Well, it's about damn time the police busted the Cravenite Social Club!

This is worse than the time they tore down Tim Riley's Bar! William Windom is so pissed off he went out and bought a comb!

I imagine Kurt Suzuki will continue making horrible fucking decisions as the new Los Angeles Angels manager.

Oct. 21, 1948: Happy 77th Birthday, Bill Russell! Which gives me a reason to post the back of his '77 Topps card: "Bo Belinsky married a Playboy Bunny", where Queen for a Day Jo Collins (still with us at age 80!) is in a stiletto-spiked Playboy outfit & lugging around a long Siffredi model bat!

Double Dooty Rudy: "Ahh, just thinking back to that wonderful, cancer-fueling live Camel Cigarettes smoking billboard...and it still fills me with capnolagnia and makes me hard as a freakin' pebble!"

Just found this neat stat nugget: 4,220 PAs after the 2003 season - Vladimir Guerrero 4,220 PAs after the 2025 season - Vladimir Guerrero Jr .323/.390/.588 - 148 OPS+/WAR 34.7 - Vladimir Guerrero .288/.366/.495 - 136 OPS+/WAR 25.8 - Vladimir Guerrero Jr

Mr. Putin's puppet, tear down this wall! Karly Kingsley: "Remember when Donald Trump said that construction of his new $250M ballroom wouldn’t interfere with the existing White House structures?"

October 20, 1953: Lefty swingin'/righty wingin', election fraud conspiracist Keith Hernandez...is 72 non-Hall of Fame years old! 2019 KKKeith: "Why do I like Trump? I think he's helped everybody, he's lifted everybody up!" Lift this, pretty boy.

Johnny's First and Last Cigarette... October 20, 1931 hero Mickey Mantle took his first breath. October 20, 2019 hero Nick Tosches took his last breath.

There's a thin line between hate and REALLY fucking hate.

At the No Kings protest in tiny Guttenberg (11,000 people packed into 10 blocks) NJ, when a young couple comes up to me & sez: Young Dude: "What's going on here?" Me: "No Kings protest...an anti-Trump rally." Young Girl: "Great! I've been looking for one of these!" Me: "Good, I hope it fits!"

As we protest today at the NO KINGS rallies, I will proudly continue my support of NO KING FAMILY...especially those fuckheads playing banjos!

As I recently told a racist Trumpian ex-WNY shitheel: "Much like Baron Wolf von Frankenstein...you have to spend the rest of your life defending a fucking monster."

Sabermemory - 2021 MLB Playoffs: Nothing screamed cutting edge rock & roll more than Joe Buck getting his MOR member motivated: "Thanks to Sting for making "Walking on the Moon"!"

There are a number of reasons I didn't like John Entwistle's novelty songs messing up The Who albums and never bought his solo gunk...here are but a few: 1979: Entwistle on his favorite music to listen to: "I guess Joe Walsh and The Eagles. I used to like Chicago, but I've gone off them."

October 16, 1960: Happy Birthday, pünk gürü Bob Mould...65 sonic years old today! Here: Mould wearing a Ramones t-shirt in the 1978 Franklin Academy (Malone NY) yearbook.

Sabermemory - 2021 Joe Buck: “Look, it’s gonna take me another 20 years to discount batting average, but I’m a dinosaur, whatever.” A regular parasitic infected Tyrannosaurus Rex Hudler.

Sitz bath solutions are not the answer! 1976: That time revolting Rush Limbaugh's pulsating asshole buddy George Brett wore a Nixon mask.

Oct. 15, 1945: Happy Birthday, Jim Palmer...*80* pancake stacked years old! Here, that time Jim Palmer got his syrupy, cac-stained Jockey underwear in a bunch. I was a huge Palmer fan until this Dick Young column popped mighty in 1976.

Didn't Necktarine Lad once try to join The Legion of Super Heroes? Jesse Duquette: "To be fair, Time had the impossible task of trying to catch Friendless Urinal Cake’s “good side”."

2020: That time wrong-sided Bill James fell in love with loony Amy Coney Barrett (probably thinking there was a Marty Barrett connection) during her confirmation hearing. And if that's a Supreme Court Judge, I'm a lug nut.

2022: Fear and Loathing in Gonzo's Arizona Gonzo journalism: Objective journalism is one of the main reasons American politics has been allowed to be so corrupt for so long. You can't be objective about Kari Lake. Even if you include Gonzo's 5 BBWAA HOF Votes...they are both still off the ballot.

Sabermemory - 2020 Revisionist baseball historian and all-around Trumpian dungheap Pete Rose: "Don't forget, we also got Cesar Geronimo in the Joe Morgan trade, and he'd become a perennial All-Star with the Reds." Cesar Geronimo NEVER made an All-Star team.

Sabermemory - 2014 Cal Ripken Jr: "I don't believe ball park factors exist." And the only reason baseball is played with outfield fences is to keep the baseballs from falling off the edge of the flat earth.

So, last year Steve Garvey hooked up with Randy Quaid...and Quaid immediately developed a second trimester belly bump!

I Am a Nut, Elect Me! Being that they were both born on October 13, 1925: Lenny Bruce and Margaret Thatcher would both be 𝟭𝟬𝟬-years-old today! There's an vulgar, anal-warted pre-pre-metamodernist tragicomedy joke in there somewhere...

1968: Lee Hazlewood on why he retired from the music biz for a spell in 1964: "I was disgusted that everything you heard on the radio was Beatles, Beatles, Beatles. Not only that. but they were being hailed as innovators when they were doing things done four years earlier by the Everly Brothers."

Whoa! I had no idea Rachel Campos-Duffy moonlighted as a nanny!

William Shatner: "Will my "Nick of Time" co-star Patricia Breslin die on October 12, 2011 and even things up for the city of Cleveland by leaving her shithead husband Art Modell alone?" Shatner pulls lever and takes the card. Mystic Seer card: "𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄'𝐒 𝐍𝐎 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐈𝐓."

Oct 11, 1980: 45 obliterated years ago...the sonic tonic that be Mission of Burma played their first dynamic gig at Maxwell's! So rad loud...my pal Smuggo swore that he saw Rust-Oleum flakes dropping off the tin ceiling and into his long neck Bud during the raucous set.

Sabermemory - 2015 On the Road/Home splits. Tom Verducci - "Chris Colabello is a regular Jack Kerouac!" Harold Reynolds - "Jack Whooooo?"

I know that he only pitched 5 innings for the Mariners this year, but I wonder, if Seattle goes on & wins the World Series will they give Zach (Sub) Pop a WS share or is he going to get stiffed like I did back in 1988 when I didn't receive the Nirvana "Love Buzz" 45 in my Sub-Pop Singles Club order!

Love Devotion Surrender Putrefaction Oct. 11, 2007: Guruse Sri Chinmoy gone 18 mendactic yrs now. Here a Jan. 1974 VV ad for spiritual masterblaster Sri Chinmoy's *7* (count 'em, ya easy freakin' marks!) new record releases! His "Bang a Chittagong (Get It On)" single was a total Bengali freakout!

Since Ray Oyler played for both a Seattle team and Detroit...this was like a tribute game to him...𝐁𝐄𝐂𝐀𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐊!

Antiquated anti-saber Trumpster Bill Madden has thoughts. BTW: So far, the relievers for the Tigers and Mariners have pitched a combined 13 shutout innings.

KKKid Rock: "Do you know what is stupid, these chicks running around on campuses with blue hair and five nose rings." This coming from an aging seminiferous tubule-troubled, Wockenfuss-wannabe.

Look Wot You Dun America! 1973: PRM: Rockrit Mark Shipper (once called the J. D. Salinger of rock writers) on Slade still trying to make it in America.

Oct 10, 1985: Magnificent l'enfant dirigible Orson Welles, gone 40 yrs now Welles on Henry Kissinger: "I hate Kissinger even more than I hate Nixon, because I just can’t get over the feeling that he knows better, somehow. He must have talked himself into it. But he’s a selfish, self-serving shit.”

Thankfully that planned 2018 sequel ("Hating") to "Loving" never got off the ground.

Sabermemory - 2011 Tim McCarver: "Austin Jackson reminds me of Bobby Bonds!" Yea, and Maroon 5 reminds me of Hüsker Dü.

Wait, I thought hero Michael Burke banned the Satan Island branch of the Jake Powell Fan Club from Yankee Stadium decades ago! MLB Insider Héctor Gómez: "Last night at Yankee Stadium, fans attacked Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s family members with plastic bottles during Game 4 of the ALDS.

No...but John Astin is alive and well! Another gem from my '70s Punk/Psychotrontic box... A high priority Hy & Marilyn Gardner column from 1975.

Nothing quite like Sabermetric darling, Derek Jeter...ripping Sabermetrics: “I’m so tired of them telling me and telling America that batting average is overrated. RBI is overrated. Contact’s overrated. Well, if you think winning the World Championship is overrated, then sure.”

I still can't believe that Daniel Vogelbach turned his back on the Mets so quickly.

Well, it certainly looks like Meryl Streep is in line for her 22nd Oscar nomination!

2024: Jack Ciattarelli: "In my opinion those January 6th people who broke the law should NOT be pardoned." 2025: Jack Ciattarelli: “Trump was right to pardon the men and women present at the Capitol on January 6th.” Oh, and fuck Aaron Boone.

𝐘𝐎𝐔 try passing a stone the size of the Belvedere Torso!

Just 3 silly days ago: Joe Davis: "Anthony Volpe goes from being a .222 hitter during the regular season to a .300 hitter in the postseason!" After tonight's 0 fer 4 Anthony Volpe is now down to being a .264 hitter in the postseason! I await Davis' update on this ever fluctuating dumbassness!

Christ on a Bacon Jalapeño Corn Dog Stick! Lard-ass members of the KKK: Kremlin Krispy Kreme branch of the Texas National Guard arriving in Chicago today. Well, so much for Secretary of Defense sod, adultery-addicted, G.I. Jabroni Pete Hegseth wanting no blubber-nutted fatties on board.

In an attempt to keep up with the raucous riot ("Psycho", "Strychnine", "The Witch" etc.) of what Gerry Roslie and the Sonics was coming up with in 1964...Paul McCartney quickly fired back with "Yesterday" in 1965. Weak Sauce vs. the Boss Hoss! America, failing at every turn.
