This stupid game. I've invested over thirty years in watching it and there's always something new.

Had a good run.

Hoping for a good series without having it stolen by something like umpires, but there it is. Crippling.

Ominous start with that call.

at least the Sabres are getting this year's 13-games losing streak out of the way while baseball is still going on

It's been a quiet day, unproductively so, so: at least we seem to have survived another round of RIFs.

Just saw a response to a post "well Santander got half of their hits yesterday" and buddy, that says a lot more about yesterday than it does about Santander

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
