stuck my head out the door and it’s pretty frickin’ unrewarding out there.

Taking a fact-checking edit or two to my next SABR Games Project story, which is a rare outing that covers two games at once. I think the baseball junkies in the peanut gallery will find it interesting.

Yes, I hate it when the blood starts flowing But I'm glad to see resistance growing

Weekend cooking music: the quiet/thoughtful/religious/bitchy/funny Beatle, who as of this coming November will be 25 years free of the material world.

Didn’t know until I read this what Smith had been up to recently. Call me a sap but I love it when people manage to pivot into a second creative, interesting, apparently rewarding career.

As a longtime lover of (and briefly a participant in) New England town government, I would love to see the Foxborough Select Board torpedo the local World Cup games.

this basically is Captain Beefheart's "Ice Cream for Crow" video, only without the tumbleweeds and the flaky-ass paintings and the guitarists rolling around in the dust and Van Vliet pointing his finger at the camera on every other line

Walworth is about two towns east of my hometown. One of the communities in between is Gananda, which was one of 13 planned cities that got a big jolt of HUD development funding circa 1970 but lost it again. It was supposed to be a city of 90,000 and instead it's a dot-on-the-map of 6,500.

I try not to wallow in the overly familiar -- there is a world of new stuff to discover -- but I just put on "Killer Queen" and boy, would I not change a single note of that song. Wouldn't touch a single fader on the board. Mash that follow button for more 🔥 takes

I might be betraying a certain lack of technique, but … no. Bless him for the sentiment, but no.

This year is the 150th year of competitive baseball in Seattle! I took a look back at Seattle and the surrounding areas in 1877, and got to know the team that started it all: the Alki Base Ball Club. They captured Seattle's hearts and we haven't been without baseball since.

if you took my advice last year and bought used leather pants, wore those leather pants, and then resold them on eBay, you would have made more money than if you invested in bitcoin

puh-leeze: my employer’s IT department just sent the annual “someone sent you a valentine!” phishing test. Bitch, I’m Charlie Brown: ain’t nobody sending me valentines.

Joe Schultz approves.

This is incredible. It’s going to be so fun to load up the family and catch a game at The Big Merkin.

as i keep saying, the things to do to secure elections are to volunteer to work the polls or to serve as an observer, & to pressure your *state representatives* to take steps to further secure voting locations and ballots. you should also learn about how election administration works in your area.

As an old I am required to inform everyone there was a time when there were a lot of journalists working full time and it was considered a pretty good and stable career

the only useful thing this poll accomplished was to remind me of Booker Moore, a running back on the sh!tty Bills teams of my boyhood.

dude, what song was that

Rest in peace Mickey Lolich. This is when my brother and I met him at his Lake Orion donut shop in early 1984. He wasn't even at the shop that day but when we showed up they called him and he came in anyway because a couple of kids wanted to meet him. He was a hell of a nice guy.

Mickey Lolich, a throwback to the days when men wore suits and ties to ballgames (or at least World Series games)

RIP Mickey Lolich, pitcher turned pastrymaker.

For my homies with extra change floating around: there’s a ballpark in Allentown looking for a name.

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?
