Clayton Kershaw is now the second pitcher ever to give up 100 or more earned runs in the postseason. He's at 102. Andy Pettitte gave up 117, but Andy Pettitte also pitched 80 more innings than Kershaw has.

Jerry Jones said his accidental gesture was part of an exchange with Dallas Cowboys fans, not New York Jets fans, sitting in front of him.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

The best player in the world sacrifices $12.6M over the next two seasons to (hopefully) finally win his first Stanley Cup. A truly unbelievable bargain.

Harrison Bader is an Art Guy.

He's painted since he was kid, studied art history in HS, and goes to galleries in his free time.

He paints "a lot" of portraits during the offseason (and used to during the season, too).

"It gives me time to unplug from the world.” www.inquirer.com/phillies/har...

The Phillies’ Harrison Bader has been painting since he was a kid. And it’s helped shape his game.

Bader took an interest in art history in high school and still paints. It’s helped him get through the highs and lows of his major league career, while keeping him in “the present moment.”

the best i can figure is whoever wrote the prompt wrote Schumer’s lines but added “and make it really racist” with no further context at the end and that’s the best the AI could come up with

the jets rule. best team in the nfl, hands down. week in, week out there is no more enjoyable team to watch than the jets. just good enough to be flashy and impressive, teeing up perfect moments for their pants to fall down to their ankles. a timeless bit

at this point any Dem senator willing accept a commitment from a GOP senator is at best a cognitively impaired person in need of daily care and not fit for service. and that’s the best possible interpretation. anything else is simply deliberately trying to enact Trump’s agenda

good lord, dick durbin wants democrats to give up their only remaining leverage this year for an *informal commitment* from republicans. www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

For instance, some Democrats indicated they could be open to funding the government with simply a commitment from Thune to extend health care subsidies in the coming days.
"It would be a real mark of progress. I hope that's considered by him. That's progress, as far as I'm concerned; whether it's enough, I can't say," said Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-II. "If we're not sitting down talking about ending this responsibility and helping people deal with health care, it's going to be a rocky road."

You used MLB.tv to watch a whole lot of regular season baseball. But now the playoffs are here, and you are trying to figure out how to watch playoff games that are on different channels. How can you do it? We're here to help.
