Feeling good today about the upstart New York Yankees (scrappy, charming) finally taking some of the local media attention away from the boring and staid New York Mets (highest payroll in baseball, insidious partnership with global fast food conglomerate).

Truly a dominant performance by Cam Schlittler even taking into account how dogshit the Red Sox lineup is.

Hearing reports that pitching has gotten so dominant that MLB intends to lower the mound by 15 inches. Pitchers will effectively be throwing out of a five-inch hole in the ground. I am pro-pitching and take no pleasure in reporting this.

Today is the 118th anniversary of possibly the best named baseball event-- Merkle's Boner. Fred Merkle forgot to advance to 2nd base on what would've been a game-winning hit to center for the NY Giants.

Not that he'll break single digits in a primary, but Christie is one of those guys who should never be able to wipe the stench of Trump off of himself. Christie endorsed him in 2016 and chaired his transition! Don't ever let him forget it.

The degree to which ICE has ramped up in North Jersey recently cannot be overstated. Yesterday, ICE kidnapped four people a block from an elementary school at dropoff time in Montclair. This is after mass raids in Passaic, Ironbound and Kearny.

Out of Time was my middle school album, Automatic for the People was my freshman year of high school album, and this was my first year of college album. Three perfect records that defined my precious youth. (Monster was good too)

INBOX: To promote its latest spritz brand launch, Campari Group is going to place big mysterious suitcases around NYC on the week of the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Some fascinating choices here.
Sarti encourages consumers to break away from the everyday and add a little more fun, spontaneity, and irreverence to social occasions. To celebrate its U.S. debut, Sarti will bring its "Too Pink to Care" platform to life through immersive experiences in New York City and San Diego featuring unexpected moments, interactive installations and Sarti Spritzes.

Beginning today through Thursday, September 10th, the celebration unfolds across New York City, where oversized mystery pink luggage trunks will appear throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn. These unexpected, immersive moments will introduce consumers to Sarti, with the chance to RSVP for a special launch event. On Saturday, September 12th, Sarti's signature pink vessel will set sail along New York's iconic Hudson and East Rivers, announcing the brand's stateside arrival in unmistakable fashion.

I bought my first house in July, and the process was...fraught. My landlord sold my apartment to a guy who wanted to live in it, so I had 60 days to vacate. Every time I'd get outbid, I'd think, "This is just going to make my installment of The Hunt that much better." Please enjoy.

POEMS
THE LOVED ONES
By Wendell Berry

Our free daily newsletter delivers context, not clutter. Sign up.
The loved ones we call the dead depart from us and for a while are absent. And then as if called back by our love, they come near us again. They enter our dreams.
We feel they have been near us when we have not thought of them.
They are simply here, simply waiting while we are distracted among our obligations. At last it comes to us: They live now in the permanent world.
We are the absent ones.
