1. 'tis the season: the saddest record ever made

   1. Boo. I like the dancing queen and Scandia rock thing where they play 3 keys on the piano.

      I just arrived in Kobenhavn. Early observations at the airport: all the men look like Vikings (bald and tats) and the women are blonde.

      1. Love that city.

         1. Stayin' at Scandic?

            1. Ascot Hotel, not far from Tivoli.

               Wow - still dark when I awoke at 7:30.
               Latitude:
               Hartford - 41 degrees 76 minutes
               Paris - 48 degrees, 85 minutes
               Kobenhavn - 56 degrees, 26 minutes

               Also, two tea bags in my Paris room. Here there were 4 coffee pods (2 coffees, 2 espressos) and a high-tech Lilly machine. I just started my second cup of coffee.

2. I'm told #Yankees have a seven-year, $245 million offer on the table for Gerrit Cole. Would be a record-setting contract for a pitcher, surpassing Greinke’s $34.4 million AAV. Question is whether #Dodgers or #Angels will go to 8-9 or even 10 years.

   That's a lot of money.

   1. Bah, humbug.

3. R. I. P. Rene Auberjonois, a regular on both "Benson" and "Deep Space Nine", at the age of seventy-nine.

   1. 🙁

   2. Was also in Boston Legal. A show that just disappeared after its run although I see it on Hulu and will have to give it a rewatch.

      1. And McLeish on Pound Puppies. That one always pleased me.

   3. Benson was such a great show, and he was excellent in it.

4. Marvin Miller and Ted Simmons in the hall.

   That should help Joe Mauer's case I hope

   1. Well-deserved honors for both of them. The continued dismissal of Lou Whitaker’s elite career is very disappointing.

   2. That was my thought as well. Joe is ahead of Simmons in rWAR, JAWS, and JAWS7.
