Jose Ram rez? This AP article on ESPN mispelled Jose Ramirez this way over and over again, including in the headline.
FInal
CHICAGO -- - Jo Adell and Jos
Ram rez powered Cleveland with a pair of two-out triples, and the Guardians avoided an AL Division Series sweep by cooling off the Chicago White Sox with a 9-3 victory in Game 3 on Wednesday.
Adell's three-run triple gave
Cleveland a 4-1 lead in the third inning. Ram rez's three-bagger drove in Travis Bazzana and
Patrick Bailey for a 7-3 advantage in the eighth.

The other aspect that I think encouraged the reader reaction to Natalie was Burke’s assertion that she actually hated her children. But that never read real to me. It struck me as kicking the dog. Or the kind of thing in real life we ascribe too easily to anyone we disagree with.

I think if you do have a lot of anger at that crowd, maybe it’s easier to get on board to laugh and cheer at the comeuppance and torture of Natalie - an awful character in a book full of them.

Still thinking about yesteryear, which probably means it was well done, even though I was disgusted a bit. I just wasn’t the right audience - the whole influencer lifestyle is gross and unethical and distasteful, but it’s not a world I know. So I didn’t start off with a high level of anger.

100% this. In the late 90s when my team (Cleveland) was great for a while, I remember thinking in April that baseball really didn’t matter until the postseason. That’s a terrible way to live. In 2026 I just enjoyed a beautiful long pennant race. The playoffs aren’t real.

Thought it was crazy at the end when the author tried to tell us that it was all Natalie’s choice to be there and she could leave anytime. Nah - you beat her, snapped a bear trap on her leg, and tied her to a bed for weeks.

Kept me hooked. The protagonist was hateful and judgmental, sure, and I wanted to see where the author went. The author turned out to be more hateful and judgmental and tortured her character until the end.

Exactly wrong. Trump has embraced and dialed up all of the worst and most dangerous aspects of the “war on terror”—including the bellicosity, the bigotry, and the theory of executive power. Trump isn’t moving on; he’s doubling down.

Even if you assume everything Sean Pond’s wife is saying is true…it is insane to me that this guy is offering political advice and serving as county commissioner while being so ignorant of, and too conceited to look up, how the law works. There’s nothing actionable here, not even close.

The Trump Administration was holding up 16 projects totaling $9 billion in investment and 22,000 jobs. All because the President doesn't believe in renewable energy. We will always fight back to help bring down energy costs for Illinoisans and put money back in your pockets.

I’m also angry and confused, just as the protagonist is. There was a monster in this book. It was a curious trick by the author - you think this is about martyrdom but nah, just “every day” suicide. The kind that has devastated so many, including me. And I think it got shorted by the author here.

Trump is the authoritarian. He/the GOP have agency & own all the things now. But the media/societal enabling of this "Blue America are not Real Folkz & their cities are sh*tholes" rhetoric, for my entire lifetime, helped make it possible. It should have been banned from polite society decades ago.
