Updated roster news: no Aaron Judge, but the Yankees will carry Giancarlo Stanton and the Red Sox will have Garrett Crochet in their bullpen; neither has played a competitive game — no rehab assignments — since late April.

Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.

Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

Holy cow, I'm genuinely touched by the way this post blew up. While this thing is beyond repair, I salvaged it from the trash as a small reminder of the joy and fulfillment cooking for my family brings. Hoping a similar one (also Williams-Sonoma) doesn't suck and can continue the tradition.

My favorite spatula died five years ago. I have it in a file cabinet, like Ted Williams’ head, waiting for the technology to bring it back.

We lost a true warrior tonight, my favorite kitchen spatula for 20 years. Gonna pour one out.

This matchup of AL East rivals has a different flavor this season — and a fair bit of intrigue as we await roster submissions. Updated to reflect the Red Sox choice of Payton Tolle as Game 1 starter, followed by Sonny Gray in Game 2.

This should be understood as a cry for help. Yikes.

Typical Mike friggin’ Krukow. He had the chance to pat himself on the back. Sing his praises. Blow his horn. Boast, brag, flaunt, and gloat. And what did he do? He saluted everyone else. Thoughts on an unforgettable valentine to a Giants legend: sfstandard.com/2026/09/28/m...

The Giants wave goodbye to a legendary broadcaster and a terrible season

Mike Krukow spent Sunday afternoon surrounded by family, friends, and adoring fans who stayed inside the ballpark long after the game ended.

Was out earlier today but came home and fast-forwarded to watch Verlander’s innings. Glad to see that he pitched so well, and this moment was so sweet. See you in Cooperstown, JV.

A look at the helps to explain why the Phillies are still in jeopardy of missing the playoffs. BTW, Diamondbacks’s odds were 5.7% after Monday’s game but are now up to 31.2%

The winner of the AL Central division will get a first round bye with fewer wins than a team that misses the playoffs in the National League.

if the A’s/Astros score holds it guarantees that the AL West winner (and #3 seed) will not have a winning record

So if the Diamondbacks hold onto this 10-2 lead over the Padres, they'll be 86-74, one game behind the Phillies (87-73) for the last NL Wild Card spot. The two teams split their season series 3-3 but Arizona owns the tiebreaker due to a better intradivision record (32-18 to Phils' 28-24).
