Empty waiting room...at least 20 chairs...some woman comes in and takes the seat right next to me.

I'm hoping she's reading what I'm typing right now...

It's tough going through later life when you look like a stereotypical MAGAt. I get it. Aged, fat, white hair, golfer, maybe even the mustache. But my first pres hopeful was Humphrey in '68. I was seven and have been blue ever since.

I'm a stealth snowflake.

in 2023 Blake Snell had the lowest ERA by a starter in the majors and won his second Cy Young Award at age 30. the league reacted by not offering him a reasonable contract for five months until he finally signed a one-year-guaranteed deal in March 2024. anyone at all could have signed him long-term.

50 years ago today in the bottom of the 10th inning Ed Armbrister attempts a sacrifice bunt and bounces the ball in front of the plate, he and Red Sox Catcher Carlton Fisk collide and Fisk air mails the ball into CF. No interference is called and the Sox lose the game on a base hit by Joe Morgan.

Remember back when kids used to bury their snotty-nosed faces into a bucket of water trying to bite an apple?

Now they use hand sanitizer if they look at a door knob wrong.

The Bills have waived LB Jimmy Ciarlo from the 53-man roster. This, along with the move to put DT T.J. Sanders and S Damar Hamlin on IR, now has the Bills at 50 of 53 spots filled. Two are obviously for DE Michael Hoecht/DT Larry Ogunjobi by October 20. That makes room for one other move by Week 8.
