My cat went to the vet today for a routine checkup that was, if you listen to him, the end of everything that is good and worth living for. Anyway, if he can find comfort in the worst of times then so can I.

Once again we reach that day of reckoning. The day that comes once a year where I ask myself “should I get in to hockey or something?”

I’m flying to San Diego for my first ever visit there tomorrow, including taking in a Padres game at Petco. Idk if I have any San Diego mutuals on here but any recommendations gratefully received, especially for the top ballpark foods and drinks. Also of interest, tacos and beer. Gracias in advance

Mets fans, did anyone happen to get a capture of that silly Keith animation that they had on the broadcast on Wednesday? My wife had, understandably considering the time and trajectory of the game, quit and gone to bed when they showed it and I’m struggling to explain it to her

Mets fans, free SRO ticket for anyone who wants it for this afternoon's game. It was cheaper to buy 2 than to get 1, which seems like an indication of how things are going right now

14, soon to be 15. I was shocked by how many I’d done, to be honest

I’m starting to think that Jeremy Hefner must have broken some humongous mirror a few weeks ago. What is happening here?

No, we must hold firm. Do not succumb to creeping linguistic imperialism of (checks notes) everyone outside of these five boroughs and parts of New Jersey

I was in almost this exact spot when Senga left his comeback start against the Braves with a leg injury last year and I was right here when he fell to the ground today. Fingers crossed for a quick recovery and that I don’t have to stop attending Senga starts (or at least standing somewhere else)

The Rockies have some great looks but their road unis look like they were ordered from a catalogue. No real vibe. Maybe this is their issue

Hey, have you all heard that Ohtani threw some live BP today? Surprised they didn’t mention it on ESPN

I came to baseball late in life (mainly because I came to the US later in life) so this is one of my formative memories and it makes me smile every time I think about it. Amazing scenes

Wrigley field for Cubs and Cardinals. I know, not a bad occasion, huh? When I moved to the USA a year later, I knew I needed more baseball in my life and that is the short version of how I ended with this horrific OG Mr Met as my pfp
I am going to do a prompt post and I am extremely sorry about it but not entirely that I am not posting it
what was the first ballpark you ever saw a game at? MLB, minor leagues, whatever.
mine was lol the Oakland Coliseum in 2008: Red Sox vs. A's; Justin Duchscherer took a no-hitter into the 7th

Damn, that was a great win. That was a well pitched at the end of a series they already won that nobody would have been mad at them for losing by the odd run but they put heads down and pushed through. Great effort and attitude. Things you love to see
