Big game tonight. A house divided. My wife is from Milwaukee and a Brewers fan. I grew up in Illinois and am a Cubs fan. We live in the Twin Cities and don't want our 4 month old daughter to be a twins fan. I bought the dog's loyalty for the night with ribeye scraps. Let's hoist the W!

The Cubbies clinched a wild card slot today! We are playoff bound. I'm looking forward to my future disappointment.

I don't understand the appeal of attempting to frantically spit poor sports analysis into a microphone in front of a screaming crowd.
Can we stop with this?

Is it hash to wish a "Bears" game upon the Packers tonight? Aka, three good quarters of football immediately followed by a quarter that shatters the hopes and dreams of their fans. Asking for a friend.

@domrikade.bsky.social @goblingathering.bsky.social Thanks for the episode on the sticker cube. I took the concept and ran. First draft with the local group tonight. They loved it!

The little gremlin was sleeping well. Managed to squeak in a trophy with this green black deck.
I managed to pull off the Broodtender Gravship loop in multiple games.

The first EOE Emperor Night is in the books. Good set for this. Lots of interaction.
Everything was tied up going into the Emperor Game.

Just getting to posting this now. 1-2 at the EOE prerelease. Poor record, but it was a lot of fun.
Built Blue/Black control. Multiple Warp synergies made the deck a fun puzzle to play out.

If the Cubs lose to the White Sox again today, it's going to be a rough one.

I forgot my wireless mouse at home and the Brewers are ahead of the Cubs in the NLC standings. I'm going to be unreasonably agitated today.

Are EDH games gremlins?
Don't feed (start) them after midnight? Don't get them wet (drunk)?

Another Tarkir Dragon Emperor Night last night. A little rough on the good guys.
Yep, a blowout. Didn't even make it to the EMP game. One of my teammates didn't even make it out of round 1! The couch ate him!

Pregger Kegger at Third Space Brewing today was fantastic. (They aren't on this platform.) Pic of the calm before the storm. Would recommend the Upward Spiral IPA and the Red Rover Red IPA.
The wife's family upset the balance tonight. Way too much brewer baby gear... I'll have to fix that.

In Milwaukee for a Pregger Kegger. Sitting in the inlaws living room watching the Brewers game. I am in the den of the enemy.

After the Prerelease we came back for a draft and Emperor night. I think this limited format will be deep and people will engage with for a long time.
The good guys took the event down. Our team was 1 win away from negating the need for the Emperor game. Aka, the Blowout Scenario.
