When Is It OK To Wear The Wally Head?

Dear Mascot Manners, I have a lot of time on my hands now, so I figured I'd write you with an etiquette question. My team, the Boston Red Sox, just got beaten by our archrival New York Yankees. They beat us in two games, 9-0 and 9-2. But before we lost Game 2 Wednesday night, one of our guys, Nick, hit a home run. It got us within six runs. I think most of us would have rather just gotten out of there as quickly as possible. But we have a tradition: When you hit a home run, you wear the ...

How would you deploy the Phillies pitching in Game 3?

Padres 4, Cubs 1: Farewell to 2026, and on to an uncertain 2027

When the Chicago Cubs began the 2026 season 27-12, a stretch that included two 10-game winning streaks, many of us thought, “Hey — maybe this year can be something special.” Well. You know what happened after that. A 10-game losing streak. Injuries. Guys not producing. The bullpen imploding multiple times. After 27-12, they were just […]

Can the Braves actually let it fly?

No real body text. Braves hit a homer on Tuesday. They didn’t give up any. They won. They gave up three homers on Wednesday, and didn’t hit any. They lost. Why make your slogan “let it fly” if you’re going to get massively outhomered this way? Nothing else needs to be said. If they hit […]
