If I was running MLS, I simply wouldn’t have a playoff system where a team could tie twice, win once, and outscore its opponent 7-5 and still be eliminated. But what do I know?

Just a little surprised that Jorge Polanco didn't get a qualifying offer from the Mariners. I don't think he'll get an offer with an AAV more than $22m, but Gleyber Torres got one from the Tigers and I don't think they'll end up signing deals too far apart on AAV.

Do the Rockies know they're the Rockies or are they leaning into being the Rockies as a bit? At this point, it's hard to tell!

Finally landed my first two interviews after sending out more than 50 applications over the last two months. Between those and last night, I think I’m feeling … hopeful? I think that’s what that is.

solidarity and community is everything. it's how we get liberation. we can see that it WORKS. that's like my biggest takeaway from the NYC mayoral race. we take care of each other and this is how we can win.

Wicked has taken over our house this Halloween. I guess it’s a reprieve from Frozen. Not even the stormy wind and rain could dampen their spirits.

Georgie! I love reading this book for bedtime and the kids love it too, but my wife keeps trying to get rid of it — I’ve had to salvage it from the give away pile at least three times.
This is the best Halloween or Halloween-adjacent book of all time. I'm pushing 50 years of trying to live the Mr. and Mrs. Whittaker lifestyle.

I never saw myself getting all emotional about baseball and writing something like this, but this gosh dang Mariners team made me do it.
I also don't think my experience is unique, so if you're missing someone and baseball helps you miss them a little less, this one's for you.

I threw 140 pitches in my final college baseball game. I hope with all my heart there is another Mariners game this week I’ll need to summon the words for.
If there’s not, well, I hope you can feel every pitch I wrote in this one. www.lookoutlanding.com/editorial/13...

Trey Yesavage's splitter was excellent, but the Mariners just couldn't get out of their own way in Game 6. My recap for @fangraphs.com plus a quick look at how the Jays aggressive approach at the plate has neutralized the M's starting pitching: blogs.fangraphs.com/with-a-quick...
