*dusts this off to say hi to @frustratedfan.bsky.social after Cairo Santos L. Halper redeems himself and saves the day for the Bears*

@kschwenky.bsky.social: Did I just see your nephew and his family on George to the Rescue?!

@kschwenky.bsky.social: Hopefully you can access this. Stupid babies! www.instagram.com/reel/DMHed6O...

Indy ball took a dark turn, @gheorghetheblog.bsky.social.

At Yankee Stadium for what amounts to the Why Can’t The Mets Get Guys Like These World Series against the Cubs. Gimme some Cubs avatars, alive & on an ‘80s OR ‘90s card @frustratedfan.bsky.social & co., go go go!

Nice visitors-home score at Wrigley today @frustratedfan.bsky.social.

Hey it’s @mikepriceinla.bsky.social!

Nice job by #Ghost #Cubs #Legend as well as #Ghost #Orioles #Legend and #Ghost #Rangers #Legend Adrian Houser, who has thrown six scoreless innings of two-hit ball against the Mets Also did that against the Mariners in his season debut last week @frustratedfan.bsky.social @masonfanatic.bsky.social.

White Sox in town. The only good thing about interleague is the never-ending supply of avatars from AL teams. So gimme those White Sox avatars, alive & on an '80s OR '90s card, go go go! (I know @frustratedfan.bsky.social must have some #Chicago #Legends in mind)

Jared Young, no longer a #Cubs #Legend only option on Immaculate Grid, gets plunked in his first Mets AB @frustratedfan.bsky.social.

Dodgers still in town. Still seem to be a pretty good team with a pretty good following. Avatars, alive & on an '80s OR '90s card, go go go!

Made it back out to Yankee Stadium so gimme your Mets avatars and we'll do some in-game cards. Alive & on an '80s OR '90s card, go go go!

Edwin Diaz on in a 3-2 game in the ninth at Yankee Stadium? Time to borrow from @frustratedfan.bsky.social!

Tylor Megill's final line is a quirky one: 2 2/3 IP-4 H-4 R-4 ER-5 BB-4 Ks. Per @stathead.com, he's the first pitcher with such a line since at least 1901!

Traffic here was brutal so make it worth my while. Mets--METS!!!--avatars, alive & on an '80s OR 90s card, go go go!

Gelbs shouts out @mikepriceinla.bsky.social while talking about his Simpsons cameo! And then Ron says he watched The Simpsons on Tracey Ullman. Greatest booth ever.

Ohh shit. Look at that scoreboard dude. See that scoreboard right there? The one marked private? You think a private lives in there? Pirates (or Privates) avatars, alive & on an ‘80s or ‘90s card, go go go!

Pete Alonso with a tie-breaking RBI single off why can't the Mets get guys like Colin Holderman, who was out there in a tie game which meant Colin couldn't get a holder, man. CC: @frustratedfan.bsky.social

Well there goes any chance Cade Horton had of pulling a modified Ernie Shore @vculitos.bsky.social @frustratedfan.bsky.social. Leadoff single by Pete Alonso in the fourth breaks up the combined no-no bid.

Cade Horton debuts with a 1-2-3 second inning. Nothing can poss-i-bly go wrong from here, right @frustratedfan.bsky.social?

Is this a patented #FakeRally by the Knicks with the Cubs just a bridge away, @frustratedfan.bsky.social?

Today's card is courtesy of Cubs fan/Simpsons nut @frustratedfan.bsky.social! Shawon Dunston was used in 2014 but that's 11 years ago! Plus, we all know we all had 15 of these cards in 1985. Visit our advertisers, for they fund the programming.

Cubs lineup, obvious themed edition! McRae, CF Dunston, SS Wilkins, C Kingman, 1B Martin, RF Zeile, 3B Henderson, LF Sanchez, 2B Trachsel, P

The Mets' wins this season are sponsored by something called Moomoo but Nico Hoerner just singled to break up Clay Holmes' no-hit bid in the third inning. I just wanted to watch Honk If You're Horny in peace, @frustratedfan.bsky.social!

*blows dust off this login* What's up? Cubs are in town and I didn't want to miss @frustratedfan.bsky.social's avatar suggestions...or anyone else's! Avatars, alive & on an '80s OR '90s card, go go go!

Look, mostly Madrigals! Hey, that might be good @frustratedfan.bsky.social!

Looking pretty good for a guy whose plane was shot out of the sky to end S2 of Veronica Mars. (Sure you all expected the Stonecutters reference but I pivoted)

Spent the day in my hometown, where our old high school is closing after 60-plus years & being replaced by a brand-new building next door. A friend & fellow Class of ‘91 grad retrieved this for me from the ‘90s display. To paraphrase Bart at the end of the movie: My friends know me.

Well this is @gheorghetheblog.bsky.social content if I ever saw it.

I think I found @frustratedfan.bsky.social!

This game so deserves to finish 6-9 @frustratedfan.bsky.social.

Do you think Eduardo Escobar is in there, @yayroger.bsky.social @jessespector.com?

Merry Christmas, everyone! Try to heed SpongeBob's advice year-round, even if 51% of the country won't. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmtD...

I'm in favor of it!

I cannot believe the Buccaneers suspended their Buccaneersness long enough to win not one but two Super Bowls. That was the most Bucs loss ever.

They are gonna have a hard time topping this joke swap.

Somehow Vermont won a big game that wasn’t at 11am on Saturday on espn2 (deep AE cut)

A Kramer got flagged for falling to report as an eligible receiver out of the backfield for the Bears? CC: @frustratedfan.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=INop...

New DD post: I'll Be Quirky: Temple. defiantlydutch.blogspot.com/2024/12/ill-... Recapping big games for Jean Aranguren & KiJan Robinson as well as Michael Graham's latest can't-miss performane b4 previewing a long-awaited ECC reunion. Plus a Hall & Oates reference and Jamal Mashburn Jr?! Really?!

The swim of shame back must have been something.

SOTO: Who has no. 22? STEARNS: A guy named Brett Baty. SOTO: What's he want for it? STEARNS: Who cares? It's yours. TC: Hey I just spilled coffee on Brett Baty's jersey. STEARNS: Goddamnit TC. CC: @yayroger.bsky.social @larryfleisher.bsky.social

Typical David Stearns, refusing to make at-the-margins moves.

I still think Arenado can be a very good player...defense hasn't slipped much and he's young enough to bounce back offensively. But in the before times, he would have been the Mets' big addition and he would have Roberto Alomared his way down the drain.

Can we get Cal and his slump-buster jacket on a bobble, @kschwenky.bsky.social?

sweet vindication

It's wild the Simpsonsized NFL broadcast benefiting multiple broadcast partners happened 34 years to the week after they seemed to achieve full pop culture saturation with the release of a top 10 album.

"Proving Springfield is closer to Cincy than the Big D." Well it is a sitcom about a Northern Kentucky family, Drew.

"From up here, the Jumbotron only looks like a regular Tron. Oh yeah!" Is this a Homer3 reference, @yayroger.bsky.social?

Homer: Yeah, ESPN having the Super Bowl. Drew: That's a low blow at ESPN. Just wait a couple years.

Remember what I told you, Bart!
