Well, the last two are Smith versus Smith, and Go Arizona (unless there’s a deeper reference). I’m missing the references on too much of the rest. I would guess the first is either a rhyme containing Shaker Quaker, or maybe a play on the term, with ‘Salt Quaker’.

ya'll collectively have "Season's penultimate game"
Second line: Poppy was on the right track (and the Star Wars ref was correct) — what kind of molecule is that (where’s salb918 when we need him?), and what do all those guys have in common?
Third line: PonderosaPineTar got the pitching lineup

problem is, that guy’s doing freestyle rather than ultimate. I Kept trying to see how to fit ‘disc’, ‘freestyle’, or ‘MTA’ in there. Serves me right, not thinking of the game I actually play.

For a crappy season. Can’t decide if I want the Brewers as the WC or the Mets. It’s nice to contemplate the entire city in a state of mourning for the season, but I just don’t hate the Mets.

Try it with a tort.
Throw the tort on the stove for a few seconds and heat it up. It’s a lot better than bread.

4 to 2 Cubs. Brewers have the bases loaded with one out. Kendall has already grounded out so who knows, they may actually have a chance to score again.
