The National League was tougher. It's that simple.

MLB pitcher Oscar Levis (Levy) was Black, and he was Jewish; a great new story. His WAR of 12.9 ranks 8th all-time among Jewish pitchers: Koufax (48.9), Fried (32.3), Holtzman (27.3), Roberts (23.6), Pelty (19.2), Stone (17.1), Mayer (13.5). www.jta.org/2026/10/23/s... h/t Brad Kolodny

Just for the record, the last time the NFL scheduled the Browns to play IN Pittsburgh on a Thursday night was 2011.

Steelers defense is the same as it's been for years: soft coverage and the middle of the field is WIDE OPEN.

OMG, the refs STOPPED the play on an offsides. 😲

The Bengals have done everything they can to hand this game to the Steelers, and the Steelers have "Pittsburghed" it.

Those Bills alternate uniforms

One final W at 🏡 for the 2026 season!

Packers keeping their starters in the game, down 17, in the final 3 minutes. 😬

This Mercury-Valkyries game is rough to watch. Total foul-a-thon. Might have to leave after the third.

The Pirates look content to lose games against LHPs. In fact, they don't just lose them...they look foolish in the process.

Love it

If the bullpen doesn't cause the Pirates to miss the post-season, their inability to hit lefties will be.

The Pirates needed more runs there.

Pushing the medical staff is ok, I guess. Wow.

Argentina's antics are an embarrassment to this sport.

Armstromg's first pitch to Gonzalez wasn't close. Called a strike. And the at bat and inning are affected.

7 + 1 = ATE #RAISEIT🏴‍☠️

VARgentina moving on again.

This isn't a repost... VALDEZ HIT ANOTHER HOME RUN. 🪄

I knew he was good at AZ Fall League, just not THIS good. Wow.

He is not having a season worthy of an All Star Game selection. Braxton Ashcraft, Bryan Reynolds, and Brandon Lowe were more deserving.

According to Baseball Reference, Bryan Reynolds has been worth more WAR than 15 of the National League’s 21 position player All-Stars
