1. Hey Spooky, these were recently announced. Reminds me - you running Survivor anymore?

   1. Yeah, I continue to run games nonstop, though many more than just Survivor are in the mix these days. I haven’t done a writing season in a while, though. I have a different non-elimination game for writing. It’s time for another one, but the last couple of times people offered to get a season started, it went nowhere.

      1. *cough*

         1. Philosofer gets to cough twice!

            1. I really wish I could right now. Check with me in January?

               1. I will (forget to) do that thing.

               2. I admire your ability to schedule your upper respiratory illnesses.

      2. Only mentioned it cuz I hadn't seen much activity on the spookymilk site. Do you run stuff exclusively on FB now? Or elsewhere?

         1. Mostly Facebook, yeah.

2. The ultimate sibling rivalry.

3. Vlad Jr. with the Matrix slide	SelectShow

   1. Oh man, calling him "Vladito" is perfect.

   2. thanks again, sean, for the video tips. just in case, i added the instructions to the renamed "embedding videos" page in the FAQs if you're ever looking for it.

   3. I love the giant SMILE on the kid's face as he sees the ball get by LF and he starts thinking triple. Simple joys.

4. beau: i don't think you caught this.

   1. I did indeed miss it. Your honesty is appreciated, mostly by meat.

5. Am I the only one to have the thought that Brusdar Graterol sounds like an obscure medical condition and the designer pharmaceutical that treats it?
   "Ask your doctor if your symptoms are a sign you may be suffering from Brusdar, and if Graterol can help..."

   1. Oh, Graterol definitely sponsored a lower-tier variety show on AM radio back in the day.

      1. And here I thought Graterol was on the list of banned substances.

         1. I thought Graterol was high-octane gas...

            1. We'll have to see how it goes with him...take a vote on whether he gets a banner for high-octane performance or hemorrhoid treatment.

               1. stop by tomorrow.

6. Last night was the fifth time the Twins won when scoring 2 or fewer runs. In each game, the winning pitcher was a starter. Odo has won 2 of those. Perez, Berrios and Gibson were the other winners. They are 5-17 when scoring fewer than 3 runs, but only 4 of those losses were by 1 or 2 runs. So Twins rarely losing pitching duels.

7. Car purchase complete. Second dealer was a delight to deal with. Gave me more for my shitbox than it was worth. No haggle. No up sell. No pressure. Better financing. Drove home in less than 2 hours. Man, what a difference a day can make.

   1. Awesome. Glad you had that experience

   2. I’d be tempted to email the salesperson & sales manager, with a CC to the dealership owner — “just following up to let you know” I closed the deal elsewhere because I was treated with respect and got a fair deal.

      1. I beat you to that.

8. So I'm going off the grid tomorrow at 7:00a until late afternoon Thursday. Isle Royale. So for the next 6 games starting tonight I am predicting Sano-Cruz bombas (through 9.12). I should be back ready to predict next Friday.

   I have a quick and easy game log already in place for Tuesday's game. If anyone wants to add to it, they can.

   1. Enjoy the trip. I've got that one on my list but I've never been there.

9. Not sure if I get home from the airport before game start, but I think Eddie's play yesterday has him still pumped -- HR pumped

   Oh...7:10 start, not 6:10

   1. Polanco

      1. Kep and Rosebud

   2. Cruz and Sanó
