- Really shook up after that Oswaldo injury. I feel like more than any other sport, the guys on your baseball team are in your life essentially daily for over half the year, and Waldo is such an easy guy to root for. Really hoping it's not as catastrophic as it seemed, but I'm not watching the replay.
- I knew Expedition 33 was very French, but I didn't know it was "within the first hour you will fight a large mime and your reward will be a cosmetic where your character wears a beret and striped shirt and you have a baguette strapped to your back" French
- The highest priest of 1.4 billion with a b people made a speech. How can we make this about us instead?

- Agreed; I'm born and raised Irish/Italian New York Catholic but have been areligious for a long time. My initial reading was more that there are a lot of people creating problems for others who have no true core ethical beliefs, only the team sports that American capitalist Christianity has become
- What a change of tone from the NYT's original "yeah it's successful but y'know when you consider the marketing spend..." bs they started with
- Based on this bar it appears that the city of Los Angeles rides incredibly hard for the Knicks
- If this is NOT the Silver Lake 33 Taps I'd be very interested in knowing where it is. I love watching games there but it's a schlep from where I am
- Your daily reminder that the U.S. Postal SERVICE is a service that is designed to benefit taxpayers and not a business that should be expected to turn a profit.
- The funniest thing about this is you know no one who is talking about profitability would be willing to solve it in the most straightforward capitalist way. "The USPS is losing money!" "OK, sounds like stamps should be $3 then" "no, not like that! The unemployment way!"
- And to be clear, I don't think stamps should be more expensive! But it you're opining about profitability and not suggesting raising prices, you're giving the game away that you want to replace the USPS with your for-profit buddies who can funnel money back to you
- As a Yankees fan on the West Coast and also a longtime Martian stan, I am very much enjoying tonight
