13-12. I was there. Got home at 2:30 am

It’s 10:07 Central Time here and I just rolled into work (8am is about normal)

He said the sheriff is near

Yes, the Astros play games in like two and half hours

If I had a life sentence, I’d kill myself too, and I’d appreciate it if you didn’t try to get in the way with your good intentions

This is from like two months ago

I was at this game and never knew Hogan’s first name until now. We called him Doug Hogan.

Because it’s his money and he gives a shit about them

Child support laws should be there to make sure that children’s financial needs are met, not as a punitive pseudo-divorce. There is no reason why anyone should owe $2MM per year to support two children.

He always looks like he’s photoshopped into a stock photo

And yet if your life depended on the outcome of this series, which guy would you rather have?

Worth noting that PFT Commenter was a regular for years on Kissing Suzy Kolber, whose writers and commenters were the heart and soul of deadspin in its first decade

Also, not to homer too much for Altuve, but a lot of Judge’s WAR came from very late in the season when the playoff spots and seeds were locked up. Jose was leading by most straight up offensive metrics until about a week ago, and he’s been benched for most of the mathematically meaningless last week.

Are those WAR metrics position weighted? i.e. would Jose’s wins added be above a replacement level 2B? I know wRC+ isn’t position-weighted.
