Today’s the first (and possibly only) day with all four Division Series playing. TB at Hou 1100, StL at Atl 1330, Minn at NYY 1600, DC at LA 1830. Yes, it is hard to move on.

The list of players and teams I want to root against dwarfs the list of those I want to root for. I may have some bitterness.
I hate them all.
The only option I feel has an interest for me would be Nats/Stros. It is the last 2 iterations of the Fresno Grizzlies so that would be something I guess.
I’m a little surprised Rudy Giuliani still shows his face at Yankee Stadium. Maybe he’s hoping sitting next to Alan Dershowitz will dilute the public indignation.
They’re gone now, doubtless because Trump was told Rudy was on TV enjoying himself. Now Rudy’s been summoned for some Trump humiliation just because.
Since all these once-powerful Republicans are treated like shit in public by Trump again and again, you’d think that eventually one would flip on him. Hell, maybe it’ll be Rick Perry.
After an hour’s absence Rudy returns having ditched Dershowitz and picked up some muscled jamoke in a jersey who I assume is one of the Proud Boys.
This guy is actually a Wallace Shawn character, right?
LOL

A particularly fine weekend in the premiership … not sure which Manchester’s loss was more gratifying.
Surprisingly entertaining game going on at Spurs Stadium.
Work today is having a “wear your favorite sportsball jersey” day and I actually got to break out a Raiders jersey and not be a complete laughingstock.
I was able to catch some of the united loss on the plane. thanks united.
I’m glad Tanpa is making it a series today. After watching Cole and Verlander dominating games 1 and 2 is hard to imagine the A’s would have fared any better.
What are you guys talking about? Baseball ended last week.
Thanks, and go As.
Now that is some great and unmatched wisdom.
It is hard for me to trust that PG&E can effectively implement a targeted power shut off when they can’t even keep their website up.
What could possibly go wrong?
Will the lab be offline or do you have your own power supply?
There’s limited emergency power, but we’re closed.
Yeah that whole thing sounds like a clusterfk.
it’s like the clusterfks are having clusterfk babies.
Caldecott tunnel too.
It looks like they turned to Twitter to get their outage maps out; for example:
That appears to be unchanged since yesterday. SFgate has a better screenshot of Berkeley/Oakland. Note the same wedge-shaped bit of supposed non-blackout around the main Cal campus. My people tell me they are very skeptical of PGE’s ability to control outages down to the block-specific level those maps suggest.
UC decided to close tomorrow. campus open, but teachers / staff not required to show — paid holiday. UC 911 staff will be fully operational.
So this is just a sneaky way for PG&E to try and give more people Yom Kippur off?
did anybody actually get their power cut off?
i didn’t.
zzzzzp
zzzzzp
zzzzzp zzzzzp zzzzzp
zzzzzp
I didn’t, I don’t expect it. I don’t hink as many people will have it cut off as threatened
Your local media is giving it the full Y2K-hype buildup though.
East Bay areas now scheduled to commence shutoff after noon today (most likely starting between 1 and 3). It will impact at least the East Bay hill areas shown on the basis PGE maps. It could impact wider areas if PGE is inaccurate.
Now changed to 8pm.
Santa Rosa/Sonoma area got cut. Outside of that, no idea.

In other news, the Sharks look awful.
At first it looked like they had aged over the offseason right past their window of contention. But maybe they just needed old Patty Marleau back.
Well this has to suck for Atlanta fans. Which is fine with me.
Very glad we’re won’t have that obscene Chop in the next round.
Braves fans vs. Yadier Molina is a tough call.
I like other playoff-doomed teams to keep suffering, especially when those teams are the Braves. I don’t like the Nats either.
Exhibit A for why it’s bad to have genocide victim’s for a team nickname.
Kershaw is making Manaea feel less bad.
Howie Kendrick, LA’s favorite son.
Lindsay Graham is a really special combination of gullible, mendacious, and malicious.
So Rudy lunched with two henchmen who then immediately tried to flee the country on one-way tickets ahead of indictment for illegally funneling hundreds of thousands from Ukraine to a pro-Trump super Pac staffed by multiple recent Trump officials. But surely there was NO COLLUSION so nothing to see here, right?
It’s incredible how much shady behavior Rudy is able to fit into each day at his age. What’s his productivity secret?
The master at work.
Much has been discussed about how different powerful Republicans adapted to the Trump ascension. The Rubios and Cruzes and Grahams and Sessionses all came to a place where they’d hold their noses and tongues and willingly abase themselves in pursuit of the political ends they always wanted.
And there’s Rudy, who prior to 2016 had always struck me as a power thirsty jerk, but never as stupid. And I wonder, why the different path than Trump’s other enablers?
And now I start to get it. Where the Sessionses (how we hates them) saw the big potential to advance their agendas, Rudy got it in a more intimate NYC framework: The cops are bought, we can’t be touched, here’s my chance to score. As Goldwater might’ve said, Stupidity in Pursuit of Lucre is no vice.
The Swedish Academy reboot is going as well as expected then.
In addition to being cool as hell, Penzeys spices are wonderful.
There is a location about a block from my house and I never go there, but every time I see one of these articles I think I should.
You definitely should. It is a wonderland of seasonings.
Offseason TV watching report: Succession is good.
My wife has been watching and I caught one episode, which was pretty fun.
Apparently not when it comes to wine.
Thank you for this. The “hyper-decanting” thing was hilarious and I was wondering if it was real.
The acting on this show is fantastic across the board, but special shout out to the guy playing Tom Wambsgans, who I only just realized was Mr. Wilcox on the charming BBC/Starz Howards End miniseries. That guy’s got range.
Well done by Doo
Him and kurt make me root for them
Good pitchers duel in Houston.
I keep forgetting I am rooting for the yankees
Maybe I can root for the astros so the the yankees sign cole
Apparently Bruce Maxwell totally crushed this season and, with old friend Chris Carter, helped lead the Acereros de Monclova to the Mexican League title.
a little rosterbaiting
Big issue is the log jam of meh at second. nobody to get excited about, nobody that you really want to move at a price that they will move for.
There’s a risk of getting Laureanoed on a trade of Barreto or Mateo, but it has to be done with at least one of them.
Also, no way in hell I’m exposing Heim or Charles to Rule 5.
The Nationals have clearly figured out that scoring a FK-ton of runs in the first inning of a decider is a good strategy.
Man, the Cardinals have managed to not show up in every phase this LCS. Their starters, relievers, hitters especially, all completely missing. I gotta think their hotel rooms also front on the 7 AM alley garbage pickup and the greenies got delivered to Washington State. Five-tool failure to be sure.
The USA men are about to lose a competitive soccer match to Canada. Dark times for this nation.
Oh, this is pathetic.
you were watching the debate, huh?
and yes, canada probably did win.
I mean, if the team has sucked and gone down hill for this long, maybe it’s Jay’s boss that should be firing Jay.
As predicted, the Angels are hiring Scioscia-with-hipster-glasses.
I wonder if one of Joe’s stipulations was that over the winter they have to offload Pujols. He was reasonably healthy this year and bad but not Chris Davis bad, so maybe they could dump him on a National League team as a pinch-hitter and occasional first baseman, with the Angels eating perhaps 90% of the remaining contract.
If the Phillies hire Dusty Baker it’ll tweak the charm quark and we’ll all be singularitied.
This is so messed up.
The guy has just absolutely no sense of right and wrong or empathy. The shear megalomania and ego involved in all that he does just boggles the mind. To have access to the kind of wealth and power makes him so insanely dangerous.
Meanwhile, today he is standing in front of the world and bragging about having facilitated Turkey’s ethnic cleansing of Syrian Kurds. The amount of damage he can do to the world every day that he is allowed to stay in office is terrifying. And he’s getting worse, the more cornered he is.
i honestly can’t tell between dementia and/or trolling.
even if it’s 100%/0% in either direction, i can’t tell.
because i’m not ascribing his tweets to actually his.
but even if they are…
yesterday i woke up at 330 and just decided it wasn’t worth trying to get back to sleep, so started my day.
i believe i went to bed at 9.
i have no recollection at all of writing the above.
obviously, i was projecting about the dementia.
Plaintiff noticed his refills were not unlimited after attempting to quench his thirst and refill his cup again.
For that amount of money I’d damned well better be able to get all the 16 oz. refills I can drink. Especially in Florida in July.
As stupid as the lawsuit is, it’s also remarkably stupid to have such a limit too. And that price. Holy shit. Unless you’re able to drink that shit all day, no souvenir cup is worth that amount. And the “reactivation” fee.
I’m sure if the limit didn’t exist, people would quickly have a bucket brigade going to fill dozens of non-RFID equipped drinking vessels with sweet, sweet cola.
But yeah, it’s stupid all the way down.
I seriously doubt that. And if someone tried to pull that off, you likely have employees around who would notice. And when they sue, I’m sure that will be an embarrassing suit for the person who thought they could pull it off.
did i read this because someone here linked it? its long. Sad. But I think a better model for free refills
How do I become an expert in this case? Is 2-3 sodas a day enough?
I find it hilarious that Harden and Westbrook FSU’d to the front row just in time to be on camera as the Stros choked.
I hadn’t been to a Cal game yet this year so with the cancellation/refund from the Division Series in my pocket I thought today’s game would be a good choice. Surely even Cal’s putrid offense could put up enough points against the crappy Beavers defense to win.
It was Homecoming so there were a lot of Old Blues of my generation in the immediate vicinity. Some of them are even more sarcastic and bitter than I am.
Halfway through the head coach’s third season there’s no blaming any problems on empty cupboards left by the previous coach. Wilcox is a defense guy to be sure but he owns the mess that is that offense as well.
It is stunning that even a Trump/Barr lawyer would give this answer.
