This year marks just the fourth time in 20 years that none of the East Coast ratings behemoths (Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, Mets) qualified for the AL or NLCS. First time since 2020 (also 2011, 2014, 2016).

pretty good list, as far as these go, though tipping off with 'Drops Of Jupiter' nearly made me throw my electronic device through a window. But kind of a vital memory-jogger to encapsulate the atomized era of consumption.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

There’s nothing special about the #Yankees that entitles them to emerge from a 12-team pool and win a championship. In the baseball pantheon, they are The 58 Percenters, which really isn’t a bad gig.

The New York Yankees failed to win the World Series. Join the club.

Yankees' championship drought continues but is it really worth getting mad about in 2025?

If this is his last postseason pitching appearance, then Kershaw being sent out to eat innings and sacrifice what remains of his postseason era is very Baseball Jesus
