The thing about baseball is that it's bad, I hate it, and it hates me

My sources say life in prison is being considered for whoever did the cover of I've Been Everywhere in that FanDuel commercial. I am a prison abolitionist and take no pleasure in reporting this.

Oh shit the White Sox are literally on a mission from God

Letter to Jerry Reinsdorf from the pope

I was pleased to receive the kind letter that you
sent
following the game that took place at Rate Field on August 11, 2026. I am most grateful for this thoughtful gesture.
As I have noted,
"sport can truly become a school of life,
where all can learn that abundance does not come from victory at any cost, but from sharing, from respecting others and from the joy of walking together" (Letter Life in Abundance, 6 February In this spirit, it is my hope that the White Sox will
continue to foster bonds of friendship and solidarity people, and thus bear hopeful witness to the possibility of living and working together in peace.
With
these sentiments, I willingly invoke the Almighty's
abundant blessings upon you and your loved ones.
From the Vatican, 9 September 2026
Leo PXIV

Yeah. Sure. The Phillies are down to their last shot. But so were the 1976 Phillies, just shy of 50 years ago. And you know what happened to them? That's right. They were called "the hollow men of the baseball postseason" by their hometown paper and swept out of the playoffs.

The Phillies left the 2024 season with an obvious need to upgrade their OF, improve their infield defense and overhaul their bullpen The Phillies left the 2025 season with an obvious need to upgrade their OF, improve their infield defense and overhaul their bullpen All 3 areas are worse now

Would rather have missed the postseason than go out like this to one of the most repulsive teams in sports

I’m sorry but we all simply need to ignore Liberty Biberty. Giving it negative attention is exactly what they want us to do.

They can also stop using the racist name and imagery! They can stop bilking communities out of taxpayer dollars to finance their ballparks! They can do so many things. The things they choose to do… sure are choices.

My favorite thing about Chris Sale is that guy who once cut up uniforms he didn’t like, who still touches 100 at 37 years old, who looks like he was just rescued from a remote mountain cabin, adorned in bear hide & mad at being found …routinely makes a body shape reminiscent of Stuart from MadTV

No idea how to describe this???? Ok uhhh let’s see… he just threw a pitch (it was 100mph btw) and is balancing on his right foot with his left foot and left arm strewn behind him as if to say LOOKWHATICANDO

Obviously we all had bigger expectations for this era, but if it does end up just being “they won a Pennant and knocked the Braves out of the postseason a couple times”, well then that’s something. You can make peace with that.

Maybe the reason the economic vibes are so off isn't that things are *worse* than the great recession but because back then we all thought the pain was temporary, whereas the things that are wrong with the economy today have all been getting worse for a long time and show no signs of improving

#Phillies postseason history: 1903-1968 (before divisions): ❌ the only original-16 team not to win a World Series Since 1969, more respectable: ✅ 8th in postseason appearances ✅ T-6th in division titles ✅ T-4th in league pennants ✅ T-8th in WS championships __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social

What too many Democrats fail to realize is that when you flip on one community out of electoral "convenience," your voters recognize that you have no actual principles and that you would happily abandon them and their needs at the drop of a hat. Hopefully, some will look to Beshear as a case study.
