@ewstats.com Am I right that the Cubs only need to score 83 runs on Tuesday for them to get to 200 runs for September, double the Bears' total?

We have been acculturated over our lifetimes to understand that we are not allowed to have our own year.

Dan Wilson played for the Mariners when they last won the AL West in 2001. Now he manages them

He’s the 3rd individual to play for & then manage sequential division titles for a team, joining:

Craig Counsell MIL (2011 plyr, ‘18 mgr)
Bruce Bochy SD (1984, ‘96)

The Mariners can clinch the AL West today with a win or an Astros’ loss

Here are the starting lineups from September 19, 2001 — the last time they clinched the division ⬇️

Welcome. Plenty of room.

Hi, #educoach and other educator friends:

Here is the latest on my coaching blog. It's about what we mean when we talk about "relationship" in a teacher-student context, especially when the kid is misbehaving. As always, let me know what you think about it.

Relationships
where we, like so many of my dating partners in the 1990s asked me, "define the relationship"

12 for the division w/Houston. 10 for the wild card with Texas.

The dudes never really bothered me except once: last year, I went to the day game when Taylor Swift was playing at Lumen at night. They were harassing the teen/tween girls going to the concert. That was gross. But beyond that, whatever...on my way in, I say to my family "Hey! Jesus guys are here!"

A question for my #educoach friends...

I am thinking of running a "book club" this fall where teachers read articles about AI and education. I've rounded up a few but am looking for more. What articles have you read that would promote good discussion? Thanks in advance.

Hi, #educoach friends. I hope your years are starting well!

Here is the latest on my coaching blog. It's about who I want to embody as I go through the 25/26 school year. I would love to know what you think of it--and who you want to embody this year.
I have a new embodiment!
From a different sport...and it's not even one of my teams!

I have decided it is a song about a terrifying moment for our nation where we were terrified...unsure whether tyranny would win out in the big battle. The next morning, we were delighted to see our fight had not been in vain. Tyranny had been defeated.

I find that a comforting song for this moment.

@ewstats.com can put the Rockies All-Star prediction to bed as TRUE. Michael is on the board!

Aare you sure it was today?

I think it was the Fourth of July...

If y'all like #baseballparks, you might like the latest writing I've done at my ballpark website, paulsballparks.substack.com. I have new pieces on ballparks in Newport, Hartford, Binghamton, Rochester, and Columbus, and an update on Fenway, which I just re-visited. Let me know your thoughts.

Paul talks about his ballpark travels and what he was up to in his life. Years covered are 1980-present: writing is from 2001-present. I've changed a bit, so some of the old stuff is cringey, but I'm ...

Out of all of the professional reading I've done, Kylene Beers' work was the most helpful to my teaching practice. I refer to her often in my #educoach life as well. I've had Beers' work in my brain for 20 years. I never met her and still feel this loss acutely. RIP, brilliant colleague.

Today, we pause to honor the extraordinary life and legacy of Dr. Kylene Beers — a brilliant educator, fearless advocate, and longtime supporter of TCTELA and NCTE. Her work changed how we teach reading and how we see readers.

With gratitude, we carry her light forward. 🕯️

I want my 4 pitch intentional walks back. The autowalk puts a hiccup in the pace. Bring back four wide!

Doing the @fangraphs.com #mlbfanexchange. @mariners.com fan spending a week watching and listening to the @sfgiants.com.

If this is like a foreign exchange program, the broadcasters are host families. I feel like I hit the jackpot with both Krukow and Miller. Easy to love the culture with them.
