every Yankees pitcher not named Cam Schlittler is dumbfounded that it's possible to pitch to the Blue Jays and not give up 10,000 runs

that ChatGPT brother/sister commercial has the same energy as that horrible Folgers Christmas one

it is, of course, Game 1 BUT Jorge Polanco winning LCS MVP would perfectly follow in the footsteps of 2021 Braves Eddie Rosario of former Twins excelling in October

Geno's double is gone in half the ballparks, including Seattle. Ouch.

Helluva effort from Bryce Miller on short rest against a tough offense in front of a raucous road crowd after a bumpy start (and awful regular season). Really can't say enough.

I'm not trying to be a hater but I feel like Gausman hasn't even been that good and Seattle just keeps missing pitches?

yeah you joke, but he is in the Mariners Hall of Fame

pegging theirselves, eh

Curt Hogg @cyrthogg.bsky.social · 8h

The NLCS is here and we've got a full-on 🚨UNDERDOG OFF ALERT 🚨 going on in Milwaukee

www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

The Brewers are pegging themselves as underdogs in the NLCS. The Dodgers say they aren't falling for it.

Pat Murphy likes to refer to his team as the 'Average Joes'. This Dodgers star says he isn't falling for that.

btw the Blue Jays are here because they hit a million dingers in the ALDS, not because they were just avoiding strikeouts lol

The Mariners are trying to win their 1st pennant in team history, so I looked back on their agonizing near-misses with a loaded core from 1995-2001. They came closer than I think most people remember.
There's a little bit of everything, like Junior, Arthur Rhodes, and broken promises from Sweet Lou.

The Seattle Mariners aim to slay past demons to finally win their first AL pennant

The M’s are desperate to at last bring the World Series to Seattle after nearly 50 years of frustration.

"Robby Starbuck" is a name I'd make up as a catch-all for a jackass like this employed by Facebook and yet it's all too real

"A prominent anti-DEI campaigner appointed by Meta in August as an adviser on AI bias has spent the weeks since his appointment spreading disinformation about shootings, transgender people, vaccines, crime, and protests."

New levels of hell: just got an email from our local AYSO cancelling today’s youth soccer games because ICE is at the Home Depot across from the soccer fields at James Park in Evanston.

obviously he had more famous, established teammates, but I think this year has shown that there's a very good reason why Tucker always flew under the radar in Houston despite terrific numbers
