A question from the stands:

If Major League Soccer doesn’t care enough to watch their own games in order to write about them, why should we watch their games?

As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:

This sucks so hard.

MLS is using generative AI to write match recaps. Writers used to get paid freelance rates to do that. Hssssss.

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

Hey Mariners fans! We installed the Richter Rizzs seismic station at T-MobilePark yesterday. You can track the energy in the ballpark live at mariners.pnsn.org! Let's rock T-Mobile Park! #SeisTheMoment #SeizeTheMoment

Seattle Mariners lead radio announcer Rick Rizzs is kneeling in front of banners that state Richter Rizzs and are in front of a green seismometer with a Pacific Northwest Seismic Network sticker on it.

If you think a game about going after the KKK would be controversial due to the current political climate, it's a good sign you should make a game about going after the KKK.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Fair! As someone with a rooting interest I would rather they not go to 5 😆 but playoff baseball crowds are pretty great.

Leah @leahbee.bsky.social · 4d

Game 5 would be in Seattle so you're out of luck there either way.

He deserves this

The fan with the dump 61/62 here shirt got to meet Cal after the game and get a bat and ball autographed by Cal.

The guy who got the Cal home run was a Mariners fan with “dump 61 here” on his shirt!!! And he had a 62 shirt on underneath it! 😂

The man described in the post, wearing a teal shirt with dump 61 here written on it.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.
