this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

“Just get me an arm up over the charivari…allez oop!”

“The charWhat?”

“The clown mob! You spend much time with circus folk?”

“What do you think?”

“I think I forgive you in advance for not recognizing our slang, like—Hey Rube!”

“Ah, the old rally cry for help! Got your back dickie-boy!”

[1242] this, at least, is up to me.

Gang, how miserable are we feeling about the W.S. and more importantly, do you have an opinion on who you want winning?

Personally, I say dodgers because Teo, KK, and I believe Cavan qualifies for a ring too

2024 MLB Season Charts (All Star Break)

Ever want a nice visualization of every team's current position in the standings? Ever wonder about how many notable streaks every team has so far this season? Ever think to yourself, "just how bad could the 2024 White Sox really be?"

Then these charts are for you!

In my spare time (man have I had so much spare time), I've been working on compiling every MLB team's wins and losses into individual charts, because sometimes just numbers isn't enough to really grasp how a season is going. And, as special treat inspired by the Twins' 12 game winning streak, I also highlighted every notable streak. A notable streak here is defined as a streak of 4 or more games, winning or losing. Streaks of 3 games or less will not be highlighted. Each team's longest streak will also be noted.

(Note that I'm only one guy, so there may be some mistakes. If the mistakes are large enough, I'll try to fix them.)

These charts will only be including the start of the regular season up to the All Star Break. I hope to keep them all updated as the season goes on and chart the entire season for every team, but we'll see how life goes.

For now, here are the current charts. Since there are 30 MLB teams, I've split the charts into several posts based on each division and went into detail about some trends I noticed with each team season so far.

AL Central

AL East

AL West

NL East

NL Central

NL West

And for those who want an MLB-wide summary, look no further than below the cut!

First, current best and worst teams:

This probably doesn't come as much of a surprise. The Phillies currently have the best record, being 28 games above .500. Meanwhile, the White Sox have the worst record and are 44 games below .500. Ouch.

Team with the most notable streaks:

The White Sox win this category with a whole 11 notable streaks, including the one they're on now. However, with only one of those a winning streak, they prove that the title of most streaks doesn't necessarily mean best record.

Runner-ups include the Yankees (9), Marlins (8), and the Rockies (8).

Team with the least notable streaks:

The Reds only have 3 notable streaks with just one being a losing streak. Though with that streak being an 8 game losing streak, it certainly can't be ignored.

Runner-ups: Guardians (4), Rays (4), Blue Jays (4), Cardinals (4), and Pirates (4).

Team with the most notable winning streaks:

The Yankees get this title, as 7 of their 9 notable streaks are winning ones. In fact, before the end of June, all they had were notable winning streaks. It's only in the past few weeks that they got their first notable losing streaks.

Runner-ups: Royals (5), Orioles (5), Red Sox (5), Mariners (5), Phillies (5), Braves (5), Brewers (5), Dodgers (5).

Team with most notable losing streaks:

The White Sox have a whopping 10 notable losing streaks. Of course, you've seen this chart already, so not much else to add here.

Runner-ups: Marlins (7) and Rockies (7).

Team with longest winning streak:

Now for the streak that helped inspire this whole thing. The Twins of course have the longest winning streak so far this season with 12 straight wins. Good times, good times.

Runner-ups: Guardians (9), Royals (8), and Yankees (8).

Team with longest losing streak:

Yup, you knew it, so here we are again. The White Sox had a whole 14 game losing streak this season, and it sticks out like a giant red sore thumb on their chart.

Runner-ups: Athletics (9), Marlins (9), and Reds (8).

Teams with no notable losing streaks:

We actually have three teams who currently do not have a notable losing streak. Extra points go to the Phillies and Brewers who have five notable winning streaks to the Guardians' four.

A team's chart I just had to point out:

The Mariners get an extra special shout out for having 7 notable streaks and all of them being just four games long, the minimum to be counted as a notable streak. Funny stuff.

And some last stats:

Every team has at least one notable winning streak, even the White Sox! Yay for all of us!

The average amount of notable streaks per team is 6.13 streaks.

The average amount of notable winning streaks per team is 3.2 streaks.

The average length of the longest streak per team is 6.9 games.

Join me at the end of the season when I (maybe) do the full 2024 season!

Do you like answering polls?

Do you like forming strong opinions on things that are pretty inconsequential?

If the answer to either of those is yes, even if you couldn’t care less about baseball, please take this survey!!

Background - Over the last few years, uniforms designed to connect baseball teams to their home cities have been released for (almost) every team. Some of those uniforms have been outstanding (Rays), and some of those uniforms have sucked (Dodgers). This survey wants you to rank them! It is easier to do this on desktop, especially if you aren’t familiar with the city connects and need to look up some pictures. Please help @ lizaboth on twitter in collecting this data, and spread the word!

ALAN: "Well. You know how both of us seem to be so relationship-averse, I was thinking, maybe you are right for a longer term… thing." LORRAINE: "Funny. Who told you?" ALAN: "Told me?" LORRAINE: "That I’m in a relationship. I was planning to tell you."
