Made a beef Wellington for Xmas and it turned out okay, so that’s a win. Two loaves of bread, sauces, salad, roast veggies. I’m tired.

Merry Christmas, y’all. I hope next year is better in every way for you and yours.

THEY DID IT AGAIN OMFG

Seahawks victories despite an opponent that you simply cannot stop: 1(t): Tonight 1(t): 11/11/1990 at KC, aka the Derrick Thomas game

Wooooooooww. Go Hawks.

The footwork by JSN and Coooop on that drive. 🤌🤌🤌🤌

Just amazing perfect throw to avoid Jones. Stanford/Nacua is just an amazing combination.

Seahawks just comprehensively outplayed and outcoached tonight. It happens. Still hurts.

Damn it.

Nicely done. Kenneth Walker and the OL.

We’re No. 1!!! Congratulations to Coach Clark, and all the Huskies now - and since 1962.

How on earth did Atlanta win that game?!

Don’t really care who wins the Packers/Bears game, but it does feel like a letdown when a good, well-played game like this one ends on just an awful play like that.

caleb. no!

Incredible Sunday Night game to watch. Not sure a lot of it was, you know, *good*, but it was incredible to watch. The ump show (do we call them ref shows in the NFL?) didn’t help, but the mix of great and awful plays was near even. It’s not even a complaint - it helped make it close/compelling.

I swear there aren’t enough hook and ladders in football. Or at least in the NFL. It’s risky? So what?

Well if it isn’t just the best news. @bgawlowski.bsky.social is a gem, Fangraphs is better for having him, and now I can mock him in public again.

Mickey Van de Ven, wow. Defender gets the ball at the top of his own box, casually runs past the entire Copenhagen team and scores it at the other end, unassisted.

THE Seattle Seahawks.

Whoooooa. (Ok, you all were like 10 seconds ahead of me, so I saw the reactions as Yamamoto was getting ready to pitch.)

This is a true fact seemingly designed in a lab to get a reaction from Mariner fans. I legitimately hissed like a vampire or a cat or possum. Whatever is sexiest to you, personally, that’s what I did. GOD Paul Assenmacher. I was not prepared to encounter that name today.

Nine times on base in one game. It’s just astounding.

How many Varsho catches at the wall is that?

Four consecutive intentional walks for tomorrow’s starting pitcher. Who also has multiple home runs tonight. I know we talk all the time about how weird this all is, but maybe not enough? This is peak Bonds at the plate, and he’ll start a World Series game tomorrow.

Will Klein, 2025 Tacoma Rainier.

I just don’t understand how no one has scored. I mean, I get what happened each time, but that it keeps happening is baffling.

Ok, this is good television.

Every inning has some absolutely bonkers/absolutely critical assist and tag. Not sure I’ve ever seen a game like this.

What on earth, Jays?

This one is free to read with a basic subscription. Free monetarily, I should say, less so in other ways

Weirdest - maybe grossest - easy Seahawks win I can remember. Bizarre, but also confidence-inspiring?

Amazing season, M’s.

Well shit.

Ok, that was cool JP.

Nervous enough that vomiting feels like it could happen pretty quickly, but enjoying the game thus far. Love this from Julio/Cal.

Hmmm. Lots of good candidates, I think. Kind of a no-wrong-answers kind of deal. Reasonable minds, etc.

My goodness, Shohei.

Yes. The Mariners. The *Mariners*

Yeeessss! Cal for President.

Rough call

What? Again?

Literally no one the M’s would’ve rather faced in that spot than Santander.

Yusssss

The reason T-Mobile is a pitchers park is NOT that it suppresses home runs, John Smoltz. It’s that homers are nearly the only chance you have to score runs. It’s suppressing hits more than homers.

Tacoma Rainiers and (briefly) 2001 Mariner legend update:

The easiest, lowest-stress double play I’ve seen in years was a fitting way to end that game.

I believe in the Seattle Mariners.

I can’t believe it given how it started, and how it looked on paper, but that was a shockingly stress free win? At least after the 6-7th. Just a clete standing on a Blue Jay head, forever.

Polo!!!
