NEVER IN DOUBT! Right, Dodger fans?

TOMMY EDMAN How do you think he does it? I don't know! What makes him so good?

In honor of Spinal Tap 2, this one goes to 11.

I AM GOING TO SEE 63 THIS WEEKEND IN SEATTLE I KNOW IT.!

60 home runs for Cal Raleigh. Incredible.

If either Treinen or Scott are anywhere near this game I will lose my fucking mind.

I’ve had a couple of adult beverages but I’ll drink to Roki Sasaki dealing out of the bullpen.

It sucks when something that is supposed to be a source of joy and distraction during this hellscape brings you even more stress and anxiety. This is a post about the Dodgers and the bullpen specifically.

Last year the Dodgers had no starters and the bullpen saved them (pun intended). This year…well…you know. I am without words.

“No words.” - Joe Davis

even for an unhinged presidency this week has been pretty fuckin unhinged tbh

THERE IS A MENORAH ON THIS JACKET WHAT EVEN

“The only man who has more extra base hits than Corbin Carroll this season strikes him out.” - Joe Davis after Ohtani sits Carroll down with a nasty curve

so one thing i want to point out is that he didn’t just miss one game, he also asked to be, and was, scratched from the september 10th game as well

If the Tigers can’t win a must-win game with Skubal then what are they even doing.

My friend went to the Colbert taping today in NY and said Gavin Newsom was on and came out swinging. She was very impressed.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

Me: this is the worst timeline. A memorial service for a white supremacist is taking over our media. I hate everything. Also me: BASEBALL! WHAT A CATCH BY JACOB YOUNG! I contain multitudes.

Friends I’m beginning to think it might not be the Mets’ year.

these details are less memorial and more nuremberg

oh fuck off

There is no joy in Metville. Mighty Soto has struck out.

genuinely believe that a large number of political, economic and media elites do not realize that nearly half the voting public did not vote for trump

Big year for collapses! Democracy *and* the Tigers. It’s a lot.

How is this the year 2025

Shut the fuck up challenge

Most home runs in a season, struck out 50+ batters as pitcher: 2025 Shohei Ohtani: 52 2021 Shohei Ohtani: 46 2023 Shohei Ohtani: 44 2022 Shohei Ohtani: 34 2018 Shohei Ohtani: 22

What 14% of Kershaw’s unbelievable number of strikeouts are against the Giants???

As much as I complain about the Dodgers, thank the baseball gods they aren’t the Padres.

READ THIS ASAP

We are a failed democracy and a banana republic with more creature comforts.

I’m at The Who who are melting my face off. The highlight is the woman behind me who is yelling out BABA O’RILEY between every song. Sorry babe that isn’t on the list tonight oh well. Maybe next time!

"We share this category with all writers of late-night political comedy, while that is still a type of show that's allowed to exist," Last Week Tonight writer Dan O'Brien as he accepted the Emmy. It struck me like a ton of bricks. Here we are. We have reached full fascism.

Joe Davis on the 3-run home run: "You've got to be kidding"

Pitches 5 no-hit innings. Home run number 50 in the same game. What in the name of Tungsten Arm O’Doyle?!

Please permit me to remind you that just as the First Amendment protects Nazis, who would suppress our speech, it also protects the New York Times, which has sold out every American right and value for the mess of Park Slope potage that is false equivalency, false neutrality, and access.

This is a stunningly pathological lawsuit even by Trumpian standards. It reads as if he was holding a gun to the head of the child of the lawyer drafting it.

Phillies lead the league in greasy-haired players.

Imagine trading Mookie Betts.

It truly cannot be restated enough that earlier this year Trump pardoned everyone involved with J6, the largest event of political violence in the US in my lifetime. They have absolutely no credibility here and deserve to be confronted with this fact whenever they're in public.

Jesus Tapdancing Christ, how is he so ill-matched to this moment? HOW?

I HATE how NYT uses the word "crackdown." It implies enforcement against something illegal but which has been overlooked for whatever reason. A "crackdown" on lax seatbelt use or a "crackdown" on tax cheats. One does not "crack down" on lawful political expression. One seeks to stifle or oppress it.

How do you engage in “bipartisan negotiation” with a party whose leaders said hours ago that they want to crush you out existence

In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

It is WEIRD that the sitting Vice President of the United States would guest host a radio show for 2 hours. It is WEIRD that he would tell people that calling employers is donning “God’s Armor.” It is WEIRD that he would suggest you might get killed if you call employers. These folks are WEIRD.

I don’t have any illusions about the fact that the majority of white MLB players are MAGA/ultra conservative. I have an issue with the ones that make it publicly known and do public displays like Kershaw and Treinen. It makes me sick and angry.

This was a man who said, after children were shot in school, that gun deaths every year were a necessary outcome to keep the 2A. He said that Black women don’t have the brain power to be taken seriously. He trafficked in hate speech and fear. He degraded LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, POC, and women.

Absolute garbage.

Fox News is just forging ahead tonight as though a card-carrying Democrat gunned down Charlie Kirk. The narrative is impervious to facts.

Just heard from the NFL that every individual home team this week has the option of honoring Charlie K!rk but (unlike last night) it will not be a league initiative so we’ll see what each individual owner chooses and what that tells us. Lots of ins, outs, whathaveyous on this one.
