Baseball

“I wrote 63 songs this year. They’re all about Jeter.” Just kidding. The game we love, the players we hate, and more.

From Norman Mailer to Wendy Pepper — everything on film, TV, books, music, and snacks (shut up, raisins), plus the Girls’ Bike Club.

Donors Choose and Contests

Helping public schools, winning prizes, sending a crazy lady in a tomato costume out in public.

Stories, True and Otherwise

Monologues, travelogues, fiction, and fart humor. And hens. Don’t forget the hens.

As of right now, almost 7,000 students reached, and $47,500 and change.   $ and the Mysterians have done their work; we’re very close to the initial goal and almost halfway to Washingtomato.

Thank you so much, $.   We appreciate the boost, and so do the students and teachers.

Vine: ATR is imminent; in the meantime, enjoy my grumbling about end-of-the-world baseball-ratings predictions at NPR’s Monkey See blog.

    NPR! Outstanding!

    Great article! I agree completely. My hubby and I love the baseball, but sometimes Futurama reruns or Dirty Jobs marathons call to us from other channels and we cave. So, while the tv is usually on baseball this time of year, there’s some definite checking in and out going on.

    As your commenter said, the games are on too late. Goodnight, moon, goodnight, room, goodnight Manny Ramirez standing under the moon. I don’t know what the solution is. I did stay up until 1:30 to watch the last Cubs-Dodgers game. I’m not a Cubs fan, but it still really hurt that they lost. But I’m not losing that kind of sleep for the Phillies.
