Stitches Bids Farewell After Disappointing MLB Season

The 2026 Major League Baseball season has concluded, and with it, the betting column "Stitches" is signing off. The author, who has been providing insights and predictions throughout the season, expressed disappointment with the final outcome of his wagers.

After closing the gap to -95 "clendenons" following the wild-card round, the column's performance took a downturn. The author noted that money was draining from his account rapidly, comparing it to water leaking from a sink. The season concluded with a net loss of -961 "duffydyers."

Amidst the financial setbacks, the columnist also mentioned that actor Noah Wyle was named "Sexiest Man Alive" by People Magazine, a point of personal observation unrelated to the betting results. Other individuals mentioned in passing as also experiencing a "wait until next year" sentiment include Greg Gutfeld and Aaron Boone.

Reflecting on the year, the author thanked readers for their contributions and feedback, with a special acknowledgment to "Don Reed." The column also noted humorous "write-in votes" for "Stitches for Governor."

Looking ahead, the author's wife suggested relocating to Utah, a state where gambling is illegal, as a potential change of pace. While the betting column is concluding, "Stitches" indicated that the email address [email protected] will remain open throughout the winter for discussions on various topics, from Thanksgiving preparations to board games.
