This is really the story at this point, or should be. "Delusional Trump Imagines a Boarded-Up Portland" should be the headline on every newspaper and website.

So much of good coaching is putting guys in situations where they can succeed.

I will be very happy to never see that Verizon body horror commercial again.

Watching Javier Baez apply a tag remains one of the greatest pleasures in baseball.

They seem to be continually panicking over how to entertain and excite the audience, rather than simply presenting the game as completely as possible.

NOBODY likes those manager interviews, most of all the managers.

The Rockies finished the season 37 games out of fourth place. No other team finished as many as 37 games out of first place.

It was Charlie Blackmon's walk-up song for the entire decade-plus he was with the Rockies. So it may have been some kind of tribute to him.

Kirby Smart looks like he lives in a gated community outside Birmingham and doesn't understand his daughter at all, but still bought her a Mustang for her 16th birthday.

Joe E. Ross' character in "Car 54, Where Are You?," Gunther Toody, pronounces his name to rhyme not with "Doody," but with "Woody."

For some reason I have been thinking today about senator Paul Wellstone's memorial service, which right-wingers derided as a political show rather than a proper, solemn remembrance.

I was at this game (well, most of it), and there were three lightning delays plus one unofficial rain delay. Also, you really need to mention that Washburn is called the "Ichabods."

But this does give us some insight into what God thinks about Republicans' prayers.

"Evergreen" from A Star Is Born. Kristofferson is supposed to be a big rock star in that movie, but his own signature song, "Watch Closely Now," is terrible.

Desktop. I couldn't get in through a web browser, but I downloaded the app and that seems to be working

Thanks, I appreciate the help. But I don't see any way to scroll through the rules, or do anything with them at all. Maybe I'll see y'all next season.

How is anyone getting to the Discord chat? The closest I can come is a screen asking me to agree to the rules - but the only clickable thing on the page is an X to close the window.

These numbers appear to be completely made up. You can't even get a 12-ounce beer at Coors Field; it's tall boys or nothing.
