LOL at including teams 3 and 4 games under .500 in the "in the hunt" column.

Went outside about an hour ago and the wind came through and tossed my Blackstone cart. Broke off the lid handle and bent the lid pretty bad.

Great start to Thanksgiving!

Just reading a list of "Thanksgiving foods that are toxic to dogs" and this is one of the items listed:

Mushrooms that are also toxic to humans

Ummmm why would anyone have those at Thanksgiving dinner? Or are you publishing this for the readers who plan to use them against those they don't like?

This feels like an overreaction....

Folks, it's bread day. Two loaves in the oven right now.

Looking to add some cookbooks to my collection.

I definitely want a good Mexican cookbook, so please recommend one or three.

I am not a dessert person, so I don't need/want any cookbooks that focus on that.

Tell me what I need.

Over at Redleg Nation I wrote about some prospects who went from the Dominican Summer League to the Australian Winter League and are playing very well so far.

This is true. In 2011 I started a "scouting database" at the site for $4.00 per month. A few years later that transitioned into the current form. I've never raised the price. In nearly 15 years.
And unlike wasting your money on Disney+, Doug doesn't raise his price twice a year.

Waking up at 8am is always a mistake. Logging on this specific morning at 8am was a bigger one. My goodness.

Gonna go watch some cooking videos on the youtubes to cleanse my soul.

There are still games going on, but as things currently stand only one team in the Dominican Winter League has a winning record. When the day began only one team was even above .500. Aguilas is now 18-3. The other five teams have between 8 and 11 wins and are .500 or worse.

I just went through my freezer to get stock of what I have in there, what I need to be sure to use soon, etc. But I also organized all of my tomato juice/soup stock and my tomato sauce. I have 40 lbs of it all in there.

Gonna need to start eating a lot more of it.

Really thinking about all of that food I'm gonna be eating on Thursday.
