    Well, the Mets had to lose at least one of their insane comebacks to prove the baseball gods aren't taking sides.

    The Reds allowed zero hits to the Pirates today but still found a way to lose the game despite that.

    Well, despite the unfortunate end, Greene pitched well. That's encouraging.

    He'd also thrown over 100 pitches entering the 8th, and maybe should not have gone out there. Finished with 118 pitches, and was allowed to walk not just one but two batters in the 8th before he was pulled. Looks like his velocity was a bit down, as well. I didn't watch, but these facts stand out in hindsight.

    These are the sort of outcomes that happen during a wretched season, though.

    I'm sorry, but why is Derek Jeter doing Subway commercials?

    In honor of Tommy's lifelong friendship with the Phanatic, the Phillies did the classic and classy "Gentleman's Sweep".

    If Tom Brady can do them despite not eating bread, then so can Jeter. Steph Curry, Charles Barkley, and Serena Williams does them, too. I'm guessing they pay well.

    But do any of those really need the money?

    No.

    That's not how rich athletes tend to think, however.

    That is all.

    Amazing.

    Certainly makes going into work tonight/tomorrow (1:30am start time), when I'm normally off, a little easier to deal with. :p

    I wonder how many people who left regretted it as soon as they got the text that Pujols was pitching?

    The same reason Tom Bread does Hertz commercials. Let’s go!

    I remember another athlete who did Hertz commercials during the 80s; but nowadays he's too busy finding the real murderers of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman.

    So I see the Reds pitched a no hitter and still lost. Really does look like the season of destiny in the worst possible way.

    @mnjedi Particularly since the MLB moves to a draft lottery next year so even tanking for the worst record no longer guarantees the top spot in the draft. So they might be tanking in the hopes of getting Dylan Drews to start their rebuild but doesn't automatically mean it will happen.

    Not only is tomorrow’s D’Backs/Dodgers doubleheader the first schedule one at Dodger Stadium since ‘87, it’s the first ever day-night one in the history of the ballpark.

    Now that's mind-blowing. It's hard to believe that the Dodgers have never had a day-night doubleheader. Given the opportunity, the Yankees would always prefer them to single-admission so they won't lose out on the tickets revenue.

    eovaldi allowed five home runs in the 2nd inning last night, third pitcher ever to achieve such a thing. all hail.

    i don't know if the yanks keep this torrid pace up, but it is quite lovely to see the red sox and orioles with the same number of wins.

    A friend of mine just came back from a long weekend spent in Boston. She's a Mets fan, and I told her it would've been cool if she wore an '86 Mets Championship hat there.
