Draft of the recap for the Guardians game in tomorrow's newsletter.

Subscribe to Cup of Coffee for similar hard-nosed baseball analytics. www.cupofcoffeenews.com
Guardians 9, Rangers 8: With Detroit losing nearly an hour earlier the Guardians had already clinched the AL Central. But winning this game like they did – with a four-run tenth inning rally capped off by a walkoff three-run homer from Brayan Rocchio – bolstered a theory of mine: that the Guardians are possessed of more Devil Magic that any team since the La Russa-era Cardinals. They had a massive comeback here. They clinched their playoff spot on Saturday night on a walkoff hit-by-pitch. They beat Detroit with 57 dinks-and-doinks last week, with the rally being kicked off by their own dude getting hit in the damn face with a hundred mile-per-hour heater. And, of course, they came back and won the AL Central from 15.5 games down despite ending the season with a negative run differential. There is nothing natural about any of this. And they don't friggin' care, man. That's the most unsettling part. The Cleveland Guardians can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. I don't actually think that means they're World Series favorites or anything, but it does mean that we toy with them at our peril. If they eventually get knocked out of the playoffs it's probably because they just get beat, but it's also possible it will be because they accidentally ran their car over the entire opposing team and were deemed to have forfeited. And now they get the Tigers again after playing them six times in the last two weeks, winning five of those contests in no small part because Detroit seemed utterly spooked and intimidated. It's almost cruel.

"Chicago Pope" is like a 1994 SNL sketch. Airs at 12:20am, the only gag is that Chris Farley has a mustache and is doing a big accent. David Spade and the guest host (Joe Mantegna) keep breaking during it.

Last night the national anthems of both the United States and Japan were performed on a piano that was wheeled out onto the field. I’ve been to thousands (?) of sporting events in my life and have never seen an anthem done this before. It was so moving, simple, and spectacular.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

One concrete action you can take to support trans rights if you are a person of public interest like, say, an author, an actor, an athlete, or a musician, is to simply tell the New York Times you won’t talk to them due to their reprehensible and consistent platforming of modern Nazis.

Going down internet rabbit holes about Robert Palmer and, alternately, The Roches. Robert Palmer covered "New Day Rising" and "Girl U Want." Suzzy Roche is married to Loudon Wainwright III. Also, Robert Fripp of King Crimson produced the first Roches album. How's your Monday going?
