The Braves, Phillies, Padres, Cubs, and Diamondbacks are all at home and these two are still playing. Baseball!

Two IL stints, horrendous luck on batted calls, and he still finished as the most valuable American League player. #royals

I hope there's a sign for folks dropping off people at the airport that says "D.PARTON"

Karl Ravech is a good announcer, but sometimes it feels like he knows Jessica Mendoza is so much better that he has to shut her down to stay in control. Let her talk. #llws

1) Everything’s coming up Milhouse! 2) Stupid babies need the most attention. 3) My eyes! The goggles do nothing! 4) The nymets are my favorite squadron. 5) On closer inspection, these are loafers Honorable mention to some variation of “this’ll make 3 Christmases I’ve saved vs. 8 I’ve ruined”.

What’s baffling to me is that people who watched this month of flopping, crying, and invalidating what few goals actually happen will get all excited to do it again four years from now. I get the draw of an international tournament, but the product is so awful and seems so fixable.

Ending the game when one team scores an overtime goal would be exciting and would save us from a lot of soccer.

I like to think Vinnie is hitting all these homers so his friend Bobby gets to play more baseball. #royals #wbc

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. “Your program’s still losing money, but the outcomes are great.”

What a fucking legend. I used to stare at the back of Wilbur Wood's baseball cards with my mouth agape. Wilbur Wood was like something out of the 19th century. Or Mars. May he rest in peace. Assuming he even needs the rest. Which, really, he probably doesn't. He'll give you nine tomorrow.
