It's bad enough that Trump did the opposite of what he promised: He made America NO LONGER great, because he rendered America no longer good.

But now, he wants to remake America in his image.

the things that upset trump aren't name-calling: fascist, criminal, pedophile etc. — it's digs about his corporeal self: small hands, small penis etc

so if you want to get to him, forget the insults and start a rumour, like, he has a name for each of his haemorrhoids? or maybe he smells of ladders?

He's probably so dumb, he doesn't know his history. So, Angel Hernandez.

I was rooting for the Tigers. That's how old-school I am.

But I'll take the Mariners over the Blue Jays.

And I'll take the Cubs or the Brewers over The Los Angeles Baseball Team.

Deserve's got everything to do with it.

Ballgame over: Seattle Mariners 4, Detroit Tigers 3. The M's are in the American League Division Series for the 1st time in 24 years.

Since 2001. Since they're playing those pesky Toronto Blue Jays, I hope they do better than they did that time.

Former Yankee Tommy Kahnle takes the mound for Detroit in the bottom of the 15th. This is where Seattle wins it.

Fish races in Seattle?

Fish races?!"

They'd have done better with Starbucks cups.

We go to the 15th inning. Rob Manfred hates this. I love this.

Bottom of the 14th, deciding game. No can say whoever wins this game didn't earn it.

Then again, this plate umpire has a two-foot-wide strike zone. I'm glad he didn't call any of the Yankees' games.

But I don't have to worry about that until March 28, 2026, do I?

We're going to the 14th in Seattle.

If the Yankees had this kind of defense, they'd be awaiting the winner of this game.

He didn't want to pitch to Raleigh.

Well, this sets Big Dumper up to be the 13th inning clinching walkoff hero.

This plate umpire is a liar! A pitch outside and at the ankles is NOT a strike, yet he screwed the last 2 Tiger batters on pitches like that!

Dear Rob Manfred: This is better than your stupid "ghost runner" rule. Sincerely, all true baseball fans. #ALDS #Tigers #Mariners

I wrote this a year ago, after the hurricane that wrecked Tropicana Field:

Here's an idea: Make John Fisher's Sacramento/Vegas team change its name, and make the Tampa Bay Rays the new Oakland Athletics. The Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum is a better stadium, anyway. (No, that's not a joke.)

Michael Pacholek @michaelpacholek.bsky.social · 16h

And THAT is how you handle a comebacker to the mound in a win-or-go-home game!
