New pinned post/thread. 🧵

My husband of 19 years @kevingaustin.bsky.social passed away suddenly on 11/11/24; if I seem grumpy or sad or am slow to respond-- that's why! The obituary I wrote for him is below.

I need everyone to know that when I say “omg this is too many innings” I really mean “I love this so much please never end”

From 2021. It was definitely a thing. 😂

I enjoy seeing Polanco run around the field trying to avoid teammates after walkoff wins.

Laurel Krahn @wintwins.bsky.social · 14h

Hip hip!

(Remember how he'd try to avoid people throwing things on him? I'd kind forgotten about that.)

whoa whoa whoa 2019 Laurel what are you talking about

Old Tweets from WinTwins @wintweets.bsky.social · Jul 10

Kershaw versus Polanco is totally a World Series matchup preview (unless it’s not).

Laurel Krahn @wintwins.bsky.social · 14h

LOL what is this picture from 2016

Old Tweets from WinTwins @wintweets.bsky.social · Sep 11

I assume Polanco just saw Miller's stats.

Laurel Krahn @wintwins.bsky.social · 14h

obviously a very important detail

Laurel Krahn @wintwins.bsky.social · Jun 1

Jorge Polanco is wearing number 7 with the Mariners. I think I knew that, but it's been awhile.

Laurel Krahn @wintwins.bsky.social · 14h

Still can't believe Polo did it. Good for him.

I don't think there's been any one in particular at least not in the years when I was seeing the race regularly. Often had fans in the outfits running and who won was kind of random I think.

You can’t script it. The Mariners are willed to victory by Humpy the fish finally winning his first race in the middle of the 15th inning. The crowd chants “Humpy Humpy” as the trident crosses off the ALDS win.

Amused by people arguing about whether long extra innings games are good or not. Ah, social media.

Jorge Polanco with the 15th walk-off hit in a winner-take-all game in postseason history

17th walk-off win in a winner-take-all game overall

INCREDIBLY … the only other ALDS winner-take-all walk-off win?

Edgar’s double

BASEBALL!!!
