You had one job, Dodgers, and you failed. So now we can all return to hating you. F the Dodgers. The Dbacks' path is narrow, but it's simple. Ph the Phillies. #RaysUp! (And congrats @themiddleseatview.bsky.social, you're in. Only other race that matter is in the dismal AL West.)
Ok, people. Marlins didn't listen, Cubs win, they don't matter anymore. Dbacks are up 10 right now, so let's focus all that energy on rooting for the Brewers and -- sorry, I know this makes us sick -- the Dodgers
Alright everyone, today is a "no work" kind of day. There is too much important baseball to be played on getaway day. For those who aren't clear: *Root for the Marlins at 1120am PT *Root for the Dbacks at 1210pm PT *Root for the Brewers at 305pm PT *Root for the Dodgers at 710pm PT

This is the kind of stuff that makes all the work pay off. Every year, getting to be with the same people... it's a family reunion that keeps growing.
Another @crankyflier.com Dorkfest in the books. I could tell you about the airplanes, the giveaways and the massive crowds. But instead I want to appreciate that Brett has created a space for me to hang out with my dorky friends & just do what makes us happy. That is pretty darn special - & needed.
