People really be out here pretending that "All I Really Want" on Jagged Little Pill doesn't exist

What if, after 1921, MLB had decided best-of-9 was the way to go? Would best-of-9 be the default series for other American sports?

If you want to talk to somebody about it, you should absolutely chase that feeling, and talk to other dudes. But the women in your lives already know this is fucked up. I promise you. We know. Don’t make us nod politely while you process this out at your big age. We’ve got enough to worry about.

John Kruk, of all people, putting into words what so many fans so often deny: "They just lost to a better team."

Me, tuning in: "I just hope it's an entertaining game" Me, reminded of the foam tomahawks: "please, Philly, find a way to come back"

By ERA-, this ALWCS features the fourth-worst (Astros) and ninth-worst (White Sox) starting rotations among the 386 playoff teams since free agency began. It's the only time two bottom-ten teams have faced each other.

My random thought in the shower this morning: In Hunt for Red October, how did the cook know he needed to sabotage the caterpillar drive? Did he just decide to take action after the political officer died?

Lucas Spence led the #astros to a 7-5 win last night. To say that was unexpected is an understatement.

Lucas Spence is the third player in MLB history to hit each of his first three homers in the same game, joining: 8/15/26 Joshua Baez (MLB debut) 7/31/21 Seby Zavala

I can’t echo this strongly enough. I would also say that intense sadness about sports is the same.

If you’re saying “perhaps coincidence, perhaps not”, I think you should work a little on your social cues.

There’s no definitive proof that they didn’t mention him. There’s certainly reasonable doubt about it.
