baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

I told my friend tonight that it is such a burden to have three good football teams to cover. I had to add that I was being sarcastic. 😁

To the 15th, ahahahahahaha!

…and the Dodgers game on the West Coast is at 5:08 PM Central. What MLB idiot is choosing these start times?! 

Phew!

I hate that guy.

Wouldn't it be a kick in the pants if Q gets the win, given what he did in the post season for the Cubs?

There is a drunk guy in the stands yelling a bunch of crap, and oh boy.

getting through today

All with two outs.

Eff.

Chourio can suck it.

Blake Snell always looks like he’s only slept 2 hours this week and is fed up with all of the bullshit.

Scoring three runs (or less) in the post-season is not a recipe for success.

Ben Brown: 🙄😬

Utterly embarrassing, Cubs.

Yikes.

Play the bad song. Fly the W.

These announcers are annoying the ever loving crap out of me.

Nope.

Can the Cubs ever be on the winning end of a challenge?

I go to a monthly book club, mostly older ladies. The subject of Charlie Kirk came up and nearly all of them had never heard of him before the events of last month. Which is kind of heartening.

Piss.

During a news conference today, attorneys for Dr. Ian Roberts shared a letter they say was sent to Roberts from his former attorney. "I am pleased to report that your case has reached a successful resolution," the letter reads. More: https://tinyurl.com/2drvcpye

October is why. (Narrated by Anthony Rizzo)

So, someone has been lying and it wasn't Roberts.

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

Well, neither team won, so ....

Can both these teams lose?

Protect Dolly at all costs!

Tiny bugs pack a big punch: 'No-see-ums' are back and are as annoying as ever for Iowans

Every day, I say, "WTAF?!?!?"

We don't have money for health care, but there is $$$ aplenty for filthy commercials during the Cubs game to recruit for ICE.

Jimmy Kimmel’s “as I was saying” opener wasn’t random—it’s a callback to Jack Paar. In 1960 Paar walked off The Tonight Show after NBC cut a mild “WC” joke. 3 weeks later he returned, opening with the same line. Kimmel nodded to one of late night’s boldest moments.

Get him, Jimmy Kimmel!

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

Jon Stewart will be hosting a special edition of The Daily Show tonight, Comedy Central says. He usually only hosts on Monday nights.

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.
