  1. I tried to log in to my work laptop this morning and found it to be encrypted with BitLocker and I have no idea how or why. Our site's IT guy is on PTO, so it looks like I get a free day off.

  2. Jayson Stark had the same question as you Rhu_Ru and since pitch tracking began in 1988, there have been six games to have a first and last pitch homer. Here are the other five:

    When First Person Last Person
    1990-09-13 Eric Yelding Barry Larkin
    2004-07-21 Mark Kotsay Bucky Jacobsen
    2007-06-19 Akinori Iwamura Chris Young
    2009-08-25 Jimmy Rollins Andrew McCutchen
    2018-04-03 Dexter Fowler Ryan Braun

    The 2018 game started with back-to-back home runs and ended on back-to-back home runs. The final home run was on the first pitch so Dominic Leone gave up a tying home run and the very next pitch lost the game.

  3. For those who like to watch but don't Bally, the Wolves are on ESPN tonight at 8:00 and the Twins will be on the CW23 (WUCW). The Wild are on ESPN+ at 7:00 but that requires a subscription.

    1. Like an ESPN+/Disney-bundle subscription, or separate provider altogether subscription?

      1. They are on ESPN. Don't know how that translate to an ESPN+ subscription (I usually have to provide a cable login to watch ESPN stuff online)

      1. What are the odds he never plays again? I know I'd be pissed if the Twins signed him after the suspension.

  4. Mrs Runner and I were updating finances in Quicken after work today, and while I was leaning on the bookcase next to me that it felt like an earthquake, even swore I heard a little rumble. Sure enough, local news tonight confirmed it was a shallow 2.8 south of St. Louis -- those years in Los Angeles paid off

  5. Embiid got this injury with the 76ers up by 29 with 4 minutes left in the game.

    1. In 2014 I fractured my orbital, and likely suffered a mild concussion, playing beer league softball. This year I developed a fistula between my sinus and my eyeball. Turns out that when you need to evacuate snot out your nose and you have an unnatural pathway the snot will flow from your eyeball. Says the specialist, "how much can you stand". Me, "enough not to see the knife". We were down by at least 4 in the bottom of the 7th.

      1. In high school the player would raise their hand (most of the time) when a foul is called on them. Then again, they couldn't take two steps without dribbling like now, too.

  6. I'm used to the KAT and ANT being reffed differently, but compare it to the way Ja Morant is reffed s reallllllly something. And I like Ja!

    1. I like Ja too, but damn, it sure seemed like the refs decided that they could really speed up the season by ending the only series that was still going on.

      The Timberwolves dominated this series. It’s unbelievable that they didn’t reach game seven, let alone win the series.
