Mike Thompson

I have to admit, I didn’t know pretending to eat at Cheesecake Factory was such a key part of Republicans’ identities.

What an amazing game that was! Though, after all that, for it to end on a questionable check swing call is kinda disappointing, not gonna lie. #WorldSeries

Was rooting for the White Sox. Bummer. Was an amazing run, making the playoffs after 3 straight 100-loss seasons. But to be so close to the LCS…..dang.

That was impressive wiggling out of that bases loaded spot. Go #WhiteSox

A “Joseee, Jose Jose Jose” chant still feels weird when it’s not for Reyes. #Mets

My hopes for a Brewers-White Sox World Series appear to be fading…. #MLBPlayoffs

Ok, regardless of how you feel about the death penalty (and I’m opposed to it), that’s actually incredibly ghoulish and horrifying.

I’ve lost track of the number of times the president has deemed me an enemy of my own country.

Until it is literally Nov. 3, I remain unconvinced Election Day will actually happen.

I’m not one of those Swifties who say you have to like every one of her songs — or any of them. Different strokes for different folks. But this is one of the stupidest takes I’ve ever seen.

It’s the last game of the season, but do I really wanna be looking at this clown the whole game? #Mets

I know there haven’t been a lot of highlights this year. But one of them, definitely, has been watching Bo Bichette’s defense improve in real time. He now looks like he’s been playing there for years. #Mets

I am this man, and he is me.

Really wish @mets.com were as good about updating their BlueSky as they are their Twitter/X. There’s some stuff I’d like to share with people who have wisely abandoned that cesspool of hate, but it’s……just not here yet.

I held it together until Howie began crying at the end. Pulled myself back together, backed up the PIX feed to watch the players come out and salute him, and when they played the Beatles lyric, oh I was GONE. What a send-off. Thanks for the memories, Howie. #Mets #MetsSky

Okay, all is forgiven.

I thought we’d all agreed Alvy wasn’t allowed to challenge calls anymore. #Mets

At least it’s over. I love Pete, and am glad he got his 300th in the place he never should’ve left, but ….. yeah, I’m very happy to see this series behind us. #Mets

Ok, after hearing Manaea’s postgame interview, I feel kinda bad for the players. How weird it is to be in your home ballpark and your *own fans* are cheering the opposition — even after they tie the game. It’s not the players’ fault Pete isn’t here anymore. #Mets

Pete’s 300th would’ve been a lot more fun had the #Mets not lost.

My fifth-grade self just loves that Ewing’s walk-up music is “Poison.” #Mets

Ride buggy a what. #Mets

A rare wrong move by Andy Green in what’s been a pretty impressive turn as the interim manager. There was no need to go to Lavender to start the ninth after he threw 21 pitches just yesterday and you had a pretty rested Tobias Myers in the pen. #Mets

What a buggy ride. #Mets

This team has been so much fun to watch lately. Would it have been nice if it had happened a few months earlier? Of course. But better late than never. #Mets

Really, #Mets? This is how you want to play this? “There’s a cold front coming”? I know the object is to sell tickets, but holy crap. How tone deaf can you be?

U-S-A! U-S-A!

Time for another “great moments in AI”:

Well, looks like Yan has significantly toned down his post-strikeout celebration. Guessing the fun police got to him. Booo. #Mets

Of course this would happen. Of course. #Mets

Such an incredible asshole.

Jeers to Apple as well for going along with this nonsense.

A huge jeers to Google Maps for going along with this nonsense.

Yes, the #Mets lost 2 of 3 to the White Sox. But it came down to the bottom of the ninth in both of those losses, and in our win we were dominant. Considering Chicago is a first-place, playoff-bound team, I’m impressed with how we held our own.

I’ve seen enough. Now that Polanco is out for the season, no excuse not to have Alvarez DH and Torrens catch from here on out. #Mets

I don’t wanna say things are grim, but we appear to have entered the “discount beef from mystery country” phase.

Now that’s a pickle. If you go to the game, you see the ceremony, but you miss the radio call. You stay home ahd listen to the radio call, you miss the ceremony. I’m very glad the #Mets are doing this though. Howie deserves all the celebrations, and more.

Assuming the 1B situation remains the same going into next season, it’s starting to get really tough to justify starting Polanco over Young. I realize Polanco will probably get the nod due to the contract, but……it’ll be tough. #Mets

“He’s our captain.” — Alvarez on Lindor, in a postgame interview. Yes he is. And we should just officially name him as such. #Mets

This is actually really sad. Yes, Noah’s gone full MAGA now, so my sympathy only extends so far, but this is a portrait of a paranoid man who no longer knows who he is, is aware he’s being used, and desperately wants to recapture what he once had. Captivating read. #Mets www.gq.com/story/noah-s...

Braves organist played the Star Wars theme when Bo Bichette came to the plate. I like that; I like it a lot. #Mets

A big ol’ smack back to reality tonight. Ah well. #Mets

Trump takes a break from fear-mongering about communism to brag about seizing the means of production: "We had a problem with Intel. And we settled the problem. They gave us 10% of the company. That was worth $12 billion."

Burritos are the new avocado toast. Avocado toast was the new lattes. Anything at all to shift the blame from their own terrible policies.

Oh yeah, this is all fine. Totally fine.

Gross.

I thought about going to the game today but I’m actually really glad I stayed home and watched it on TV. This broadcast had it all: great in-game interviews with players, the set started falling down, Ray Knight dropped an F-bomb, and I’m pretty sure Murph belched out loud on the air. #Mets

I love that Ray Knight dropped an F-bomb on live TV and just kept on going. ‘86 Mets, baby! #Mets

I knew he’d never admit to being wrong. That was the weirdest part about all this. I’m guessing Judge Jeanine might be headed back to Fox News soon.
