive you -- Game 7 really did have the most wild swings all time Game 7 of the 2025 World Series was one of the wildest, and to some extent that’s expressed as easily as “a deciding World Series game went to extra innings,” which had happened just twice before in b...

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

I bet I could redo parts of it in rust. Shapely has also been significantly rewritten since, so that’s probably faster now.

I should upgrade my old python library that makes those.

An all time classic World Series. It’s a shame someone had to lose.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto won Games 2, 6 and 7 of the World Series. He threw a complete game in Game 2, six innings and 96 pitches on Friday and came back Saturday to throw 2.2 scoreless innings on 34 pitches and induce the World Series-winning double play. A legendary performance.

Turn the clock back and watch the last couple innings again. That's how this works, right?

was kinda hoping baseball wouldn’t end

I love LA

Game 6: W, Yamamoto
Game 7: W, Yamamoto

I don't even know what to feel here. Can they just keep playing?

Vin Scully would be loving this.

The Dodgers only ever hit solo home runs. The loneliest home runs.

Will Smith!

And now it’s a Sunday game.

A wild-eyed Christopher Lloyd explaining that the only way to close the inter-dimensional wormhole from the Cubs winning the World Series is to play another World Series in the "null hour" when clocks are turned back.

Winner-take-all World Series games to go extras:

2025
2016, 10 innings
1997, 11
1991, 10
1924, 12
1912 g8, 10

There are games where nothing happens, and there are innings where decades happen.
