I don't know how things are going to play out on #TheWhiteLotus but I do know that we're about to be inundated with a slew of new Aimee Lou Wood reaction memes and I think that's great.

7 years, $210 million, get it done and then get to work on the pitching. #LGM #MetsSky

Devastated to learn that Diane Keaton has left us. RIP to an icon. 😔

Yay Mariners. Yay baseball. #ALDS

15th inning. #ALDS

Uh, now, eventually you do plan to have a winner in your winner-take-all baseball game, right? #ALDS

It really blows my mind that Major League Baseball players are simply incapable of dropping a bunt anymore. 🤦

The Mariners in the top of 12th. 😮‍💨

Ben Deutsch 🎬 @benlikesmovies.bsky.social · 1d

Incidentally, see how much better extra innings are without the ghost runner??? And this would be true in May as well as October. They really need to get rid of that god-forsaken rule.

Playoff baseball is the best (now that my most-hated teams have been eliminated and I can enjoy an extra-inning, winner-take-all affair, completely free of stress or vested emotional interest) ⚾❤️

Literally could not have written a crueler and more soul-crushingly brutal ending to that game for the Phillies. YOU LOVE TO SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😈

Man, I don't know what I love more... the fact that Vladdy hates the Yankees with all the fires of his soul, as I do... or the way A-Rod and Jeter were forced to sit there and take it like the cucks they are. Put it in the Louvre. 🤣

Vladdy: "DAAAAAA YANKEES LOSE!"

Saw the new Daniel Day-Lewis picture last night. GOOD BOY tonight. AFTER THE HUNT Thursday. TRON: ARES in glorious IMAX Friday. ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, round two, this time projected in glorious VistaVision Saturday. I believe this is what the kids call "eating." 📽❤️

The "Red October" narrative is so funny. There is absolutely no aura at that ballpark. Literally no one is intimidated by that crowd. Their 999 Challenge involves li'l weiners and baby beers, for Christ's sake. Lol, dare I say, lmao.

Ben Deutsch 🎬 @benlikesmovies.bsky.social · 5d

Dodgers and Phillies both trying so hard to not win this game.

Ben Deutsch 🎬 @benlikesmovies.bsky.social · 6d

Well, whether it was a joke or not, it's a moot point because the fans who might have done most of the roasting are in no position to do so at the moment. 🤭

I don't disagree! Of course he has earned it. But you have to admit that him publicly posting about going to Cancun (which is already a common jab when a team fails to make the playoffs) while our top rivals are still playing in October makes him a prime target for roasting. That's Social Media 101!

Man... Soto is leaving himself (and all Mets fans) wide open to getting roasted with this post. 🤦‍♂️ #LGM #MetsSky

Extra innings with no ghost runners. 👌

Go Blue Jays 🫡
Go Trolley Dodgers 🫡

That is all.

Mildly surprised about Hefner, since he could only do so much with the clown car full of pitchers that he was given to work with this year. But good riddance to everybody else, especially Chavez and Sarbaugh. 👋 #LGM #MetsSky

Ben Deutsch 🎬 @benlikesmovies.bsky.social · 12d

I agree, but hey, you gotta give some to get some. And if Stearns is as smart as he thinks he is, maybe he can pull off a heist. 😆

Ben Deutsch 🎬 @benlikesmovies.bsky.social · 12d

No doubt, there's always a risk. But the same risk exists for our young guns. For that level of generational talent, I'd roll the dice.

They shouldn't, but they're the Pirates. They're gonna lose him eventually either way. Might as well get a haul for him now.
