That's a counterpoint from a different source, yes.

If it’s baseball we’re talking about, then the Tigers will lose two today, just like the 35-5 Tigers team that marched into Seattle on May 25, 1984, and got swept by the 20-24 Mariners. Hmmm … 20-24. Interesting.

Perfect, except if he wants actual verisimilitude, he should have Lance Parrish waving futilely at a slider hitting the LHH batter’s box.

Yes, the hills are there are alive, aren’t they?

Exactly! Well, except …

Looking promising so far!

I'm going to a university in Indianapolis where the festivities start around noon. They're supposed to have live music and food trucks and professors explaining things and stuff like that.The actual eclipse starts around 1:50pm, it's full at 3:06pm for a few minutes. Our plan, currently, is to leave here about 6:00am and get into the area by 10:00am. I hope we can get from the edge of the city to the university within two hours. But the way this is getting hyped up, we may end up sitting on the side of a street someplace and just looking at it ourselves. maybe some local radio station will have an astronomer on air to explain it as it goes. We booked a hotel near the airport on March 19, and ended up there because a bunch of hotels near the university were already sold out. Good thing we had the presence of mind to book a reservation for dinner nearby!

You misspelled "careful".

Apropos of nothing, "astronomically low" seems like an oxymoron.

I think they would regard that as preferable to playing two on Thursday.

I would think the drainage is first rate, since the stadium was built in 2009.

Looking at the Skilling app, they may have a two-hour window to get most if not all of the game in, but it’s probably not until after 10pm local.

Yes, and, like, literally ill.

Uhhhhh …

Remember, not a genocide

Maybe my objection to the specific word “celly” is that it’s so close to “Belli” (sounds like “belly”), which is a nickname for Cody Bellinger that sounds weirdly sexual when applied to him, and doubly so when applied to him by Boog Sciambi.

I would be proud to tell you so, but thanks for saving me the time! 😁

Related to this, I'm just about giving up on anything Jason Beck writes. It feels as though practically all of it is specifically PR for the organization. Yes, I understand he works for mlb.com, but there are ways to position things without looking like a complete shill.

I don't think there will be too much of that segregation of thinking. If you're solidly pro-choice, you're not setting that aside to vote for MAGA. You are either anti-choice, or agnostic on the issue (e.g., pro-abortion only when one will make your own life easier).

My wife tips the owner of her salon because she did my wife's hair while an employee at another salon, and my wife followed her to her new place. I'm sure that happens to customers all the time.

New baseball pet peeve: calling what they do in the dugout after a home run a "celly". I had never seen that word until this past weekend and now I've seen it half-dozen times since.

If Florida is in play, then Georgia and Arizona are definitely gone, North Carolina is probably gone, Texas and Maine-2 will be on the bubble, and even Alaska and Iowa will be interesting. If Trump ends up losing Ohio, it should be an electoral bloodbath.

I did not find my maid in a competitive marketplace and stack up her potential against that of employed Molly Maids. A friend recommended her to me. She was with us from 1999 until COVID. I paid her the fee she herself set, and I tipped her only at Christmas. It did not seem to affect our relationships, either personal or business. But if being a "wage slave" is the criterion, and everyone is ultimately a wage slave because they have to compete against everyone else for their income even if they are a lone entrepreneur whose price is influenced by what those in the employee sector make, then I guess everyone should get tipped, right? And hey, what about the guys who changed the oil in my car today? I mean, that's a service, right? And they're "wage slaves", right? So, what ... go back, introduce myself, and tip them? Or no? And what about an employee at a furniture store who showed me some options in easy chairs, and I end up buying one there? Did this "wage slave" not provide a service by presenting options to me that led to a purchase? So, 15% extra to him on top of the cost of the chair? Yeah? And what if he's the proprietor of the store, an independent furniture store, and he's just starting out so he is limiting his draw from the revenue so he can live modestly, as a furniture store salesman just starting out might, while he works to build his business? He has made himself a temporary "wage slave" in this scenario, has he not? So ... tip him for his service? I'm not asking for guidance here—I know where I draw my line. I'm asking, where do you draw yours?

Really, there would be no other practical way, since the alternative would be to blow off two different concurrent off days for both teams later in the season, and what a nightmare that would be.
