Fun bible fact of the day: in the original Hebrew, it's not frogs plural, but just one giant frog that comes and plops itself down and covers the entire land by itself. Beeg frog boi

First time long time. Do you think Kai and Carlos will get dinner together when the Mets play the Astros? I'll hang up and listen.

I actually wondered if the teams would do a trade based around a Casas for Vientos swap to fill both of their needs, but this would fill that hole for the Sox as well. Pete would be fun in that ballpark, what's the record for the hardest hit ball off the monster in team history?

How Pete Alonso would fit in Boston, and other observations from a reporter’s first season covering the Red Sox - The Boston Globe

Alonso, one of the preeminent sluggers of the decade, is looking for a new contract and perhaps a new team.

Let's say, hypothetically, a ball is hit off the wall in right field, and the runner is the slowest person in the world and is thrown out at first. It's not a fly out because it hit the wall, and if it's not a ground out whats the third option?

thank god the red zone channel started running commercials. when it was commercial-free i'd get to 7:30 p.m., look at how i'd spent my day, and realize i'd burned through an entire sunday without growing or developing at all as a consumer. and if i'm not a consumer i'm nothing at all

Hell yea, and when he finally does cut to the game we immediately get a redzone ad that plays over the live broadcast

Lev Gerstle @onmylevels.bsky.social · 3d

Hawaii called the "kill our own receiver on the concrete field" play. I think it worked

Tbh, any of these teams would be a fun story for the WS this year.

But the collective freakout of the owners if it's a Mariners/Brewers WS, going into collective bargaining where they're going to try and set a salary cap because they say small market teams can't win?

Give it to me. Need it.

Mike Petriello @mikepetriello.bsky.social · 3d

Dodgers vs Brewers.

Mariners vs Blue Jays.

That's just full of fantastically fun stories and potential matchups. Can't wait.

Lev Gerstle @onmylevels.bsky.social · 3d

@sickoscommittee.org whats the highest average points scored over a five game set where the team is also 0-5. Because Air Force is averaging 36 points and is 0-5 in their last five...

Boarded my flight in the fourth inning of this game. Got diverted back to original airport because of mechanical issues. Landed in the 8th. Boarding the plane again to go home and the game is still on.

AJ PIERZYNSKI: this would be the perfect time for a bunt.
