Anyway just remember it's fucking baseball. No one close to Little or Schneider needs to hear from any psychotic losers who take sports too seriously

Little has been demonstrably worse than the other leverage options, or even Lauer (or Fluharty, though he's probably down), for some time now.

Playing for the 3rd batter in an inning -- who hits lefties well, anyway -- when the 1st and 2nd are so dangerous is a major error.

I found Rivera WAY too conservative with sending runners. Not sure if I’m right on that but I was annoyed by it often

... then I realized: oh it's just less blindingly bright here. Huh.

Then I realized: OH! It's because the buildings are stone and not canyons of reflective glass and steel. And oh!, the roads meander and curve, and aren't on an endless east-west grid where you walk facing into the sunlight

I noticed something I thought was odd in Europe: no one was wearing sunglasses. They were just rawdogging the sunlight at mid-afternoon. Was it just a style thing? Were my sunglasses making me a déclassé foreigner?...

You’d think they’d be embarrassed to keep saying it at this point

The homeowner saw on the security camera that a bear was playing on the outdoor swing every day, but couldn't get on.
So he had a bigger swing built, and this was the result.😎🤣💙☺️
