In the spirit of this place and positivity, I am going to start a post that includes some random Petco Park scoreboard fun facts from over the years.

Not everyone will like them, but even if just one person gets a laugh out of it or brightens their mood, well, that’s sort of the point. Enjoy.

The outcome was never in doubt. Just the inning 🤢

Barry Bonds would have been safe at second base

Just do not understand how he doesn’t get the Bonds treatment. 2025 Mookie Betts is not pre-2025 Betts, WADR.

Running routes short of the marker on third down against zero pressure seems like an odd choice

It's a comically-bad bit at this point (to try to be that guy)

Seasons where one LCS was sweep & other went 7 games (LCS best-of-7 since ‘85):

2025
2012
2007
2006
1988

Each of the 4 prior times, the team winning the 7-game LCS won the World Series, too

What Buster Posey’s pursuit of Tony Vitello means — and what comes next for Giants

The Giants' pursuit of Vitello, a college baseball coach, could indicate a change in how teams look at their managerial vacancies.

Barry would have loved being pitched to like this

Excuse me but where are Vicki's dad (Three's Company) and Freida Claxton (Golden Girls)

Saw this gem on Opening Night last night at the San Diego Civic Theater. Just as fun as when I saw it in NYC. Highly recommend!

The Arizona game was almost lost due to a punt being fielded inside the five. That should have been the last time, but the issue reared its ugly head again twice in Tampa. Any indication that this is being addressed?

Jeff Praught @jeffpraught.bsky.social · 15d

Getting the ball at the 8-12 yard line every time instead of the 20 is bad math

Jeff Praught @jeffpraught.bsky.social · 15d

Niners’ fetish of fielding punts inside their own 5 isn’t helping, either

The sheer joy of sports BlueSky right now is making me smile. This is what social media is supposed to be.

We were robbed of walk-off catcher’s interference or a pitch clock violation

If there were a Time of Possession-like counter for these teams’ at-bats, Mariners would be crushing it and Tigers dragging

Just wildly wonderful playoff baseball. Excruciating in the best way.

Random thought: thinking about Seattle scoreboard crew & camera ops (not broadcast ops) who bleed as much for their team as fans do, & how, in a potential clinching walk-off, they have to execute camera shots/stay in focus, graphics ops, other button pushers, DJ, etc... all while wanting to explode

Where’s the beef ?

Surely someone in the NFL has been to a dance festival in, say, the month of June 😝

Cal Raleigh and Babe Ruth are the only players in MLB history to hit *exactly* 60 home runs in a season. Both hit HR 6️⃣1️⃣ in the Postseason on October 7, in their final AB of a win in which their team scored 8 runs:

Ruth 10/7/1927
Cal 10/7/2025

Manny Machado has played in 8 postseason series with the Padres. He has now homered in 7 of them.

The only one he missed was the two-game Wild Card sweep of Atlanta in 2024.
