🚨 IMPORTANT: If you begin playing Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace at exactly 11:38:48 PM then Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray will say “Ah, Victory” at exactly midnight. Start the new year off right.

I don’t think I’ve seen a single person care about these Cubs-Brewers games, NLDS Game Five is really going to have to raise the game tonight after the last two days

I do feel slightly cheated we didn’t get a classic “Tigers have finally scored one!! / but now the Mariners have answered back with one… and we go on”

That is an incredible gimmick

(We do the same thing now but with 5 mascots for the 5 NY boroughs. One of them has never won too but I don’t think they’ll let the Bronx Giraffe have one even in those conditions)

He’s a man who knows what he likes in baseball and that thing is bunting, no matter the situation, no matter the count, no matter the skill set of the player involved

Let the record show that it wasn’t just that the game wouldn’t end but that both teams would get the leadoff batter to second with nobody out in almost every inning and then improbably strand them there

He would have been a great constitutional monarchy if he hadn’t kept sabotaging every flirtation with constitutional monarchy to attempt to rule as an absolutist

Eliminated by the two ALCS teams respectively!

(The Jays and Mariners are two of my favourite AL teams, I’m genuinely really happy this is the matchup; thank god no more Houston/NY nonsense)
