September Cap Bingo was a disappointment: Missed STL, CIN, AZ, COL, KC and TEX. Here’s to better luck in October, AKA the playoffs edition.

Scientists observed a family of pygmy raccoons near a Cozumel beach club learning from one another how to craft balls from paper, an indication that the animals have a culture.

Nah, plenty of pleasant surprises. Emergence of Benge and Ewing, Scott developing nicely, Thornton, some promising and inexpensive bullpen arms. Lousy year but hopeful signs and a good young core.

SNY crew spanking the Nats for disrespecting the Expos and I am there for it. Respect the Expos and get it through your heads that you’re not the Twins or the Rangers. Drives me insane.

Someone decided the RIIIIIP of packing tape was a crime against humanity on par with landmines and famine and I like to think that they’ve found peace.

The Rangers don’t do Pride Night or maternity leave but their park has a sensory room. I thought that was an interesting mix.

Andy Green is sticking around as the Mets' manager, and I'm delighted. Plus: your Faith and Fear in Flushing recap of a fun game, and I get testy about interleague play. (Mets-Rangers? Really?)

In the last 15 minutes he’s let a catchable pitch go by, airmailed the pitcher on the throw, struck out, and challenged the wrong pitch to lose a key out. Not good, Alvy.

Beavers should be out. Get rid of the fucking challenge system and just go full ABS.
7th pitch called Ball 4, should have been Strike 3.

“These are not the people I interviewed to serve on the United States Supreme Court,” he wrote on social media, referring to Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Brett M. Kavanaugh and Neil M. Gorsuch. “They are merely a shell of their original selves, a Court that is costing the United States Trillions of Dollars with shockingly bad rulings that are of such magnitude that it won’t be easily possible for our Country to recover or heal.”

Beating the Yankees by 10 runs is a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Your Faith and Fear in Flushing recap also offers musings on player injuries, cheap shots at Yankee fans (fuck it, they deserve every one), and a plea for Andy Green to stick around.

Incredible sentence.
Indeed, while Jordan became a reclusive prisoner to his iconic status, Barkley lived to be out among the masses, and his nightclub hopping led to more than one mano a mano face-off with loudmouth fans. “Let there be no conflict in America,” Barkley said in 1997, after he tossed an obnoxious heckler through a plate-glass window in an Orlando, Fla., bar.
