Passed by a bunch of them just wandering the sidewalks this weekend with nothing to do.

Great use of taxpayer money, I’m sure everyone of all political stripes would agree

Absolutely pointless.

Are you inviting me over for dinner? And do you live on the F Line?

Noah Frank @noahafrank.bsky.social · 7h

NY friends: I will be in your city this week (for work). Please give me your weekday lunch/dinner recs, preferably not too terribly far off the F Line

Last night was definitely the most fun I’ve had on here during a sports event. More of that in our rare, fleeting moments of calm, please

Gotta say I’m happy, for Flaherty’s sake, that they didn’t run him back out there for another inning

Noah Frank @noahafrank.bsky.social · 2d

Was talking with my wife about this last night during the Phillies game — not sure there’s any sports role more thankless than pitching in a tie game, in extras, on the road, in an elimination game. You cant win the game. Your season can end on any pitch. Best case scenario is, it doesn’t

As far as I’m concerned, there have never been any 12-inning Wild Card games

Jason Lukehart @jasonlukehart.bsky.social · 2d

Not counting Wild Card games, this is the first winner-take-all postseason game to go 12 innings since Game 7 of the 1924 World Series.

Walter Johnson, after throwing four scoreless innings out of the bullpen, was the winning pitcher in that one.

The tension of all these moments is also such an indictment of the implementation of the Manfred Man during the regular season. Busted-ass rule.

Detroit/Seattle has “both teams split in Detroit, it’s tied in the bottom of the 8th in Game 5, Safeco is going bananas, and who knows what happens from there” written all over it

Zero walks for either starter over 11 combined innings in an elimination game in 2025 is incredible

Noah Frank @noahafrank.bsky.social · 2d

The only downside of having the best pitcher in the game is that when you take him out, everyone else looks that much more hittable

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise
