Rooting for this team is exhausting

Credit to the Tigers, who basically spent exactly 12 months as a god-tier baseball team before turning back into a pumpkin. Just mistimed the window, boys.

The thing about watching the Lions do this is I am unkillable

I’m never going to die

The Lions retain the Mandate of Heaven

HUTCH

The Lions are perfect stewards of Honorable Ball (good natured himbos who aren’t afraid to die)

Yeah, the Lions are going to be just fine

18 plays, 98 yards for a touchdown. 10:48 off the clock. That drive was so hot.

somebody said we’re talking about The Rapture? www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGk6...

Put another way, Blake Treinen meet me in the parking lot

Everyone congratulate Ben on his new job as COO at Connor Stalions' vacuum repair business!

We did it! You can make pals on the internet!

look it’s the least important thing to happen as a result of all of the terrible stuff happening, but my favorite coffee roaster no longer delivers to the US because of Trump and I’m going to have withdrawal symptoms

Don’t tell @brianphillips.bsky.social I said this but he did a very good blog about the thing I can’t stop yelling about www.theringer.com/2025/09/19/p...

Wednesday: A timely reported feature on the distinctive out pitch of the hottest closer in baseball as he's reshaping the NL pennant race. Using a blend of stats and narrative writing to place Jhoan Duran's splinker in the context of 50 years of pitching evolution

This is about the splinker, the splitter, Bruce Sutter, a fastball that's actually a changeup, a changeup that's actually a fastball, Jhoan Duran, and what one man can do for 5.4 million people's undiagnosed anxiety disorders

[flipping a tarot card and it's a bullpen engulfed in flames] me: is that good

Dodgers became 1st team since at least 1906 to get 5+ no-hit innings from a starting pitcher and have bullpen allow 9+ runs in the game.

Shohei Ohtani became the first player to throw five no-hit innings and hit a home run in the same game since “Tungsten Arm” O’Doyle in 1921. The Dodgers lost 9-6.

let’s keep this going, for fisher and for lindsey www.gofundme.com/f/fisher-rec...

Please donate if you can. This is heartbreaking, and Fisher and Lindsey deserve our help

Fisher is a great dog who could use all of our help right now.

Fisher is the first and to date only dog I’ve ever taken for a walk. He did great; really showed me the ropes. He’s a wonderful fuzzy guy, worth helping.

I think I would die for this kid?

Alright well the Lions seem to have realized the season started

This is a nice quote that absolutely ignores the fact that Americans of all political leanings decided Arabs and Muslims were the enemy and went out of their way to make their lives hell across the country.

What an expertly called shot

happy 5th birthday to @defector.com, the only outlet (besides my personal blog) that has allowed me to write about birds multiple times defector.com/author/matt-...

remember the offseason when the Dodgers were ruining baseball? those headlines were laughably wrong. but the Dodgers *are* kinda ruining baseball through their casual indifference to the regular season:

The Dodgers are the first team on record to lose a no-hit bid in the ninth twice in a 3-game span

A family in our row left before the 9th and I was like “how could they leave with three outs left in a no-hitter” but maybe they saw Tanner Scott was warming up and just knew he was gonna blow it

Oh look the most predictable thing imaginable happened

Michael Conforto getting a hit is like the worst guy you know making a great point

Look the Lions were awful today but that’s one of the coolest touchdowns I’ll watch all year

The Lions look awful, so that’s fun

I am out of words for how infuriating watching the Dodgers is

If I see Jackson Holliday it’s on sight

Duke has missed about a million opportunities to take over this game. Three drops (two for touchdowns), a muffed punt inside their own 20, missed tackles on third and long. Good grief.

Begging Duke’s receivers to make one (1) catch when the ball hits them in the hands

Holy shit www.golongtd.com/p/house-of-d...

The tennis is so unbelievably good

Time to remember some Pistons Guys

I’ve remembered all of the Tigers Guys

My official Duke alum statement on this game: lol

I’m not sure Texas is good but I’m also not sure Ohio State is good. I can’t wait to overreact to this game
