It was a hell of a final week. Have to thank the Dbacks for making that so fun. Before I shift to worrying if we will even have a season next year, I guess I need to pick some favorites in the playoffs. Let's see a team win that has never won before... as long as it doesn't rhyme with Schmadres

Just remember Padres, you have nothing to play for. You have home field for the wild card. You know what? Don't even show up. You guys looked tired, could probably use some rest. If the Rays are reading this, please ignore. It does not apply to you at all. Fight 'til the death today.

Yes, the Dbacks are down 10-4, but technically now that the Phillies have officially lost, we control our own destiny... Until we lose. I'm just excited we are still in it on the last day of the season. This has been such a fun week

Let's see if they can get a game in tonight in Philly. Not looking great out there... #RaysUp

Suck it, Dodgers. We don't need your help. (But we absolutely do need help from you, Phils. Really appreciate your inability to score lately.) Let's go Dbacks!

You had one job, Dodgers, and you failed. So now we can all return to hating you. F the Dodgers. The Dbacks' path is narrow, but it's simple. Ph the Phillies. #RaysUp! (And congrats @themiddleseatview.bsky.social, you're in. Only other race that matter is in the dismal AL West.)

Ok, people. Marlins didn't listen, Cubs win, they don't matter anymore. Dbacks are up 10 right now, so let's focus all that energy on rooting for the Brewers and -- sorry, I know this makes us sick -- the Dodgers

Alright everyone, today is a "no work" kind of day. There is too much important baseball to be played on getaway day. For those who aren't clear: *Root for the Marlins at 1120am PT *Root for the Dbacks at 1210pm PT *Root for the Brewers at 305pm PT *Root for the Dodgers at 710pm PT

Anybody else watch this hot mess of a movie Freefall on @netflix.com talking about Boeing? Itʻs bad. Skips over the entire McDD merger that really changed the culture from engineering to finance and blamed Jim McNerney almost entirely for everything that ever went wrong at the company.

Strangeness... This is Rosecrans airport in St Joseph, MO. maps.app.goo.gl/UMZLnsw1eN63... Why is is on the west side of the Missouri River and not in KS? Apparently, a flood back in the '50s changed the course of the river, but the border stayed. Only way to get there is by driving through KS.
