An incredible team! With an incredible season. Excited to see them play next year!

I've absolutely fallen in love with the Blue Jay's during this post season.

What an incredible team. They should be so proud.

And dear God, do I hope George Springer gets better.

Hello welcome to bluesky. We have every kind of anti-government radical left of center, and also, baseball

I just found out I can't fit the box it comes inside my car and now I'm considering if it's crazy to strap to my roof.

Polls show that only 33% of Americans blame Democrats for the shutdown. But at this Atlantic staff Zoom meeting, that percentage feels much higher.

this is the Pope

his entire thing is going around waving to crowds and looking happy

he is also such a White Sox fan that this is the maddest - and most human - I have ever a pope look

Mar Awa III, patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East, also born in Chicago, gave Pope Leo a Cubs jersey.

Mar Awa III, in red cassock, smiles as he gives the jersey to Leo, who looks as though he's been given a bomb to hold

Okay, but earlier tonight I proposed to the wife that Shohei should just play every position across the regional division series:

Let him be a catcher against the Padres; a short stop against the Diamondbacks; an outfielder against the Giants. Let him ump a Rockies game.

Just do it all, man.

I’m not watching the baseball but I am watching you all watch the baseball and I am once again asking why they don’t just make a whole team of Shoheis Ohtani

I want there to be an MLB.tv option to watch every game with the Quebecois commentary.

It's truly a delight.

This must be what it’s like to meet Odin when you enter Valhalla. www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

The stars were plentiful, and in the aftermath of the lunacy, one of them stood in the Dodgers' clubhouse, still trying to process what happened. Will Klein, the last man out of the Dodgers' bullpen, a reliever who had topped out this year at two innings and 36 pitches, threw four innings of one-hit ball and struck out five on 72 pitches. The last of them, an 86 mph curveball, induced a swing-and-miss from Tyler Heineman and a scream from Klein, who understood what had been asked of him and knew he'd delivered.

Games don't become classics without efforts like Klein's -- and he had an admirer who wanted to acknowledge that. Into the Dodgers' clubhouse strode Sandy Koufax, his eminence of Dodgers pitching, who, at 89 years old, looked no worse for the wear at 12:48 a.m. Koufax walked up to Klein, stuck out his hand, looked him in the eyes and said: "Nice going."

Post from sports writer Andy McCullough reads: “I requested the great Dieter Ruehle play Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus” on the organ, and he obliged. Someone must deliver us from this game, and it might as well be the songwriter Martin Gore.”

SNAP is probably the most effective federal dollar we spend in terms of long term domestic economic outcomes.

that isn’t why you should support it; you should support it because it is a moral imperative to feed the hungry.

but it’s why even a growth-oriented ghoul shouldn’t oppose it.

Hurricane Melissa which is en route to decimate Haiti and Jamaica rapidly intensified to category 4 storm. Rapid intensification is a hallmark of climate change, but that category is only a measure of its wind speed. It is also expected to bring up to 40 inches of rain
