Ironically, the ghost runner only exists during the playoffs because nobody can see a runner at second to start the inning.

We’ve all joked that the Cubs winning the World Series in 2016 opened a vortex to Trump, but have we considered that the Astros missing the playoffs for the first time since 2016 might close it? Much to consider.

On the west coast, that's pretty much a "no" across the board. Wawa is safe and pretty good. But when I was travelling to Mississippi fairly often, I got to know some incredible barbeque and fried chicken spots in local gas stations.
Y’all be eating hot food from the gas station?
