1. I believe the favorite team remaining at this time is Not The Yankees.

   1. Seems legit.

      1. If only Boston and LA weren't also in the playoffs...

         1. This comment sent me looking up payrolls, and it is truly astounding how little money the Astros have on the Disabled List.

2. I know I initially said Brewers, but they still have Moustakas so I think I'm going to abandon that and root for the Rockies.

   1. I’d be rooting for the Rockies in any case, but I’d find it hard to root for the Brewers anyway — not because of the Brewers’ style of play, but because I find the football mentality dominating Wisconsin’s sports culture to be beyond obnoxious.

      1. You make a convincing argument.

         1. Counterpoint:

            1. I missed that the first time around somehow. That was great.

   2. I'm good with either, though I fully believe that the Brewers will crush the Rockies.

      Is Moustakas some massive d-bag? Or are we Clemenating here?

      1. I just hate him and his stupid face from his Royals days. (Him and Eric Hosmer)

         1. Ah! That works.

            I like Lorenzo Cain, and watching the game the other night made me realize I don't really know of many of the Rockies. On the one hand, that means that I could get to know them and guys like "What's His Face, the catcher who isn't Drew Butera" could become my next favorite out of towner.

            Or...I could watch Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich and some other really good players win the World Series.

            Decisions, decisions.

            1. Maybe this could be the tipping point: Ryan Braun.

               1. Too bad he never got traded to the Dodgers.

            2. Here’s how little I know about the Brewers: I know Christian Yelich is odds on favorite to win NL-MVP, but I have no idea what position he plays.

               Go Rox.

               1. Neither does he. Positions played this year:

                  Position	Games	Innings
                  Pos1	90	596
                  Pos2	75	557.1
                  Pos3	25	115.2

3. Got to bed late last night after a trip to Fargo and back: found out Tuesday night that one of my brothers up from AZ for the wedding this weekend had planned to spend a few days tooling around MN with his wife, but checked into Sanford in Fargo after some health symptoms had them concerned. He has been tentatively diagnosed with (a very treatable form of) leukemia (APL). We decided to make the 2hr drive there and got to spend a couple hours visiting with him (and a neighbor from the farm I grew up near many years ago who was also visiting). He's recently retired, so if he has to remain in Fargo the couple months of treatment, he can, although they also have three kids that aren't out on their own yet, so that complicates things. Also, he's not going to like the turn in weather from his normal AZ this time of year.

   We're going to try stream the wedding to him Saturday, and help out where we can. Kind of a bummer the circumstances; he had had a couple things that should have gotten his attention earlier -- folks, take care of yourselves!

4. Officers will be out in force this weekend handing out FUIs.

   1. that's pretty great

5. Minnesotans who can't hold their liquor wrecking havoc in Gilbert

   1. Hj's link not good enough for ya?

      1. Hey, I was working! Just didn't see it.
