Over the hump and safely on the other side! We’ve got football tonight. We’ve got more playoff baseball. We’ve got a Yankees-less October to look forward to now!
What a time to be alive. If we could only get the Dodgers outta here, it would be perfect.
Give me White Sox-Brewers for all the marbles, just like God intended!
On that note, welcome to a Thursday Nightcaps â the one where Lindsey Vonn works up a sweat as she gears up for a big birthday bash.
Happy early 42nd birthday, Lindsey!
What else? I’ve got Jazz Chisholm confused as to why he was booed last night, Ronald Acuna NOT confused as to why he was booed, and Tony Romo’s baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad stretch continued last weekend at a Korn Ferry qualifier.
Poor Tony got the two most feared letters in the alphabet scribbled on his scorecard after the final round. You’ll see.
OK, grab you a big ‘ol drink, pour it out for the Yankees, and then settle in for a Thursday ‘Cap!
Let’s go ahead and get on with the big story of the day on this second Thursday of October …
Was that Anthony Volpe home run … a home run?
I say no, it was not. The first replay is deceiving, but the second one from the side makes it pretty clear. I think the umps got it 100% right.
“But statcast said it would’ve been a home run, Zach!”
Yeah, well my eyes said it wouldn’t have been a home run, and I’m still taking actual humans over the robots in 2026. Maybe not in 2027, but certainly in 2026.
And by the way, for those too young to remember … last night was a makeup call from the Baseball Gods 30 years (!!!) in the making:
Yeah, I don’t want to hear it, Yankees fans. You were always living on borrowed time after that.
Now that we’ve got that outta the way, let’s go ahead and get this class started with Lindsey Vonn gearing up for her 42nd birthday:
“I guess this means summer is overâ¦.but it also means my birthday is coming up soon,” Vonn wrote before dumping out a flurry of Instagram content from this past summer.
Amen, Lindsey! What a year for OutKick’s favorite Olympian. Scrambled her leg back in February, had everything patched up, and now she’s on the comeback tour as we close in on Halloween.
I would expect nothing less. She’s a champion. If I’m buying stock in 2027, it’s gonna be in Lindsey Vonn. I think she’s got more in the tank.
I can’t wait to find out.
Moving on …
Let’s head BACK to Yankee Stadium and check in with Jazz Chisholm after last night’s dud in New York.
Jazz, for those who missed it, was confused as to why Yankees fans booed the hell out of him after grounding out in the bottom of the ninth.
Seems like a real head-scratcher to me!
“It doesn’t hurt. It’s just confusing because it’s the playoffs and we’re trying to win games. So you’re booing a guy that’s playing trying to help the team win.”
Hey, Jazz â if you don’t wanna be booed, maybe head back down to Miami! I despise the Yankees, but I can absolutely understand why the fans booed you for swi
