Googling longest postseason games and Google AI says that the Tigers have won this game!

This was the longest winner-take-all game in postseason history by innings, with the Tigers ultimately winning.

I took a power nap in the 14th inning, so I’m raring to go for a while now!

My elementary principal had that clock and I was fascinated by it.

Obviously, that led me to acting up just so I could see that clock.

AJ calling for a bunt and a pinch runner would be superb.

If Pitch 4 wasn't called a strike, the Mariners would have had the bases loaded with no outs.

@jonbois.bsky.social Appreciate the Tigers and Mariners performance of 17776 tonight, only with baseball instead of football.

Assuming MLB didn’t have the zoom in option that Fox showed?

That was a 2-6-3 double play on the bunt. Tigers are getting a raw deal here

A lesson I was taught when I was a teenager: a good ump never lets a game go extra innings.

Shane Drahota @sdrahota.bsky.social · 10h

Regardless, that had to have hurt like hell.

My son’s class was reading The Diary of Anne Frank last week. I had to explain to him that was literally happening in our country right now. Think I rattled him a bit with that.

Can’t believe this is where we are.

RIFs can’t be done without agency leadership so this is RFK Jr extending his purge of CDC scientists to help Vought’s shutdown agenda. Genuine public health risks created by aggrieved men.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Amazing thing about this isn’t even that none of it is true (none of it is), but that on Sunday morning, every news show will have Republicans on to soft-pedal some similar fiction to cover for the fact that ICE is literally kidnapping people in the streets and Republicans shutdown the government.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

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

Esmeralda 7 Solar Project Has Been Canceled, BLM Says

It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

(He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize
