It's a good thing that presidential touchstone Victory at Sea (1952-3) doesn't end with… oh.

Via Wikipedia, loglines for the last two episodes of Victory at Sea: suicide attacks (ep 25) ended by the atomic bombing of Japan (ep 26).

So much to love about Brandon McNulty's Montreal win. A domestique, a servant with a scarred-up face, dons the rainbow jersey and stands atop the podium, shedding tears of joy, relief, and incredulity at the result of his own hard work and good fortune. What could be more happily American than that?

Does anyone have a gift link to Laura Albanese’s Howie Rose farewell piece from Newsday? #LGM

Sometime around now, I was on an A train back uptown. I'd been on the way to Penn Station. They let us off at Columbus Circle. I saw the second plane hit on a TV in the window of a bodega. Then they ran the shutters down. "We have to bomb them!" someone on the train said. "Who?" "Them! All of them!"

I'm no Fish fan; and I'm cautiously gladdened by the Mets' post-deadline Bad News Bears run from shame to belated maybe-next-year respectability; but, man, I feel for Sandy Alcantara. I've had days like that. You know you have, too. I'm relieved his day is done.

Tadej, man. It really can happen to anyone. Speedy recovery, champ.

Howie Rose my dude. My local supermarket is a Food Bazaar and, to judge by their produce, the last thing they need to do is keep it warmer.

No one should have to wear a helmet to commute, run errands, or tool around on a bike; but I’m glad to see Zohran promote their use. If he can wear a helmet, he can start wearing a hat this winter. America’s Mayor shouldn’t catch a chill!

If there’s a heaven, Louis Armstrong just put on his best tux to welcome Dolly Parton. It’s hard to remember in this awful time that our country has produced great souls from deep adversity to fill our lives with music and the spirit of generosity. They’re rightly our best ambassadors to the world.

I don't know what it served, but I got a kick out of seeing Wout take a flier off the front in the closing kms. He's back, baby. For me, as a spectator, the more cats like Wout and MvdP challenge Tadej on Classics-like terrain, the better.

Yes, we have the best TV booth in the business; but if I'm not listening to Howie Rose for what remains of the Mets' season, I'm doing something wrong.

adamdoesit @adamdoesit.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

I could’ve avoided some disappointment if I’d understood from that the numbers 6 and 2 in series are deadly to the Mets. 1962? Terrible. 2026? Terrible. (26/2? 13. Coincidence?!?) At least it won’t be this bad again til 2062.

It’s a sure sign of dominance to be snuck out of the conference disguised as dirty dishes. Presumably a laundry cart wasn’t available.

For his birthday, AJ Ewing gets Schroedinger’s Double. (Schroedinger’s Dinger would've been preferable, but.)

adamdoesit @adamdoesit.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

I admit, I entertained the fantasy that the Mets would ride a wave of wins into the final wildcard spot; but if there had been any intention of doing so, they wouldn't have started Stock.

Tfw you close the fridge door and half your delicious leftover gourmet Chinese takeout falls out and blankets the kitchen floor. Kung Pao chicken, stringbeans with garlic sauce, I hardly knew ye.

Seems like if there had been rain or dogs at every home game this might’ve been a different season for the Mets.

MvdP! What a finish. And with that, my bag of Tour de France is empty, and withdrawal begins. Only 49 weeks to go.

If their high-A team is the Cyclones, these Mets should be called the Cycle Fours. They’re dog food.

adamdoesit @adamdoesit.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

For a Tour that ended in the second week 😂, that was some stage! I felt bad for my main man Sepp Kuss, but he handled it with total class. Chapeau Carapaz! What a fighter. The more duro the mountain, the more duro he got.

Senga 1-2-3 in the first inning? I will not get my hopes up. I will not get my hopes up. I will not

Williams didn't throw it away, Baty caught it when it mattered, and Alvy uh took one for the team. Whew. #LFGM

Maybe the best thing about being a Mets fan is never having to worry about getting to or from a ticker-tape parade.

All filed under I for Ibrahim. Like Water From an Ancient Well is around here somewhere, maybe on CD. Gone to join the ancestors. Rest in peace, man of peace.

The next time someone questions your New York bona fides, feel free to remind them that Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, and Karl-Anthony Towns moved here for work.

I’m sure the Nolan movie is fine, but it’s Jalen Brunson who’s an Odysseus for the ages.

Well I’ll be. NEW YORK KNICKS!

adamdoesit @adamdoesit.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Watching the game from a neighborhood pizza place. I’d have better sound, picture, and climate control at home, and that would all be beside the point. My New Yorkers, they’re all the best seat tonight.

As a big guy and a lousy shooter, I feel every one of Robinson's free throw misses. Organist! Play the Imperial March.

adamdoesit @adamdoesit.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Even without the bad calls though? Spurs would be out-shooting and out-defending the Knicks, whose offense with rare exceptions seems to catch a flat before it reaches the top of the key. What the hell happened?

020

adamdoesit @adamdoesit.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

The calls here are like SCOTUS verdicts on redistricting battles. If it's against the Knicks, it's flagrant. If it's against the Spurs, it's fine.

adamdoesit @adamdoesit.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Bullshit. Wemby threw his head back like he'd been slugged in the jaw, hit the floor, and applauded his own performance. Nope.

adamdoesit @adamdoesit.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Knicks are fighting City Hall with the officiating. This isn't going to end well.

adamdoesit @adamdoesit.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

It's almost as though when the Knicks get into the paint they do good. So?
