    Speaking of shirts, I love the shirt JCL was sporting.

I have to shoot a football game after work tonight, and I have a wedding to shoot all day tomorrow... I'm probably going to sleep for 25 hours on Sunday...

    I love the Netflix/Marvel TV universe. I like where they're going with Luke Cage, building him up slowly through Jessica Jones before his series starts. BTW, Jeff Loeb seems to be the anti-Kevin Feige. I spent most of the time down in the tunnels shooting cosplayers, but got into a few panels. The Firefly panel was fun, so was the Adult Swim panel...

    I'm a little Marvelled out - I haven't seen Ant-Man yet, and I felt 3 of the previous 4 movies were underwhelming (Guardians of the Galaxy being the lone exception). I'm more excited about the Jessica Jones series on Netflix next month. We were shown the first episode at ComicCon this weekend, and it was very good.

I also emailed it around hoping that one of the media guys will use it and call out that replay official for using his discretion to award Utley the base. It's just that now I'm back to being somewhat rational. And my wife let me go out in public again. Honestly, no exaggeration, I was so mad Saturday night I was shaking. Seriously, the only thing that saved me was spending the weekend at Comic Con.

But now, given the events of Saturday night, it would be intolerable, because it would be unjust, to lose this series. Yup. Unlike CF, I haven't gotten over my unmitigated, persistent rage

Gathering with a group of friends around the table on the Sunday before the season started to draft your team, and then let the chips fall where they may. The lead up research during spring training not only got me going for the season, but it also made me more knowledgeable of each team's players. It was just more laid back, and enjoyable. I run a league just like this, have been since 2000. Ceetar joined it this year. We draft via email for the first 10-12 rounds and then live draft (via shared spreadsheet) for the rest, since the participants are all over the nation (a few do come over to my place for pizza and drafting). It's great fun, curmudgeonly dismissals aside that's really cool.

    I cringe every time I see/hear one of these Draft Kings or Fanduel commercials. I don't see how anyone has the time to play head to head fantasy sports Every. Single. Day. As FK said, most of the money goes to those players basically do it professionally. I miss the days of Rotisserie Baseball.

Anyway, I found this fun article in the Times from 25 years ago, and it was a quandary I found myself in a couple of times: http://www.nytimes.com/1990/04/08/sports/views-of-sport-the-awful-truth-about-rotisserie-league-baseball.html

    I'm happy that it won't conflict with NYCC this weekend.

    I voted for the Royals, because I think it would be cool to have the two teams in the World Series playing against each other on the following Opening Day.

    He's not worth any of the time or energy needed to get even the least bit annoyed with him...

    Um, will this be the first division winner to be no-hit twice in the same season? Not even the first div winner this year to do it Dodgers were no-hit twice in a 9 day span about a month ago. oe: Aug 25 - Mike Fiers, Houston -- Aug 30, Jake Arietta, Cubs Thanks - totally forgot about that...

    Well, that was embarrassing..

    This card is wrong on so many levels...

    You're Noah Syndergaard! Young and enthusiastic, you bring focus and determination to everything you do. And you have really, really great hair. Since I'm 5'-10", left-handed, with a buzzcut and beard, this doesn't exactly fit...

No, they don't. http://blog.nj.com/njv_mark_diionno/2013/10/yogi_berras_d-day_service_reme.html On Saturday, Berra received the first Bob Feller Act of Valor Award, one of baseball’s ways to pay homage to the military. Feller, who died three years ago, was a star pitcher for the Cleveland Indians. The day after Pearl Harbor, he walked away from a $100,000 contract to join the Navy and served aboard the USS Alabama as a gunner. “He didn’t like me,” Berra said. “One day I asked why. He said, ‘I don’t respect people who didn’t serve their country.’ I said, ‘What are you talking about? I was at D-Day.’ After that, we became best friends.”

    Apparently, a few players agree with Papelbon: http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/just-a-bit-outside/story/jonathan-papelbon-bryce-harper-fight-current-ex-players-support-pitcher-long-time-coming-092715 Including our old friend Hawk: Latroy Hawkins on Twitter wrote: @CJNitkowski loved the article CJ, Pap will take a beating for this from everyone who doesn't play the game. #EntitlementGeneration

    Wow - I forgot that he played for the Nationals, and he went 40/40/40...
