Along with a random Met, Yankee & the GOAT, without whom no list is complete, here are “some guys” who have had rules created for them in my 17+yr fantasy league.

From the Mark Appel Conundrum/ Odrisamer Despaigne Dilemma/Leonys Martin Corollary, to getting Jeff Mathis’d (IYKYK), my league rules!

25 years ago today, I went to Italy for the first time.

I felt very Irish until I arrived at the homeland of the other side of my family.

What a ride since…

Someone didn’t take “the pledge”

So… has anyone spoken to Mr. 1.6% on this fine Wednesday?

No?

Good.

Go away now.

Big THIS (the greatest tweet of all time) energy here:

Back at the other place, I started using #PulitzerforBramhall on every post I put up of his clearly award-worthy work. Started that after we made this one a front page. (And I have the original printout of it on my home office wall!)

He's so earned it, as was the case here as well.

Thanks to all my frens for a tremendous weekend at #ACPT!
Congrats to Paolo & all the winners — really everyone who competed. It was my 1st time ever successfully completing a Puzzle 5, & I’ll hang my hat on that, since tourney perfection was thwarted in P7 bc this I should have been an O.
D’oh!

Back from a rough go in Prov, & toasting a team that made me believe again w/ a Red Storm Negroni (I just made that up).
I’m devasted. Mainly for players. They deserved a longer road. But they gave this program & city a helluva fun ride. Thank u for all of it. Raise that BE banner high.

After all the emotions poured into this day and this unreal season, this is the moment… turning around to take one last shot as they finally ask us to leave… and they flash THAT up on the scoreboard and… absolute dagger.

That’s a moment I’ll remember forever.

I’m so happy. Finally. #sjubb

I have done something very weird in life to have so many friends & family reach out & tell me I was the first person they thought of after this loss. Rickey was 1 of a kind. Li’l Richie adored him - mimicked my batting stance, wore 24 - all of it.
RIP GOAT

This works.

Happy 🦃 everyone!

My timing on checking in on this new venue is impeccable!

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

Well who knew it would take 43 years, but the World Series has finally come back to the first page of my book … and I get to wholeheartedly hate the Dodgers AGAIN.

Sorry, man. I was rooting for you.

Now come to the dark side…

Sick!

Something like the past 17 years (not counting ‘20 obv… and about 7 more yrs I wasn’t here before that) I’ve made this short but brutal walk down 32nd St at varying levels of the stages of grief after yet another #sjubb Thursday BET loss.
Holy crap. We finally did it y’all. 🔴⛈️

Today’s mood.

@MTA @NYCTSubway CX notice: The lights are not functional at the 72 St entrance on NE corner of 2/69 and it is very dark walking down. Taken just now.

Happy 30 to this thoroughly bizarre &, for me, engrossing album, that, for some reason, I still listen to in April every year. It’s not for everyone, but it is for me. To wit, I played “Mmm…” for @EricaForNY & she burst out laughing. Couldnt believe it was Top 5 song! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There are so many good signs, but this one wins for me.
