Puzzle #69: Sports Betting

 Hey folks!

Back this week with a themeless I think you'll really enjoy! This one came about as a result of a bet between Brian Thomas and myself. Brian's Mariners were playing my Twins, and we agreed that the loser of the series would make a puzzle using a seed entry suggested by the winner. Our teams ended up splitting the series 2-2, and here's my puzzle! 

Thanks to Brian for the idea, which I hope catches on more, and for helping to test this one out--thanks also to Kate for her help with this one.

    Had to look up the 22-Across reference, haha.

    By the way, I'm interested in including the puzzles from Half Baked Puzzles in a crossword game I'm developing for PICO-8 (it's like a retro console). It'll be online-only, free to play, and non-commercial. The game will automatically pull your latest 14 or so puzzles from Amuse Labs for the player to solve. Do I have your permission to do this?

Puzzle #100: We Want A Pitcher (with Brian Thomas)

 Hi friends, 100 puzzles! Wow. That's pretty crazy. If you've solved even one along the way--THANK YOU. There are too many of you to thank but I'm so grateful to everyone who has solved a puzzle, made a puzzle with me, and even just talked about puzzles with me.   This week's offering is a themeless puzzle with Brian Thomas that's chock full of fun indie vibes. Go solve Brian's other puzzles too! I'm also very excited to be able to share an essay of mine that Daily Crossword Links has been kind enough to host, titled "No Scrubs" . It's a philosophy of solving crosswords that I hope will be beneficial to new solvers and competitive solvers alike. .puz PDF   Solution (If OneLook prompts a log-in, try opening in a private window) Mmm, gooey butter cake
