Something very Homer Simpson about the gravel-voiced gaffer

If they are not worldies, they don't count

It will cost you nothing to share my work but it could change my year! Tis' the season for sales and corporate greed, I am just your friendly neighborhood LOI guy, a one man band making work about things we all love. You know where I am if you need any seasonal gifts 😇

I wish the AL MVP voters had listened to @thatbootlegguy.bsky.social. My Big Dumper deserved better. His narrative was so much better than Judge's irritating "I'm really really really good at baseball" schtick

I want AI to do the laundry and my admin while I write and illustrate books. I don't want AI to write and illustrate books while I do the laundry and admin.

laughing again because during a quiz there was a question about a famous pirate and I said to my friend just name any pirate and he panicked and said long bon jovi

This is @thatbootlegguy.bsky.social and his pickle energy

Happy 40th birthday to Bill Waterson’s ‘Calvin and Hobbes’. A work of consummate, stubborn, human, and more-than-human art.

@rhodri.biz the Americans don't know what they are missing

Tomorrow is the last chance to get one of these. I need a bit of time to choose the books and get them here, so I can wrap them and get them posted out. I hope you like the idea (thanks to everyone who's bought one and/or shared this on Bluesky) www.biggreenbookshop.com/simon-likes-...

Sir Roger Moore, Lori Petty, Matt Le Tissier and Oscar Charleston!

I enjoy advanced analytics, but WAR doesn't capture the value of those 10 seasons in an aesthetically pleasing way. I don't want a replacement level player to be deemed essentially worthless. Leary would have done some great things in those 10 seasons

This was Jelly Belly Jelly Beans for many years for me

Got these new trainers today but I can't get it out of my head that they look like fuckin DC Tosh Lines from The Bill

Good for Andy Pages on getting "championship saving catch" in as a career defining moment before the world heard about "unknowingly foiling gambling plot by swinging at extremely obvious ball"

@thatbootlegguy.bsky.social this is pretty cool www.instagram.com/reindeerstud...

There are no bad bits to this wonderfully pointless exercise. Throw, reposition to catch, wait, catch, repeat.

Post a non-religious image you think of as holy

These new details from last summer's confrontation between Rob Manfred and Bryce Harper are absolutely insane. MLB officials threatening players will "end up in a ditch" for disrespecting Manfred is outrageous behavior. www.newsweek.com/sports/mlb/p...

Dude looks like he can tackle too

Meep meep

This bums me out as #athletics fan. Firing your black 3B coach & bringing back THIS guy is a terrible look. In their 125-yr history, A's have never had a black or Latin-born manager. I wonder how much longer we need to determine if that's intentional and what other decisions are made thru that prism

There's still one Agatha Christie book up for grabs! #buyastrangerabook

What a game. What a World Series. What a season. Baseball is the best 🫶⚾️ The players, managers, coaches, front offices & everyone else involved outdid themselves yet again! It’s an honor to share this amazing game with all of you! Thanks so much for following along! 😭

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

Ivor (3) has just shown a fleeting interest in the sculptures of Henry Moore, and both his parents are slightly overcome by this, in fact we’re in danger of spoiling it by arranging a day trip for the family to Henry Moore Gardens - oh hang on he’s just asked for Paw Patrol on the TV, as you were

And how does that helicopter plan to lift me out of the goddamn sea, exactly

You know Theo, right Joe? He can make this happen for you ☺️

If you need cheering up. Albert is bonkers 😂

@sportsinfosolutions.com Any chance of a season ending update to the all-scrapes team? I'd love to know who threw themselves around most this year

@worldbollardassoc.bsky.social does this fall in your area of expertise?

Disrupting a social media break from a two-week holiday in Japan (recommendations welcome) to say it’s an honour for my book ‘States of Play’ to be shortlisted for the prestigious William Hill sports book of the year - especially given the list of nominees

@stadiumprints.bsky.social These look wonderful #ReadingFC

It’s 30 years since Dean Windass scored one of the Greatest Goals in Football League History. Goodness me. He should have been top 3 in the Ballon d’Or for this.
