Maybe he’ll reach across the aisle. VP John Fetterman, anyone?

I actually thought my mom made up that name! Every time he came up to bat, she and my sister and I would jump up and sing “do the Teufel shuffle.” You can get a good view of it at the end of this clip!

Easily one of my all time favorite players. He seemed like a really good guy despite getting into a few fights. I was at the game when he got hit by Dibble. It was my very first “base brawl” and boy did I love it!

And here I am considering uniform colors. 🤷‍♀️ Thanks for sharing, that’s really interesting!

I’d add Villanova to that list. Their colors are blue and white so it’s allowed.

My iPhone changed Badalau to badass so that’s what I’m calling him now.

Maybe the airline lobby will tolerate that better than they did a November shutdown. They’re clearly the ones who matter to the dems.

So glad you cover these games on Bluesky! 🙏🏻

Yes. Add onto that questions about umpire/referee calls. Some people often already - I think jokingly - say they’re shady when they get calls wrong. I hate that but now I’ll have to wonder if maybe those people are right.

My first thought too!

It’s so confusing!
November 8, 2025 at 9:13 PM
I wonder, has he considered the possibility that he’s the jinx?

I wish I was at the point where I could laugh, I’m still head-in-hands disappointed.

They should widen and lengthen basketball courts and then move the three point line way back too. Threes have gotten too easy.

This is the Pikiell of old. I missed him last year.

One thing I did like about Piazza: He said it was dumb that a grown man would go by the nickname ”Chipper” so he referred to Chipper Jones by his first name, Larry. As a result, Mets fans serenaded Jones with calls of “Larry, Larry,” which was fun but Jones still kicked their butts at Shea.

I never liked him. I don’t know why - MAGA vibes, maybe, before that was even a thing. Excellent player but I don’t miss him.
November 4, 2025 at 6:54 PM
Yes, he should have!
November 4, 2025 at 6:52 PM
Noooo! I so want to root against Steven Pearl and now that's been taken away from me.

Forget Dan, what’s your guess for the number of techs on Bobby Hurley?

I get the NYT news through my library but pay for the crosswords. Every year I cancel, then a few weeks later they offer me a better deal and I come crawling back.

Bright side, the awful 2025 season is finally over.

Unbelievable. The Jays were sooo close.
