Nice! I just got a new pressing of Giant Steps today in the mail. Such a great album in its own right.

I know everyone hates the dodgers but I have a special place in my heart for the city of Los Angeles. Lived there for 3 years and my firstborn was born there, great memories…so tough for me to hate them. But I get why ppl do. I’m also a big Ohtani fan.

Haha love it!

I’m rooting for the Mariners in the ALCS. And probably beyond if they make it. Not because I’m a huge Blue Jays hater. That would be reason enough bc I am (rooting for them vs. NYY notwithstanding). But my entire in-law family is from Seattle/Tacoma. I even have a Rainier hat. I gotta go M’s.

Wouldn’t it be funny if Papi made Julio Rodriguez do the “Daaaaaa jankees lose!” bit? 😂

That was the appropriate voice levels for a winning walkoff run in the 15th inning of game 5 of a Division series. Not so much for a double play that ends the inning.

Damn really?? 2012? Wow ok. Well at least I got the playoff year part right haha. Memory only works half well these days.

2012. I remember because I woke up for my 8 AM class and only missed the end of the the game by like an hour.

Winston @wrigs.bsky.social · 9h

I’m starting to get vibes of that O’s - Mariners 17 inning game back in, what, 2014? Or was it 2016? It was definitely a playoff year for us. Back when O’s baseball, and twitter, were fun. That was a peak O’s twitter night haha.

I actually don’t mind Pierzynski and Waino, but the play by play guy is the worst. Stop screaming! There’s a way to express excitement without shouting at us. Shh!

We certainly do! Haha. Good call. You can be excited without screaming.

This announcer doesn’t need to be this aggro Jesus Christ. Guy is screaming into the mic. Vin Scully you are missed.

A little pregame pomp and circumstance. OPACY is electric!

Bradish finishes off what he started. O’s up 1-0 in this best of 7.

Cedric visits Eutaw Street!

Gunnar gets the O’s on the board with an rbi triple!

Winston @wrigs.bsky.social · 15h

First as the O’s take game 1 of the series 4-0! Gunnar stays blazing hot, Cedric homers, and Kyle Bradish absolutely shoves with a CG shutout. Game highlights below! #orioles

Winston @wrigs.bsky.social · 15h

O’s vs Twins, ALCS game 1. Lots of intrigue with this series as Byron Buxton will be taking on his former team, who traded him for the deadline. For whom you may ask? Jordan Westburg and Ryan O’hearn. A blockbuster deal at the deadline! All 3 players will be looking for revenge…and Buxton gets his

Every time a Philly sports team loses in devastating fashion in the playoffs, an angel gets its wings.

As a longtime friend of the Shapiro family, I was happy for Mark and was cool to see him celebrating in the box after the game last night.
