Fall colors near Payson, AZ

I’d never played Fortnite before, but I downloaded it for the Simpsons theme they’re doing and won my first ever game. Everything’s coming up Milhouse!

Put those capital letters down! Capital letters are for closers

I saw Trump’s butt I paid

Election Day! youtu.be/3KPHwnLuYHI?...

Ugh

Just let us hear the swear words. It’s not like the FCC is paying attention these days

Kiké’s gonna be sore tomorrow

Those cartoon graphics of players are one of Fox’s worst ideas of all time

Now we’re talking

AW YEAH HERE WE GO

Ugh I’m still stuck out apple picking

We're one Dodger win away from getting to make this reference for the first time since the pandemic-

How do all these 300-million-dollar payroll teams not play perfect defense? The Yankees and Dodgers look like beer leaguers giving away free bases all over the place.

Vabysmo is an EYE injection???

Excellent start

Second most important baseball game being played tonight

Alright for all you idiots saying four-pitch walks are banned or you get two bases for it because it’s boring, then three-pitch strikeouts count as two outs. Fair is fair

Might be time for that All-Star game swing off

At least we finally have an ad that matches the mood of this game

Just a couple of graybeards in front of me

That’s not an ump, that’s a detective with NYPD

Greatest ever? Can’t even stay on the bag

Well now I’m craving KFC for some reason

Let’s go Blue Jays, only 56 pitches on Yamamoto so far? Gotta get to the bullpen

Quick someone take Marlins Man’s jacket and end his reign of terror! Although his bouncer friend might pummel you

IT TOOK ALL MONTH BUT WE FINALLY GOT THE DODGERS BULLPEN WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE

Unnecessary in-game interview: “Dave, you’re really working the count on Yesavage” “Yeah we’re working a lot of 2-0, 3-0 counts and making him work” Immediately followed by a 9-pitch inning from Yesavage

MLB is going overboard with the stickers on batting helmets in the World Series. At this rate here’s a preview of the 2030 Fall Classic:

If you're still deciding who to root for in the World Series, pick the Blue Jays, and here's why: open.substack.com/pub/stateofb...

Well I’ve got my plans for the next week all set!

The Dodgers Didn't Break Baseball open.substack.com/pub/stateofb...

A blue jay, steeling himself for the coming battle, knowing he carries on his tiny wings the hopes of an entire country, and the hopes of lots of people from the other country that also don’t like the Dodgers

I thought I could pee real fast during the pitching change. Then I washed my hands, singing the ABC’s twice as recommended by the CDC and missed the homer. Nooo

A burrowing owl taking their guard post responsibility very seriously

First time I’ve ever heard the Goo Goo Dolls over baseball highlights

Was headed to a protest this morning and my car battery was dead because it apparently ran all night trying to download a software update. Luckily I keep a horse in the garage for such situations. He’s running on original software

My favorite play today is still the Eugenio Suarez grand slam 😊

This time last year I took this pic of Caleb Durbin when he was playing for the Mesa Solar Sox in the AZ Fall League and today he’s taking a lead off second base in the NLCS. They grow up so fast

Dodgers bullpen activated!

Andrew Vaughn: professional hitter. Excellent drawn walk

Dare I live out one of bucket list items???

Well we on the Nobel committee were going to save this for your birthday but… surprise!

Stomper’s ancestors aren’t as friendly looking

Maybe stop walking Dodgers with the bases loaded and then we can send them home!

“The starting pitcher is pitching into the 8th inning” “That’s good!” “But the starting pitcher is a Dodger” “That’s bad” “But the starting pitcher also throws a great changeup with armside pronation” “Can I go now?”

Andrew Vaughn one round closer to being a World Series champion

Glad I live on west coast time
