Seattle legend (and Mariner for 3 games) Stuart Fairchild with a grand slam for Taiwan vs. Czechia.

Tiguere for me.

A male howler monkey on a thick gauge wire rope. His back has lighter brown fur while his legs, face and chest are darker. His mouth is open and his left paw is in front of his face; his right paw grips the wire.

The father monkey was a better photo. I like it, and can’t quite believe I got to be there. (Costa Rica)

A baby howler monkey clings to its mother. Both have light reddish/brown fur on their backs and very dark legs. The baby is looking at the camera while the mother keeps her eyes forward, moving right to left.

Not a great shot, but I like this mom and baby howler monkey.

As a kid I learned that my Mariner favorites would play no part in the postseason, but the trade of Owen/Hendu was revelatory. Henderson’s iconic home run was iconic image, but Spike was great in the ALCS and WS that year. More importantly (debatable), he played SS at the first M’s game I went to.

That wins. Maybe Joe Singlett, or Kristopher Negroni, or Garth Iorgy? Thong still the leader in the clubhouse.

*didn’t

I still can’t quite believe the Hippos don’t get back together because the singer was too busy producing Madonna, U2, Adele, and Charli XCX.

When the groom, like you, is a tater, and you *know* there are some pappy van winkle or obscure Weller tastings going on… what are you going to think when you see a hastily erected screened off area?
You get in there. You are the man in the arena.

Nooooooooo.
I have made gumbo and understand how that could happen, but also a restaurant can’t let that happen.

Yeah, hadn’t seen that until you pointed it out. Stunned how wrong we all were in the crowd re: what they were even looking at.

I like that. They can poison the well with commentary before ref goes to the monitor, but good call. Still striking that this all stemmed from Pro getting the rules wrong. Once the VAR opined that the injured player played Dotson on side, that was it. They called a foul on a result, not an action.

What about Henry Wingo?

My dog on a moss-covered log. The dog is mostly black with a white chest and white on her nose. There are coniferous trees in the background and leaf litter on the log.

Operation sorry not sorry (attach gif)

What in the world?
Ok…how is it?

He did Mariners tv games in the early 90s. He was awesome, but I think the booth didn’t quite know how to use him. Still remember Levine’s Law (a leadoff walk always comes around to score, unless it doesn’t) and a Kingdome fan zone named after it: Levine’s Lawft.

A total lunar eclipse will turn the moon blood red on Tuesday across several continents A blood-red moon will soon grace the skies for a total lunar eclipse. There won’t be another until late 2028.

Why? The AFCHawks were great in the 80s. The 90s were rough, no doubt, but those good 80s teams were a beacon of hope for those of us who loved the Seattle Mariners of the same era.

My youngest listens to a few songs of theirs *all the time*. I’m baffled. I don’t know what videos those songs played over, but apparently they worked. I don’t get it, but I’m old.

Home after a very wet Sounders season opener. Just a weird, disjointed first half with the injuries, lots of VARing, and 12 min. of extra time, but the Sounders looked dominant for much of the game and got a win. I’ll take it. Hope the news on Morris is unexpectedly good.

Right? They were the faces of the four nations tournament team, and came up a bit short. The Olympic team is the Hughes brothers’ squad.

That’s *right*

The Indian food in Glasgow is so, so good. Like you, I’m a little wary of the naan being overbaked, but I trust Glaswegian Indian chefs.

Whhhhoooooaaaahhhh.
What on earth?

I think it’s probably objectively correct, but I could be talked out of it. The Sherman thing, not the Darnold thing.

And Tez is too low. It doesn’t matter - it’s meaningless - but someone is *wrong* on the internet, Chris.

Just great Olympic hockey today. One blowout in four games, three go to OT. Canada/Czechia probably the game of the Olympics thus far, but US/Sweden wasn’t far back.

Yeah, you could just keep calling him “the asset.”
“The asset is asking for access to the back yard”
“Can you go pick up the asset’s ‘intel drop’?
Whenever it’s time to leave the dog park: “the asset needs extraction.”

Black and white dog eyes something intently. Her right paw is raised, so it looks like she’s grabbing for it. She is attempting to shake hands in return fo whatever it is.

I….want that….
