I’ll say it again. This country put this…thing…back in office only four years after firing him for homicidal incompetence, after which he tried to overthrow the government. Anyone who didn’t vote for Harris can eat shit forever afaic

I just realized I got to watch the Seahawks lose twice in five days. Once in person.

And good for Christian Yelich. He was always a worthy opponent when the Giants & Brewers were both relevant. Happy to see him get his turn.

As a Giants fan I’m living vicariously through the Brew Crew, & not just because they blew up the Death Star. I see a lot of the Bruce Bochy era, 2010’s Giants vibes in this club, & it reminds me of when baseball & the Presidency was at its peak

The baseball industrial complex media is really having a hard time dealing with the Brewers dismantling the Dodgers. The fact that the Brewers were swept by the Dodgers last year, and are now on the brink of the perfect revenge seems to have stunned them.

Seriously what the fuck was Pat Murphy thinking? You could see in Uribe’s eyes he didn’t have it tonight. Entrusting him to preserve a 1-0 lead because he accidentally retired Max Muncy is managerial malpractice

The classic “I got it, you take it” from Chourio. Good thing he caught it. And that he already hit a home run.

Anyone aware of Snell’s brief & thoroughly nauseating tenure with the Giants before predictably chasing Dodger dollars understands this sentiment

My college buddy holds a pair of original Seahawks season tickets courtesy of his dad. He’s invited me up to three 49ers games over the years. The Niners have won all three. I fear those invites might dry up. 😂

I was today years old when I learned, courtesy of ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption, that I am 8 months older than NFL MVP Steve Young, who I was fortunate enough to be on hand to watch beat Troy Aikman in the 1994 NFC Championship Game. 🏈🏆
