Letting my kids stay up to see the end of this Mariners game may have been a mistake…

BRING OUT THE DINGLER

Ty Schalter @tyschalter.com · 1d

like okay man, whatever floats your boat but i didn’t consent to be involved in your kink scene

The Detroit Tigers’ catcher, wearing gray pads and helmet that perfectly match his gray road uniform. It looks real creepy and weird.

we are clowning the shit out of that person. just reading them for absolute filth

static klinger @jessespector.com · 1d

bringing your glove to the game and actually getting a ball hit to you and dropping it is the most embarrassing thing that can happen to a person

WOOOOOOOOOO

There, now that entire sequence doesn’t matter and we’re all one inning closer to death

Aside from whether it hit bat first, he also very blatantly offered at that. Just a brutal call

counterpoint: if he hit the ball it would be more likely to score one run? lol

The lesson of this Robles plate appearance, as always, is that bunting is stupid

I think the Weiss tenure is going to be brief

Prem Thakker ツ @premthakker.bsky.social · 1d

Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.

Now this is my kind of article

Rollin Bishop @rollin.bsky.social · 1d

Counting just DVDs and up – not VHS or digital purchases – I have 493 movies and TV shows on physical home video.

I'm not saying you should be where I'm at. But I am arguing you should consider getting closer.
