And the Tigers are now out of it, if I wasn’t clear. This was one discrete playoff series and the needed four wins for the Mariners might come in the next round.

God I loved that game. The pain, the suffering, the absolute drag, the self inflicted punches to the face. The feeling of relief when it's finally over.

The truest form of baseball.

The Seattle Mariners have never been in the World Series but now they’re four wins away from it after a grueling playoff game vs. the Detroit Tigers that went 15 suspenseful innings

I remember loving it when Arod got a walk-off homer in the 15th and, years later, hating the imposition of the ghost runner. So I’ll take this.

I lived in Seattle long enough to want them to win. And to want beer. Although I didn’t have to live there to want beer.

Top of the 14th. When did they stop serving beer? I would be out of there.

Real talk: Postseason baseball is much more fun and enjoyable when your team isn't playing.

Aaron Judge should get the Peace Prize. That three-run homer changed Game 3.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Johnny Cash: L7

The Wall Street Journal @wsj.com · 1d

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

Nobel could save the world if they gave the prize to Stephen Miller. The rightful winner would abduct him to a secret prison.

The Yankees absolutely, inarguably, need a new manager and a new shortstop next season. I think we all know it will be Boone and Volpe though.
