One of those lies that university administrators tell themselves is that an athletics program drives donations. Not only is the Rutgers athletic program losing money, I wonder how much Rutgers is losing in donations because people don't want their donations going towards this. #RURahRah

I was in Israel and didn't have immediate access to news. But I figured I could call the venerable 718-507-TIXX and see if there was an option on the menu talking about NLDS tickets. There was. #LGM

I know a guy with this name, same spelling, too, and it took me a bit to remember why it was so familiar. Also, in the picture, he's wearing a Mets hat - he signed with the Mets in 2019, spent the whole year in AAA, and never appeared in the bigs for the actual Mets.

I liked Kevin Elster a lot, but he was definitely one of those players who you thought was much better than he actually was (though 9-10 homers was pretty good for a late-80s shortstop).

First last place for the Mets since 2003. Not even all those terrible 70s-win seasons in the David Wright-era had a last place finish. #LGM

During the war, I had to spend about 2 hours on a construction site, and there's no way we were getting to the shelter in the ~90 seconds from sirens to impact (they wouldn't stop work and move on the early warning, which is another 2-3 minutes). I was muttering nomissiles nomissiles like a mantra

I managed my HS hockey team. A dad got in my face once for not giving his kid enough assists and ruining his chance for a scholarship which 1.) the refs assign scoring and 2.) he was the second-line right wing on a .500 team in the second worst hockey conference in *New Jersey*

Has there ever been a fanbase less excited about a number retirement than Beltran? Third best player on the team in an era known for disappointment, it was his play that was the epitome of that disappointment, only played 4 full and 2 injury seasons with the Mets and eventually became a Yankee. Yuck

The mint ones had the regular hard mint texture and could pour out of the dispenser, but the Life Savers ones would fuse together and become one big clump in the container.

So the Lucas Museum is finally opening? I did a brief study for it back when the Chicago site was still in play. It was something to with the interaction between the museum and Soldier Field on game days, but I don't remember exactly what. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/17/a...

Weird and Wonderful, the Lucas Museum Lands in L.A.

A billion-dollar behemoth that looks like a spaceship houses the art collection of the “Star Wars” filmmaker George Lucas and his wife, Mellody Hobson. It’s an instant landmark.

Not the US, but the way the Leafs are covered by Toronto sports media (the Habs and Montreal to a lesser extent, simply because French coverage is going to have a hard cap on the market), including the national papers because they're based in Toronto for a Toronto-focused audience.

Sandwich/salad place in a mall in Ra'anana (really nice town, Anglo-heavy; associated with the South African and Canadian communities). Flagship sandwich is an omelette with hard cheeses, pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, cream cheese, lettuce, and tomato. It was 40 shekels/$13 in 2021, probably 45 by now.

All the various financial analyses show the best place for a new MLB team is the New York metro area (likely northern NJ), the same way the best place for a new NHL team is to put a second one in Toronto.

10 years (11?) after hearing Eich Efshar on Galgalatz's Yom HaAtzmaut show; one of the few songs where I clearly remember the first time I heard it; I *finally* saw Jane Bordeaux (my favorite contemporary Israeli band) in concert tonight, and they were so so good www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BR3...

I think this is the second time I've missed #4, which is only embarrassing because I've been there!
