Patrick is a stone cold freak for dropping writing this good into the intro of what is a useful, but fairly formulaic Game 2 preview format: www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...
There’s an element to sports that sportswriters never weary of trying to capture, hacking through the kudzu of metrics and quotations to get at. It’s the paradox of a sense of overwhelming immortality, mixed with a sense of how fleeting that omnipotence is. Athletes hypnotize themselves into attaining it, fans slurp at it like a shallow oasis in the desert, writers build entire novels constructing a world to provide it. The Boston Red Sox lost a pair of games to the Washington Nationals by 15 runs around the end of June, and then seized that invincibility and held it for more than five full weeks, enjoying a run almost unparalleled in the history of baseball. It was like snorting cocaine while on a runner’s high after finding out you’d aced a college final and fallen in love, all at the same time.

Unfortunately, that time happened to be July, and by the end of September it was a happy memory. Baseball took that perfect month and chewed away at it with its sharp little teeth, as it always does, pulling at hamstrings and snapping bones. And on Tuesday, the capricious and hateful gods of baseball took it and provided it to one Ben Rice, handed him the thunderbolts to strike the heroes down. For one day it was the Yankees who were invincible, led by the league’s best pitcher and a hitter whose resting face might best be described as vague concern, even as their captain stood with his elbows on the dugout railing. The New York Yankees are now, today and only today, the greatest team in baseball. But maybe not tomorrow. The gods need fresh meat.

it truly is just perfect that a republican — you know, the party that so badly wants to protect women athletes — used a senate hearing to confidently, and falsely, accuse a lawyer of perjury because he and his entire staff forgot that women’s sports exists

Just hustled to the airport from Target Center and will get some stuff up from the presser. A favorite highlight though: When asked by @shelbyswanson.bsky.social on Liv’s bright future, Reeve states “I just want to win tomorrow. That’s the future. So the future for Liv is tomorrow.” Much laughter

And the winner of the Mystics’ half-court contest at the end of shootaround is… special guest participant Elena Delle Donne. Team went crazy when her shot went in. (Including Georgia Amoore handing her jersey to EDD: “Suit up tonight!”)

This started as a story about a pickup basketball loss. It turned into something bigger
A story from Oklahoma City GM Sam Presti led to another, and then another, creating a chain of mentorship that stretched back 80 years.
