1. Game time Zoom today, or wait for the postseason?

   1. I vote wait. I expect increased turnout for Tuesday's game.

      1. I won't be available for Tuesday's lovefest

2. Did I go through and figure out all the possible seeding outcomes for today's games?

   6 games today that affect seeding in the AL. (64 possible outcomes)

   There are 12 possible configurations of the 1-8 seeds.

   Ordered from most possible outcomes (out of 64) to least:

      1. *impressed whistle*

      2. I thought Twins clinched home field for first round yesterday? Thats what I read everywhere

         1. All the matchups are in 1-8, 2-7, 3-6, 4-5 order.

            The Twins are 2, 3, or 4 in all scenarios.

            1. Got it!

      3. Dick was just lamenting that you'd need a mathematician to figure this out. Turns out a chemists are mathematicians.

3. heh. 0-3.

   1. And yet we’re number 1

4. And games 1 and 2 are both during a bunch of work meetings I cant reschedule. Sigh

5. Game 1 is on ABC...network tv...during the daytime... is this the year 1987?

   1. Oooh, that means I can watch it from the non-cable tv in my home office work space! I love 1987.

6. It's not meat-level, but it's red beans and rice.
   

   1. The main flaw is I didn't have any long grain rice.

      1. no, the main flaw is the beans.

         1. I hate to be that guy, but yeah.

            1. Heh. I once was that guy.

               1. We can all grow and learn.
