I’d like to think that the Cubs are doing some kind of exorcism and the Brewers go on some massive slide as a result but the next week is absolutely going to swing in the other direction isn’t it

Matt Shaw proving that his politics aren’t the only thing that would thrive in a slow pitch softball league

“sure the entire emotional core of the story relies on scrooge being unambiguously wrong and realizing that but: what if it didn’t?”

Airport opinion: I don’t necessarily *need* TSA to be nice. I also understand why TSA protocols differ slightly between airports. However, to expect casual travelers to understand protocol at each individual one and then publicly scolding them when they don’t is a tough look.

Tyson Bagent looks really, really good. I think I’ll miss the security he provides as a no. 2 someday when some poor franchise gives up too much to make him a starter for a year.

Padres back to the “it’s so over” stage of the cycle. Cubs now residing at “we’re so back.” What a whirlwind.

Padres keep throwing this game in the trash and then the Rays take it out and give it back to them and then they throw it in the trash again. Not what you want with Arizona playing SF. Padres will be outside the wild card picture tonight. Probably a game and a half back by tomorrow.

Holy shit Zavion Thomas is so fast

P3t3

Should’ve designated Trent Thornton tbh

Giving up home runs to Jose Trevino is certainly a choice

Too much modern culture only understands politics as a form of performance art and not as a form of individual and/or collective action, even though the latter is what politics actually is.

Dolly Parton lived with a gay man for years. She was a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ folks and a philanthropic champion of childhood literacy and education, vaccines, and the black people in her community. "We don't know what her politics were"? Please. She lived them. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/27/a...

Wherein it’s suggested that this will lead to more late inning apps for “Jason Adam” who has not appeared in a game since June with no imminent return. Come on, man.

This guy comes to Wrigley this weekend. Again, I’m sure it’s fine

I owe you an apology, Héctor Rodríguez. I wasn't familiar with your game. His 423-foot home run (115.2 mph off the bat) ended up in McCovey Cove.

Cubs really about to be just two games up in the wild card after throwing multiple games in the trash over the past few days. I’m sure it’s fine.

This is not even close to the most important takeaway from this garbage but the irony of saying this about the W while over 90 percent of the NBA’s entertainment value comes from actual drama is pretty wild.

Media Matters for America@mmfa.bsky.social · last wk.

Fox host: WNBA players are “proving that women shouldn't have a league. It's too dramatic.”

Oneil Cruz homer to probably give them the game over the Padres while the Cubs are blowing the lead in AZ. Not an ideal sequence of events for people who cover both of the offending teams.

Cubs should keep him.

Clay Holmes follows Kevin Gausman's 7 shutout innings last night with his own stellar performance of 7 shutout frames tonight vs. the Diamondbacks. Over his last three starts, Holmes has allowed only 1 run in his last 19 innings.

Not watching the series (blacked out & not paying actual dollars to listen to Berthiaume and Bob Brenly) but seems like the Cubs did nice work against the Snakes’ actual best pitcher over the last couple of months.

I’m grateful it’s still on at all, but it is a little depressing that Hard Knocks is like 32% slow-mo and cool camera shit. It’s like watching the last season of Peaky Blinders.

I was fully prepared to say I’m not mad at all about this and then I saw the orange helmet

Contract the Browns

It has been a fairly sleepy stint in the Sunday Blog Chair today, but I did get to spend some of a lovely summer day writing about this very tiresome man's exceedingly tired shit: defector.com/deshaun-wats...

Deshaun Watson: Very Telling That Browns Fans Would Boo Me For Being A Lousy Quarterback And Shitty Guy | Defector

There are a number of very obvious reasons why Cleveland Browns fans might boo Deshaun Watson, all of which are a matter of public record and none of which Watson can really afford to concern himself ...

Padres' Fernando Tatis Jr. Is, Once Again, One of the Best Players In Baseball

coyg, imo

Never doubted Alex Bregman

Like most things the Brewers do, I’m of the opinion that this shouldn’t count. Until it’s off an actual pitcher, he’s still at zero.

Luis Lara's first career home run

(Fernando Tatis Jr is also on a wonderful heater right now. Two homers so far tonight. First one was 450+.)
