MLB 2026: The dying of the light

[Spartanforlife4]

Venezuela rallies to take down the defending champs in an 8-5 win over Japan.

And the espresso loving Azzurri keep the bats going in an 8-6 win over Puerto Rico. They are now two wins from cementing Italy as the country of baseball supremacy.

That game was electric. I’m on the Venezuela bandwagon.

US won a nail biter over DR 2-1 last night. DR wishes there was ABS for a couple of the late inning strikeouts.

Italy vs Venezuela on now for a trip to the championship.

Fittingly, it will be USA vs Venezuela.

This feels like the last headline we see prior to "season-ending injury."

So, decapitation strike on their manager?

Another sign of the decline of Western Civilization.

Another sign of the decline of Western Civilization.

If Western civilization is tied to the Mets, then Western civilization was doomed awhile ago.

Random Tuesday in October: packed stadium, loud crowds, hyped players, great baseball.

Random Tuesday in March: packed stadium, loud crowds, hyped players, great baseball.

Random Tuesday in May: empty stadium, silent crowds, bored players, shitty baseball.

What a beautiful sport.

"Welcome to Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium."

Which level of hell are we in?

It’s preseason. Who gives a crap?

I wonder if Trump and Maduro had a friendly wager on the game

Major League Baseball now has a gambling sponsor. Oh, sorry. "Official prediction market exchange."

Reinstate the Black Sox.

Damn, opening day is tomorrow?! For the Giants anyway. They've got the Spankees for 3 at home.

A slow start to the season for the league this year. One game on "Opening Day" being broadcast on Netflix. Then "Opening Day" again for just 22 teams on Thursday with only a double header being broadcast by NBC. (Gone are the days of four games back-to-back by ESPN.)

Friday sees just eight games, three starting their series.

Saturday has all 30 teams playing, with three series wrapping up, and Sunday has just twelve games.

Monday has all 30 teams playing. Followed Tuesday with all but one series going. Full slate Wednesday the 1st. Just four games on April 2nd, 28 teams in action the 3rd. And a full slate Saturday the 4th.

I get they usually build in a day or two early in the year for weather delays, but who cooked up this NHL schedule bullshit?

I am just happy the opener is in the US.

There. Do I get a Fox show now?
