I teach at a community college. I am a caretaker of elderly parents. Constantly and consistently failing at trying to find time to write.

Rooting for funniest possible baseball outcomes

Hello to all the new people. 👋
People listing their favorite teams again. /takes a deep breath/ ok here we go: I watch mlb but don’t have any favorite teams. I just watch whatever game seems good, has players I like, and I root for no one. I don’t care who wins it loses (seriously). I love chaos, and ✨might be good at jinxing✨

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

Just overheard my dad explaining to the dog that there is only 20 minutes left in the game and then they can go to bed.

It's really disappointing to click on someone's account bc you'd like to follow them and it's full of AI slop

People will have a lot to say bc they always do. But I'll just post this picture of the time Kyle Hendricks saw a dog and asked if he could hold it. And the dog owner said sure and asked if she could take a picture and then this happened.

Ordered nachos, which in this town is almost always a mistake, and this time there was unmelted shredded cheese sprinkled on top.

Betcha it's because they think reading is for women.

Thrilled for Brendan and thrilled for us that we get to read Brendan. It's time for the public sphere to take all the great writers back, pillage MLB until there's nothing left but empty suits
Well if it isn’t just the best news. @bgawlowski.bsky.social is a gem, Fangraphs is better for having him, and now I can mock him in public again.

There are too many problems. There should be fewer problems.

We could see the pitcher rigging a bet by deliberately throwing a ball and the batter rigging a bet by swinging and missing and the ump rigging a bet by missing a call and the manager rigging a bet by getting thrown out in the first inning

Another reason I'd never bet on baseball. You never know what is going to happen.
This is one of the pitches that was supposed to be a ball, but Andy Pages swung anyways.

I want to reiterate that gambling addiction is incredibly destructive and if you're trying to apply logic to it you likely won't find it. Addictions are irrational. Saying “I don't get why someone would do this” is applying non-addict thinking and it won't help you understand.
November 9, 2025 at 7:29 PM
Oh look that thing that we all said would happen has happened
Breaking news per Jeff Passan: “Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been indicted by prosecutors in Brooklyn on a host of charges related to a scheme to rig bets on pitches thrown in MLB games. Ortiz was arrested in Boston earlier today. Clase is not currently in custody”

If this isn't already illegal, it needs to be
Musk used Grok to animate Sydney Sweeney to make her say “you are so cringe.”

Not only does it look and sound awful, I don’t think he understands how embarrassing this is for him.

But Manfred would never do something unseemly or illegal while in a position of power in MLB!
