Hey MLB, this extra inning thing is pretty exciting. Maybe you should adopt it for the regular season instead of the stupid ghost runner.

This is the only way extra-inning games should be played. Not a ghost runner in the conversation. Players have to put on big-boy pants and score runs the old-fashion way — if they can. Mad props to SEA and DET pitchers and defense.

In celebration of World Octopus Day, we wanted to revisit one of our favorite cephalopod sightings, the glass octopus — Vitreledonella richardi filmed during a month-long #PhoenixIslandsCoral expedition in 2021.

Some classic playing-out-of-the-back hijinks from Arsenal Women. 1-2 down now.

No longer in the USWNT rotation either. Maybe she needs the proverbial change of scenery? I guess we're gonna find out.

So much for this prediction. Boone was smart to avoid his bullpen.

I hear the idiots on ESPN burying the Red Sox, but they forget the Yank**s arson squad is about to take over. It's not done yet.

Did a black cat just walk in front of the Cubs dugout? (Yes, Met fans need something to amuse us in this particular baseball season.)

Triple screening tonight, with the Red Sox on one, Gotham v DC on the another. Unfortunately, the third is my work computer where I'm doing a mail server upgrade.

Jarren Duran just made the dumbest play in sports, diving into first base. You're allowed to run past first, so why slow yourself down?

I'm sorry to have been right about this, but the @mets.com have done 2007 all over again. They even blew it against the Marlins, just like back then. Changes are necessary.

Melissa @mskenny.bsky.social · Sep 12

Is there a reason the Mets are forcing us to re-live 2007? It wasn't fun the first time.
