  1. This is a really good all Idaho Pilsner that’s crisp and with a great finish. It makes me smile. My son is 50 years younger than me and he and his friends really like it and deride “old people’s beer” saying that IPAs taste like feet. I have neglected asking him how he knows feet taste bad.
  2. I’ve been here 21 years and I still consider myself one of the new kids.
  3. Just another typical fall day at the Idaho Botanical Garden, one of my most frequently visited and favorite places ever.
  4. It was a more benign version of that brainwashing scene out of A Clockwork Orange.
  5. I was a Dodgers fan for one year in 1982 when I was laid up from a motorcycle injury and it was the only baseball on the radio where I lived. I loved Fernando, but always knew Garvey was a prick. Vin Scully was great. But that short-lived Bleeding Dodger Blue part of me has long since expired. I’m pulling for Toronto for lots of reasons, but I don’t have much hope for them.
  6. This was an exciting game to watch. I’m glad it was a nationally televised broadcast and not something on FOX which never allows me to watch the Lions unless they’re playing someone on the West Coast.
  7. I wish they could figure out how to sack Mayfield.
  8. $20 million a year for a guy under replacement value. I guess a lot of of these contracts end like that.
  9. I don’t really mean to “like” this because I hold nothing against Nick but that seems kind of astonishing, but maybe not.
  10. Dodgers now lead Milwaukee three games to zero. Scherzer is pitching for the Jays and Naylor just hit a home run for the Mariners who now lead 1-0 in the second while the series stands at 2-1 M’s.
  11. Once again, I am so glad that this is not my problem. I have a habit of looking for problems, but this ain’t one of them.
  12. Now 13-4 Jays in the top of the ninth. That’s pretty much an emphatic comeback. Feel kind of bad for the Seattle fans who had to endure this. They had such high hopes and this series is not over yet by any means but man, this is a real butt kicking.
  13. And suddenly the Blue Jays scored five runs in the top of the third. I certainly am glad this isn’t my problem.
  14. As much as I want to, I still can’t make myself care about this game or watch it much longer. I wish them well. The Mariners that is.
  15. The Mariners know how to make contact. It is what it is.
  16. Rodriguez hits a two run homer in the bottom of the first for the Mariners in game three then Polanco gets a double.
  17. My own meager interest in the postseason after our own team’s elimination is now in the hands of the Seattle Mariners. But given how the Dodgers seem to have resurrected their pitching staff and how poorly Ohtani has hit in the postseason, which probably can’t be expected to continue, i’m not holding my breath about the Mariners chances.
  18. What about Wenceel Pérez? Before the trade deadline I apparently ill advisedly suggested trading him for pitching while his stock was high. Given at least his last 30 games of the regular season and in the postseason, how do people feel about him now?
  19. Scott Harris is just doing it his way, like Frank Sinatra.
  20. I just checked the Dodger Brewer game with the Dodgers leading 5-1. What a bore.
  21. Meh. I’m off to do other things. There’s just no “there“ for me in this game.
