Yes she was. That was a very funny movie.

Diane was at home in dramas and comedies, remember she played Kay, Michael Corleone's wife, in The Godfather movies. She leaves behind a rich, film history.

And that's it. Took 15 innings but the Mariners will face the Blue Jays in the ALCS. Fun note, both joined the AL as expansion teams in 1977.

Raleigh leading off the bottom of the 13th. If ever was a time for him to blast one, here it is.

It would be interesting to see the Seattle Mariners move on to play the Blue Jays in the ALCS considering that both were AL expansion franchises in 1977.

For the record, I loved the first Tron movie and still occasionally watch it. The arcade game was a lot of fun too. I had high hopes for Tron: Legacy but thought it was a lot of meh. No interest in Tron: Ares. Looks like it was made by people who have a deep love affair with GCI.

So is this the quid pro quo for the Israeli cease fire or for Trump's new Air Force 1? Or maybe it's for naming Pam Bondi as attorney general? This is unthinkable and an abomination under any circumstance!

I'm wondering if the Brewers should just spot the Cubs to a 3-0 lead on Saturday and play on from there.

RIP Sister Jean. She was 106 years old and active to the end. She gained a national following in 2018 when Loyola went to the Final Four. She'll be missed.

Keller in for the eighth. I would guess Kittredge is going to get the ninth. Then a Saturday showdown in Milwaukee!

Tom Pollin @tjpollin.bsky.social · 1d

Rough one for Kelly. He smashed that ball but just foul. Still, Cubs up 5-0 into the eighth.

When's the last time Tucker homered? Picked a great time for it tonight. 5-0 Cubs!

Tom Pollin @tjpollin.bsky.social · 1d

Unbelievable! The Cubs scored a run and it isn't the first inning. Let's keep it going!

And now we'll be subjected to another week of what's wrong with Saquon Barkley, what's the deal between DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown and what's wrong with Jalen Hurts.

The Eagles will give you a first half or a second half, but not both. Doesn't matter who the opponent is.

Suzuki had one job, put the damn ball in play! Could have let that go and walked in a run! Instead, does the worst thing possible and now that promising inning is over!

They got away with it. Taking it inning by inning.

Giants with four possessions in the first half and turn them into three touchdowns. The Eagles have more problems than I thought.

Tom Pollin @tjpollin.bsky.social · 1d

Ian Happ gets in on the first inning fun! Another Cubs three run homer. Team cannot put the bats to bed though.

Tom Pollin @tjpollin.bsky.social · 1d

Anyone seriously thinking that the Giants can cover a 7 point spread tonight against the Eagles. Yes, the Eagles offense has been more dysfunctional this season than a full Kardashian family reunion but the talent is there (unlike with the Kardashians). Philadelphia -7 to win and cover tonight.

Tom Pollin @tjpollin.bsky.social · 2d

It's a long day waiting for the Cubs first pitch tonight. Cubs need baserunners all night and that ace stuff out of Boyd that he showed for most of the year! I've been a fan since 1966 and the excitement is still there!

At this point, I'd take Fergie!

Tom Pollin @tjpollin.bsky.social · 2d

Cubs put an NLDS game into the win column. Still alive for tomorrow night.

Tom Pollin @tjpollin.bsky.social · 2d

The Cubs score four in the first then decide to put the bats away? It's getting very frustrating to watch them try to hit.
