Had to have it, and they got it. Lots of room for improvement, but a walk-off win (and series win) ameliorates things.

Not…not a great start to the homestead, Mariners. A decent game, but it’s not enough to be close and decent-ish at this point.

Great win, Mariners. Impressive stuff there from Muñoz.

Ok, Don Canzone. Left on left, too.

I have been driving essentially all day, from southern Oregon to Olympia, and it’s been extremely weird weather-wise. Was rewarded with post-storm sunset, as much as the Sounders tried to spoil it.

I have timed this just so; my pitching name is Floyd Gin. I would’ve been Floyd Mozzarella a little while ago, and that’s good, but what about the bag charge and the shallots and tomatoes? Are we being honest here?

your baseball pitcher name is your grandfather’s first name and the last thing you bought i’ll go first mine’s Dominic Sandals

M’s picked him up late in 1996 for a PTBNL, and he raked. Good go-for-it kind of pick-up; good process. It’s not like the minor leaguer was a hall of famer or anything. :checks earpiece: You are never gonna believe this…

they’re doing it on the other app and I’m having a blast so I’m bringing it here top 15 american indie rock songs

I just feel for Flo Balogun. Scores twice in the opening game, Trump v. Barbara, a case in which the current admin is trying to strip citizenship from people exactly in his situation, is announced on June 30th in frustratingly ambiguous fashion, and then he’s red carded the following day.

Norway vs. England in the World Cup with a chance to face France in the final is activating Dennis Miller particles you guys could not previously detect

Well deserved by Morocco, but always a bit sad to see the CONCACAF teams go out. I can detest them during qualifying, but support them in the finals. Good run, Canada.

Congrats to Norway, who not only have never been this far in a World Cup, but they have to suffer through English pronunciations of all of their names, which is surprisingly hard for English speakers. He’s used to it, his dad dealt with it, but Erling’s last name sounds nothing like “Holland”.

We are one or two Algeria wins from Tinariwen selling out Allen Fieldhouse

Things I never thought I would type: look at how they greeted the Algerian team arriving back at the DoubleTree in Lawrence, Kansas

Oooh, Obed Vargas in for Mexico as they try and hold off South Korea.

This Messi guy seems good.

What on earth? Just stunning. The Wu Tang game will never be forgotten.

“What’s wrong, grandpa? You’ve not touched your jeffsamardzija. I know, you can’t get fresh uguethurbina here, but I think it’s great.” She saw her grandpa’s eyes, wide and wet. His chest heaved silently, ericking in some terror she couldn’t see. Grandpa clearly knew the “stranger” across from them

The hairs on the back of her neck stood. It was still, cold, and the weathervane had stopped ericking in the wind. Something was wrong.

The hockey is absolutely bonkers. This is the distilled essence of the @jonbois.bsky.social tweet. I’m a neutral here, but the drug is upgraded to crack cocaine, the motorcycle remains, but it’s jumping out of a low-earth-orbit vehicle.

Growing up I walked around with this huge secret that I could feel wanting to burst out of my chest. That’s why this Pride Month I’m partnering with the good folks at Weyland-Yutani to -

Oh Oh, I love Her So by the Ramones. Got to Give it Up by Marvin Gaye made a strong challenge, but gotta go with what is probably my favorite Ramones song.

What’s your favorite song from the year you were born?

I always think AI maps struggle with lesser known or less populous places, but no- FIFA’s AI map was bad but recognizable in the west, but as you get closer to New York, it just kind of melts away.

Damned basketball game really is as addictive as everyone says. Would love to know more about how it ranks these teams. Just got 82-0 with a team that feels like it’s in the 65th percentile of teams I’ve made? Is it just maximum number of pts/reb/asst/etc? Play 82-0: www.82-0.com/share?id=HPB...

Well Victor, it’s a walk off frozen rope for a hit in the box score. Good win.

Congratulations PSG. Not exactly a scintillating match, but two great teams.

First final I can remember where I honestly wish they hadn’t played the extra time. I think every player on the field agrees with me. What an ugly watch that was.

Ok, let’s see if that livens this game up a bit.

About as clear a penalty as you can get.

Was a little worried about this M’s series in Sacramento against a team that was playing really well. Instead, these past two games have been the most low-stress, easiest wins of the season (Mild 9th inning nonsense tonight aside). It’s a nice surprise.

Luke Raley becoming a dependable complementary bat and a more-than-solid regular. We’ll just toss out 2025.

Astros finish no-hitting the Rangers with the delightfully named Alimber Santa pitching two perfect innings in the 8th/9th…in his big league debut. Wow.
