My closed-captioning is stuck and I’m crying 🤣
Screencap of the Shohei Ohtani New Balance commercial and it appears that he is laughing maniacally while saying “I have a gun!” Spencer Steer holding both hands up and saying “I have a gun!” Stuart Fairchild whispering to 1B coach Colin Cowgill, “I have a gun!” Amed Rosario dancing and saying “I have a gun!”

In this Ohio town, it was tradition: Latin mass, eggs and bacon at Bob Evans, and then down to the old billionaire pedophile's compound to spend extended time with one of his sex trafficking victims. But now the woke mob wants to take all of that away.

A friend of mine wrote the story that inspired Bonnie Raitt’s “I can’t make you love me.”

According to Bob Nightengale, the Mets lost $350 million last year, but they will still acquire one or two front-line starters this offseason.

And, echoing what Pat Ragazzo wrote Saturday, Pete Alonso is a goner unless he signs a "deal they can't turn down."

www.usatoday.com/story/sports...
MLB has privately told owners that teams lost $1.8 billion last year, led by the New York Mets with about $350 million in losses but, of course, that’s paper money. It doesn’t reveal the financial growth in franchise value, record revenues, or that their owner is worth $21 billion. New York Mets: They embarrassed themselves by having the biggest payroll and failed to make the playoffs. And owner Steve Cohen hates to be embarrassed. They’ll come up with one, if not two front-line starters 5. Does Pete Alonso finally find a permanent home with the Mets? Nope. David Stearns, Mets president of baseball operations, was ready to let Alonso walk last year. Alonso had a monster year but they still missed the playoffs, making it easier to walk away now. They are preaching defense or in the words of Stearns, “run prevention," and are expected to let him depart unless he signs a deal they can’t turn down. GMs are predicting the perfect landing spot for Alonso must may be the Red Sox.

On this eve of fifty Novembers
the winds still howl
the bell still tolls.

My breath turns heavy
as we drift into the long cold night.
The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.

I harbor their echoes
and cradle her steel.

My waves bear the sorrow
of all I have taken.

Okay, last harvest for real this time. Salad greens from a late planting and the tomatillos that won’t stop and ridiculously tiny radishes. 🌱
Harvest basket full of lettuce, tomatillos, and there’s only one visible radish, but trust me, you aren’t missing anything.

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.

It’s always a good morning for a James McMurtry song
"Cheney's Toy" Another unknown soldier Another lesson learned Kick the gas can over Strike a match get back and watch that sucker burn Keep smiling for the camera Keep waving to the crowd Don't let up for an instant Stay the course and make your mama proud [Chorus 1:] You're the man Show'em what you're made of You're no longer daddy's boy You're the man That they're all afraid of But you're only Cheney's toy Another unknown soldier Who's seen it all before All in the name of Jesus Behind the razor wire and shackled to the floor Just keep smiling at the cameras And keep that twinkle in your eye We don't need to know the answers Long as we're safe, just hit your marks and say your lines [Chorus 2:] You're the man Show 'em what you're made of You're no longer daddy's boy Take a stand Give 'em what they paid for 'Cause you're only Cheney's toy
