The good news is there are a lot more options for paid extra legroom so at least there is the choice. But yeah, I get it's not free and being 6'6" I imagine makes it almost mandatory

Shane picked the winners so we didn't know what names would be called. It was pretty fun when I said, hey I know that name!

I always do! I moved to Chicago right when we traded half our team for Richie Sexson so I adopted the Brewers back then. I always fall back on it when the Dbacks are out

I mean almost nobody was alive the last time they won...

Brett Snyder @crankyflier.com · 27/09/2026
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.

Brett Snyder @crankyflier.com · 27/09/2026
And the Rays, we must all root for them too or this doesn't happen

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

Brett Snyder @crankyflier.com · 27/09/2026
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!

Brett Snyder @crankyflier.com · 25/09/2026
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.)

Oh it's open, but it's generally useless

Brett Snyder @crankyflier.com · 25/09/2026
That was a good one, but I still want the dodgers to win so we can control our own destiny

Brett Snyder @crankyflier.com · 25/09/2026
Oh yes, they have been getting some money at various points when they hit milestones, but there were a lot of payments that LAWA didn't have to make but they were making anyway. When the current CEO came in, he put a stop to that, which I'm sure just pissed LINXS off more

Brett Snyder @crankyflier.com · 24/09/2026
Ok, now where was I? Oh yes, time to roll out the barrel. Let's go Brewers!
110
Brett Snyder @crankyflier.com · 24/09/2026
I'm going back to my Dbacks who have now had a full bullpen meltdown and we're only up by 4 runs right now
110
Brett Snyder @crankyflier.com · 24/09/2026
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
120
Brett Snyder @crankyflier.com · 24/09/2026
Yes. Someday. But I really don't know when. LINXS is really just digging in its heels now

I'm rooting for the Angels to hit 100 losses, does that count?
010
Brett Snyder @crankyflier.com · 24/09/2026
If you really like chaos ball, then root for a 4 way in the NL WC in which case I believe the Padres are the loser

Brett Snyder @crankyflier.com · 24/09/2026
This would be a fantastic outcome.

Hold on, STL Aviation News is rooting for the Cubs? Something is not right...

Brett Snyder @crankyflier.com · 24/09/2026
It is quite literally the MOST desperate time. If the Dodgers win tonight and so do we, then we control our own destiny again

Brett Snyder @crankyflier.com · 24/09/2026
JUST TONIGHT. What, you gonna root for this guy instead?

Yes, well, I ran out of characters, but I'll let you, @briansumers.com, and @martysg.com fight over the Guardians vs Red Sox at 3:45pm PT. I am all for the Royals winning at 11:10am PT. And while we're at it, let's all root against every sub .500 team in the sorry ass AL West.

Brett Snyder @crankyflier.com · 24/09/2026
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
