Are there seriously other times that has happened? *”Other“ implies it actually happened with Talarico, which seems unlikely.

Chavez, Peacock and Turley all closed out the 8th inning of losing efforts on the road, and a pitcher from the home team threw the last pitch of the 9th. In ‘45 Dizzy Trout gave up the game winning hit in the 12th. Borowy threw the first pitch as the home starter in Game 7.

If I’m not mistaken, only Batista threw the last pitch of one game and the first pitch of the next.

Thanks for your replies. Most of that doesn’t speak well of the tenure process. I’m sure there are reasons for it. But if a university can’t say, “this person doesn’t quite fit, but damn they’re worth keeping,” then it ought to look at what it’s doing.

Really the best way to report on that game is “The Guardians defeated the White Sox 9-5. No other details are available.“

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Voting early means your team can take you off the list; they will spend their time and money trying to contact voters who haven't voted and may be harder to get to the polls (for whatever reason). Voting early helps your candidate.

- In the pilot Mary and Rhoda can’t stand each other, they’re at war, and in episode 2 they’re besties. No explanation. - The whole show lives in this liminal space where Mary is surrounded by swingers and seems to want it? But can’t pull the trigger. - Rhoda tho is Hot2Go

At this point I think it's gamesmanship. Calling in hopes that you won't answer, so then they can say they called you, take it off their to-do list / report to their boss that they reached out to you and haven't heard back yet, and go about their day. (Assuming this is work-related in some way.)

I love the way, in every culture I have encountered in a museum, all over the world, the earliest art is some image or design on a useful object. We make bowls or baskets or jugs to live. And as soon as we do, we look for ways to make them meaningful beyond their practical purpose.

When your value proposition is “yes it’s a shit sandwich, but you might come to like it,” it’s not clear more advertising is helpful. There’s also “yes but THEIR shit sandwich is worse,” I guess, but the best that will do is convince me to eat at home.
