METS WIN! THEEEEE METS WIN! As they ride a huge 6th inning and a strong pitching performance for a series opening 4-2 victory!

A moment of silence for John Sterling at Yankee Stadium. The empty radio booth is on the screen. Michael Kay and Suzyn Waldman placed flowers on home plate.

It’s going to be a perfect day for #OpeningDay baseball at Citi Field — a high of 70 and mostly sunny in Queens today. Play ball indeed. #LGM #LetsGoBucs

2. Sinners
3. Bugonia
4. Train Dreams
5. Marty Supreme
6. Hamnet
7. Frankenstein

I’ve now seen 6 of the Best Picture noms. Hamnet was strong but made me reconsider my ranking of Train Dreams, which made me feel more. New ranking (w/other changes):

1. One Battle After Another
2. Sinners
3. Train Dreams
4. Marty Supreme
5. Hamnet
6. Frankenstein

Aaron Judge is the American League MVP for the third time in four years.

[Jorge Castillo @jorgecastillo]

Aaron Judge had another historic season. And another October without a World Series title. The pressure is mounting on the Yankees to not waste Judge's prime.
