Did you just tell an AI to blend William H. Macy's and John C. Reilly's characters from Boogie Nights?

Shocking new footage proves that they resumed the football game that Bane blew up after he made his big speech. This is from the second quarter.

Love the "excuse our mess, we're still open!" backdrop for the FG

Mizzou lining up a FG, the backdrop is an under construction section of the entire end of the stadium including orange hurricane fencing and a bare concrete wall

Bullpen? Even if Woo could pitch, Miller might still have to do Game 2? Hard to speculate on Castillo and Gilbert right now

We're doing it! We're recreating the path of the past! Just imagine how horrible this place will be in a few years!

This would be a pretty great time for Bryan Woo's pec to start working

You ever look around and think, "wow, it's incredible any of this even came to be, the fact that we even exist in this moment is a plain miracle, all of it totally contingent on accidents of history like A.J. Hinch pulling Tarik Skubal (at least) one inning too early"?

ALCS Game 1 media notes:
"The blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) is an extinct species of passerine bird that lived from the late Miocene until its extinction in the Holocene epoch."

Obviously it's too late for me. I am a washed and chopped unc, a hideous shambling corpse. But Eduard Bazardo is Yorman's brother, and not his son, and I am putting that one in the W column.

haven't read it in forever, but it's about how fear of the ball is the main obstacle of hitting, IIRC?

There haven't been many close pitches this game (sliders usually aren't close pitches), so not many controversial ones. But that pitch to Crawford was not the right time for a 3-0 autostrike call.

One lesson from this postseason: If batters are going to bunt, they're clearly going to have to come up with a plan for "fastball at your sternum"

when Kirby bobbled a comebacker earlier this game and then calmly picked it up and threw to first... well to steal Peter LaBuza's bit: bsky.app/profile/labu...

This feels like the craziest thing: The White Sox, an original franchise, have only had one winner-take-all game in their franchise history. Wild Card round in the covid season.

J.P. Crawford WAS bunting. That's how he bunts. Humungous 500-foot overswings.

I think LDS Game 5 is maybe actually better than WS Game 7. Plotwise, WS Game 7 is fundamentally an act of destruction.

typed that one fast as I could because i knew it would be relevant for about 18 seconds

Pretty simple from here: Naylor steals second. Naylor steals third. Naylor steals home.

Mariners burned Calzone and brought in LEO RIVAS just to get Holton in the game, he's gonna be thinking about this for a while

Should be a law that, when you're highlighting a pitcher's great stuff, you can't use Javy Báez ABs
