Not too often an "it's over" happens in a series after one 5th inning of game 3, but I'm thinking it's over.

And it is 10 o'clock in the morning on October 24th, if you want to know.

What a bummer.

"James, we need you to work with DevOps and Security today." Saw that one coming. In case you're curious, one of the issues is hilarious.

eMudhra - When you visit your bank's website and see the padlock indicating a secure HTTPS connection, your browser uses a digital certificate to verify the website's identity. Certain companies, called Certificate Authorities, are trusted to issue those certificates. eMudhra is one of them.

Researchers discovered that eight of eMudhra's intermediate certificate authorities had extraordinarily weak cryptographic keys. Some were effectively as simple as the numbers 4, 56, or 237.

Not a bad baseball stance. From the 14th-century Le Roman de la Rose.

I did something I’ve never done before today, I decided to forego real pants and visited the convenience store in my flannel jammie bottoms. “Whatever” I thought to myself

I think I’d rank the constitutional peasant in the Holy Grail on my Mt Rushmore of comedy. “Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.” will make me lol til the end.

Sure would have been a great night with the roof open at the dome tonight, alas.

I've got nothing against a pimped out home run trot but I feel like pitchers need to be allowed time to circle the mound, pound his chest, thumbs up the relievers, stare into his dugout etc for a good 30 seconds after they get a big K too.

Down 0-2 at home... Winning the next 2 on the road... Winning game 5 on a homer by the beloved franchise guy... That's some 2015 Jays energy 🫡

I can't fathom how mad I'd be if my team struck out 21 times in a winner take all postseason game.

The house sparrows are busy at the feeder but it’s the white throated sparrows tweeting and singing. A black squirrel forages for sunflower seeds.

Mostly I’ve been thinking about how often we had to fucken walk Judge.

Postseason baseball has awoken too many intrusive thoughts about Game 7. Fuck!

Randomly thinking about this queen carrying her groceries home on her head.

Prompt: What is the movie that came out before you were born that you’ve watched the most times? Answer: I haven’t really kept track super well, but it’s either going to be His Girl Friday (1940) or It Happened One Night (1934). Basically, I can never have enough screwballs.

For some reason, I have the Chrono Trigger Fanfare stuck in my head the past couple of days. Where did I hear it?!?

Only one full-season playoff team has ever finished under .500 counting October: the 2005 Padres, 82-83, .497. Houston sits at 81-82 right now, .497. Lose tonight and they end 81-83, .494, the worst combined record for any postseason team in a 162-game season.

Like this post and I'll reply with your 2026 MLB postseason bracket. There are 2,048 possible brackets. Each one is issued once, to one account, and never again. Exactly one of them will turn out perfect.

Looking like the Leafs decided to embrace the hate. Nylander: "It's about the fucken Leafs."

I made enrolling easier for those who haven’t yet got their bracket. There’s no deadline to get your bracket since it’s all random.

I built a silly little feature into @boxscore.online Just @ that account with the word predict in it and it will send you your own random unique MLB bracket. Only 2048 in total available!

This pic just showed up in my memories heh. Have you ever wondered what the Jays foul pole looks like up close? Two rigid steel lines separated by nylon netting.
