Man, there’ve been two postseason béisbol games so far, and they’ve both been fantastic examples of why the playoffs make for fine viewing: good, tight starting pitching; neck-and-neck scoring all the way to the late innings; last-gasp, final-swing heroics; you name it. It feels like when you have two high-class frontrunners going out to the lead and dueling all the way around in a horserace.

Tardy horseys bring about a career-change: hawking frozen confectionaries. Yeah! No. Hahahahaha. Just kidding. For now, at least. ’grats to the Bright Young Things at Gresescent Ice Cream, certainly, though, on their Grand Opening yesterday. Good work. Continue reading →

One of the major candidates, you know the one, at least was able to remember the name of that Dear Leader in Rus’. On the other hoof, the flustered guy in this video here could probably rattle off half a dozen varietals of Mother Nature (‘we have THE BEST Mother Nature!’), surely. Smoke if you got ’em!
