Alex spots a baseball player and in disbelief, she clasps her hands to the sides of her face and says "WOW! Trey Yesavage! You're my hero!" Trey Yesavage points to himself with this thumb and nonchalantly states "I was born after 9/11. Alex's face rapidly ages, melting into a heap of loose skin and wrinkles. John Schneider grabs Yesaage by the shoulder and says "Kid, you gotta stop introducing yourself to people that way."

Smart money says Dodgers, but this could very easily turn into a reverse-1988 situation.

A Blue Jays championship would be incredible, but I need Springer to go 0-for-the-rest-of-his-career.

Also included thoughts on how awesome Blue Jays fans are for donating to Seattle Children's Hospital after they defeated the Mariners in the ALCS, and for donating to Dodgers charities now to rally around Vesia.

Thinking I may belong in Canada.

Free for all readers. The World Series begins today, but some things are more important than baseball. Thoughts go out to the Vesia family <3:

I've had a 38mm CW GMT for a few years and it's been great. Terrific performance for its price point (~$1k,) terrific design, versatility, and durability.

I always pleasantly surprised at how well that movie turned out. Thank the two lead performances for making something potentially ridiculous into legitimately human and frightening.

"It: Welcome to Derry" is overflowing with major shortcomings, but none are quite as great as its central plot's sheer, unbridled asininity.

He was a crusader of "life was sure better when kids called adults 'sir' and 'ma'am" and people left their doors unlocked."

Why doesn't he still have a column? Whoops, he had an affair with a high school girl!

This is eerily reminiscent of when I'd read Bob Greene's columns in Chicago papers in the 80s and 90s: self-indulgent soliloquies that tried so hard to have deeper meaning but were really just a bad case of diarrhea of the mouth.

MLB handled the Astros' scandal so badly that the lesson learned by every current and future ballplayer was "we can and should be cheating; there are no tangible consequences."

I may be the only white Gen X guy who doesn't like Rush, but Geddy Lee is a cool guy. He donated an incredible collection of baseballs signed by Negro League players to the Baseball Museum in Kansas City!

Vlad vs LA pitching is going to be a treat 3-5 times every game, but I need Springer to go 0-for-the-rest-of-his-life.
