Good morning. 🐿️⚾🧢

28 October 2025

I woke late again this morning, having stayed up well past my bedtime watching Game 3 of the World Series between the Dodgers and the Blue Jays. It was a nail-biter. I hung with it through the 13th inning, where the score was tied 5–5, but by then it was already midnight. I decided not to lose any more sleep over the game—after all, the results and a synopsis would surely be waiting in the morning.

Good thing I bowed out when I did. The game stretched into the 18th inning, finally ending when Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off home run to seal a 6–5 victory for the Dodgers. By that time, it was nearly midnight in Los Angeles—making it 3 a.m. in Louisiana. Bottom line: the Dodgers won. Yay.

Game 4 is tonight, and the fat lady hasn’t sung yet. Both teams must be exhausted. I think the Dodgers nearly ran through their entire pitching staff. Maybe tonight they’ll manage to keep it to nine innings. It’s definitely competitive—both teams clearly want this, and it shows.

I mentioned the saying “It ain’t over until the fat lady sings” in the last paragraph, which got me curious about its origin. Turns out, it dates back to 1976, when the phrase “The opera ain’t over until the fat lady sings” appeared in the Dallas Morning News during coverage of a tied basketball game. It’s thought to reference Brünnhilde, the Valkyrie in Richard Wagner’s Götterdämmerung, whose final aria marks the end of the opera.

Hmm... the saying feels older to me, but apparently not. The details are mildly interesting and, of course, available on-the-line.

“It’s not over till it’s over.” — Yogi Berra

“Brünnhilde doesn’t just sing—she ends worlds.” — Richard Wagner
