The Yankees could end fan interference anytime they wanted by reconfiguring their wall or putting up some sort of barrier. They continually choose not to. This is the town that feted Jeffrey Maier with media appearances and box seats with Giuliani. They’ve already shown their embrace of cheating.

I turned off the game when Volpe tied it up with a home run, and woke up to the most sweet karmic justice I’ve ever seen!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Yea, strike the Dauphin blind to look on us. And tell the pleasant prince this mock of his Hath turned his balls to gun-stones, and his soul Shall stand sore chargèd for the wasteful vengeance That shall fly with them;

OK. I like falafel. I like hummus. I don’t really like chickpeas in salads….but I could try this. Is there anything special about how you roast them? Or is that a trade secret?

Zachary Kn𝓞wer @zknower.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Roasted chickpeas? This is a thing? Like, is it something you would actually choose over other bar snacks?

Basically, if Gunnar Henderson hits AT ALL this year, the #Orioles are in the playoffs🫠

Boykin: The Republicans control the entire government. They control the white house. They control the house. They control the senate. They control six of the nine seats on the supreme court. If you're not happy with the way the country is running America, blame the Republicans.

Republicans can't win free & fair elections—their president and policies are overwhelmingly unpopular. The overwhelming majority of US citizens want to live in a democracy; not a dictatorship with no regard for the rule of law. So the Republicans cheat. Endlessly. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/13/o...

Bonus points. If the White Sox slip down into the wildcard race, the Orioles own the tiebreaker over them whereas they don’t against Cleveland

I don't wonder "what if?" I wonder why, if he can flip the switch for this "meaningful" game, he can't do it the rest of the year. He has, inarguably, played well below his potential—for the past 1-1/2 years & most of this season. Happy for him, but does it take a "revenge game" to see him produce?

Write it on the blackboard a thousand times: they will have to demolish the ballroom, the arch and so forth. They will have to make a show of it. You will get the usual sons of bitches saying we don’t do that in this country. We do now. That is not emotion, it’s politics. To do less is dereliction.

… but then again that’s nothing new for the Yankees. Scott Brosius’ quote is particularly illuminating. He actually thinks the country was behind them! They really weren’t. When I click on the article the headline I see is “We wanted to win for the city.” THAT would be an accurate representation…

… e.g., I’ve been here for nearly 40 years but still follow my hometown Orioles. NYC is filled with transplants who keep their childhood allegiances. The Mets fans, the “other team” fans, the non-baseball observers… saw the Yankees’ attempts to make 9/11 about themselves as being pretty crass….

… inning stretch from that day forward. Most NYers are not Yankee fans. The majority do not really pay attention to baseball, beyond wearing a Yankees cap as a wardrobe statement. Those that do care are of course split between Yankees and Mets fans, & fans of other teams that were brought along…

Thank you for sharing. I’m not familiar with Garrett’s work, although I see he has done a bunch of these “oral histories.” To me, the article comes across as incredibly one-sided, which isn’t surprising since 90% of the people he quotes are NYers. It also feels a bit saccharine & surface-level…

Zachary Kn𝓞wer @zknower.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

I don’t know who Garret is, as the article source is not cited. And I would agree that “your little bubble” is a bit snippy. But “your bubble” would be fair, at a minimum. The national media have a relentless bias towards the Yankees, Red Sox, and other big-market teams. It’s really exhausting.

Zachary Kn𝓞wer @zknower.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

It wasn’t uncalled for—it was completely accurate. Yes, we all know, the country got behind NYC after September 11. But the Yankees are not NYC; and NOBODY wanted them to win that series. They’d just won 3 WS in 4 years. Literally everybody outside of tri-state was rooting for the Dbacks.

And even if he can’t get on regularly, he could absolutely pinch run regularly when one of our slower guys gets on in the late innings.

If Holliday doesn’t do that STUPID challenge, that AB starts 0-1 and results in a strikeout. Womp womp.

Zachary Kn𝓞wer @zknower.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Holliday really shitting the bed today. What a stupid waste of our challenge. We have a two run lead, and it was strike 2! It’s not about you, kid. We NEED that challenge in the bottom of the 11th. #Orioles

I'm not a conspiracy guy. I generally believe things happened just as they looked. But, being ex-military and working with weapons, I've yet to hear an explanation for how Bone Spurs was hit in the ear with a high-velocity rifle round and ended up with nary a scratch or a scar. It doesn't happen.

Our teen's transition from middle to high school this fall results in him having to leave the house at 7am, the hour when had been waking up the past three years. It's going to be painful.
