Specialization is a reflection of the increased study of the data. Its the result of Adam Smith, and Taylorism and Henry Ford identifying more and more details and then studying those some more looking for advantages. When our data tools were less sophisticated we didn't study as well or as efficiently. Now, we have data about things we never would have thought of 20 or even 10 years ago. I had some elaborate riff about how soon AI and the algorithms were going to harmonize human existence but...lets not get carried away.

The pipe bomb person appeared to be female. From the hulking gate it appeared to possibly be MTG

Riley gets a knock...was worried he was broken!

Jason Foley is the sacrificial lamb

Harold, your up in the bottom of the 7th. Yes, I know i said bottom and we are the road team. I meant you are pitching.

So far, not

damn

Hopefully Riley Greene gets back on track

Moral victories lead to actual victories.

i.e., what we casual fans expected but were warned by others not to be surprised when there was regression away from.

I don't like that Riley Greene had a very rough game at bat. His defensive play with that dive was awesome though.

Get it under 10 games under .500 and I'll feel better about the season.

They seem pretty cutting edge at bringing the latest in modern degeneracy to MLB.

Hmmm...

The broadcast resumed but it appears your tale of alien murder did not occur or at least to the degree you state. I am outraged that Chicago's less great AL team has a 4K broadcast and our 100 Year+ franchise from among the venerable original franchises of MLB has some crap from a degenerate gambling outfit that can barely survive a few drops of rain...

TV went out with some rain around here. But, it appears that Fulmer pulled it off.

Come on now

Take that jerk sox!

Pour it on Blyth!

I was extremely happy to see that our two problem children (Baez and Torkelson) both had key hits.

I was enjoying him as the FBI boss in The Americans

My one non-snarky speculation about the possible motive of the assassin is that the Aum Shinrikyo cult members were as crazed and violent as the Manson family (much more violent in fact). I wonder if this was a Squeaky Fromme type after-shock.

Ok, I'm beginning to question the assassin's motives.

Abe was a very important figure in the creation of the US, Japan, Australia, India Quad. I see this morning that Indian politicians are sending many condolence tweets. Way too early to draw any conclusion about his death as related to that. However, he was of singular importance in this nascent alliance.

The tweets I saw indicated shotgun. Two of those at close range and I can imagine this result.
