Fuck cancer.

But nobody’s counting, right? 😛

Dodgers release Trevor Bauer. About time.

I didn’t have that on my FA bingo card…😶

Notification I just got: ”Giants sign OF…” Me: Oh shit! ”Mitch Haniger…” Me: Whew! *Waits for heart to descend from throat*

I just finished Father Wants Us Dead, about the John List case. It includes interviews with surviving family members, friends of the kids, and law-enforcement officers and attorneys.

Yes, and I also have the “Christmas With The Kranks” movie(which I’ve never got around to watching). Believe me, there’s been times I wished I could skip the whole thing!

Judge named one of People magazine’s Sexiest Men Alive They do know he’s married, right? 😛

Did anyone catch Bob Costas’s blunder yesterday? ”The Yankees haven’t been to the World Series since 2009, and haven’t won since Joe Torre’s three-peat.” Me: WTaF? commercial break Costas: “Before my phone blows up, I do know that the Yankees won the World Series in 2009. I was there.” 🤦🏼‍♀️

As the widow of a Mets fan, I agree. What a weird schedule for the Yankees: game last night, off tonight, game tomorrow, off Friday, and games Saturday through Monday if necessary.

What about Waino, is he coming back?

Supposedly, Carlos’s contract only covered a limited number of games(although he was in the studio for at least one pre/postgame afterwards).

Yep, she always takes the High Holidays off. Former pitcher Jeff Nelson is filling in for her.

HE DID IT! 👨‍⚖️

I remember going to my town’s(now long-closed)one-screen movie theater to watch Coal Miner’s Daughter, especially the scene where the kids all get new shoes from the mail-order catalog, and seeing the baby and thinking “That’s got to be Crystal Gayle.” RIP, Loretta.

Seeing as Seth is a Red Sox fan(TIL!), I was glad to see him give Aaron Judge a pass on “Ya Burnt!”

Judge gave the ball to his mom. D’awww…

Maybe clinching the division(which I know is more important to Judge anyway)will ease the pressure a bit.

In Tom Jones’s “Green, Green Grass of Home,” I did realize until fairly recently that when he wakes up from his dream, it’s the morning of his execution(I could never decipher the line “There’s a guard and there’s a sad old padre”). I knew he was in prison, but I assumed he was serving a life sentence.

Claimed off waivers by the Pirates today.

They DFA’d Andújar. 😟

I’m single, but I’m also old enough to be his mom.(Does that make me a cougar?)

Derek Jeter has three daughters now? When did that happen?

Seen on FB(paraphrased): ”Aaron Judge will not take BP before(today’s)game; he will visit a chiropractor because he’s carrying 39 people on his back.”

As a kid, I decided I didn’t like the Allman Bros. Band’s “Ramblin’ Man” because my mom liked it(there was a time when liking the same songs she did was decidedly Not Cool). Of course, now I love it.
