Bob Costas: And as Harper homers a second time and makes his journey around the bases we’re reminded of the Earth’s ceaseless journey around the Sun, the steady march of time and the inevitable heat death of the universe

Ron Darling: there are two fans on the roof

The issue with the Yanks loss tonight is existential. Taking a guy out in this setting robs him
of something more than a win. Yes they’re professionals but they’re also human. They want to compete and see the result. Hard to imagine how this doesn’t impact his motivation a bit.

*gasps* who could have seen this coming

Major fumble from Senate Dems. I'm not sure why they are trying to make this more complicated than it needs to be. Feinstein can't do the job anymore.

[Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur]

NEW: Republicans reject Feinstein committee swap, putting Democrats in a bind

Cornyn is a NO.
Tillis is a NO.

Blackburn, Cotton, Fischer, Capito and Ernst are also a NO.

Ernst: “We're not going to help the Democrats with that.”

No apparent path to 60. https://t.co/o9VzpA6QTG

[Conor Kelly @CPKellyOB]

Dems have a 11-10 majority on Judiciary and a 51-49 Senate majority...

Feinstein being out makes it 10-10 on Judiciary. So GOP blocks noms. Who's fault is that exactly? Seems to me if you had a person capable of doing the job of a Senator, this wouldn't be an issue.

[Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur]

Schumer on the judicial noms backlog Feinstein’s absence is creating: “I am concerned.”

He blames Republicans for opposing a number of Biden’s nominees en masse and requiring all Dems in committee.

[Conor Kelly @CPKellyOB]

Reminded of an interaction I had in Penn Station in 2015 that will never leave me:

Heading up escalator toward NJ Transit platform at rush hour. Person blocking the way. I say excuse me. They move.

As I walk forward I hear behind me “what’s the rush?”

It’s… Penn station.

[Overheard District @OverheardWDC]

At Gallery Place Metro escalators:

Person 1: “Please stand right to let people walk left.”

Person 2: “Omg do you like work here.”

Person 1: “No I’m just not an asshole and know how to live in a city.”

Person 2: “Um I live here too.”

Person 1: “The learn the rules.”

More on Peru: Castillo's coup attempt appears to have failed. Congress has voted by 101 to 6 to impeach him. He is reported to have been arrested

Great time of the year to still be unsure of the lineup. Real great. Superb. 10/10 no notes.

Aaron Boone said that he’s still working through his Game 3 lineup and hasn’t decided if Oswald Peraza will start at SS. #repbx

[Bryan Hoch ⚾️ @BryanHoch]

Aaron Hicks is likely unavailable tonight. Aaron Boone said Hicks is "under the weather." He left the clubhouse in street clothes.

[Conor Kelly @CPKellyOB]

The way American media is covering the(ir) Queen's death is everything that's wrong with American media and culture. MSNBC sending multiple reporters to London? Andrea Mitchell crying on air?

Puerto Rico has no running water.

A reminder that the University of Texas is a public institution for *checks notes* education.

Easy to see why it's hard to find good teachers these days when this is where the money is.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthletic:

The University of Texas spent nearly $280,000 on the official visit for Arch Manning, the nation’s No. 1 overall recruit, and eight others. The spending spree over 48 hours included a luxury hotel, custom cakes and an ice sculpture. https://t.co/vMMzzjuEsc

She’s a monarch for the UK. But a matriarch for democracy..There will be a big celebration (of her life) next week in Washington, DC

"I think her instincts were always towards inclusion, and in the widest possible sense, she didn't like the thought of a society where people were forgotten or were ignored."

Former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams reflects on his interactions with Queen Elizabeth II.

[Conor Kelly @CPKellyOB]

This is such a crock of shit. Yes don’t swim away/splash. But the idea that putting a hand on its head is some kind of safety technique? It’s a gamble. If a shark decides he wants a piece of you - he’s going to get it. And there’s not much you can do about it.

[NowThis Impact @nowthisimpact]

A safety diver in Hawaii posted a TikTok showing viewers how to react if they’re ever approached by sharks in the water — and it might just be the opposite of what you’d normally think 🦈
