First Post: Sunday, September 27, 2015

Today’s birthdays: Gwyneth Paltrow, Alphabet (née Google), Simona Halep and, of course, Michael Jack Schmidt.

Sept. 27 always a good date, always around the time the powerhouse Philsz of the mid-1970s and early-1980s would be clinching the old six-team N.L. East. All teams were in the hunt in those days, save for the N.Y. Metropolitansz. Now, the Metropolitansz are top dog and the Philsz aspire to them. Moral: these things always cycle around. Igglesz, Flyersz, Sixersz and even phorlorn Philsz will rise again someday. Maybe. Enjoy your Sept. 27 now.
