Charlemagne

This is Mariner 10. It was the first probe to explore the planet Mercury - which it did WAY back in 1974.

Now you may ask, "Now Charlemagne, what in God's name does THIS have to do with sports?" The answer? Not a Goddamn thing. It's just that this little tidbit of information is still infinitely more useful and worth sharing than whatever the fuck Blackfoot tries doing in this forum.

What does Nationals' NLCS sweep mean for the World Series?
All season, we talked about the three super-mega-amazing teams that dominated the regular season. The Astros won 107 games. The Dodgers won 106 games. The Yankees won 103. The Washington Nationals? They didn't even win their division. They stumbled out of the gate to a 19-31 record. After going 82-80 in 2018.

The Nationals pulled to within two wins of a title in one wacky inning
Houston did something Wednesday night that for any other team would have registered as benign. Juan Soto, the 20-year-old wunderkind who hits cleanup for Washington, was due up. With first base open and runners on second and third, the Astros intentionally walked him. For 173 games between the regular season and the playoffs, Houston had not issued a single intentional walk. But this was the top of the seventh inning in Game 2 of the World Series, when nothing made sense.

Trump critic Jose Andres slated to throw first pitch prior to president's arrival
A day after President Donald Trump said he plans to attend Game 5 of the World Series, the Washington Nationals announced that the ceremonial first pitch for that game would be thrown out by chef Jose Andres, a vocal critic of Trump's.


Major League Baseball said the decision on first pitches is made jointly between the host team and MLB.

Houston Astros vs. Washington Nationals

Astros' pen delivers, Nats waste chances -- and now we have a series
The first World Series in the nation's capital in 86 years won't exactly go down as a classic contest to remember. The Astros will enjoy their 4-1 victory Friday, which included baserunners all over the place, some magical 68 mph curveballs from Zack Greinke and a Houston bullpen that tossed 4⅓ scoreless innings, and means we won't see the first World Series sweep since 2012.

How the Astros just gave this World Series a shot at greatnes
The 115th World Series became a series Friday night. The Houston Astros, AWOL for the first two games, served notice they were no happy-to-be-here pushovers. Win Game 4 and there is a path to mirror the 1999 New York Yankees, who lost the first two games of the World Series in the Bronx before pummeling the Atlanta Braves in four straight.
