Incredible day of knockouts

I cannot see a post about the new Eggers film without thinking of

To be fair this happens as a prospect writer too.

One of the many reasons I couldn’t be an actual sports reporter is I would just hang up laughing when asked to report so many things.

Did not have the Mets getting a real (if oft-injured) prospect back for a David Peterson rental

It’s incredibly funny to see a hypothetical Jarrett tossed off on a podcast with a wrestling guy get spread all over Mets Twitter because it somehow got back to Buster Olney.

Patrick also pulls off a Muhammad Ali level rope-a-dope in the game.

Daylen Lile having a bobblehead day makes me wonder if we are doing too many bobbleheads. And this is coming from a guy who owns some weird bobbleheads.

Look if you had told me to guess the batter/pitcher matchup for this, I think I could have gotten it in three.

The disappearing lily pad section in Mina the Hollower is gonna haunt my nightmares for years.

Maybe the Persona 6 announcement will get me to finally sink 100 hours into Persona 5 but I am so old now.

Guardians RHP Braylon Doughty t97 with the fastball, also showed 4 other secondaries

I was not actually trying to antagonize Craig, but once he started getting mad, I just leaned in.

New York Giants fans learning all about the median Davis County voter I see.

David Roth and I talked about bands whose fans look like them on the last pod, and I almost brought up Gibbard as a dude who no longer looks like his fans.
