Covering Jamal Khashoggi's murder was one of the most disturbing things I've worked on. Hearing Trump say he was "extremely controversial" and people "didn't like him" is chilling. Hard to take any other way than he thinks there is moral ambiguity in the murder of a journalist.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Zero players with an .800 OPS. 1 pitcher who threw more than 132 innings. 97 wins.

Amazing what you can accomplish when you don’t make bonehead mistakes.
And the Brewers have home field in the NLCS against the Dodgers.

Guess Sal Frelick made a good choice to focus on baseball at BC.
