One day while walking in Santa Monica, I saw a couple women standing in front of a house chatting. The house had chain link fences protruding out of the top at weird angles. I asked if they kept birds there and they both yelled NO! and got really mad at me. Found out later it was Gehry's house. RIP
Breaking news: Architect Frank Gehry, whose provocatively adventurous buildings helped liberate modernist architecture from its conventions and won him wide admiration, has died at 96.

His unearthly but brilliant designs, from Los Angeles to Bilbao, became global landmarks.

Just posted this last week and now the great Steve Cropper is gone. 😧

Also love that Frank Black had him playing on Honeycomb and Fast Man Raider Man. RIP

I know nothing about this topic, but that's a funny photo to put under "Coming off the Egg Bowl."
Coming off the Egg Bowl, Lane Kiffin said he hasn't decided if he's staying at Ole Miss or leaving.

It would have been so hardcore to have paired Busta up with Quick Draw McGraw.
thanksgiving is a time for people to come together, to celebrate the spirit of unity despite our differences, and to demonstrate that, here is busta rhymes performing "break ya neck" with raphael the ninja turtle

I bought the new Jimi Hendrix Axis: Gold As Love box set, which came out last week and I cannot stop listening to this instrumental track of Castles Made of Sand.

Alt take of One Rainy Wish is sending me, too.

Before he was with the Blue Jays, Hunter Mense was with the Padres organization as the hitting coach for the Tri-City Dust Devils.

Remembering that time I watched Paul DePodesta walk into the press box at Dodger Stadium during a Giants game in July 2004.

Sometimes I get a glimpse of Bo Nix and for an instant I see Bill Romanowski.

I don't care how old this makes me... the guy in the commercial telling the grocery bagger not to put the loaf of bread under the canned goods is 💯 in the right.

Both of these teams are champs, really. This Series is unbelievable.

These commercial breaks are like when the roller-coaster is just climbing up to the first drop of the ride.

Did Roberts tell Wrobleski to hit Kurt Bevacqua?

Strike 'em out, throw 'em out DP is my favorite play in baseball, but that one was pretty unsatisfying.

Great play (and call) in 2023:

Outfielders: Look at how phenomenal Kiké is with his first step. He's already starting to move to the correct spot before the liner has passed the mound.

Maybe Yesavage hasn't pitched enough in MLB to have a good simulation in the Dodgers' Trajekt machine?

Ohtani's only had 6 plate appearances with runners on base in the WS. That ties him for 15th.

This so he can have 22 PA overall? Mookie has 22. Freddie has 21. Edman, Teo, Muncy and Will Smith have 20.

Is 1 or 2 extra IBB worth having him come up with the bases empty all the time? Seems crazy.
get your best player the most at bats possible and he hit better at leadoff than at #2

Brendon Little. Tough spot.
