#50YearsAgo in the Daily News - October 10, 1975. Bill Conlin on Paul Owens making off season deals at the World Series. Key takeaways: the #Phillies never got any of the guys he mentions, Bill really wanted to see Lefty go, the Downtown Ollie Brown shout out.

The #Phillies "0 for 4" era is over. And it ended in a way that no one in a million years could have ever predicted. A real shame too, because this was one hell of a ballgame. 123 days until pitchers and catchers report. www.springtrainingcountdown.com

I'll never be used to it. There's a reason they don't use it in the post-season. Because it's fake baseball.

Kind of a downer.

Why so dark? Looks like the end of the world.

Yep, we must, as a nation, save TikTok. For math. Sure.

I'll never understand how A-Rod ended up on my TV screen instead of hiding in the shadows in disgrace hoping he wouldn't be recognized.

Cut the chord 12 years ago. Watching the game on YouTubeTV.

Well that doesn't disprove "better longer." To be fair, that is yet to be seen.

"No ghost runner if this game is tied after 9." You know why? Because that's FAKE BASEBALL.

I lean Red Sox because my dad grew up in Worcester and was at the game in 1967 when they won the pennant. I liked the 1970s Sox, actually, but the 21st century/post-curse version is insufferable.

Baked McBride @baked21.bsky.social · 9d

But I'm glad they're playing each other in this firs round. Guarantee that we get rid of one of them right off the bat.

At the end of the Yankees-Red Sox game, the ESPN announcer screamed "REDEMPTION FOR THE YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!" at the top of his lungs. Dude. They lost one game. WTF?
