I was going to swipe away this notification until I long-pressed it. What a twist!

Notification for an article about “A sudden tragedy led this retiree to a new home - with room for his dog, his mountain bike and his 45,0...”

Expanded notification showing complete blurb: “A sudden tragedy led this retiree to a new home — with room for his dog, his mountain bike and his 45,000 baseball cards.”

I didn’t have Baby Blues coming for MLB with spot-on satire in the Sunday funnies on my bingo card.

Baby Blues Sunday Comic, June 13, 2026. Hammie repeatedly tossing up a ball, trying to hit it, and whiffing. Dad says he needs to work on his hitting. He responds, “Yeah, but how about my great pitching.”

Harsh, Google. Ben looks at least 14 years old in this photo.

Best thing you can say about him is that he knows this.

Wilson was asked pregame Tuesday what the "chess match" against Hinch has been like so far this series.
"A tremendous amount of respect, and I think managing against him, you always know he's right there with you and trying to move," Wilson said. "I don't know how to play chess, so I don't know how to use that as a metaphor, but he's right there on every move, and that's what makes this so fun, too."

And Divish included this in his gamer: www.seattletimes.com/sports/marin...

Ryan Divish writing about the Mariners beating the Astros on April 13, 2026:

With the shift in the MLB schedule before the 2023 season, expanding interleague play and reducing the number of division games, the instances of a four-game series were greatly reduced.

Beating the same team in four consecutive games is much more difficult and rare than winning all three games in a normal series. Winning all the games in a four game series has been dubbed a "mop" by baseball social media mavens "Cespedes Family BBQ" since it is more defining than a sweep. You know the idiom, "mopping the floor" with them? There were no Mariners fans carrying mops in the crowd of 18,648. But it was a fitting metaphor for the series between two teams going in very opposite directions.

Even as a Mariners fan, it was delightful and endearing how astonished and giddy Jo Adell was after his third HR robbery Saturday night. They didn’t include it in the clips, which is a shame.

Jo Adell with his arms in the universal “I don’t know how I did it either” position.

Jo Adell giving a kind of exaggerated shrug with such a huge grin it’s distorting his whole face.

List view, Card View Collapsed, Card View Expanded. And just for good measure, @mlb.com’s claim to have heard our feedback.

Love this man.

You know an extension is early a guy’s career when this photo is the best the Seattle Times photo desk could come up with.

Screen cap of the Seattle Times article reporting the Mariners’ extension with Colt Emerson, featuring an odd photo of Emerson in the dugout with a bemused expression on this face, a sliding mitt on his hand, and someone else’s disembodied arm and hand touching his helmet.

I love regular season baseball. Last night was my first in-person game of the year, I had a great time, and I thought it was the #Mariners best game so far. That they ultimately lost didn’t ruin it at all for me. #goms

This good girl let us go to the #Mariners game, so now that we’re home, she’s releasing her suppressed anxiety by woodchippering a fart stick, er, collagen chew. #baileyluna

An awkwardly long black and white mutt, whose black face absorbs all wavelengths of the visible spectrum, holding the remains of a 12-inch collagen chew between her front paws to maximize her leverage while pulverizing it.

Cal gonna get his first hit on his bobblehead night, I can feel it. (And yes, the bobble’s butt and bat are the only recognizable features. They knew their brief.)

Bailey doesn’t seem too bothered by it. #goms #baileyluna

and Bailey says hi #baileyluna

A black and white mutt lies suggestively on her back, waving one of her awkwardly long front legs hello.

Amos Blackman@amosblackman· Mar 27

I think it will? It’s already running preroll (see below), and I’m guessing pregame will be ~6:30.

Most video apps can pop out the video as a mini window floating over your phone so you can, say, scroll Bluesky while watching (see example below), but @netflix.com goes out of its way to disable that option for its lower tier.
