because this was an advance screening, there was a brief video intro with the director (Kevin Lewis) plus actors Rachel Bilson, Arden Myrin, and Olivia Allen. The movie sound was fine, but the 5-minute pre-video was at a volume level where even Dodger Stadium would say it was way too loud

watching cbs you see commercials for shows you've never heard of but get 20 billion viewers per week. watching fox you see some iteration of ken jeong is a key part of an unwatchable game show

I have no opinion on paze the product, but their commercial having (elizabeth) banks and (gabrielle) union in the ad to make a "banks and unions" reference is a plus for me

The Brewers took like two months to use any lineup a second time this year, and finished with 146 distinct lineups in 162 games. Now, they're using the same one three times in a row to start the World Series—and it wasn't one of the 146 they used before.

The Dodgers today mourn Ross Newhan, the Hall of Fame sportswriter, who passed away this morning at the age of 89. We send our condolences to his wife Connie and their friends and family.

Some off-day grist for you: The Rays and Brewers can compete on the cheap because they're incredibly good at taking mediocre big leaguers and making them good. I spoke to some of the beneficiaries to get a sense of what it's like to get developed by the World Series combatants.
