I hope someone alerts the Wall St Urinal of what the Brewers are doing today. Henderson is the player asked for that essentially killed any deal for Skubal. If they hold on to this game the Crew wins the tiebreaker v the Dodgers.

Is it odd that there are so many empty seats at Dodger Stadium on a beautiful Sunday afternoon with a NLCS rematch having their newly acquired stud starting? Asking for a baseball fan.

The Giants, who traditionally have one of the most glorious uniform designs in sports, including most of their alts, are staying true to the Shitty Connect MO with this clown show uni and hat. They look like cartoon characters.

This 💯! I used to love going to the ballgame a talk baseball the whole time. Now we can’t even hear each other for the constant din. Everything at a game caters to the non-fan these days.

Baseball—and many other sports—used to offer games with very little sound besides the cheering of fans. But now stadiums have nonstop stimulation, acting as theaters as well as sports venues, @elcush.bsky.social writes:

It’s a good thing Miz isn’t pitching today or I would have been seriously pissed off when I realized the game’s on Peacock. Instead I’m only typically pissed off. I should get $5 back from my MLB TV sub every time a game is on one of these bullshit channels.

The Cubs are the second team in MLB history to win by 15+ and lose the next game by 15+, joining: The Boston Beaneaters defeated the Chicago Colts (now Cubs!) by 17 runs on Sept 10, 1894. In Boston's next game, they lost to the Colts by 15 TWICE EVER, BOTH INVOLVING CUBS IN CHI h/t @EliasSports

Well yeah, if Watergate happened again it would have gone off without a hitch because no one would have known about it until a year later when Woodward and Bernstein's book came out.
