Do you let him close it out with a really short leash?

Hoping my Mariners fan friends live the dream (sweep every series, win world championship, pop champagne as meteor erases humanity, die on top and freed from Mariners baseball forever)

@popville.bsky.social Not sure what it was, but something happened at 14th and Monroe NW that closed the whole intersection

Police tape seen cutting off sidewalk to the intersection of 14th and Monroe St NW in DC. Multiple police are in the background.

I still think the trade made sense, but it’s starting to feel like the team downgraded at third and that sucks because Geno is so lovable.

Holy shit that game was awful and agonizing and so so so good. Go Mariners. Might as well go win the whole fucking thing.

Interesting: I've gotten reports (and screenshots) of an online poll asking questions about a possible head-to-head contest between Chairman Phil Mendelson and former Ward 2 Councilmember Jack Evans for D.C. Council Chair. Mendelson has told me he's running for re-election.

I read this in the “Me and Cloris Leachman” song from pistol shrimps radio and only just now realized I was adding “down” between headed and to.

Robert Lintott @rlintott.bsky.social · 7d

I saw that too. And someone else filed an ethics complaint. Good on them.

I also got this in Ward 1 and wondered the same thing. Given her entry into the Delegate race today it seems pretty clear it was a campaign mailer under the guise of council business.

Pat Host @pathost.bsky.social · 12d

Why is Ward 2 Councilmember Brooke Pinto sending me, someone who doesn't live in Ward 2, a glossy mailer?

Not enjoying it, really. But I think that has less to do with playoffs and more to do with the Mariners lineup looking like the worst version of themselves, which is just plain unenjoyable to watch. I (think) I’d be just as angry watching this in June as I am now.

If you can sync it up Rick, Gary, and Aaron on the radio are (as you’d guess) amazing.

That’s a great point. 0-1 to him is far worse than 0-1 to… almost anyone else.

I know Skubal is good (understatement) and I don’t discount that. But the Mariners have literally beaten him twice this season with Castillo on the mound. Why is everyone acting like this is a gimme game for the Tigers?

We’ve gotta find a different adjective for A.I. because I just keep seeing these and wondering why people are mad at Weird Al Yankovic.

Cannot believe I got to watch the Mariners win the AL West again. This is the damn best.

I find myself feeling badly for him, because he’s so good and been with the team for so long and… will always be an afterthought after Dave.

I agree that Rizzs didn’t make it, but good grief, if Rizzs isn’t even in contention that says a lot.

I love the idea that the Mariners could celebrate three straight nights: for the postseason, division, and bye. All with the Rockies right there
