The real trick is going to be making my little neighbors think I love them the most when at every single moment I can’t even decide whether I love baseball or figure skating the most

I guess I’ll have to balance watching live baseball on Friday with live Skate Canada and handling trick-or-treaters which already felt like a bit much. But okay I’ll be brave and tell my little neighbors (by name) that their cheap store-bought polyester costumes look great even if it’s a white lie

I don’t think even Sarah Langs has a good way to verify that quickly

Could this be the first World Series game in which the name of one pitcher of record translates as the name of the other pitcher of record?

I’m amazed that you’re still awake

I suspect that Mary Hart’s husband has become a Weekend At Bernie’s situation before our very eyes

Who will stay longer? Marlins Man or Mary Hart?

Moments like this are probably the one time I have a strategic advantage as a night owl. I’m not tired at all

imagine being Rob Manfred, watching this intense world series game and saying “this would be so much better if a fake runner had ended the game five innings ago”
