What a great day of watching baseball! Two barn-burners, crazy fu!

Proud moment: while cooking fried rice for dinner, I responded to a question from my daughter (now 9 1/2) about what I was making with “Mmmm, unexplained bacon.”

Without missing a beat she replied, “Mmmm, floor pie.”

We understand each other.

getting PTSD every time the WBC broadcast puts the camera on Ned Colletti. If he signs Juan Pierre and Brandon League, don't say I didn't warn you.

My point is that it's absolutely not worth interrupting an MLB season if the end result is elevating Team USA's jingoistic hardos on the world stage.

What an absolutely joyless bunch and a sad way to squander the amazing joy and energy of the World Baseball Classic.

This team can piss up a rope, and are ample evidence that MLB players should be kept from participating in the Olympics. FOH with this vibe.

Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.

I saw them at Providence's In Your Ear — where James McNew worked prior to joining them — four weeks after that Rhino show. The bootleg found its way to me almost 30 years later. youtube.com/watch?v=fsXq... (the unidentified song is "Junk" by Christmas, which included McNew)

Mexico wins with 7: Italy must get to 1 out in the bottom of the 13th or later.

8, 0 outs in the 15th
9, 2 outs in the 16th
