![Listen to me. We don’t have much time. Rob Manfred is the reason this is all happening. He has compromising information on the most senior executives of the Red Sox, Tigers, Cubs, and Dodgers, and he’s not afraid to use it. I’m talking like, really heinous stuff, the sort of shit these guys would just never, ever come back from. No, not crimes, obviously, way worse (meaning, more damaging to future job prospects). He’s got pictures of all these guys in off-brand athleisure. I’m not even talking lulu, Manfred’s got these guys dead to rights in discount-color separates from Target, Kohl’s, and, even, in the case of one particularly embarrassed mid-40s white man, Old Navy.
I know, shocking. So, you wanna know who the Manfred Man is? Every single one of these gentlemen, and when the commissioner says we can’t have another year with four two-game sweeps in the Wild Card Series, well, they’re yours.
[A door bangs open]
HEL-lo commissioner, how are you? Us? Oh, we were just talking about the 2025 Postseason Picture, presented by Adobe, the best way to graphically represent and understand the road to the 2025 World Series, presented by Capital One and exclusively on FOX. What a dazzling bit of success for the Wild Card Series, almost as big as the STRAUSS logos featured prominently on every batting helmet!
[Editor’s Note: This introduction was written before the Dodgers game finished last night, obviously disproving the hypothesis in the introduction. Rest assured, BP does not claim that Rob Manfred pressured teams to lose to bring balance to the new playoff format, and the fact that a five-page spread was published this morning depicting various Los Angeles executives in ill-fitting Kirkland Signature windbreakers incorrectly monogrammed with the middle initial in the center is clearly coincidental. BP asks that you respect the families of those mortified executives at this time.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:m2tdiw6yphtre6p6m6skgzo6/bafkreifgzvg4xt3wabpvhyl2a4eqx7zasll5uxbxegck3fmmemqkol63g4)
