8-22 GT: Sox @ Cubs (7:15pm)
We're due to receive an ass kicking. Each win just adds to how horrible the next loss will be. That feeling of gloom and doom as the clock ticks closer to the start is filling the room. Go Sox!

Thom Brennaman - ouch!
He'll find a spot on a local broadcast after learning his lesson and eventually rebuild his image as he moves to regional and back to national broadcasting.

My wife is in the same situation. I'm at a public school and we are seemingly ahead of most private schools, but we'll see if we stay ahead.

First day of staff development. In some ways I feel like I was drafted. I'm hearing things like WHEN someone has symptoms, WHEN we have a positive test, WHEN you are quarantined.

Seeing the professor live is worth $40k to $50k to you? That must be a five diamond professor.

3-0 pitch and Ricky had him ground out to the pitcher. What an idiot. Why do I waste my time

Still should have been caught, it was well within the skills of at least two of the three players involved.

Yes he does. Bloop single that should have been caught to start the inning, hit batter, wild pitch. Tough to out manage shit performances

Leadoff Man going forward - TA or Robert?
They handle it well but they are always better in practice than in a game winning situation.

Leadoff Man going forward - TA or Robert?
Oh for so many years we had none, now we have two, possibly three. The real beauty here is Lois could go anywhere in the lineup and be the best at that spot. As someone mentioned the manger has an option here to hide a slumping hitter, a luxury that hasn't been available for a while. I know I loved batting 2nd in the order instead of 7th or 8th. I knew I would be seeing a pitch in the first inning and have a chance to contribute right away. I also knew my strengths fit in well to that spot. Low K rate, high walks, excellent bunting, could move a runner, make contact on a hit and run, and absolutely zero power. I'm certain most MLB players have that same feeling you just fit somewhere and expect what is expected from that position.

Which lobby is bigger? The restaurant lobby or the beach lobby? Which one donates more to political campaigns? Which one generates more tax revenue? As Deep Throat famously said "follow the money".

Just a billion dead in a year or two would be significant, it doesn't have to be the end of mankind. Dividing up their stuff will be a challenge.
