Nothing like post-season baseball even if I can only be here for an hour because I have to do kid pickup

@spacecitywx.bsky.social Sorry, Eric, but @mattlanza.bsky.social is right. September is the cruelest month because it’s pumpkin spice everywhere, and it will _never_cool_down!

Not quite Cillizza seats, but pretty nice. Waiting to see my daughter sing the national anthem with her school’s choir.

Hot dog, popcorn, drink and seats behind home plate for $20–not bad. 🙂

$17.76 tickets and $2.50 dogs—who cares if it’s the Rays today?

What my daughter did during the Cubs-Astros game. Her way of appreciating Wrigley Field.

A pencil sketch of an outfield scoreboard at Wrigley Field. Wrigley is out of focus in the background.

The outfield sign that was the inspiration for the pencil sketch.

Watching the Astros at Wrigley Field. Even in the top section, you can see the game so well here.

A photo of Wrigley Field from the 400 section. Even with a column blocking part of the outfield, it’s a great view of the game.

@pablo.show Today’s show was a great way to come back from your break—after watching, I had to re-watch the original deep dive with Michael Cruz Kayne. How that episode has fewer than 7,000 views is a crime because it is so good. Please let us know when and where we can watch the taped show.

I will always be grateful to my kids’ art teacher for showing me how to make T-shirt yarn. We did this as part of a community service day years ago at our local elementary school, and now when I cut up shirts to make a T-shirt quilt, I make the rest of the shirt into T-shirt yarn. /1

A navy and light gray woven rag rug made from T-shirt yarn. The rug is finished but still on the loom.

A multicolored woven rage rug on the floor. The rug is fraying in several spots and is dirty from use. This rug was made by my great aunt and is at least 20 years old.

The mariachi singer Kendrick Lamar asked to be on GNX told me her story — and it’s unforgettable, in her own right. It involves quinceañeras, Fernando Valenzuela, the World Series, and, hopefully, the Super Bowl. Please listen to the end 🇲🇽🇺🇸⤵️ youtu.be/EvwNY7uScUs?...
