Sudden death baseball will return tomorrow. Going to have to wash my "came out swinging" tshirt so I can wear it again tomorrow, because it clearly brought us good luck today. Good game. Phils played a lot more like themselves, which is what I really wanted.

I love Nick's ritual of untucking his shirt the second the game is over. My man loves the end of the workday.

1. On Monday, Trump delivered a $70 million windfall to his billionaire buddy, John Paulson.

Paulson hosted the biggest fundraiser of Trump's 2024 campaign, raising over $50 million.

This week, Trump returned the favor.

I couldn't miss what might be their last game of the season. I am very sleepy, tho.

I'm sad I'm going to miss the game tomorrow because I've got a once-in-a-lifetime work thing, but I'll watch the replay

My guy needs to think small from now on if we make it through this. I appreciate the intention, but it has become a real problem.

I’m gonna say it: Bryce Harper has been singularly focused on trying to give himself a highlight moment this entire series and it has repeatedly killed us.

Kershaw is so homophobic he doesn’t even think two strikes should be thrown together

Yeah, it's going to be an interesting off season. I'm actually most worried that we're going to lose Ranger, which feels likely. Middleton is on record saying that "the money is easy" though, so we'll see.
