Forget the lottery. This is how we should determine the top ten draft slots.
the two worst teams in MLB should play a game the day after the season ends just for the people who want more baseball. the people yearn for 2 pm Rockies - Angels

SCHN broadcast basically confirming this lol
The idea of having a clinching celebration in Sacramento is just very funny. I can't imagine that's a particularly nice away clubhouse

can't believe we're getting a World Series rematch this October
The Astros have won the American League West for the eighth time in 10 seasons. They'll host the Chicago White Sox in a Wild Card series starting Tuesday at Daikin Park.

Y'know, I hadn't really kept up with Dean Kremer after the Orioles traded him. Glad to see he's turned it around in Minnesota (especially today!), but also a little frustrating to see, feels like that happens to ex-O's pitchers a lot...

Yainer Diaz asking the good questions, like "why do a bunch of ground outs for a run when we can just hit doubles in the corner?"

every Athletics ground ball is making me catch my breath after that first inning.
Twins, please score a few more here so I can breathe a little more easily...

My goodness, what an incredible moment. After Justin Verlander secured the final out of his career, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch came out of the dugout...to summon Verlander's daughter out to embrace her dad on the mound.

"Appears to think that Major Sports League Commissioners are cabinet members and *will* base my vote off of it, but doesn't want to say that in case I'm wrong, and also not totally clear on what their roles actually entail"
Hey. If the nyt invited you to be part of a focus group what would you do as a bit?

Okay, the Yainer homer was nice, but maybe the Astros can try for one with runners on base this time

trying to finish my playlist article so I can publish it ASAP. Writing my blurbs in a more modular style has generally been a plus, but it does lead to some issues where I'll reference something in consecutive paragraphs, then realize I don't actually want them side by side in the playlist itself

It really is wild how basically every AL team except the Yankees and Rays saw their plans for 2026 go belly-up, in a way that basically all cancelled each other out.
The 2026 Houston Astros are now tied in the loss column, with the tiebreaker, for the AL’s No. 2 seed and a bye into the ALDS.
What a time to be alive.

Okay so, before I said this, I did not know that my fridge would spend most of today causing me problems. Might be pushed to Tuesday now...
Goal is to get this done over the weekend for next Monday...
It probably won’t be ready for Monday, but I’m hoping to get my next playlist article out next week!
