I would have been way more excited to spend the next week and a half cheering for the Mets or Padres, but this cuts to the core of why I won't be cheering for the Yankees no way no how

This seems like a good night to note that there is no ghost runner in extras in the postseason, which is a tacit admission by MLB that the rule cheapens the game

What a welcome surprise! High-speed rail is easily the pinnacle of ground transportation we've achieved as a species. This would right a terrible wrong done to passenger rail by short-sighted governments in the 1980s and 90s (and would ACTUALLY do something about traffic woes)

If you only tune in for baseball during the World Series and such, you might not know that one of the more entertaining things you can do is search "fire Boone" on this website any time the Yankees are struggling

I agree any talk of high-speed rail deserves a big dollop of skepticism, but this old news was a vague proposal for track upgrades. The current news is about a long-term contract to build. The only question is whether it’s “high-frequency rail” or true HSR

I mostly avoid this outlet and this scale of trolling, but this is simply breathtaking. Like watching one of those reels of guys deep-frying turkeys in their backyard, each paragraph another pot splashing more hot oil onto the open flame

I selfishly want 7 games because I’m always in favour of more World Series drama but as a lifelong fan of an AL East team, that was the biggest schadenfreude meal I’ve ever eaten in one sitting

More than 80 replies to this so far, almost all from people (or bots) who believe that the existence of the carbon cycle disproves the greenhouse effect. If Elon used this approach to scientific knowledge for his rockets, they would never leave the ground

The pitch clock works so well that @mlb can surely come to it’s senses and vanquish the ghost runner into the dustbin of history
