Congras to Pat McAfee, who is so soft that Charmin announced they're making quilted toilet paper out of him.

so you're saying that 40 years from now we're going to be hearing Chourio endlessly rehashing Yogi Berra stories while we watch the Game of the Week

8 2-out runs are most in an inning in World Series history and 2nd-most in any postseason inning

Regarding this World Series, I'm just waiting for Dave Wasserman to pop in here and declare "I've seen enough"

It was a short series, Charlie Brown

Holy smokes, Chandler Simpson

new @fangraphs.com: The bad send by the Rays third base coach was a Game 2 lowlight, but Liam Hicks has done a very good job on both sides of the ball for the Rays. he's just the second Wild Card era catcher to be traded in midseason and start regularly for a World Series team

RIP. Eric Bauza brought us such joy by breathing new life into classic Looney Toons characters. Loved his Porky Pig and Daffy Duck in The Day the Earth Blew Up as well as his work on Coyote vs. Acme. A crushing loss.

Did not know that the guy who closed out the 2008 World Series was onto a very cool second career

That was just a ridiculous send even before considering it was a catcher with 12th percentile sprint speed

Entire pre-pitch clock Red Sox-Yankees games were completed in less time. Glaciers formed and melted, empires rose and fell.

Our early vote place is like a block away so it couldn’t be easier. LOLz to the Republican state senate candidate who was canvassing in the wrong district. They never send their best

Earleir this week I wrote about Aaron Ashby, who’s been one of this postseason's breakout stars. Here’s a look at how his repertoire creates some tough angles for hitters and how his performance recalls the bullpen firemen of yesteryear.

Davis and Speaker — both future HOFers — led their teams in SLG and OPS+ even with 0 HR. Chandler Simpson… not so much

I don’t say this lightly: holy shit, what a find!

new @fangraphs.com: Postseason starters are averaging fewer innings per turn than any season since 2021, just like in the regular season. The reasons for this are myriad, but the bottom line — regardless of our aesthetic preference for starters going deep — is that it's working

I can't decide if I like the headless sweatshirt between Daffy and Porky better than swole Daffy or gay-married Yosemite Sam and Elmer Fudd. Giving Boomers the internet was a huge mistake.

It's because the Republican platform is simple: They want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it.

If you're going to address organizational rot, you gotta get rid of the MAGAts

Oh no, Trump's going to be so crushed when he checks in on what his kids and his friends and his appointees and he himself have all been doing.

new @fangraphs.com: my look at one of this postseason's breakout stars, Brewers lefty Aaron Ashby, whose repertoire creates some tough angles for hitters and whose performance recalls the bullpen firemen of yesteryear

Fantastic night of garage rock at Union Pool in Brooklyn with the Dracu-Las (from New Jersey) and the Courettes (from Denmark).

And here's the Brewers definitely not having anything to do with mean ol' numbers. Sure, Turkenkopf, a senior VP, worked for BP, which I think stands for Baseball Petroleum. And August wrote for FanGraphs, the leading source of reviews of ceiling fans, I think .

Look at all these Rays employees most DEFINITELY not doing analytics.

Will also be fun to hear about how bad a Tampa - Milwaukee World Series is for ratings and business before they pivot back to "we have to crush the players so small markets can compete!"

Brewers/Rays is the 8th World Series between teams that have never won one before 1903 Americans (Red Sox)/Pirates 1905 Giants/Athletics 1906 White Sox/Cubs 1907 Cubs/Tigers 1909 Pirates/Tigers 1920 Indians/Robins (Dodgers) 1980 Phillies/Royals 2026 Brewers/Rays (good idea @mikemedvin.bsky.social)

This is only the 6th time in the 32 postseasons of the Wild Card Era (since 1995) that both 1 seeds reached the World Series World Series Between #1 Seeds Since 1995 1995 Braves/Indians 1999 Yankees/Braves 2013 Red Sox/Cardinals 2020 Dodgers/Rays 2024 Dodgers/Yankees 2026 Brewers/Rays

We will have a first-time World Series winner for the third time in eight years. I don’t know what that number is *supposed* to be, but it sure seems an indicator of a healthy sport.

#1 seed 103 wins vs #1 seed 98 wins with a fanbase guaranteed their first ring ever baseball is, indeed, the best.
