@geodork.bsky.social 9:30ish in the morning in Perth, are you watching the game?

It’s still early, but that feels like it might be the ballgame.

Do you want to listen to me yap about the Nats for an hour? Oh yes you do. Mark your calendar, and subscribe to Aaron's podcast (and listen to the back episodes, even the Yankees one).

@internetcontrarian.bsky.social get the wine photo ready

What are you talking about, my hometown had Hoss’s, Ponderosa AND Bonanza

William Contreras: pretty good

Is this... is this an Onion article?

Last repost: Yahoo is not only trying to gamify email, they're doing it to their sports app too. Giving me a fan ranking and a streak based on how often I check on a given team in their app. So, so dumb.

yahoo mail you are getting a little big for your britches

I got my top two! That never happens!

I am once again reminded that the playoffs are sometimes more fun to watch when your team isn’t in them. I would be posting “I am going to hurl” every couple of innings.

If I had nickel for every playoff home run hit off the foul pole in the seventh inning in a stadium named for an orange juice company I'd have two nickles which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

The El-Sayed/Tommy conversation is remarkable, especially (IMO) at the end where AES asks "Do you disavow any attempt to read any religious doctrine into the laws of our country?" and Tommy says no. Yet another case of "It's different when we do it." Kind of wish AES had pressed him on that.

I remember being told in B-school how the market is collectively rational.

If I can't root for the Nats in the playoffs, I always go with teams with long-suffering fan bases. Happy for Brewers fans this morning.

Hey I wonder if Brooks has written anything calling on Trump to BE MORE CIVIL when he calls the Democrats dumb and evil

hey @scsugrad99.bsky.social Which of these is @geodork.bsky.social?

OK so today @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social mentioned Westside Cowboy in his newsletter today, and someone somewhere called out their performance on Jools Holland (weirdly I can't find that comment now). Thanks to whoever did so because this rocks HARD www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOOY...

Has anyone started a repository of Muse horror stories? Because you know those are coming. Cancelled critical doctors appointments, trips rescheduled at a cost of thousands of dollars, personal conversations spammed to people they shouldn’t have been… you have to know you’re risking these and more.

I can't believe it's been 20 years since we lost Buck O'Neil. How do you possibly sum up a life that great?

Hey did you know John Smoltz plays golf? Gosh. Wow.

I don’t usually engage with spam texters/pig butchers, but this was too good to pass up.

@seriousjammage.bsky.social

Gonna get some mileage out of this one, thanks @theonion.com

I would like to see more men talking about how to and peer pressuring each other into calling out misogyny and rape culture. Going against social norms is hard, and it helps to share tips and support.

The Nats were 12-8 in games I attended this year. Not bad. Also the first non-playoff season where I actually made it to 20 games.

The Commanders beat the Seahawks, and that right there is why I don’t bet on sports.

CJ does not make that play. Nasim has his flaws, and may not be back next year, but I have enjoyed watching him this season.

Now on 3-HR watch for Chaparro. Butera will probably platoon-swap him at his first opportunity though.

On the one hand, I still have a lot of beer in the house from the last party we threw. On the other hand, I want to get the altbier that Virginia Beer Company just put out, and I should get an Oktoberfest. And Total Wine is an easy stop going home from the office.
