Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

I am quite certain we can solve the world’s energy problems by finding a way to channel the intensity of Max Scherzer starting Game 7 of the World Series.

World Series Game 6 coverage opens with Rush’s “Subdivisions.” I want to run through a wall. Geddy Lee and Jays fans approve.

Dodgers are learning that it's not enough to have a couple guys playing well. Shohei may be able to do everything, but he can't do everything. And Blue Jays are getting contributions from everyone, including guys making $700k.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but last night's 18-inning game sorta underscores why the ghost runner is fine for the regular season. A game like that is great in October. But on a random Tuesday night in May? Eh. But I do think introducing the runner in the 11th or 12th might make more sense.

To Maryland football: you know how to *take* the lead, you just don't know how to *hold* the lead. And that's really the most important part of the leading: the holding. Anybody can just take them.

I think all postseason teams must be forced to play one game with their worst regular season lineup. Like, I need to see the Dodgers start Matt Sauer and have Michael Conforto in left.

People forget that Mariano Rivera, the best relief pitcher of all time and the only unanimous Hall of Famer, committed an error in the bottom of the 9th of Game 7 of the World Series. Stuff happens.

Even if Stott's bunt in the 9th was successful, it would have decreased the Phillies run expectancy for the inning.

That decision to bunt will go down as one of the dumbest things in Philadelphia sports history.

Shohei Ohtani is great, but if I am the Phillies I am salivating at possibility of getting four whole innings against that bullpen.

Interesting stat about the Guardians: Their hitters had the platoon advantage 78.6% of the time. That is tops in MLB by far. They have consistently been among the league leaders in this for years, but never had a percentage this high. (In fact, I am fairly certain it's the highest ever.)

Baseball certainly has changed. In 1978, Larry Bowa finished third in the MVP vote. He hit three homers all year. Edmundo Sosa hit three just last night.

This article gives the Orioles a grade of D-minus for the season, which seems pretty harsh. Yes, they started 16-34. But they played at nearly a 90-win pace after that.

I sometimes come across MLB players with super careers, and learn they got no HOF consideration. My latest: Steve Rogers. Not one vote for this guy? As good as anyone for a decade. Outdueled Steve Carlton twice in the 1981 NLDS. www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/ro... @jayjaffe.bsky.social

Interesting random stat I came across: Trevor Hoffman never committed a balk. 1,035 appearances. Zero balks. That's a record.

Weird thing. Anybody know why @milwaukeebrewers.bsky.social play the @phillies.bsky.social on Sept. 1, 3, and 4 but with an off day on Sept. 2? I've never seen an off day in the middle of a series before.
