His tax liabilities really have swollen, he’s being battered by creditors, and he seems to be hemorrhaging money. I hope this ordeal doesn’t break him; after all, the IRS is famous for its abuses.

(all-quadrants roasting of Brooks generates the hits/clicks/mentions necessary to keep him an economically viable asset at the NYT for another six months)

Why are they unleashing mad dogs near commissioners, that seems very irresponsible.

It’s like you’re trying to unravel a giant cable-knit sweater and someone keeps knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting ...

The late Keith Emerson and the late Oscar Peterson take turns playing a song by the late Meade “Lux” Lewis

(wages and health insurance further erode as the American South, net siphoners of federal funds, are screwed over by permanent austerity to prop up billionaires) No I think they’re still fucked.

For the then-upstart Astros, it was one bad inning of relief against the Royals, or they could have made it two years ahead of schedule (same thing happened in 1986 against Mets— horrible middle relief). Pretty sure the Dodgers haven’t been to the Series since I was in high school, and I’m old.

The only negative in the offensive display (I think they have 50 more runs than anyone else) is that they are routinely pounding starting pitchers who they might be in the market for— unless this decreases their trade value.

Texas is the proud signer of Two Declarations of Independence (itself, 1835 / with the Confederacy, 1861) motivated by the love of slavery. The second time around it took us all the way to the 3rd paragraph to mention it.

He wasn’t helped by all the Cubs’ fielding arrrrrrrrrrrors
