Love going to Wrigley and I generally disliked Miller Park on my one and only visit BUT I will always be grateful to @nicolehaase.bsky.social for helping to throw a killer tailgate party during the Milwaukee #HEIST, so let’s go Brewers tonite.

Very important note: the second “stretch” of the game should occur during the sixteenth inning and *not* the fourteenth as the sixteenth inning is the seventh inning of extra innings.

Let’s fucking go Tigers (would sooner die before I root root root for the wretched Mariners)

Just saw an IG reel (foobooz) from today’s Scrapple carving contest at Reading Terminal Market. I think you all need to see it too.

Bring me the head of Aaron Boone on a platter and I will dance the dance of the seven veils.

Sports fandom was a mistake @iracane.bsky.social · 4d

Nobody hates their manager as much as Yankees fans viscerally hate Boone. Sorry but we’re Number One in visceral hate. Count the rings!

Thank you

Good time to remember that there are no truly great coaches in any sport. Literally none, ever. There are shitty ones and decent ones and pretty good ones, but the good ones only ever look great when they have elite talent, and will look mediocre or even shitty as soon as they don't.
