Absolutely gutted for Jays fans, but my god, that was THE World Series Game of the Decade. What a ride. Script writers cooked. As a fan, you couldn’t have asked for a better baseball game.

Can confirm that Devin Pearson is expected to join the Washington Nationals as an assistant general manager. First with the news was @alexspeier.bsky.social. Pearson had been Boston’s scouting director since 2023.

The Dodgers are quietly reminding everyone why they’re the defending World Series Champs.

I want to thank all of you guys for the support this season. Here is what is next for Federal Baseball as we enter the offseason www.federalbaseball.com/general/8659...

FINAL: White Sox 8, Nationals 0. Washington finishes a tumultuous season at 66-96, five games worse than their 2023/2024 record. The Nationals pitching staff allowed more runs (899) than any team in Nationals history.

Imagine being a fly on the wall of the South Park offices and writers room right now...

FINAL: Nationals 6, Cubs 3. An amazing comeback started by Robert Hassell III's solo homer. Josh Bell followed with a three-run homer. Washington steal a series from the Cubs, who lead the NL Wild Card.

Final: Nats 6, Cubs 3. They put 3 men on base through 8 innings. Then they scored 5 runs in the 9th thanks to homers by Hassell and Bell to pull off one of their most impressive wins of the season and take the weekend series at Wrigley.

NATS SPOIL THE CUBS!!! Great 2 wins in Wrigley. Holy shit. Thank you, boys! 👏👏👏

GO NATS GO!!!

The 2025 Washington Nationals are the kind of team that makes you fall a little bit out of love with baseball. 😭

This weekend someone on Nats reddit posted that they decided to be a Nats fan and wanted to know the current state of the team. I wrote way too long of a response so I decided to put it on my blog in case you know someone else who has foolishly jumped on the bandwagon. nextyeardc.com/post/SoYouWa...

Josh Bell hit a single with the bases loaded to extend the Nats' lead to 4-2. Alex Call with a two-run single that took a wicked hop off the mound and over the head of second baseman Brooks Lee. It's 6-2 Nationals in the 5th.

No. 40 for Cal Raleigh 💥 Raleigh has the chance to not only crush the record for homers in a season by a catcher set by Salvador Perez with 48 (2021), but he is also on pace to equal Aaron Judge’s single-season AL home run record with 62 (2022). www.nytimes.com/athletic/651...

Trade is now official: Nationals send INF Amed Rosario to Yankees for RHP Clayton Beeter and OF Browm Martinez. Beeter (who is on 40-man roster) is optioned to Triple-A Rochester.

it is real weird how Zohran Mamdani is constantly asked about antisemitism but none of the other NYC mayoral candidates are relentlessly asked about how they will deal with ongoing Islamophobia and hate crimes against Asian Americans

Would love Dan Bongino’s response to Trump leaving open the possibility he’ll pardon Ghislaine Maxwell. I feel like Podcaster Dan would have some thoughts on this topic.

@betoorourke.bsky.social: Trump is "being completely clear, saying the quiet part out loud: 'I'm going to lose this fucking election. I will have a check on my power in the House if I cannot maintain the slim majority and the only way we can get it done is Texas. So get me those five seats.'"

Love you, White Center friends.

July 18: If we have a smart president, you're never going to let the dollar slide. If you have a dummy, that could happen. July 25: A weak dollar makes you a hell of a lot more money. It doesn't sound good, but you make a hell of a lot more money with a weaker dollar than with a strong dollar

#BlueJays win, 11-4. A big day from just about everyone, but Eric Lauer was absolutely excellent over eight innings of one-run ball. They’re 61-42, the best record in the American League.

Fantastic Four was a blast. Great aesthetics, excellent grasp of the characters, story moved along with decent pace. Really fun time at the movies - and the crystal city Alamo hired Reed Richards and Sue Storm cosplayers to hang out in the lobby and take pictures with people.

Trump continues to call the Trump-Epstein scandal a "scam" and a "hoax" and says "people who are innocent should not be hurt" by their names appearing in Epstein documents

Is this really what our nation has become? To be remembered positively when you die, one must have never done horrible things that one never apologized for?

It’s taken like two fulls days for them to get behind springing Epstein’s *only known, confirmed and convicted accomplice in sexually abusing middle school girls*

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday. It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever. I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

This is what fear looks like.
