Just made hot buttered rum for the first time and it took me all of seven minutes and I already had all the ingredients. Bonus: it’s delicious.

OMG IT’S HERE! My first issue of the Baseball Research Journal as editor! I LOVE IT

It’s the holidays so of course I just spent so much money on alcohol. Like SO much money.

‘Tis the season when it feels like 8pm at 5:05, and it suuuuucks

Every day I wake up and ask myself: am I emotionally stable enough to watch the Jeff Buckley documentary?

Cleaning without my ADHD meds is hilarious. I have four separate cleaning projects going right now and I can’t concentrate on any of them for more than 3-5 minutes. It’s more cluttered than when I started.

phillies said “the people of philadelphia have been through enough watching that dogshit eagles team, sign kyle TODAY” and i thank them for it

Seems correct. ⚾️ @johnstolnis.bsky.social @lizroscher.bsky.social @justinklugh.bsky.social

SABR members, check your emails today to read the new BRJ! Congrats to @lizroscher.bsky.social on her first issue as editor and to Gary C. for another outstanding cover illustration!

New today: Latest Baseball Research Journal, free to members of SABR. Great cover by Gary Cieradkowski showing Lou Gehrig at Columbia, where he was coached by Paul Robeson.

well that’s just great

the refs have been across the board awful this week, feels like a “be more shit” directive from the league

Not to focus on things that don’t matter, but Joe Burrow is cool and cute.

Sneaking bowl hits in the guest room while drinking a hot chocolate that’s mostly amaretto cream as I watch football with the fam.

“cleaning out my yarn stash and finding patterns to use it all up” has, predictably, resulted in me finding out one of my favorite variegations has been discontinued and buying up a bunch of it. the stash never contracts. it only expands.

I have two opinions on the Hall of Fame ballot 1. Chase Utley is a Hall of Famer and voters need to stop fucking around. 2. It is objectively funny to have some real core Phillies in Abreu, Hamels, Rollins, and Utley AND cameo Phillies Gio Gonzalez, Howie Kendrick, Hunter Pence, and K-Rod

sometimes the eagles make me want to vomit

I deeply hate this

sounds suspiciously like a little Twilight Zone episode called “To Serve Man” HMMM?

I’m absolutely going to get banned from r/IVF for calling people out for using opinion and unproven medical claims to discourage women from PGT-A testing.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

It's actually fine to be a sore loser and you actually don't have to congratulate your opponents after an emotionally intense series! This isn't Reddit. I'll take a sore winner over a scold every time.

I hope the Gen X Phillies fans who have been clanging the lead in their brains together to cheer for the Dodgers this whole month are happy tonight.

Please help me. My name is Shohei Ohtani. Last night I was struck by lightning while standing next to a man who kept looking at his phone even though we were in a lively social situation and awoke to find we had switched bodies. Please, someone contact my team. This man does not live well

The reasons to hate this WS championship are infinite but this might take the cake. Living with this will be HARD

This “strategy” actually had @johnstolnis.bsky.social proposing the Phillies slow-walk Wheeler’s rehab so he has more bullets for October, which I think is an awful idea and it might actually be against the rules?

Freddy Freeman’s teeth are so so large. And so white they’re blue? Has no one told him?

Can’t wait to see in 2026 how many Dodgers pitchers are definitely, absolutely, totally injured until August next year.

Never forget, this is Jeff Hoffman’s fault.

This game is coming dangerously close to “oh fuck this I’m going to bed I’ll see the details of another Dodgers World Series goddamn tomorrow” territory.

It’s really hard to feel good about the Dodgers tying the game when they’re the favorite and they won it last year and when I really can’t stand 99% of their players

God this John Candy documentary is so good.

Fans aren't the only ones frustrated at the lack of a World Series title. Bryce Harper is too. Maybe that's where much of this angst is coming from. @justinklugh.bsky.social @lizroscher.bsky.social LISTEN FULL EPISODE: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1... WATCH: www.youtube.com/watch?v=U84o...

god damn this Platner shit is depressing and disappointing

Excited in maybe 5-10 years for the Dems to run out of candidates who have done or said nothing wrong ever or who has never had a change of heart. The only people to vote for will be the increasingly putrefying corpses of the previously elected assholes who have sucked and have terrible records.

I can’t sleep, but in that “if I hook up my old computer maybe I can find that one music file that has been missing for two years” kind of way. If my brain tries to get quiet enough to fall asleep, all the stuff I can’t/don’t want to think about tries to get my attention. The TWW is fucking awful. 😞

Ernie Clement looks like Dominic Monaghan circa Lost.

Blake Treinen jailbreaking his PitchCom so it can play the worst podcasts you've ever heard.

my father-in-law’s GOP brain rot has gotten so much worse in 2025 that at this point I never want to see or talk to him ever again. my husband is dealing with it as best he can, but I know it hurts him. what a fucking waste.

Wat

This 2017 HuffPo piece contains more wisdom & insight on current politics than 1000000 consultant polling reports.

@justinklugh.bsky.social it’s the gift that keeps on giving

I know the answer practically, but is there is legal explanation for why wearable tech that violates consent laws don’t run afoul of law?

Aaron Glenn looks so happy. How nice.

This reminds me of the last time the Eagles brought in their backup QB to replace Jalen Hurts because they were winning by so much, which, of course, was in Super Bowl LIX, the Eagles second Super Bowl title.

imagine myles garrett on a real team

All new NFL head coaches delude themselves into thinking that their job isn't 50-75% this. But it is this. It's getting roughly probed by the media over every decision they make, as a form of content creation. Ironically, the ones who delude themselves about that are typically the best at it.

welcome new users. posts on bluesky are called tweets. it's fine no one cares

big man hit ball go far
