Incredible headline in the LA Times this morning

Los Angeles Times "playoffs extra" cover, depicting the Dodgers' 2-1 win in 11 innings over the Phillies in Game 4 of the NLDS. Main picture shows the team mobbing Andy Pages, who hit the ground ball that pitcher Orion Kerkering threw away for a walk-off error (second picture shows Kerkering picking up the ball about to throw, with Pages running to first base in the background), with the headline A GAME OF THROWN, and the subheader "Based-loaded error in the 11th gives Dodgers a series-clinching 2-1 win"

Glad to hear Jayson Tatum will be leveraging at Duke.

Old NBA Twitter would be thrilled

If you’re an Australian basketball fan, do me a favor and go find the Bulls/Cavs highlight I just did.

I promise you will enjoy.

Victor Oladipo has 21 points at the half for Guangzhou Loong-Lions against the Clippers.

I assume his agent’s phone is on.

She was so crowded by AT that she had to start her jump with the ball WAY OUT on the wrong side but she had enough lift to, as you say, somehow square this up

It’s not just the players that are in preseason form

There is so much about this shot that is just incredible to me.

1. I don’t think A’ja *saw AT coming with the double team. She may have anticipated it, but when she spun, she couldn’t have known what she would see.

2. Watch A’ja’s follow through. Her wrist barely flicks. That’s rare.

3. Clutch!

The amount of people I know in their 50’s with absolute expertise in a subject who are out desperately looking for a job is remarkable.

If I’m hearing this correctly, in the preseason, sometimes “Less is Mo”

I’m sure these same old folks were all out protesting when Linda Carter appeared on their TV screens each week as Wonder Woman.

There needs to be a word for this sort of tech circle of hell.

Once a week I “Unsubscribe” to a marketer only to hear back that their mailbox is no longer active.

So effectively I’m doomed to receive these annoying emails… forever

I was so contemptuous in year one and suddenly fully bought in in year two.

Can’t explain it.
