Who are you, and what have you done with Tommy Kahnle?

Oh, yeah. I’ve been everywhere, man.

Troy Melton is just crushing it.

My wife and I are at a Chili’s in Kingman, Arizona, watching the game, which they were gracious enough to turn a channel to. Trail Skubal went to high school in Kingman Arizona. I am not making this up, and I did not set it up to be this way. Complete coincidence.

Riley notwithstanding, the Tigers looked like they were fulfilling the Mariners’ narrative that top half of the first inning.

Oh my god I love stuffing the collapse/comeback narrative up the Guardians’ asses!

My wife and I are taking a break from driving Route 66 in Pasadena, California, just to come into this game thread and say oh my effing God

It was somewhat defensible to give us a two-hour exclusivity window when there were four games, but what’s the big idea of giving us a two-hour exclusivity window today? Why not start us at 2pm? Do they want people to bail on the end of our game for the Cubs game?

Rendon is right up there with Josh Hamilton, Panda Sandoval, Jacoby Ellsbury, Chris Davis ... and Prince Fielder.

So against the fans? You big meanie, you. 😁

Win.

I am really, really looking froward to the new Ken Burns documentary series about the American Revolution. I am definitely not looking forward to the Trump people using it as a cudgel in their stupid ****ing culture war, whinging endlessly about how woke the series is because the it has the gall and the audacity to highlight any contributions at all from women, people of color, and First Nations people. The MAGA elitists might even use the program as an excuse to put PBS into the guillotine once and for all. It looks amazing, though.

They stopped talking about it because they couldn’t pin it on a southpaw, even though they try to do so for every single shooting, and invariably, the allegation is always laid out flat on its back by the facts. The unfortunate thing is, that whole line of rhetoric is governed by the Principle of It Takes Only One—it this case, it takes only one legitimate case of a lefty actually perpetrating a mass shooting in the general vicinity of maga-friendly culture before Trump declares a national emergency and martial law, sending the military into every major city in the country, particularly those governed by people of color, and rounding up local political leaders, media, academia, and community organizers, as well as many of the ordinary people merely in proximity to them, by the tens or hundreds of thousands. They will be disappeared in plain sight from their family, friends, and neighbors, sequestered away indefinitely within our own country, unreachable and incommunicado, and will meet whatever their fate might be. And then we will truly be off to the races on the collapse of traditional American ideals.

I miss the days ten or so years ago when I said Trump would do this kind of thing if he got elected and i was castigated for engaging in “Alarmist Non-sense.” Can we please go back to those days so I can have a breather from this new reality?

That’s got to be written into the TV contracts with the various networks

Do we need a TV provider to sign up for MLB.tv in the first place? I did not know that’s a requirement.

I promise you second amendment “patriots” themselves would not follow the law and would still have guns as well. Which would make them criminals at the point And as criminals they don’t follow laws. What the what …

In all seriousness they may justify government militias made up of deputized citizens as an effort to rid the country of leftist tyrants like Antifa and Portland residents and people who lip off on message boards.

We sold NVDA last year at 125-ish. It looked like a genius move for several months.

I might try to have Kix for breakfast on one of these stops.

Well, that’s even worse, isn’t it? Good thing there was already one out when I was able to tune back in, otherwise I might have had a heart dissection on the way to TSA.

Would you be willing to spend 30 bucks to get MLB.tv for the postseason?

That’s exactly what made it a genius move at that moment. Guardians sure weren’t looking for that!

So just as McStinky struck out to end the ninth, the Uber dropped us off at Terminal 1, so I had to focus on getting tags and checking bags in and all that. After I was done and we left that counter, I saw that Vest let a man get to third with one out. On the way to TSA, I did see Vest field the chopper and tag Ramirez out coming off third, and then getting C.J. Kayfus (.500/.583/.700 against us this year) to pop out to Javy. By the time I showed the humorless TSA lady my spiffy new Real ID, I was the happiest person in line.
