9 outs away.
I’m not upset - or even surprised - that the Ms lost games 6 and 7 of the ALCS. I’m upset by the brief window after Cal’s HR and Woo shutting down the heart of the Toronto lineup, when I actually started to think Ms were going to the World Series.

PHILLY
I stepped out to walk across Philly last night and get a sense of things. City Hall always captures me here, Philadelphia has maintained its European layout and much of its early architecture.

Remember when Republicans said Hunter Biden having a board seat he maybe wasn’t very qualified for made Joe Biden corrupt and unfit to hold office?
Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

I'm a professional researcher myself, and what I can tell you is that asking "should the US deport those who are in the country illegally" (which got majority support in this poll) is a completely useless question that won't reflect public opinion accurately regarding the Trump/Miller regime.

Write-up here. The poll is something advocates should absolutely be thinking about as they craft messages and work to educate the public on what is happening in this moment. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/u...

Vlad Jr. had a huge night. 2-4 with a HR, 2 Runs, 2 RBI. Then pulled a Moonlight Graham - saving a life by performing CPR on an invisible fan who nearly asphyxiated after choking on a hot dog.
