I’m OK with Thomson staying on as manager but I hope he adds a bench coach who can advise him on in-game decisions. Alas, it’s probably time to try a different hitting coach however.

But what I’d really enjoy is not having to hear about the American government every day. Bring back boring.

I feel terrible for Kerkering and hope he has good people around him. He’s going to be a great asset for the Phillies.

Hey @samadams.bsky.social were you my editor for this in Jan. 2001?

I’m very happy to see Krasznahorkai win it. In 2001, having recently moved back from Budapest, I published what was probably his first American review. It was in the now defunct Philly City Paper.

How’d that series turn out?

That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made
And crowns for convoy put into his purse:
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
