We're grateful for one more day of baseball (summer, really), but we're already mourning the end of the season.
Perhaps this doubleheader from Ron Shelton will help ease us into winter.

I wrote a piece on the work of writer and director James Gunn, who is engaged in a pretty incredible ongoing enterprise that despises bigotry and authoritarianism and reaffirms patriotism for progressives. www.vulture.com/article/jame...
James Gunn’s American Project
He is few critics’ idea of a respectable auteur, but his work is more consistently progressive than any other comic-book material today.
