Game 5 for the NL ALDS, Brewers v. Cubs! What a series this has been!

Thrilled for the Blue Jays; on tenterhooks for Seattle; happy with either Milwaukee or Chicago; truly bummed for the Phillies.

Would love to see Brewers-Blue Jays, with Toronto to take it all!

The most ignominious thing a pitcher can do is walk in the winning run in a World Series game.

The second most ignominious thing a pitcher can do is this.

The poor guy.

Absolutely brutal way for the Phillies to lose, Dodgers win the series

Obama neither sought a nomination nor campaigned for the prize once nominated. Of course, reality doesn't matter in an 'alternative facts' USA.

He is not a federal anything. I'm astonished he could pass even a rural county sheriff's department PT standard.

It's mainstream as well: dad gives the bride away, bride changes her name to that of her husband's family, &c. All these 'traditions' are rooted in the historical reality of marriage as a legal contract controlling the transfer of property.

It's 1903 hrs EDT on 9 October.
I have just seen a Home Depot 'holiday' ad promoting exterior decor and lighting.

Really, assholes? You couldn't let us even get past Halloween decorations before flogging 'holiday' shite?

Especially since the Committee has repeatedly said this year's prizes are awarded on the basis of submissions made in 2024. There is no story here at all.

Why do so many American oligarchs have so much money invested in Argentina? Who are they?

He figured he could tell them that lie, like every other lie he told for their votes, and they would never call him to account.

He won't.
The current year's awards are based on work submitted in the prior year. Even if Temu Hitler was to get one - and he won't - it would not be until 2026 at the soonest.

Is this why I seem to be impervious to advertising?

I ought to have said 'every national broadcast outlet', as the local broadcasts obviously have a bias towards the home team.

That would track, given NESN is the Sox' network.

So long as we remember that 'great' can be a negative, I'd day the rape and murder of the US by DJT and MAGA, via TS and X.

This makes it sound like Judge is owed a ring.

Judge can ask to be traded to a team that has better prospects for a title. He is not a victim.

She doesn't understand that this regime is willing to shoot US citizens in the street to avoid releasing those files because the regime is fully implicated in them.

Hasn't he announced he would have a new health care plan in two weeks about 8 times since 2016?

Every outlet has a strong Yankees bias. The game was in the bottom 9th last night and those twats were speculating on NY 'forcing' GAME FIVE when they were 2 outs away from losing Game 4.

I never thought of it that way, but you are correct. This heavy burden for the team's success is paid by the fan.
