Congrats to your Phillies. But don’t undervalue Yankees Schadenfreude!

Really impressive outing by Suarez, though I thought that Ohtani ball was gone.

I wish the Guardians were still in it, but I have to say it’s a LOT less stressful to watch playoff baseball when your heart isn’t on the line.

Cleveland is great at pitching development; hitting, not so much.

Stunned Guardians fans watch in amazement as Ernie Clement and Amed Rosario look like slightly above average players in the post season.

I wrote about an under-appreciated aspect of AAUP v. Rubio. It is the first case of the Trump Era to explicitly identify and reject the primary and most pernicious form of speech suppression employed by this Administration: Chill.

I know Skubal is (deservedly) getting a ton of attention, but this pitchers' duel between Snell and Luzardo is a treat!!!

Detroit hasn’t lost a 5 game series where Skubal started two games since (checks notes) the 2024 ALDS!

Odd choice to use Hoffman with a 9 run lead.

On your DS predictions, I just wanted to point out that Skubal started Games 2 and 5 in last year’s ALDS and the Tigers still lost! @enosarris.bsky.social @dvr.bsky.social

The Trump Administration’s “Compact of Excellence” for Universities is... far from excellent! Indeed, it’s unconstitutional. In this post, let me count the ways.

The Unconstitutional Conditions Doctrine and the Compact for Excellence
Members of the Trump administration love to say that federal funding is a privilege not a right and therefore something that can be granted or withheld based on changing administrative priorities.

Congratulations to the Guardians on salvaging what looked like a lost season, but sorry to see it end. The team just has too many weaknesses to realistically make a deep playoff run. For Christmas, I would like a very consistent RH power hitter.

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
