I’m switching over to the radio feed because I’m thinking they may give me a better game

Hunter Gaddis replaces Gavin Williams.

Maybe next inning

I’m feeling runs. I’m feeling a cloudburst of runs.

Heck.

Loaded for Colt Keith.

Javy breaks up the no-no and Parker scampers the 3rd

It just now went down to exactly .400

Wow Ramírez has over a .400 batting average against Scoob

Could really use an easy double play now

Thank God, the no hitter bull**** is over.

I hope Dingler is able to trick this ump some more. Although the ump may just be crappy.

Everything bad is being normalized.

Scoob Ks the 1st 2

Ha ha ha that’s incredible. Kwan is running to first base, thinking it’s a walk when the ball out of the strike zone is called a strike dramatically by the ump.

OK, this ump is an idiot.

Oh well, there’s eight more innings.

Make them pay Tork!

So was Adam Wainwright last night being a jerk when he was trying to reign in Jason‘s personality? I wasn’t watching at the time.

I don’t know if it’s the FanDuel broadcast or mlb.tv but the feed is constantly blacking out for a second or two and it never does on anything else I watch on my television. And of course, it never happens on the commercials.

When I’m watching the pregame show and I hear the word “parlay” I reach for my revolver.

Yes. This is par for the course of being human. He was in great physical pain in the hospital and he fell in love with a student nurse after years of monastic abstinence. But he wasn’t stealing from widows and orphans, he wasn’t expropriating land from the peasantry and driving them into starvation, and he wasn’t leading wars against infidels, so none of this diminishes him in my eyes to the point that I would think that his spiritual insights were tainted.

What is he reported to be guilty of doing toward the end of his life?

I like this unabashed embrace of “self” which is spuriously and undialectically disregarded within many “spiritual“ disciplines as well as in everything ranging from mute scientism to Lacanian psychoanalysis to various forms of structuralism and post-structuralism. The self never really goes away even when it is deemphasized in ecstatic states of beholding. Thank you for the suggestion. I for one do hold that solitude is necessary to undermine the enculturated practice of seeking outside oneself that which can only be found internally where distinctions between self and no-self break down. I doubt, however, that in this late stage in life I’ll ever achieve the integration that Thomas Merton did even if that remains my alleged purpose.
