Slowing it down

October 13, 2026

Monday night Brewers’ first baseman Jake Bauers spent seven minutes, 15 seconds in the batter’s box against Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto. It was a 12 pitch AB that resulted in a walk.

Impressive

Though Brandon Belt’s longest at-bat lasted 12 minutes & 45 seconds. 21 pitches. (Although to be fair Belt finally lined out.)

So now even Trump admits the Russian oil won’t make much of a difference to US prices.

He sold us and Ukraine out for nothing

–

As Trump spouts increasingly insane things and does increasingly insane things, forget whether or not he’s on the ballot in November.

Imagine he were your elderly parent. You’d be calling around BEGGING assisted living homes to give him the first available opening.

Kimberly Guilfoyle had dyed her hair blonde and had her plastic surgery make her took more like Ivanka than a twisted bee-stung Elvira would she still have a job?

To save everyone time with fact-checking new Press Secretary Katie Zacharia.

“Yes, you can pass the bar in China, but only if you are a Chinese citizen (including permanent residents of Hong Kong, Macao, and residents of Taiwan). Foreign residents cannot take the exam.”

Per Fox News ” White House press secretary Katie Zacharia says her family will be moving to D.C. -she’d stayed home with children from 2014 to 2020 & is “looking to balance her White House role w/ her family life.”
How long until Katie leaves to “spend more time with her family?”

Bad to worse

Fox announcers talking about Los Angeles being down 2-0 to Milwaukee

“This is not going to bother the Dodgers, after all they’ve been through.”

“All they’ve been through?” Like picking up $40 million in pitching at trade deadline? (including last year’s Cy Young winner because the Tigers couldn’t afford to keep him.)

Get out the tiny gold plated violins.

If only the SF Giants had an offensive weapon like Patrick Bailey…

A video of Ken Paxton partying with one of his mistresses at a 2025 New Year’s Eve party in Dubai, along with two rich men wanted in the US for healthcare fraud, was released today by the WSJ.

How bad do you have to be as a conservative Republican to be outed by the Wall Street Journal?

ESPN reports Infantino received $1.72 million from “FWC2026, the official U.S.- based entity set up by FIFA to manage & operate 2026 World Cup.”
On top of his regular $4.86 million compensation..
Was that $1.72 million enough to cover costs of giving Trump the FIFA Peace Price?

Last weekend, Trump defied judge’s order & had crews illegally cut down over 400 trees on East Potomac golf course. Judge is justifiably furious.
But on Fox News website headline is
“Judge ‘screams’ at Trump lawyers in latest courtroom uproar against administration.”

So three weeks before an election DHS raids Ilhan Omar’s home over immigration paperwork from 1995?

If we’re going back that far, how about investigating immigration paperwork for Elon Musk (who also arrived here in 1995) and Melania Trump (1996)?

Trump couldn’t fill up a small venue today in Youngstown Ohio. And that’s a place where paying for players is relatively cheap.

Heck, when SF 49ers owner Jed York was arrested in nearby East Palestine, he had planned to pay a prostitute just $160
