Not sure Bauer will make it through more extra innings

Baseball Tonight in 2026? Another zombie show for Halloween?

Replay was meant to overturn the most obvious mistakes. Breaking it down to these microscopic, frame by frame decisions is lame

My 4 favorite pics from the NASCAR truck race, including my old golfing buddy Frankie Muniz

New hat! 🍉

This game is giving my dog gray hair

Welp, looks like the Guardians will be making that comeback

My thoughts on tonight’s travesty are summed up in this video

When my friends and I finally catch Liberty Biberty

Aww yeah it’s the first Friday night in October! Can’t wait to flip on some playoff baseball…

So that Microsoft copilot ad was basically… if someone is better than you, feed it through our AI, let us make it better and you take all the credit?

It was nice of Joey Votto to wear a suit with the anti-bird window pattern on it to protect our avian friends during fall migration

The Astros are out. It’s a great day for baseball, and therefore the world

Andrew Painted

Wanted to watch the Padres but didn’t want to spend $13.99 for 2-3 games. Went to a sports bar, they also didn’t want to pay for Peacock. Went to another one, they didn’t either. Guess I’m watching hockey tonight! Was this what you had in mind MLB?

Playoff wishlist in order: 1. Padres World Series 2. If not, then White Sox-Brewers for the Andrew Vaughn revenge series. 3. And finally, if neither of those, then any series with the Dodgers being swept

To all Senators and Congressmen, I am offering my sports consulting services where I tell you if a team exists, where they play, how to pronounce player names, and other simple facts. $10,000 per hour, but you’ll never embarrass yourself with a sports error again!

2026 MLB Season Contest (End of Regular Season Update) - plus how my picks have fared. Someone had the Rays and White Sox in the playoffs to score big points. stateofbaseball.substack.com/p/2026-mlb-s...

There’s no real stakes on the line today (the Phillies, Dbacks, Rangers and Astros all deserve to miss the playoffs), so that clears my afternoon for one last hangout with Kruk and Kuip 😔

This whole time there’s been a hockey movie with a fight to the death involving a giant Penguin and I didn’t know about it til now?

This is the list of shows I’ve enjoyed the most since 2000. Justified should’ve been ranked much higher

In 2006, I was 20 and went to every MLB park one summer. We saw Justin Verlander in Detroit. After today, there will be no players from that trip still playing 20 years later. An entire generation has passed. In 2006, 7 players had also played 20 years before that, in 1986.

This post ranking stadiums I made in 2023 is randomly popular this week. I stand by it… Oracle Park is unmatched stateofbaseball.substack.com/p/mlb-stadiu...

The Guardians are in first place. The White Sox did all they could to stave off the inevitable, but sadly it’s over

OH MY GOD!!! That trampoline is mine!

Just spent 20 minutes looking for my box cutter… it was in my pocket

I hope they find a safer spot for him to nap while he recovers

I took a road trip to Texas and went to 5 baseball stadiums over 7 days and 2,771 miles. Here's the report: A Trip through Texas stateofbaseball.substack.com/p/a-trip-thr...

As the epidemic of position players pitching hits crisis levels, it's time for a solution: Teams can use a position player in any game at any time, but if you do, you automatically sacrifice the DH for your next game. Link: One Important Rule Change stateofbaseball.substack.com/p/one-import...

Those bullpen games really make me nervous I’m gonna run out of lines for pitchers keeping score

2nd Dbacks game this season. I’m just 60 feet away from Brandon Marsh and getting whipped by his hair

All those years watching the Simpsons finally paid off! I was able to solve this NYT Crossword clue thanks to the knowledge they gave me

"Man who posed as 49ers player faces federal fraud charges." I hope no one exposes that I'm not an actual San Diego Charger

He’s impressed I put a tie on today

He was the manager of the Portland Beavers when I was an intern there. Nice fella

It’s #NationalDogDay and Bauer is the best dog of all

This puddle represents the AL West. We’re required to pull something out of it, but it’s not gonna be pretty

The five Simpsons lines I’ve uttered most: 5) Homer: Remember, we’re in the Itchy Lot 4) Homer: Sweet merciful crap, my car! 3) Ned: Diddly 2) Bart: I can’t promise that I’ll try, but I’ll try to try. 1) Homer: So I noticed your home smells of feces

Lazy Sunday

Went through the alley to dump some trash and this cat was waiting to give me a side quest

The Pepsi ad using the Third Eye Blind song that includes the lyrics “Doin' crystal meth will lift you up until you break” makes me curious if there’s a new ingredient I need to know about

Should I take a chance on this unmarked van selling seafood on the roadside in Arizona?

Even Mother Nature hates those scooters

It was an emotional day, I had to throw out my toilet. I know I put it through a lot of shit, but it always had my back.
