I think you just taught me a thing I will use.

I felt cheated on Sixth Sense because I figured it out. I’m not bragging because I wish I didn’t and I try hard to not figure things out because I like surprises. I don’t read reviews and cut people off when they try to tell me. I don’t even want to know if they liked it or not.

I’m thinking specifically of the bullpens games. I’m not suggesting it will. Just that is what my brain is expecting. A too good to be true kind of thing. This can’t go on can it? Maybe I remember the wings in February of this year.

I had 2 early games postponed. But that’s not unusual in April or May.

She’s just jealous she had a real job.

I don’t care about the playoffs. Just keep doing what they are. Progress. I keep expecting the wheels to come off any moment.

He's right.

Those names... people loved JaCoby.

My favorite is Office Space. Two other previous favorites did not age well... American Pie and American Beauty. I mean... a girl gets spied on via the internet, the whole school sees it... .and she's the one who's punished by being sent home? American Beauty? Even without what we know about Spacey.... the lusting after the HS school and how she's presented. Icky. Talented Mr. Ripley was also released that year and... I hated this movie. I know it's got love by people but this is the only time I wanted to leave the theater. I was legit angry. The Green Mile is worthy of note. Great cast when you look back on it.

I was still home by midnight. Back in the old days when I would go with a certain friend all the time, that wasn't unusual. The 7 start time, a 3+ hour game, driving him home first... it wasn't so bad last night. I was the only one sitting in the box seats of sections 213-217. I went downstairs to get another beer and was standing there watching and an usher told me to go on down there if I wanted as long as I am not obnoxious. So I did. Almost got a ball in the ninth but I had my beer in my left hand so I couldn't turn around fast enough as it bounced off the facade. I grabbed it with my left hand but another guy had a better angle.

I didn't read it yet but there's an article going around by Will Bunch calling Harris the first post media presidential candidate. She's turned her back on legacy media that's focused on clickbait and both sidesing. And it appears to be driving them mad.

Yea. I didn’t get dressed up for nothing.

I’m pleasantly surprised how many are here.

That’s what it said an hour ago. But this is the view west.

It looked like about an hour ago the rain was almost done. In fact it did stop. Then it’s been raining pretty good since. And now a huge thunder. I’m thinking they’d won’t play. I’m just reading a book on my kindle in my car. Wish I had a beer.

Rain stopped but there’s still lingering lightning and thunder.

View to the northwest. Sun peeking thru those clouds coming this way.

Five Guys is too high brow for them.

From my parking spot by bookies. I see people walking in because I guess the lure of standing around drinking $12 beers is too much. 71 degrees out too.

Line of storms coming thru could impact things.

I’m going by myself tonight. Nobody in my family wants to go, don’t blame them, so I exchanged my other ticket for Friday. (There’s a an orphan seat behind me in between two groups of ST holders). I’d like to see them with a winning record and I haven’t left the house, except for walks around the block since Sunday afternoon.

According to the replies on twitter, it was something the deceased soldier did a lot so it was a tribte to her. I wondered the same thing. Maybe she was a Dio fan.

Maybe instead of a starter having a throwing session in the bullpen in between starts (not a game, practice), they start a game intead and pitch an inning or two.

I also notice they're doing smaller events.... just standing in front of cops in a strip mall or whatever. An old Nixon trick in one of his first campaigns, either the House or Senate, was he had a mole on the advance staff of his opponent. He'd book them in very large spaces so that it looked like nobody was there with the empty seats. 100 people in a 500 person room is worse than 75 in a 75 person room.

If his votes and Jr's votes are more than VPOTUS... wait for him, and the party, to claim that he should win the state. You know it will happen. They might even try to file it in court or as an objection.
