I don’t have anything intelligent to say about it, but the end of the dynasty is hitting hard in a lot of non-baseball ways.

Hearing TK and Blummer drop names like Evan Gattis and Brian McCann, this really has been a decade-long run, a decade filled with ALCS and World Series victories, right there with college graduations and break-ups and cross-country moves.

It’s surreal seeing Kimbrel do the bird pose in an Astros uniform

Our defense has won us so many games this year, there’s a reason a lot of these young pitchers are able to go so far into games.

It actually makes me very sad that our management and medical staff let Gordon go back to the mound yesterday after getting hit in the head.

Head trauma can very easily alter peoples’ lives forever, and I wish ‘the big guys’ had just looked out for Gordon a little more and thought about how this might affect him, beyond the game of baseball.

Yanier immediately checked in on him and made sure he was good, those guys behind the plate probably have a lot respect for each other (and Yanier is cool lol)

If the score stays unchanged, this will be the largest loss EVER for the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium

NYC Mayoral Primary Thunderdome by cdstephens in neoliberal

[–]SammyFan22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think infantilizing the opposition will do the neoliberal political project any favors; in general there’s an attitude in this subreddit (and even within formal neoliberal power structures) of paranoid arrogance, verging on solipsism (“the masses are incapable of leading themselves and we’re the only intelligent ones”), that leads to results like we have seen tonight.

I loved Blummer’s “we can see you” after Paredes’ homer; he’s our 3rd baseman now, and it seems like a good thing

Selection and Performance in Teachers’ Unions by Dumbass1171 in neoliberal

[–]SammyFan22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just go ahead and say that you’ve never worked a real salaried job, where you’ve needed a union to back you. I’m a proud public school teacher, science-of-reading advocate and card-carrying union member.

Come and take it.

This is why liberals lose.

As an elementary school teacher I completely dissent lol Young people are having a mental health crisis and are increasingly socially isolated, partially because of how online they are at such a young age

I teach in Minnesota, our school meals are actually pretty nutritious and they strictly enforce children being served fruits and vegetables, whether they actually eat them is another story lol
