just like Paul Skenes was almost in the Air Force, Team USA almost won the WBC

They canceled his citizenship interview and he drove in the winning run to beat the US. Eugenio Suarez is a gem.

An overconfident Team USA getting embarrassed by a much smaller country in front of a global audience is their last and most beautiful tribute to the American military yet

team usa having to stand in line to go get their little participation medals and pep talk from manfred is so goddamn funny

thinking about the hero of this game for Team Venezuela, Eugenio Suárez, and his comments about ICE’s effect on Latino baseball players just last week

VAMOS VENEZUELAAAAAA

LET'S GOOOOOOOO

What an amazing showcase for contemporary Major League Baseball, and here to tell you all about it is the man who hates it most, John Smoltz

does Joe Davis not know that Luisangel is no longer on the Mets lol

“Every day during the regular season you see a bad team beat a good team” how about FUCK YOU

So you’re telling me that an extremely talented Mets starter is getting no run support whatsoever? Well I’ll be

Nolan looked sharp and I am very proud of him

seems pretty unpatriotic how few of the Team USA players sang along to our national anthem, but what do I know

@jenramose.online am I insane or did they boo the US????

I assume this is what being at the vegas sphere is like

???

CRYING LETS GO VENEZUELA

Venezuela!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@jenramose.online what’s the decibel situation like

"and we check in on Ken Rosenthal" ok I'll check in on my mute button

Remember Javier Bardem is the cinema's most terrifying villain. That was Salazar from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales saying 'Free Palestine.'

Italy/Venezuela you have my complete and total allegiance now

god DAMN IT

this is correct

In Memoriams always get me but boy I’m sobbing

Really disrespectful for them to continue awarding Best Animated Short after Kobe won

conan is the GOAT

I’m such a sucker for putting the host into the movie scenes

It’s Christmas for Tinseltown!

VENEZUELAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

VENEZUELAAAAAAA

tomorrow night is both the Oscars and the DR vs US WBC game which is truly the most Abigail-coded evening I could imagine

Cal Raleigh:

yeah, i gotta root for team DR to win this whole WBC. too talented, too cool, it's undeniable

tell em

I think it's good and not at all concerning or disabling that whenever the weather is even a little bad my knee that had cartilage taken out of it to be put in my ankle 14 years ago swells up and gets stiff and hurts and makes it hard to walk :)

this thread is incredible

I think there is something to explore that many nations at the WBC have come showing what they love about their country (dancing, celebration, tradition) to represent the people while the American team has shown up representing and only celebrating the military

don't stop there, all teams should agree that the first to 81 points wins as a permanent tribute to kobe. every team should be renamed the kobes. basketball? you're playing kobeball, brother.

oh I LOVE this

MAMMA MIA THAT'S A SPICY BALLGAME

Bam Adebayo scores 83 during Oscars week, more like Bamnet….Bam-Net…. Bam!net (swishing sound)

@davidlsims.bsky.social a new hat for you

hm.

made it through 35 minutes of the USA Mexico game before I couldn't stomach the announcer circle jerk any longer

Apparently Eugenio Suarez had his citizenship application taken off the books because he's Venezuelan and his response was "it is what it is."

wow!!!
