My body's at home
But my heart's in the wind
Where the clouds are like headlines
On a new front page sky
And shiver me timbers
I'm a-sailin' away

Well, I would have liked the postseason to last longer for the players’ sakes, but if I’m honest, it’s too stressful for me. These guys were so fun to watch for six months, and I don’t have an unkind thing to say about them.

Agreed. I've always been a fan of their manager- not so much for his decisions but for his heart

Exactly- I just worry with all the gambling these days how guys like him will be vilified. His life will be hard enough...

Tell your friends not to be assholes to a baseball player bc he made a mistake. And to call it out if you see someone doing that.

That kid Kerkering was born in SoCal - feel so damn bad for him - was talking to a buddy of mine who also played baseball and we remembered together how many damn times we panicked and made a bad play... too many to mention...

it's such a difficult game-

On the Central Coast and reminded how much I love the soaring, gliding and diving pelicans.

Perhaps my favorite birds.

Haha - you got it... I was being tongue in cheek - in truth I'd say that Jim Gilliam, in my lifetime, was the best - he could play anywhere too

Much love and solidarity to everyone in RP on such a horrible day. Saw so many people out and about this afternoon, doing whatever they can to keep everyone safe around here.

As y'all have probably heard, there has been a lot of ICE activity on the North Side of Chicago today. At least four people were kidnapped by ICE in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Folks mobilized throughout the day to do ICE Watch and Rapid Response work.
