FREE FOOTBALL IN ALBUQUERQUE OR HOWEVER YOU SPELL IT

After a household bout with flu so bad my MIL had to come take care of us for four days, I have managed to both get dressed and feed the child.

I heard this.

"I needed to make sure I'm proving myself, that I earned this contract," Kelsie Whitmore said. "Now coming into this league, I feel like myself is finally enough.” History was made at the inaugural WPBL draft last night: www.mlb.com/news/kelsie-...

Keaton always said, ‘I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him.’ Well I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Keyser Soze.”

Just walked past a gent casually strolling around with a falcon (or some other big bird of prey) on his arm.

Japan manager Hirokazu Ibata said last night that Daisuke Moriura, who gave up two homers, said the PitchCom was hard to hear, so the other pitchers turned it up. He said that was a focus for them ahead of the WBC, that and the pitch clock and rules that aren't in NPB.

They stopped letting media in the dugouts, but the Tokyo Dome ground rules used to be posted on the wall. Probably online somewhere too, to be honest. The umps just got it wrong initially, it looked like, before the one from NPB stepped in.

Japan hadn't done anything in this game, and then Korea scored three runs, and then Japan decided to wake up and score three in the next half inning.

Jen Pawol, the first women to umpire in an MLB game, is behind the plate for Game 1 of Samurai Japan vs. Korea at Tokyo Dome tonight.

Hirokazu Ibata can see you when you’re sleeping. He knows when you’re awake.

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

Lmao that’s how you play it off Duke

Goto Teruki, a Japanese perennial candidate who is known for his odd election speeches and posters, is running for Tokyo's Katsushika ward assembly. He is wearing a penis costume on his election posters, and apparently police ordered him to censor them with a black marker.

The Seibu Lions will allow pitcher Kona Takahashi to move to MLB via the posting system this offseason. He had a 3.04 ERA in 148 innings in 2025. Takahashi has a 3.39 ERA in 1,199 career NPB innings. www.seibulions.jp/news/detail/...

I can't believe that Lou Whitaker is not on this year's Contemporary Era ballot. He should have been in the Hall of Fame many years ago and now has to wait a minimum of 3 more years to potentially be considered. He deserves his big day and it absolutely sucks that baseball continues to overlook him.

parents 8 years from now: yoshinobu yamamoto you go to your room this instant!

I just noticed something incredibly weird - In MLB, NPB, and CPBL the championships were all decided by the visiting team hitting a home run in the 11th inning of the final game. What an amazing coincidence!

Sunset hour was nice.

All Yoshinobu Yamamoto does is win. 2019: Premier12 2021: (2020) Tokyo Olympics, Pacific League pennant 2022: PL pennant, Japan Series 2023: World Baseball Classic, PL pennant 2024: World Series 2025 World Series + Three Sawamura Awards, three PL MVPs and two no-hitters

YOSHINOBU YAMAMOTO All Caps when you say the man’s name.

Now the inning can start.

Think Vladdy is getting on

The Fresh Prince

I want this game to be longer than the Namek Saga.

This thing Yamamoto is doing isn’t normal in Japan either. When Masahiro Tanaka came back in Game 7 in 2013, that was the top of the ninth with a 3-0 lead.

Yamamoto is looking at the iPad, he’s going back out there

Go home, Game 7, you’re drunk.

Oh my goodness

I’m not a diehard for either team, but I’d like to see Yamamoto get through this just for the history of it. Then whoever wins can win.

Wow, here comes Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Dodgers want a strikeout here.

I know Rojas said next year, but if the Dodgers end up winning, I would go out on that.

One day I'll have to jot down my favorite NPB cheers. Kawase's is cool. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H-O...
