What if the Beagles just aren’t that good?

⏱📋David Steinberg⏱📋 @zzyzx.bsky.social · 9h

So the moral of the story?

A team that blew its chance to clinch because the other one finally found their bats having to face their ace - and a Cy Young contender - in the next game can indeed still win it.

As a fan of the most snake bitten team in baseball who will be playing an elimination game tomorrow, I'm not at all terrified at what's in store for us now. Really.

Please please make that be the Baseball Gods punishing a fanbase in this this round.

I pointed out to Mel that Glasnow (the Dodgers' pitcher) has cool hair and she definitely agreed.

⏱📋David Steinberg⏱📋 @zzyzx.bsky.social · 13h

I know Dodger fans are late arriving but the outfield just looked empty in the top of the first.

The whole food thing pisses me off a lot tbh, especially because I have a restricted diet due to diabetes. But yeah, definitely seasonable depression too because that's when I go to bed at 4 PM on weekends and get excited because it means I don't have to figure out dinner.

But do they still use the "Put a tiger in your tank" ad line?

Why don't you care about global warming? You're in the pocket of Esso!

Coming from the Jewish perspective of "Choose continued living in most circumstances," this sort of attitude is so bizarre. It's people who want to claim oppression without having to actually deal with it.

I did that for 3 weeks in September and it did help.

The Yankees thread on PT last year had people bitching that the season was over... when they fell behind on Opening Day... in a game that they won.

They went to the World Series mind you.

Just if you get strange looks for saying that out loud, now you know why!

If they're happy, good for them. I don't see why it's news.

⏱📋David Steinberg⏱📋 @zzyzx.bsky.social · 18h

You might have but I was letting you know. "Pants" in the UK is "underwear" in the US.

FYI "Pants off" means something different in the UK.

This is one of my favorite songs from the last decade and I was glad to see it!

At least they didn't suggest anteaters.

The travel poster looked like so many others. A lush forest behind a serene beach. The text said "Be something exotic!"

"Sorry, there's a typo on your poster. I think you mean 'somewhere'?"

"No. We can make you to be, say, a bear, tiger, or hippo, for up to a week."

"A hippo? Tell me more!"

What's fucked up about Yankees fans is that they react that way to a random road game on May 19th. Even great teams lose games.

Only if you mean us!

I had a bad feeling about yesterday’s game when I played wordle.

Guess 3 agony leading me to the correct word: annoy.

If your team is in the playoffs and you’re not overreacting to every pitch and doing the “it’s so over/we’re so back” dance, are you even paying attention?
