Venturing over here for a look. To quote myself, “I told the people of my district that I would serve them as faithfully as I had done; but if not, they might go to hell, and I would go to The Other Site.”

Feels perfectly fitting we had a Game 5 that was on paper close the whole way through but never felt all that tense or entertaining

The thing about Tankie histories of World War II is they never really have an answer for how FDR’s US Navy was dropping depth charges on German U-Boats when Stalin was still sending Hitler the oil to fuel them.

Knocked around Buttigieg in bizarre homophobic ways no less!

You do a thing where mascots run but one of them never gets to win you say? How original…

To be fair it’s not like swinging away way paying dividends for anyone once a runner got to scoring position anyway

Come next spring you both clearly need to be introduced to the joyous terror that is multiple overtime Stanley Cup Playoff Hockey

ALCS is a showdown of the two 1977 AL Expansion Teams; a fitting tribute to the recent passing of President Carter

(I did have the thought “He throws a lot of change ups, how cool would it be to steal home here, alas he’s a right handed and so looks right at third when he’s pitching, sigh)

I, for one, feel let down AJ wasn’t calling for the suicide squeeze there

The day is October 10th, 2025, the Tigers and Mariners start a game of baseball that creates history. As this documentary airs, it is 2087, they are still playing today.

They’re mostly just excited the game is going to last until Chloe Zhao can do yet more magic hour shots

Reaching England-Sweden shootout levels of length and futility at scoring here

Gonna be funny when @abradacabla.bsky.social wakes up in a little bit and goes “What, the ALDS is still going on?”

Unfortunately we’re on the west coast so it has to go six and a half more hours to match the 1985 Braves and Mets

Homage to the legendary 1995 ALDS as they bring in Randy Johnson from the pen again because they run out of literally all other potential pitchers

(Also both their 1980s Division Titles saw them beating the Mets into second place; the latter title being one of your last chances before the 1980s core started falling apart for good)

Hey! You still have an old NL East rival in the mix!

It was a wild throw from the pitcher! That was not a pitch but close enough!

Davy Crockett @davidcrockett08.bsky.social · 3d

Well, you kinda predicted the end here

The second dumbest part is no matter how rich you make Bruce Wayne his wealth pales in comparison to the tax revenue a Gotham-esque city has.

As NYC Mayor, Mike Bloomberg had a an annual budget that was consistently several dozen billion more than his entire net worth.

Doc Revan @docrevan.bsky.social · 4d

The dumbest part about that cognitohazard is that Bruce *does* canonically give large amounts of money to charity via the Wayne Foundation

Russell Cohn @russellcohn.bsky.social · 4d

THat one tumblr post about how Bruce would better serve giving away his wealth instead of being Batman was a disaster for humanity.
