oldandslow.bsky.social @oldandslow.bsky.social · 13hAllow me to suggest a 24 game season and 140 playoff games. Think of all the money the owners can make on the jacked-up ticket prices! Finally, I can trademark the “Late-April Classic” before Manfred gets his oily little hands on it. www.mlb.com/news/mlb-mlb...mlb.comMLB proposes 154-game schedule, new playoff featuresWith the Division Series in both leagues creating headlines this week, Major League Baseball’s latest proposal to the MLB Players Association included changes to the postseason that would potentially ... 000
oldandslow.bsky.social @oldandslow.bsky.social · 13hEvery spring training (for the last 20-some years) I’ve read a baseball book to get hyped for the season. Last year, it was “Veeck as in Wreck”, and yeah there’s some self-aggrandizement, but the guy was decades ahead of his peers. Wonder what he could’ve done if not excluded from the old boys club 010

Plan B: Find the negatives! Take, for example, "The Great One" Wayne Gretzky's 1st NHL game. It was played against the #Chicago #Blackhawks. 062
oldandslow.bsky.social @oldandslow.bsky.social · 15hOh yeah, every once in a while I get pictures from the top of a crane and it’s every bit as stunning as you might imagine 000
oldandslow.bsky.social @oldandslow.bsky.social · 17hWow. He even dismounted with that signature elan. 110
oldandslow.bsky.social @oldandslow.bsky.social · 17hInteresting. Do you have any literature I can peruse? 100
oldandslow.bsky.social @oldandslow.bsky.social · 17hSo between this and the police brutality settlements, half a billion dollars from the tax payers. Sounds like a particular organization is scamming the city and its citizens. 000
oldandslow.bsky.social @oldandslow.bsky.social · 18hThey will not allow another team to offer good ideas. They’ll probably install a bodega around the fence and we will never hear the end of it. 000

oldandslow.bsky.social @oldandslow.bsky.social · 19hNo joke, just yesterday i heard “Last Caress” and I thought to myself “hmm, this might sound nice slowed-down” 110

oldandslow.bsky.social @oldandslow.bsky.social · 21hWhy are Yankees fans amongst the worst? Remember when a couple of chumps attacked Mookie Betts? 000
oldandslow.bsky.social @oldandslow.bsky.social · 21hAnd, I imagine, those clothes were of a better quality, too. I’ve got examples in my wardrobe that were produced before the mass plasticization of our garments, and they are relics of a time gone by. 000
oldandslow.bsky.social @oldandslow.bsky.social · 22hHere’s another pick-me-up: The Goblin Pony, a French tale 000
oldandslow.bsky.social @oldandslow.bsky.social · 22hThis is a dark story, and I’m not sure what the lesson is supposed to be. Don’t freak out over plums, maybe. 100
oldandslow.bsky.social @oldandslow.bsky.social · 22hDon’t know why all the money-people want to change “ai” to “si” bc then people have “Slop Intelligence” 000

One of my favorite creative challenges ever, 2017 season tickets for the club, 81 little pieces of art that depict the club's rich history, from 1901 forward.

oldandslow.bsky.social @oldandslow.bsky.social · 07/10/2026If I could rewind 25 years, it would be tempting to study mycology for a living. 110
oldandslow.bsky.social @oldandslow.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Despite having accumulated some Sox things over the years, I think it disingenuous to rock the team’s bunting and bells being a Cubs fan. I’ll root for them, like I did in 2005, but yknow. In 2013 I lost a bet and had to wear a Pierzynski jersey to Wrigley. That felt strange. 000
oldandslow.bsky.social @oldandslow.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Mookie Betts has an interview show (you may be aware) and in the first season (I think) he interviews Yelich. Betts said he doesn’t stay in that hotel anymore! 160

oldandslow.bsky.social @oldandslow.bsky.social · 07/10/2026D&D is cooler than fantasy sports. I don’t think the originators of “rotisserie baseball” could ever imagine their jollies would mutate into the monster that playing pretend GM has become. 010
