Well worth the suspense, IMO. I haven't seen relief pitching that effective in forever.

Fact!

I'm looking forward to the Blue Jays/Mariners series! Some fresh teams in the playoffs.

FINAL: Mariners 3, Tigers 2

The Seattle Mariners are headed to the ALCS for the first time since 2001 and will face Toronto after Jorge Polanco walked off Detroit in the 15th inning. It was the longest winner-takes-all playoff game in MLB history. Amazing night, amazing series.

What a win by the Mariners! It's probably the best baseball game I watched all year.

Last year, the Yankees' season ended in the World Series.

This year, it ends in the ALDS.

If this phony Italian Jack Ciattarelli calls tomato sauce “gravy” one more time…

And that sexist comment about “Jersey women not liking to pump their own gas”? Please. #NewJersey

If Schlittler has another good game, it'll be interesting to see how even more ridiculous his card prices will be.

It would be nice to have him back on a discount if there are no takers. I believe he was a good influence on Soto.

Don't Call Me Al @thepennyhustle.bsky.social · 6d

If he has a good spring, I'd be fine with Vientos as the full-time DH w/ Marte. We can't just punt the output from the DH position next year. However, he is also a valuable trade commodity over Mauricio at this point.

I wonder if Cyclops and The Thing bond over being New York Mets fans and having to deal with the misery of being Mets fans.

Maybe as a stop gap until Ryan Clifford is ready down in Syracuse mid-season? 29 Homeruns and 93 RBIs is hard to neglect.

Yikes. I don't blame you. Collecting can get addicting, absolutely no pun intended.

Don't Call Me Al @thepennyhustle.bsky.social · 6d

I'm in the hundreds since returning. However, I have a junk wax collection in the thousands that I keep in storage. I'm going to concentrate on what I've picked up since last year mainly.

I have a unsorted stack of cards sitting in front of my computer waiting for me to chip away at.

Don't Call Me Al @thepennyhustle.bsky.social · 6d

I'm going to sort through my collection this month, and assess what I no longer need/want, and probably use the Sunday give away threads to part with a few cards and make some trades.

I just need to find the time of course. ⌛

I paused my baseball card collecting in late July. Got back into it during last year's #Mets playoff run, but this season’s letdown, along with completing most of my wish list has cooled my enthusiasm. I was a very casual collector, and I still plan to be going forward.

Giulia speaks fluent Italian. With so many Japanese women on the WWE roster, you’d think they would lean more into her Italian heritage. That could be especially valuable when promoting their 2026 PLE in Milan. #WWE

It's always about the coffee! 😀

Good morning. Coffee and nice weather make it all better.
