It’s a shame Bluesky is asleep and missing the Jake Bauers “I only kept playing because I needed health insurance” story because boy does that say a lot about Everything

I'm a #Brewers fan, but I love that #Padres fans for the next two decades will be wearing t-shirts that say, "Goddammit, Merrill!"

The ImmaCable Reception #Brewers

🎉 Cover Reveal Day! 🥳 So jazzed to show off the cover of RESOLUTE DEATH, my academic mystery novel debuting on 28 October! Preorder info here (plus bonus audio narration of the opening Prelude): jajablonski.com/books/ (Book description in alt-text.) #AcademicMystery #CollegeMystery #CollegeCrime

I've read this - intriguing premise and plot execution, nicely styled dialogue, and well researched, including the historical illustrations. Recommended!

Semantics question: are you "bingeing" a series if you watch just one episode per evening?

Same

Of all the crappy types of roster moves, the DFA of a relief pitcher who just saved your bullpen by mopping up over multiple innings has to rank near the top. #Brewers

I don't know spit from shinola about FIFA and the business of international football, but from the headlines it reads like Infantino has been taking meetings with Edwin Akufo.

I tried to write a Hermes joke, but I'll just have to wing it.

The good news is the N95 masks seem to filter out some of the wildfire smoke, as reported. There's a huge difference in smoky smell with and without the mask.

As a centrist, I'm rooting for Andorra.

Glad you all enjoyed the Home Run Derby. We rewatched the first episode of Zen. Our Italian vacation. IMDb: Zen (2011) www.imdb.com/title/tt1618...

France v Morocco ref looks like Christian Yelich. Apropos of nothing

After the defenders clear the ball upfield, I keep expecting them to go for a line change. #confused

Incredible! I wonder if they will make a movie about this match, Miracle Not On Ice.

Tired: "Bobby Bonilla Day", heh heh heh. Wired: A million a year? He's getting rooked! Inspired: Eliminate the FICA cap on taxable earnings, even on Bobby Bonilla Day.

Rah! Rah! Rah! We beat part of Yugoslavia!

Clearly, the markets disapprove of the Giannis trade. S&P off nearly 1%.

Never a doubt. #Brewers

Next field goal wins in this 3 OT Brewers A's debacle.

Unpopular opinion: I don't hate the ghost runner extra innings rule during the regular season.

Apparently my best chess.com strategy is to blunder early, wait for my equally rated, inept opponent to miss the opportunity to take advantage of it while I make sidestepping escape moves, and then checkmate them without realizing it.

I was just saying this to someone at the pregame tailgate

Congrats to Dartmouth Men's Hockey, 2026 ECAC tournament champions! Surpassed the 1979 and 1980 squads that finished second in the East during my college years. Makes this WDCR/WFRD sportscasting alumnus very happy. On to the Regionals!

Still recall a Joe Garagiola feature about baseball in Italy that aired on the Today Show in the 1970s. "Error-e! Error-e!" shouted the exuberant fans in unison, like a football chant. Congrats!

Thanks, hon! Game's already a barnburner, would have been a total crusher to miss it! How could I have slept throughzzzzzzzzzzz

RIP Bill Mazeroski, HOF second baseman for the #Pirates. I'm reliably informed that I was in the crib listening to the radio broadcast when he hit his Game 7 walk-off home run to defeat the Yankees in the 1960 World Series. I trust my source.

Nobody at the IOC: Absolutely nobody at the IOC: Me: "Halfpipe Monobob" IOC: ...so, more Curling, then

MONOBOB!

MONOBOB! #monobob

After which time, ageism in the Cretaceous job market took its toll.

The SNL Contractual Obligation season continues.

Said it before: a penalty shot foul in hockey should result in a penalty shot *plus* two-minutes in the box.

Bray of Pigs

This hasn't felt like Friday, the whole day.

I've been a sports fan for life, my favorite team has a great coach (manager), and even so, I agree with the epithet "gym teachers".
