Week 4 of the #pinball league had us on the road playing our biggest rivals. We did not have it tonight and lost 11-5. Played ok but ok isn’t good enough against this team, winning on Robocop and losing on Diner & Fish Tales for a 1-2 evening. We are 2-2 and sitting in the middle of the pack.

Movie: Toy Story 5 (2026) - Unnecessary sequel is a bit of a downer that doesnt come close to the heights of its predecessors.

This past weekend I was back on my #pinball bullshit. Saturday was I think a first for me, in one hundred thirty-four tournaments, I finished dead last. Sunday my bad luck reared its head at the worst possible moment, knocking me out of the finals to finish tied for sixth.

Garand, which any team could have had for nothing, pitches a shutout in his first start of the season. #NYR

And I missed it because the #NHL and/or #Rangers won’t let me stream just their games like MLB does the Mets.

Week 3 of the #pinball league had us at home versus a team tied for first place. We swept them in Round 1 and kept the momentum for a 14-2 thrashing. Jesus saves for Ball 3 and I was a believer, having two huge finals balls for wins on Ghostbusters & Demolition Man. Rivalry match next week!

One thing that I haven’t seen mentioned with regards to the #Mets decision making is how they waited until the season was too far gone to fire Mendoza while both the #RedSox & #Phillies made the managerial change early to salvage their postseason aspirations.

Week 2 of the #pinball league started w/us in last place looking up at everyone. We were on the road against one of my favorite teams to play. It was a back & forth affair that came down to the final round, but we prevailed 9-7. Played well going 2-0 w/wins on Congo & NBA Fastbreak.

Caught David Byrne last night. Somehow the stage design was better than what he had on Broadway. Cannot recommend enough.

Back when I was younger shit-ass, my concert cohorts (@marcps.bsky.social was one) and I went to see Ben Folds at The Beacon where Duncan was the opener. We were joking around (not too loudly) when a guy turned around and said he “was here to see Duncan”…

Good on the players for calling out these “fans”. It’s stay true to the orange and blue, not stay true to the orange and blue only when they’re having a winning season. #Mets

Season 31 on the #Pinball League started last night at home. We must have thought it was still the preseason b/c we got stomped 14-2. Had a good game on Jaws and a decent game on Godzilla & went 1-1 on the night. Hopefully the winning starts next week on the road.

So how are the #Giants going to blow this?

Name a non LOTR character who could resist the one ring.

Tommy is already a wizard and the one ring won’t make him any better at pinball. Being deaf, dumb, & blind doesn’t hurt either.

Why does the #Mets broadcast always seem to mention the death of Jose Fernandez whenever they are in Miami? Is there really that little to talk about?

Did a thirty-one hour speed run around Boston-Cambridge. Went to five breweries, two pinball parlors, and one Red Sox game. Overall, still not a fan of the city.

Just want to give a shoutout to the pizza pop-up at the brewery I’m at that’s charging $7 for a slice of Ellio’s with some shaved parmesan for the huge set of balls he has.

Instead of doing laundry & other chores yesterday I took the ferry to play in a pinball tournament. It was a long day but the right call. I also finished fourth.
