Nate McLouth didn't, for the record.

THE RETURN OF THE KING

Welcome back, Adley Rutschman. He blasts a two-run homer to give the Orioles a 5-4 lead in the eighth

DEAN KREMER CALLED IT

YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT THE BALL IN PLAY GUNNAR

well at least I'm 5k words into book 2 of WIP series

i do not like this. i do not like this at all.

Weston Wilson singlehandedly showing other Orioles hitters that you can, in fact, extend an AB

just keep hacking at the first pitch guys, it's fine, will definitely work. not like the inning where you scored runs involved making him throw a lot of pitches

SSFRG

wow he absolutely threw the ball before touching the bag

when I see Baz's stuff on display I don't understand how he IS NOT a #1 already, just...that fastball/curve combo should be that of a dominant TOR guy

Instead of a homer celebration, everyone who TOOTBLANs should have to wear a hubcap of shame in the dugout

alright so the pattern is clear: odd numbered innings, they got nothing. even numbered innings? WATCH OUT

did Dr Nick do Jackson Holliday's hamate surgery?

they should do this inning more often

that baseball had a FAMILY

Dean wearing toe socks in one of the pictures they're showing. No. Bad. No toe socks.

While out for a walk after work finished I saw a little dog kind of wandering around a neighborhood, close to a road where people drive way too fast. His coat was long and not very well kempt, and he was absolutely not going to come near me, but at least I did kind of 'scare' him away from the road

I will never forget sitting in a faculty meeting when a financial advisor told us all if we weren’t putting AT LEAST 15% of our salaries into his company’s IRA plan we were wasting and the roiling of angry laughter left him stunned

it is absolutely deranged that the common expectation is that americans will fund old age and disability through LIQUID FINANCIAL SPECULATION

My favorite character design micro-genre? Science fiction Debbie Harry

I believe that "decision fatigue" or something like it can absolutely be real. I also don't think a single billionaire has or ever will suffer from it, and saying they do is just another piece of PR-flack buffed mythos making bullshit.

a mouse or a keyboard that doesn't completely suck. revolutionary idea for apple, I know.

Adley back, yes good but if he needs to ease in, DH him. If he’s at C then keep Sammy’s bat in the lineup after last night

The Orioles get reinforcements in the form of Adley Rutschman. They activate the catcher off the injured list and designated Sam Huff for assignment

I have to leave for *five minute long indrawn breath of resignation* the dentist

Oh, would. WOULD.

Small update: I learned a couple of weeks ago that my book will be out in paperback instead of hardcover, which hopefully makes it a bit more accessible for folks who are interested but daunted by the high prices of hardcovers (I get it). Preorder links below!

When the Beornings are hitting the Honey Cake again, because these edibles aren't shit, it is time to clear out. Brother, you DO NOT want to be there in 30 minutes.

Soft-shell crabs are nasty, sorry. You aren't supposed to eat the _whole_ crab.

do you think hobbits prefer indica or sativa

Weed Strains of Middle-Earth: King Atop the Mountain, E-Z-Erebor, Esgaroth Smooth, Honeycake (these are marketed to Beornings so they're all minimum 25 mg) Rivendell Red, Gasp of Rohan, White Tree Woot

ME AT 5PM, DECIDING THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY: I’ll break my staff, bury it certain fathoms in the earth, and deeper than did ever plummet sound I’ll drown my book. ME AT 6:45PM, GOING BACK FOR MORE STAFF:

If the Ravens take a first round WR I am going to take four shits and die

I could bring the world of KNIGHTS OF LEGEND alive again. I could. Get at me, whoever owns the rights to an obscure 1989 CRPG that nobody remembers but me and @joshcall.bsky.social

Naturally, of course, his "guide" to GMing is chock full of AI slop illustrations. Apparently he now makes AI Slop Vidoes and claims to be an expert in creating "AI Cognitive engines." Plagiarism Engine Slop+Ken 'Whit' Whitman go together like shit and flies

I see Ken Whitman slithered out from whatever rock he'd been hiding under in order to bless those of us who'd been previously grifted by him with a PDF and a video on "The Whitman Method" of GMing, which I can only assume involves grifter your players

Okay I've read the post games and seen the clips but the Orioles did _what_

Post you (in glasses) in another country (in this case the Castle Arms, Edinburgh, Scotland)

can't wait to watch pete hit a massive fly ball that would be out in 29/30 parks but somehow hits a solid wall of cloud and falls back down into the cf's glove

Gunnar should sit tomorrow

i was NOT sure about that challenge Gunnar

Ben McDonald: yeah this guy was just picked up off waivers in his last stop his ERA was 100.34 and today it looks like he’s struggling with his command and his velo is way down Kevin Brown: strike 3 and Bing Bong McSlowarm has punched out the side of the first time in his career

this is anti-baseball

do you think hobbits prefer indica or sativa

yes kevin we know why it's grateful dead night. we have calendars. it is the funny number. not that one. the other one.

hey how's the Apple Vision Pro doing?

Marge knows she's about to get it eaten like groceries.

RICO GARCIA IS INEVITABLE.
