Union man. I write about baseball and make stupid jokes, not necessarily in that order. For a midlife crisis expressed through record collecting, follow me @mystupidrecords.bsky.social

people used to be so horny for tomato women

The album cover of Little Feat's Waiting for Columbus. It features a real sexy tomato woman in a hammock.

I have listed to at least 100 episodes of the Omnibus, and I can tell you with some certainty that Mariners/Blue Jays is basically Giants/Dodgers to @kenjennings.bsky.social.

when you check on your client's 401(k) and everything is on track and also you've hit a go-ahead home run.

Andrew Vaughn, looking less like a baseball player and more like a friendly neighbor than anyone in recent memory.

The emphasis on "into" has me thinking 90/10, but that game still ruled.

I'm about 60 percent sure it's the perfect joke, and 40 percent thinking it's a memory of him getting a free Tron arcade cabinet in 1982 for being in the movie. That game ruled.

They would put Night in White Satin in those made-for-TV compilations of soft rock, so I was like, 30, when I first really listened to Days of Future Nights Passed on purpose. Holy hell, that must have been a revelation back then.

These are my favorite kinds of AI search results. I'd like to think that one percent of Lake Erie vanishes with each return like this.

A fake screenshot of someone querying "the name of a local business (I just want to see their hours)" on Google. The AI overview responds with:

Oh, shit. Don't panic. We'll get through this. Here is what your mysterious query might actually mean.

• Local businesses tend to have names: This helps people distinguish different businesses from each other. For example, Target can't be also called "Home Depot" because that would create confusion.

• Businesses that are local take less time to reach than businesses far away: If choosing between two businesses, keep in mind that if one of them is in a different state or country, it will take you longer to get there.

An oldie-but-goodie meme of two lobsters fighting with dollar bills scattered around them.

I thought getting beaten in the World Series by the Dodgers would be the ultimate pain for a cursed team like the Mariners, but now I realize that it would feel way worse to lose to the Cubs.

Like, there is a decent chance we will be talking about Game 5 of the 2025 ALDS between Detroit and Seattle for the rest of our lives, the same way we talk about Texas/Toronto

I return to this poem every fall.

A screenshot of a poem on The Walt Whitman Archive that reads:

"DINGLE me into that fair autumn's eve
For spring breaths and summer perspiration
have given way to
The hibernation of the Dingler
Who shall dingle sweetly in his dreams
who shall dingle fiercely in his nightmares."

It's definitely real.

I'd call for a mound visit just so I could go out and tell Kahnle that the play is at home, not first, just to eliminate any confusion.
