100 percent trying to hit Raymond on purpose, investigation warranted

James Shields won the last #WorldSeries game at The Trop in 2008 💙 He delivered tonight's first pitch alongside former Rays manager Joe Maddon!

Since a lot of you might not have watched a lot of Brewers baseball before this World Series, if you’re wondering if Bernie’s slide is kinda dangerous…? Google “David Vassegh”

Matt is telling this story because that’s where Frelick’s homer landed.

There’s a Seymour, Wisconsin. We used to get Dairy Queen as a team on the bus ride home after our cross-country meets there. This has been an important World Series skeet.

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

Elias Sports Bureau said, This is the longest four innings in baseball history.

This is where "it's just trans sports bans" leads you, Democrats supporting overtly genocidal policies that would kill tens of thousands of trans people. But at least we'll be marched into the camps by someone in blue, right?

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

We're minutes away from the unveiling of a Heritage Toronto plaque commemorating Diamond Park, home of the Maple Leafs baseball team from 1901-7 in Liberty Village. Fundraising for this historic marker was started by Bill Park and supported by our SABR Hanlan's Point Chapter.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

We went to Milwaukee a couple of years ago for Bob Uecker Bobblehead Night (no regrets) and caught this video of the sausages folding into the service elevator together 😂😂😂

Better yet, Garrett Mitchell has 2 regular-season homers against a lefty in his career. He has two in his last three at-bats against lefties this series.

Also good luck to mlb as they try to force a lockout under the “small market teams have no chance” narrative on the heels of the Brewers, Guardians or Rays winning the World Series. Whoopsies!
