One of the best results of my decision to abandon my childhood home of Los Angeles at the age of 17 is that I didn't grow into an adult Dodger fan.

I am having trouble with my rule in the case of the Mariners v. Blue Jays. I have nothing against the Mariners, but Vlad, Jr. and Alejandro Kirk are both adorable.

I do want the Brewers to win more, but only a smidge more. This is because of my usual rule (not applicable to the Yankees, though) of rooting for the team that has the longest World Series drought.

Of the living broadcasters that I've listened to, Dan Shulman approaches closest to my ideal of "baseball guy who gets it." Mind you, I grew up listening to Vin Scully on a transistor radio the size of two packs of cigarettes.

Are you going to be live-posting your reactions to the game?

I have two separate bagel orders depending on the purpose. For a meal: toasted poppyseed bagel, cream cheese, lox. For a snack: toasted salt bagel, lots of butter, and best if accompanied by a chocolate egg cream.

This painting is what I associate with his name. Aside: early on in my life with computers, I made the initial letters of this painting's title into an oft-reused password. Thank goodness for password vaults and random password generators.

Don't read this if you don't want to be spoiled on the October 9, 2025 Artle.

A painting by Benjamin West, "Agrapinna Landing at Brundisium with the Ashes of Germanicus." It's a complex scene with many figures wearing ancient Roman dress. The widow Agrapinna is in the center, accompanied by two small children. She holds a metal urn.

I know some of this artist's work, but none of the images in today's puzzle made me think of him.

Rachael Hamlet @karmamylanta.bsky.social · 2d

Same. I haven't yet laid hands on a gaming console because I am too old and stubborn to immerse myself in an entirely new medium of entertainment. Yet sufficient knowledge of games has penetrated my consciousness to allow me to solve the puzzle.

That is impressive. I'm pretty sure I've never done that.

Rachael Hamlet @karmamylanta.bsky.social · 2d

Cause this game is fire.

Whenever I get a Wordle with only one known letter, it feels like I must be psychic or wildly lucky. It feels like I cheated somehow.
