Heading to the desert to experience my first-ever hurricane. If I get swept away, I want my bowling equipment buried at the bottom of Lake Michigan.

Funny thing with the chop... I am completely on board that it is inappropriate (especially when encouraged by the Game Day Ops people). On the other hand, though... is it really October if you don't hear it for 3 hours a couple of times a week?

(I am sorry to Padres fans, though. I have nothing against you except Manny Machado, and I know you have suffered greatly. I just heard somebody say in the group chat that Rays-Brewers would lose in the ratings to reruns of Modern Family, which is probably true and I love it. Small Market Series!)

To everyone without a rooting interest loving this series: fuck you. You’re basically getting off on torture porn.

The brewers can finish the sweep tonight and the entire fox crew will pick San Diego to win game four.

God may want the Brewers/Sox, but MLB and Fox wants LA/NY

Though I generally agree with you, I've watched the Brewers in the playoffs for a couple decades. Energy is for the Saturday night crowd. Sunday afternoon crowds need to see something, first. Give me a reason (besides ticket ownership) to get excited.

Ty France And The Padres Thwarted By Good Old Reality | Defector
Ty France talks like a guy who is pretty sure he’d socked a game-winning dinger. “I stood there and watched it, and it was going,” France said Saturday, of his ninth-inning moonshot. “It was staying f...

MLB makes roof decisions in the playoffs. And because it was raining during the game.

I saw a stat somewhere on BlueSky that said that with that exit velocity and launch angle that there is an expected batting average of .035.

That's a big point. The ball could have struck the cable and come straight down into No Man's Land instead of just deflecting towards the spot in which Chourio was headed. That would have cleared the bases and possibly also changed the outcome.

It was about 55 degrees and drizzling while the game was in progress.

I think they are aimed at guys like me (not the "58 year old white male" demographic, but rather that "It seemed like a good idea a the time but I never really paid attention to why ____ failed so spectacularly" demographic). ABA, WHA,USFL and '94 MLB strike docs are right up my alley, too.

The problem is that on this topic only, he's not far off. I can't believe the success of my 401K. OTOH, I'd happily accept a more moderate return to rid the world of the narcissistic, corrupt Dear Leader.

@jrradcliffe.bsky.social - I was at a poker table in Vegas, watching the game on a TV way, way down there (with no sound). I bumped the table pretty hard as I jumped out of my chair and let off a scream.
