Family was sick this week which means we’re postponing the big Thanksgiving meal with my parents until tomorrow. Looks like pork roast is on the menu tonight! 🚫🦃

This is the way. @jamellebouie.net Knows Ball (Star Wars)
if you let me write a star wars movie it would be an adaptation of the rogue squadron/wraith squadron books. post-jedi, early new republic. captains wedge antilles and tycho celchu must assemble a team of pilot/commandos to take out a gathering of high-ranking officers among the imperial remnant

Challenger by Adam Higginbotham was absolutely engrossing. Finished it in less than a week.
Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

It was assumed when the news of Root Sports demise broke a few months ago, but this article confirms that ESPN will be handling in-network broadcasts for the Mariners (along with five other teams) and the out-of-network MLB.tv service.
NEWS: MLB is set to announce its new TV deals with NBC, Netflix and ESPN, sources tell @andrewmarchand.bsky.social.

NBC will become the new home of the first round of the playoffs and Sunday Night Baseball.

It only took 25 days for @brittneybush.bsky.social to manifest Josh Naylor’s contract. Huge improvement over Cal Raleigh’s extension, which took 135 days.
I add a new hockey logo to Josh Naylor’s jersey every day until the Mariners re-sign him

If I was running MLS, I simply wouldn’t have a playoff system where a team could tie twice, win once, and outscore its opponent 7-5 and still be eliminated. But what do I know?

Just a little surprised that Jorge Polanco didn't get a qualifying offer from the Mariners. I don't think he'll get an offer with an AAV more than $22m, but Gleyber Torres got one from the Tigers and I don't think they'll end up signing deals too far apart on AAV.

Do the Rockies know they're the Rockies or are they leaning into being the Rockies as a bit? At this point, it's hard to tell!

Finally landed my first two interviews after sending out more than 50 applications over the last two months. Between those and last night, I think I’m feeling … hopeful? I think that’s what that is.

Wicked has taken over our house this Halloween. I guess it’s a reprieve from Frozen. Not even the stormy wind and rain could dampen their spirits.
