If you want more Patrick Stewarts, then you publicly fund the arts and learning programs, so that working class kids can find their way into making a career in them.

As we all celebrate by naming guys, I want to throw out that the Brewers are the ultimate guy-naming team. So many names worthy of advertising for local plumbing companies (complimentary)

I thought small market teams couldn't compete

UPDATE: Brandon Woodruff To Pitch Ninth Inning of World Series Game 3

MLB Trade Rumors@mlbtraderumors.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Three months ago, Brandon Woodruff - the longest-tenured Brewer - announced he had to undergo shoulder surgery that might’ve been career-ending. Now he’s on the mound closing out Game 3 and bringing the Brewers one win from a World Series victory. How can you not be romantic about baseball?

Someone should pay to run this alongside the Liberals are the new racists ad.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

I just came here to figure that out and…apparently yes. Sigh.

was that "liberals are the new racists, I'm afraid to show my face on camera because I'm white" commercial national? christ

An openly white supremacist ad followed by a Sydney Sweeney ad? The commercial breaks are like vacationing in hell.

Contreras should be the 2026 World Series MVP just for winning so many ABS challenges

i cannot believe the brewers are making me have object permanence about brice turang

a checked swing is something you feel in your heart

I missed this era so my response to these pictures was, and I quote, “OH.”

KD Casey — Read Breakout Year Today!@kdcaseywrites.bsky.social · 2w ago

was i looking up pictures of willson and kyle hendriks earlier this evening? mind your business

what does it say about the national party that there are candidates running on the dem ticket buying ads saying that some people are technically subhuman without reprimand or even comment. would you abide that for any other group or is this one special

Apropos of…well, the last two books I’ve read: if you want your characters to sound like real people please *use some contractions.*

as someone with no real rooting interest, I hope this goes to seven games

“Has there ever been more pressure on a guy in a dark room in New York?” I mean, I’m going to go with…yes.

This also confused me re: Megills.

SMOLTZ THINKS THIS IS TYLOR

I saw this on my timeline during the last inning break, thought “wait, where IS Megill now?” and then he appeared on my TV. Magic!

The lockout is 40 days away. When it comes to a salary cap, everyone at the World Series — commissioner, players, owner, union leader — is saying, well, exactly what you'd expect. Trevor Megill: "No cap, no floor, it’s not happening." www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

I like how the one with the implied conclusion that pro baseball players are predominantly werewolves definitely sends a message about the veracity of AI but uh not the one they’re going for.

Since we haven’t killed them, here’s another link to my piece about the insipid Google Cloud ads

(seeing the Yandy Díaz graphic) you know, radio wasn’t so bad

Garrett Mitchell getting so excited he forgot what he was asked was adorable

Also good luck to mlb as they try to force a lockout under the “small market teams have no chance” narrative on the heels of the Brewers, Guardians or Rays winning the World Series. Whoopsies!

The Brewers finished with a three true outcomes pct (PA ending in HR BB K) of 47.0% That’s the highest by any team in a best-of-7 postseason series all time

Two 436 ft homers today from catchers I love baseball

this should tell newsroom leaders something I think is very obvious: actively chasing "conservative" news readers doesn't make sense. because conservatives don't read the news!

People of all genders read romance books. Bryce Harper reads Elle Kennedy. Multiple ballplayers have mentioned liking the Fourth Wing books. Interesting that the millionaires in a hyper masculinized profession are more willing to mention than the average leftish bro.*

also between us, you don't know the gender of who's writing your books. there are lot of authors who are basically collections of ghost writers. there are a lot of pen names that are secondary and tertiary pen names of existing authors. gender is a construct and so is author dot amazon dot com
