What are the rules for walk-off hits? If I hit a single with the bases loaded that end the game, does it end as soon as the first person touches the base? Can the rest of us keep running and pad my stats?

I guess you can only let the other team get two runners on with no outs so many times before they finally figure out how to get one of them across the plate.

President Trump said that he’s placing an additional 100% tax on Chinese imports starting on Nov. 1 or sooner, potentially escalating tariff rates close to levels that in April fanned fears of a steep recession and financial market chaos.

Trump threatens tech export limits, new 100% tariff on Chinese imports starting Nov. 1 or sooner

President Donald Trump says “there seems to be no reason” to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping as part of an upcoming trip to South Korea after China restricted exports of rare earths needed for American industry.

We live in a country where the government honors insurrectionists who sacked the Capitol, and defines peaceful protest, even before it occurs, to be terrorism.
They know their position is weak, they know they are unpopular, which is why they are seeking to stamp out dissent.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

Think of the worst sci fi movie you’ve ever seen and this is probably still an order of magnitude worse than that. It is impressive in its badness. But not in a fun way.

They’ve let Scattebo get 3 10-yard runs on this drive alone. This defense is so bad you could confuse it with the Cowboys defense.

I just turned on the game and the Eagles currently do not look like the best team on the field, which is very weird given we’re talking about the Giants.

You hint at this but

5) So has Hamas.

You won’t believe what degrading practice the Pope just condemned

Communication must be freed from clickbait and misguided thinking, head of Catholic church tells journalists The Pope has condemned clickbait as a “degrading” part of journalism, at a private audience with global newswires. Australian media representatives were among those to hear directly from Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican on Thursday with about 150 members of newswire alliance MINDS International. Continue reading...

If you're a fan of the Yankees take solace in the fact that since 2010, you have the second most wins in Major League Baseball, have made it to the playoffs 12 times in 15 attempts, and won zero titles.

Cheerio!

If you're a fan of the Yankees take solace in knowing that you cheer for the most successful team in the history of professional sports and no matter what happens weirdos named Damion will always obsess over them....

as soon as the pandemic social distancing hit, I predicted that this would ignite the most terminally online era in human history - and I do think I nailed that

I think it’s because this is the first disruption that was paired with widespread, mature internet entertainment platforms. Some latent “hyper online” tendency got activated in lots of population where it was previously dormant.

Yeah, on one hand he put up god tier numbers and has got to be relieved he doesn't get the Clayton Kershew treatment for the rest of his career but on the other hand it's got to make the choke job of the rest of the team that much more painful.

Between this and their Christian Nationalist school superintendent being shown the door, I'm wondering what happened to inflict Oklahoma Republicans with some semblance of cautious decency.

Oklahoma’s Republican governor criticizes guard deployment. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/u...

Gov. Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma, a Republican and the chairman of the National Governors Association, on Thursday criticized the deployment of Texas National Guard troops to Illinois as a violation of his beliefs in federalism and “states’ rights.”

His comments, in an interview with The New York Times, marked the first time a Republican governor has questioned the interstate deployment of National Guard troops over a governor’s objections. Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois and other Democratic elected officials have been strongly critical of the move and have implored Republican governors to join the opposition.

Mr. Stitt on Thursday said, “We believe in the federalist system — that’s states’ rights,” adding, “Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration.”

You seem very certain that I am heavily invested in the fate of the Red Sox. I am not, although cheering for them if their opponent is the Yankees is the purpose of all good and decent Americans. Same with the Blue Jays and Dodgers.

I mean, that's not what Yankees fans were saying every year except 2009.

Only three things are constant in this world: death, taxes, and the Yankees complaining about their manager after a season where they don't win it all.
