Someone should track down the books for Newcastle and PSG as well, I imagine they are equally borked and maybe after a decade or so we can have football clubs that aren’t arms of a Middle Eastern oil dynasty

There’s something so charming about Santana still out there on the road and dividing his set list between all the old stuff from the Woodstock days and then all the duets stuff that millennials know him for

I figured the Sox were toast after they fell off and they suffered 300 September injuries, so this doesn’t bother me, not even losing to the Yankees. It’d bother me more if the July Red Sox were the ones losing instead of this shell of a team

Mox is great at commentary for the same reason he’s great at promos - motivation, intent, and hype. He builds up his guys and his opponents equally, explains motivations, kayfabes strategy. He truly was born for this shit

The only real bright spot of the Sox getting rinsed last night is they won't have to see Schlitter again barring a Game 3 relief appearance and the rest of the Yankees' rotation isn't particularly good. Other than that, oof baboof

Nice to remember that for all baseball has done to speed up the game, the things that still slow it down are excessive pitching changes and commercials, both of which are doubled up during the playoffs

The Rubber Soul box set is a remix I’m not sure I’ll like, one solitary disc of outtakes, the mono version that I already have, and the US version that I don’t want and don’t consider canonical at all, and yet I’m still pumped for it because I’m a hog that’ll chow down on that shit all day
