There was only one night game a year, the whole sky would brighten up with fireworks, giving us just enough light for a game
We played our best then because, I guess, we all felt like the big leaguers under the lights of some great stadium ❤️
It blows my mind that the projected splashdown time for Artemis II was 5:07pm, and it was, in fact, 5:07pm.
Just a casual spot-on ETA from the fucking moon, no big deal.
Major League Baseball is aired in the morning for Japan. So technically they eat breakfast with it being on television.
Here’s their #openingday commercial. No hyperbole, when I say this, it might be greater than any US MLB commercial I’ve seen. Well done and worth the watch for any baseball fan.
ESPN ended its relationship with MLB yesterday saying $550 million yearly rights fees were too expensive. So in 2026 baseball is off the network for good. If $550 million is too much for MLB, how bad is ESPN’s $2.6 BILLION a year deal for the NBA? Worst deal in sports TV history.
“We will call it roughing the passer.”
“But isn’t football a rough sport sir?”

“So if they time it perfectly, they can hit in the midsection?”
“Depends. If they do it softly, maybe. Too hard… flag.”
No doubt, the passing of James Earl Jones will be marked with remembrances of his iconic performance as Darth Vader, but I have a special place in my heart for this one.
“The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball…”
@JasonKelce Is there a chance at an Ohtani in the NFL (Pro Bowl caliber at offense and defense) if so what position would they have the best shot at excluding K and P.
WR, DB?
The moments the absence is missed most are mostly happy moments where I wish she was part of the experience, but unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be.
So, for anyone else who's feeling sadness in moments of joy, it’s ok. 👌
It's been 11 years to the day that I lost my mom to cancer.
On that day 11 years ago, I was sad as I knew she would never meet my future wife, but I never considered my future kids.
The challenging future moments are unpredictable.
I know that loss has impacted me during different moments in life, years after she passed.
Mom and groom dances at friend’s weddings were a reminder that that moment will never exist.
