Hyperbole cannot outrun the fact that three Tubervilles stapled together would make this woman look like Kierkegaard.

I was disgusted the #Cubs only beat the Brewers 4 times in 13 games. I've come to be amazed the Cubs beat the Brewers 4 times in 13 games.

I’m good with the Brewers winning the series because they’re so obviously baseball’s best team; I’m good with Tampa Bay being humiliated because the state of Florida wasn’t, isn’t, and never will be deserving of a Major League franchise.

My big takeaway from this #WorldSeries is that the #Cubs are completely screwed.

Tampa Bay Ray and the Milwaukee Brewer by Elmore Leonard

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Following Vin’s “the Mets win it!” there are 106 seconds of announcer silence, just the ambient sounds of crowd delirium. If that play happened today, how long could Joe Davis and, even worse, John Smoltz keep their mouths shut? Ten seconds? At most??? The elegance of pbp understatement. I miss it.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

A bit late to it but this was a lovely story www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

A photographer was taking a long shot of my wife and I (circled) yesterday as we left the Music Box Theater following a screening of "Bob and David Climb Machu Picchu." (We loved the film.) Then goddamn Bob Odenkirk had to step in front of the photog and ruin the shot! #scriptsky #moviesky

I hope the Brewers or Rays win it all. I mean, Cleveland already has a title from 78 years ago and they should give someone else a chance

Interesting piece, this. I’m surprised though that naming Pat Murphy manager isn’t on the list. Racking my brain to recall who he replaced. www.nytimes.com/athletic/769...

Assault On Precinct 13 was one of those films that forged its reputation in the UK. John Carpenter was made up by its success over here and told the head of the British company that released it he'd name a character in his next film after him. So well done UK film distributor Michael Myers

John Smoltz sounds like he's about to cry.

Shohei Ohtani is no Garrett Mitchell.

Smoltz is perfect for Fox. Just like all other talking heads on the network, he's wrong all the time in ways that are easily proven, but also never shuts the hell up so he overwhelms you with the sheer quantity of wrongness. You can't dispute him because he's already onto the next wronger thing.

Republicans Don’t Know Ball Update: A hockey blogger asked the two Michigan Senate candidates for statements on the Red Wings. Rogers: blah blah Michigan loves the Red Wings El-Sayed: angry rant about how the cheap owners MUST pay Detroit’s young star defenseman octopusthrower.com/what-each-mi...

BREAKING: Mary Hart has left the game.

The #Brewers seem destined to sweep the Dodgers. Also, per @mlbpipeline.com, Milwaukee has “the top farm system in the sport, and by a pretty wide margin.” Nighty night, #Cubs fans.

OHTANI’S BACK!!! Dodgers in seven!

Nothing ever goes right for the Dodgers.

FOX keeps telling the “Jake Bauers only didn’t quit baseball because his wife was pregnant and his family wouldn’t have healthcare otherwise” story like it’s a charming story and not a complete failure of this country. Which, of course, is very fitting for baseball.

The Brewers are playing small ball, in that they're bashing the hell out of the small ball over the fence to score runs

#Dodgers are going to get swept. Then the owner will finally have to open his wallet.

#Dodgers should replace Ohtani with the left-handed hitter in those New Balance commercials.

Can’t post this enough times

Up to the #Dodgers now to win one for Ditka.

so the final four are * a team that has never won the World Series in its 28 seasons * a team that has never won the World Series in its 57 seasons * a team that hasn’t won the World Series in 77 seasons * Dodgers

The context for this was Ditka saying there had been no oppression of black Americans in his lifetime and therefore NFL players protesting police murders should shut up and tackle.

Ditka said not running against Barack Obama for U.S. Senate in 2004, as GOP leaders encouraged him to, was the “Biggest mistake I ever made. Not that I would have won, but I probably would have and he wouldn’t be in the White House.” Glad you were too busy, Coach. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/s...

Have to wonder how respectfully the Ditka moment of silence will be observed this Sunday in Green Bay.

Coincidentally, that’s how long Game 5 will last.

I don’t understand why the White Sox like to strikeout so much.

I’m beginning to think the Brewers are good.

the world-famous new york yankees have not yet figured this technology

Story from @theathletic.com today could easily have used a headline that ran 107 years ago in "The Evening World" in the aftermath of the Black Sox scandal.

It has NOT been 120 years since the #WhiteSox celebrated a post-season series win on home turf. It has only been 119 years and (now) 358 days.

That was the famous #WhiteSox "Hitless Wonders" team, which hit an American League-worst .230 with a league-low 7 HR. I wonder who they beat? Must have been one, star-crossed outfit. Cursed, even.

I didn’t used to think much of Mattress Mack, but this is cool.

Reminder: Back in early April, the #Cubs won two of three in Tampa, so if #Rays win the World Series, the Cubs will be declared #MLB champions.

If Cleveland pulls Rajai Davis out of the dugout to pinch-hit, #WhiteSox are sunk.

How was your Sunday? Mine was splendid. @ericidle.bsky.social dropped in. #chicagohumanities

BREAKING: #Padres petitioning MLB to let them just play #Cubs again.

Player of the game.

Also, does it really matter since the #WhiteSox are going to win the World Series anyway?

A brutal loss, but Brewers figured to win the Misiorowski start. I'll settle for #Padres winning in four.
