Trying to come up with a name for a fictional character born between 1940 and 1955 that would work as the name for a romance novel hero, and listen, this is what’s wrong with the boomers; that generation was given incredibly unsexy names. Other than all the Dicks, but that’s more derogatory, really.

Is Joey Votto the most spectacular person associated with MLB this century, and who could even possibly surpass him?

The October urge to put 800 witchy books on hold at the library.

Whatever else is going on, it's Fall and it feels like Fall and so my baseline is Girl Who Is Going to Be Okay, and I love that for me.

I am bummed that no other teams wanted to play Game 3 and now the Phillies-Atlanta Baseball Team game is at a time when I can't watch it. The first two games were so entertaining, I'm disappointed to miss the finale.

If I was the Red Sox I would try to win this game, but they seem to be going with a different strategy.

My 11 year old has more romantic drama right now, in 5th grade, than I had until at least college! Maybe that’s the difference between an extremely shy introvert (me) and an outgoing social butterfly (her). She is so like me in so many ways, and also she is herself alone.

There have been a lot of obnoxious crows around lately, but I’m wondering if, instead of being annoyed, I feed them and raise a crow army and maybe they’ll attack my enemies (people who park on sidewalks and in crosswalks)?

Feeling bad for Astros fans because it’s bad enough to feel bad for them.

Astros bringing the ethos of the 2026 AL West into the postseason, and it’s what we all deserve. This is our champion and the other teams couldn’t do any better.

There’s a part in the song Losing a Whole Year by Third Eye Blind with the lyrics “Why, why” or “Whoa, why” (idk which is right) and I always heard it as “Walt Weiss”, so now that song is in my head because they keep mentioning Walt Weiss.

8 year old went back to school today and of course I’m happy about that, but I miss having him watch baseball with me. I love all his little comments and observations.

Is just me, or are the vibes outside weird today? Just got weird vibes the whole walk to school and home again, and then a landscaper yelled at me and someone else for walking on a sidewalk nearish to where he was working? Weird vibes all around!

I love how Joe Musgrove was all, oh hey Cubs how about some loaded bases, maybe a shot at scoring, yeah? And then he was all, SIKE!

My only complaint is that I want the games to start at 9 instead of 11, but otherwise, I personally love it.

I need everyone to agree on a standard spelling, because I have muted at least 4 differently spelled versions of that commercial everyone is complaining about and I can't make it go away from my feed yet! 😂😭🙃

Well, none of the teams I was rooting for won today. I sure know how to pick 'em. I am neutral on this last game.

I have an in-person meeting tonight that I need to put on hard pants to attend and I'll admit I'm a little cranky about this fact.

The Astros appear to be uninterested in doing the funniest possible thing and winning the World Series. Typical of a 2026 AL West team.

Rooting for the Red Sox out of filial obligation, but rooting against the Yankees because the Yankees suck.

The ice cream truck was back today and parked right on a crosswalk. I yelled at him. I should have yelled at him more. Nothing, and I mean nothing, ignites my rage like parking on a crosswalk directly in front of school. This truck is now my nemesis.

I'm going to be low key jumping out of my skin for the rest of the day. That earthquake was less shaking than when the military planes fly overhead, not a big deal AT ALL, and I'm just here like

Yes, that was an earthquake on the Kitsap Peninsula! If you are in the area, you can contribute to citizen science by filling out a report here: zpr.io/UA6upKKXB4C3 to tell us if you felt the shaking or not.

I have a long story about why Jesús Luzardo is my favorite, but the short version is that I sat very close to the field when he pitched in Tacoma and I swear to god the air sizzled around his pitches, I could almost feel them. It was all all-time baseball experience.

8 year old is home sick and quizzing me on when all the playoff teams last won the World Series and let me tell you, I do not remember who won the World Series ever. It exits my brain the day after it happens. The World Series is simply not relevant to me as a Mariners fan.

I do not pay much attention to Atlanta’s baseball team so today has been a series of surprises. Chris Sale is still alive and not 47, which is how old he feels! Walt Weiss is their manager! They still can’t get people to attend their playoff games!

Resting Witch Face @amandalc.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Rooting for the Phillies because Jesús Luzardo is my favorite and I hope he’s actually okay to pitch.

I live cooking and baking, and I love my kids. But my god do I struggle with including them in the kitchen, even though it’s something I really want to do. It’s just so much to coordinate and some days just putting together a simple meal on my own requires executive function I simply do not have.

Making homemade pasta without the benefit of a pasta machine by rolling it out with a rolling pin is either a time-consuming fool’s errand, or a great way to multi task an arm workout and dinner making.

This is what modern romance novels are missing. You know I’m right.

Found a dual POV, third person romance novel published in the year 2026 and was so excited about it, then the book so aggressively meh. No real conflict and all the growth took place off page. I didn’t hate reading it, but I’m not sure what the point of it was. But so many books are so meh now.

Isn’t it pretty standard for a manager to hire their own coaching staff? I mean Dan Wilson didn’t because he was never a real manager. But isn’t that what normal baseball managers do?

8 year made a very funny statement about Mondays last night that I want to share, but also feel like it’s something I want to hold onto. But he is so funny it sometimes scares me, like you have to be really smart to be that funny. And he is going to be such a shit poster when he grows up!
