I have news.

"Grandpa, what was it like in the olden days?"

"Greg Maddux topped out at 87 and was the best pitcher in baseball."

"MOM, GRANDPA NEEDS HIS MEDICINE."

I'm old enough to remember when not every pitcher in baseball had a 99 mph fastball

Should have bunted him over.

Jason Davis @davisjason.bsky.social · 28m

Do people understand how hard it is to make a pitched baseball spin that slow?

Jason Davis @davisjason.bsky.social · 31m

This is a perfect time to try out my idea for extra innings, bunts only

Found out this week that Ken Griffey Jr. doesn't own the trademark on "The Kid" because of his deal with Nike so I hope he's getting paid well for the weird organ ad.

Just turned on the baseball. Who should I be rooting for?

Sorry Todd, but you're wrong about this.

For the old heads, Malik Tillman is the Kevin McReynolds of the USMNT.

I can't handle losing to a team whose manager looks like he sold weed to the cast of The Real World: Seattle.

"Republicans blocked paying the troops during the shutdown but found $20 billion to bail out Argentina's bad crypto investments" should be the sort of thing that leads every local newscast, but...

Aaron Fritschner @fritschner.bsky.social · 10h

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period.

Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes.

Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.

The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt.

The good news for Trump is that he can still win the Taco Bell Cheese Prize, which recognizes the person who did the most over the last year to promote the Cheesy Gordita Crunch.
