Another longish week, another longish weekend, but here I am... for better or worse.  I feel like I am putting on weight... not sleeping well, not exercising enough, odd blood sugar trends mean I eat more crap... all of these are not good.  Speaking of not good... I guess I am a little surprised that Hill got pulled; to me, after a game when everyone had their pen taxed, getting EVERY out of a starter, especially one pitching well, is just what the MD ordered.  In the meantime, Kenley Jansen is becoming our generation's Armando Benitez.

I think this is largely true, but the Dems make it easy for this happen... just saying, the Democratic party is a bit more left than it was 20 or 30 years ago, and that is fine, but if you are not into that...

I bet the money helps...

I go both ways on this... on the one hand, I find it hard to believe the GOP isn't going to get its ass kicked; on the other, I also think that there are plenty of people who are fine, if not enthused by Trump and they're not exactly picked up by the polling.  We saw it in 2016 and  I think it is still an issue here, but... they are concentrated in states where the GOP has other advantages, if you get the drift.

This was pretty interesting, and the last part... Popes turning in people for molesting kids, to the executioners?  Awesome!
