Oh, and my daughter took me to a local Peruvian restaurant for brunch, which was just terrific.

Tibbs looks like the most interesting piece of the trade in kind of the same way the fries are the most interesting part of a Big Mac value meal.

I'm looking really hard at this trying to find evidence of four-dimensional chess but I'm really not seeing anything but a salary dump at this point. The timing, the story that they didn't shop him...none of it makes sense.

The replies could practically be a block list on their own.

Also, I was absolutely *delighted* at the number of American flags at the protest. We need to reclaim our flag as true patriots.

I was just going to add: On the gripping hand, Cora seems to have developed an absolute talent for making the wrong choice in these situations this year.

On the one hand: everybody is dealing until they're not.
On the other hand: You're up 4-0, give the kid a chance to show you something.

Me: <tells wife about this>
Wife: <rolls eyes> and who picked that?
Me: Either the stupidest or the bravest motherfucker you ever met.

Changed plans, went to the Albany event instead. Folks lined up down three miles of a semi-suburban road.

Trump and his Führungsriege have been openly promoting political vigilante violence against elected lawmakers and judges for years.
This has escalated recently into officially-sanctioned violence against lawmakers by armed agents of the state secret police, as seen in New Jersey and Los Angeles.

Just dropped in quickly before going to a #NoKings protest in Saratoga Springs. I hope you’re going to one near you.

Heard on the #RedSox radio broadcast tonight explaining a bad call: “the catcher moved too much, probably confusing the ump.” Come on, it’s 2025. We shouldn’t have to put up with that.

He wants to grow up to be Earl Weaver?

Possibly prudent but not allowed under 25A. That doesn’t remove the President from office and the VP only becomes “Acting President”. Why? Because the President could potentially recover from the disability and be reinstated.

25th Amendment requires *the save number* Senators to vote for permanent removal from power (and not from office) as to convict on impeachment.
It’s 2/3 of both houses to remove under 25A, only half of 1 and 2/3 of the other to impeach/convict.
It’s not a short cut.

He got it, though. 97 pitches. Terrific night for Buehler.

Here’s the start of the swing that ended the bottom of the 6th.

Right after the third bloop/weak hit of the game vs. Buehler. #RedSox

Rafaela didn’t have a big lead on that one but stole it easily. #RedSox

Duran was limping slightly coming off the field after that last swing.

My favorite stat of the game at the moment is 51 pitches through 4 with 1 run allowed.
