Bud Selig's always led the league in cognitive dissonance. Can he nod along during what he believes is a righteous lockout while his Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions?

Vindman losing would be a net positive for the Dems. And that Pelosi would not have Ilhan Omar's back speaks several volumes about Dem party leadership in the past (as long as some of you have been alive).

“I guarantee you one thing, man: Nobody in this clubhouse wants to play the baseball we’ve played the last couple days.” The #Rays are having a World Series nightmare - playing just well enough to lose, on the brink of getting buried. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

usatoday.comRays are their own worst enemy. Brewers running them out of this World SeriesThe Tampa Bay Rays saw their 4-0 lead disappear thanks in party to plenty of their own mistakes. Now they head home down 2-0 in the World Series.

Lincoln Riley had two weeks to game plan for Wisconsin. USC looks like they have been watching highlights of their Penn State win instead.

An 11-pitch at-bat followed by a seven-pitch at-bat has Drew "Ras" Rasmussen at 55 pitches through 11 batters. The #Rays might need to burn likely Game 4 starter Griffin Jax in relief tonight.

Chandler Simpson strikes out 7.8% of the time. The Rays sent a slow runner on a full-count pitch with one out. That's just a grim turn of events, and a nasty slider by Ab Uribe.

a strikeout and a caught-stealing is just an absolute disaster in that rays universe.

Jacob Misiorowski is done. Abner Uribe coming in to face Yandy Díaz in the top of the sixth. Da Miz: 5 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 SO, 78 pitches. Seemed to dial it down a bit and had better results, got a skosh deeper in game. Now it's on that #Brewers bullpen.

The Miz really emptied the tank for Yandy Díaz - 102.9, 101.7, 102 - and then Vic Mesa Jr. did him a favor and got caught stealing with two strikes. Wonder if The Miz will get Díaz to lead off the next inning, still.

As they break into Blister In The Sun: "That's right! We're the band that does THIS song!"

The Violent Femmes just performed their feel-good hit Add It Up before a pregame #WorldSeries crowd in Milwaukee. Yes, we pondered the question of why he simply could not get just one screw.

Pat Murphy is a big Springsteen guy but he evoked Drake in lauding a young reporter for asking the leadoff question in his presser: “Started from the bottom, now you’re here.” #multitudes
