So the other day the ⁦@nmrhof⁩ gave ⁦@JayHovdey⁩ and I the honor of informing Fernando Toro that he had been voted into the Hall of Fame. Jay H. told Toro he needed some photos autographed. On the photos it said Toro was in the class of 2023. Sorry, it’s dusty in here

More evidence that they are not trying to meditate an end to the war in Ukraine, but instead just trying to make money.
Another stunning report, from @antontroian, on another concession Trump wants to make toward Russia. What we have zero news of is what Russia plans to concede in exchange for this—other than money for Trump family allies. nytimes.com/2026/10/27/us/po…

Time for the annual @BreedersCup charity head to head bets, with the loser donating $50 to any of @NYRTCA @bcca @BackstretchTEAM @Oldfriendsfarm or @trfinc. I'll make up to 10 bets. Propose a heads up matchup and I 'll let you know if we have a bet.

Oh, and this two-out explosion also wouldn’t have been possible without replay. Now just need to get either full-time ABS (won’t happen) or more challenges.

Oh, is it THAT time again? War on Christmas time? How rich, that it just happens to coincide with "there's a caravan coming" time of the year, too! Ahh, you can just SMELL the fearmongering.

Trump's whole presidency is a disinformation campaign.
Trump: If Abdul and the Democrats win, they will create a nightmare of terror until you cannot even have a Christmas—remember when I started the war on preserving Christmas? We’re saying Christmas again. Remember when the stores were afraid to put up Christmas trees. Now, they are all saying Merry Christmas again.

📺On October 25, 1975, ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show’ aired ‘Chuckles Bites the Dust,’ one of television’s most iconic sitcom episodes. When Chuckles the Clown dies in a bizarre parade accident, Mary Richards is appalled by her coworkers’ jokes, until she attends his funeral and finds herself unable to stop laughing. The episode won an Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series and was ranked #1 on TV Guide’s 1997 list of the 100 Greatest TV Episodes of All Time

It’s a terribly sad day. Mike sums up how so many of us felt about Ross, an all-time great person and professional. RIP.
If there was a Mount Rushmore of ball writers, Ross Newhan would be on it. He was a giant in the biz, a Hall-of-Famer who spent much of his 43-year career covering @MLB for the LA Times. He was a mentor to myself and so many others, a friend to all. Ross died today at 89. RIP💔

Amplify Horse Racing is one of the best things happening in our sport. Great curriculum, real classrooms, 10,000+ kids reached in 2026 alone. This can work well beyond Kentucky, nationally and globally. With better funding, I think they can lift our whole industry for good.@AmplifyRacing Visit amplifyhorserscing.org to learn more.
