ME, THIS MORNING: Great morning to hit the gym! Haven't been in a few days. MY RIGHT PATELLA TENDON: You ain't goin' nowhere, bitch.

Michigan 🤝 Michigan State Firing coaches for cause

ZELENSKYY: (wanking motion)

It's all gone to hell for BYU.

This is when the arrested should be spinning the tallest of tales.

Andor.

Before ASU's season, the consensus forecast was they*could* go as far as least season – but probably wouldn't because the B12 is a crab bucket and some luck regression was due for the Sun Devils. With that in mind, going 8-4 overall, 6-3 in conference earns Dilly a grade of "Meets Expectations."

Nothing I've seen from the Lions this season has me thinking they're a serious contender.

My parents are in charge of gravy, using an overcomplicated recipe given to them by an high-strung family friend. I have nominated myself to make the roux, as the idea intimidates Mom and Dad. I'm fucking around with various chat programs for making roux, and one just told me 16 ounces is a quart.

In the pool (college and NFL) run by my sister's bestie's husband, I enter tonight tied for first with my sister and dad, who share an entry. In MNF, we both have the 49ers (-6.5), but a Carolina cover doesn't matter because no one can catch us – sending us to the tiebreaker of total points. 1/x

Then can we get Bluesky to label where accounts are from, like X has done?

My two favorite bands are the Beatles and the Pixies, so who knows what bug is up the ass of that music critic.

The kicking arts are amazing nowadays. You should've seen the Houston punt just now: bounced at the 1, bounced sideways to the other hash, then bounced back upfield to be downed at the Buffalo 4.

Not digging these all-red blood clot unis from the Houstonians.

I put Mr. Null's chances... at zero.

Neat idea!

Not since 1939 has Madrid seen such crimes against humanity.

I do not read major daily newspapers for irony.

Dodgers also clean up with NL Rookies of the Year (18).

Democrats fall in love. Republicans fall in line.

The user's avatar and skeet let you know how things are going for the Phoenix Suns. (Triggering incident was Suns guard Jalen Green getting hurt and going to the locker room.)

The number of rolls here CANNOT be an accident.

Everyone look at this

Big, if true.

If there's a bright spot for the GOP tonight, I ain't seeing it.

We may be watching the opening moments of the end of the Reagan Revolution.

EIGHTEEN YEARS FROM NOW, A FRESHMAN DORM: "Hey, roomie. I'm Zohran. I'm from New York." "Cool. I'm from LA. I'm Yoshinobu..."

Hadn't realized until now that Roki Sasaki's 3 IP in the close-out against the Phillies might've messed him up for the rest of the postseason. Sasaki's first four games: 5.1 1 0 0 0 5 Sasaki's final five games: 5.1 5 1 1 5 1 www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.f...

Watching the Dodgers WS parade on TV now after attending last year's. Apparently, this was the one to go to, as the motorcade is taking its time going through DTLA. Last year, it was a speed run from City Hall to the stadium.

Oh dear. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Seeing Rick Monday in the hoodie reminds me that twice last night he noted how cold it was in Toronto. Yesterday's low there was 41 degrees – a chill that would have Southern Californians (e.g., myself) grumping.

Doc Roberts is well known for trusting his proven guys far longer than anyone else would – and that tendency may be what the World Series hinges on.

ZAZA!

Ohtani's butt-out swipe goes 387 feet. Cool, cool...

WROBOCOP!

No idea how tonight's game ends, let alone the series, but I can say I'm content with LA's performance tonight. Fight, heart. That's all I wanted to see.

Stephen Nelson, addressing the knucklehead who jumped onto the field: "Moral of the story, kids: Don't be a toolbox."

Sandy Koufax talking to Doc Roberts, then walking down to the LA bullpen.

Drunk, high, and somehow about to be handed the job of sports editor at Arizona State's school paper – after thinking all summer I'd be just the *assistant*sports ed.

GenXers, exactly WHAT is our major malfunction?!

Combined line for the LA bullpen: 13.2 10 1 1 6 11

Freddie's second career WS walk-off homer, that'll work, too.

I like the symmetry of Muncy getting a second 18th-inning walk-off bomb.

Surprised Doc hasn't pinch-ran Kim for Max.
