The Sandy-in-a-bag-gag has run its course, please no more.

The answer to the question of “why do they have the contestants stack pies?” can be best answered by the question “why do they then make the contestants carry them?”

What I liked best about the booing is how quick it started and how loud it was—the announcer hadn’t even gotten to the J in “president donald j trump” before the boos started. Less than two seconds after his face appeared on the screen. And it didn’t let up until the booth cut back to the vets.

Of course, people from all over travel obscene distances to attend the World Series, but it was still a game being held in a city that gave Trump a whopping 4.1% of their vote. He was not going to be well received. Hence why the owners begging the MLB not to be put in the position of having to say no to Trump if he…

People keep making this point under the assumption that a World Series game was attended exclusively by people who live within 20 minutes of the stadium. I live on the VA/NC border and have friends who drove five hours to go to game 4. It’s not just DC natives.

Yeah, but you gotta figure that the folks who are attending a World Series game are reasonably affluent, especially in the suite sections where Trump was. And as they announced the death of the ISIS leader that morning (with Trump personally performing the five finger exploding heart technique on the guy), maybe he…

Rosie just powering through the technical was truly the highlight. I don’t know how she managed to finish after having restarted both the choux and the puff while everyone else did everything once. Too bad once again, winning the technical is meaningless.

The Gâteau St-Honoré is one of those ridiculous desserts that makes no sense. Why would anyone ever throw all of those very separate things together into a single dish? I agree it was useful in getting the bakers to utilize a lot of technique, but the dessert itself is bonkers.

Yeah, that was not this.  Try as the might.

But enough about our Big Wet President!

I didn’t see the play, but as a Ravens fan I can pretty much picture it. 

This is fine because the Nationals are well suited to a bullpen game. As long as "bullpen game" means the emergency starter goes 8 innings.

Since this is Max “what broken nose” Scherzer - “back spasms” must mean literal scarab beetles crawling around under his skin and chewing on his muscles and tendons, a la 1999's The Mummy. 

Ross: Stress for Less

Jeff Passan’s article on the Astros’ culture makes it pretty clear that Taubman got fired not because of his incident with the reporters, but because he committed the cardinal sin of misrepresenting what had gone on to management about it afterwards.

Aren’t self destructive engines what makes a Subaru a Subaru?

Am I the only one to have known a bunch of absolutely horrible people that were “committed husbands and fathers”? I mean, we all know that’s not much of an out these days.

Great job Zuckerberg! Life saving medicine is banned & political hate & lies are OK.

Pick this if: You want to zone out and not think too much about what you’re doing. This one is popular for a reason: it feels easy even when you’re working fairly hard.
