All year when they had guys at 2nd with 0 out or 3rd with one out they could make the right contact to move them over and move them in. Not in the last two games though. I told my wife not getting add on runs might bite them. They had chances.

It would take around 1.1 million acres of solar panels to (clean) power the world. That's less than a quarter of the number of acres devoted globally to golf courses. You can see where this is going, right...?
04.10.2025 23:28 β π 780 π 239 π¬ 34 π 10Nice job, Ben. Watching that first few innings for Gausman though, I couldn't help but wonder if he was tipping pitches with how the Rays were able to not chase, even their less experienced players. Would the Jays have video staff look at that? If he did, we know the Yankees would find it.
29.09.2025 02:54 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Do you think if Cootes stays up for nine games Raty could have some time to work on his game with the skills coach and play every second or third game? If he gets close to where he was last year, it would be time to send Cootes back to Seattle.
29.09.2025 02:49 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Kind of fitting that a player like Eric Lauer is going to finish this #BlueJays regular season. It's indicative of the year they have had.
28.09.2025 22:06 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Great. I have an E-ARC that I started last night. My lit circle group enjoyed Book 1 last year. I let one of them try the e-ARC a couple weeks ago. I thought he was previewing it, but then he just finished it. He was a very happy guy.

26.09.2025 03:49 β π 5 π 2 π¬ 2 π 0I know...right. I am reading one too, and I am really liking it but it feels too familiar. I am not a librarian anymore, but teach grade 6/7. I am not seeing many kids sell books with this plot point to other kids. Do you? The very well written books like these are sitting on the shelves of my room.

Still my favorite explanation of the difference between INT and WIS: int is knowing that Frankenstein is the name of the doctor.
Wis is knowing that Frankenstein was, in fact, the monster

23.08.2025 17:55 β π 80 π 10 π¬ 1 π 1Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.
