Good morning!

Something occurred to me yesterday right after I sent out that comment thread following Game 2.

Anyway: the day off gave us a couple of little things. Juan Soto rumors. Some managerial news. The Fielding Bible Awards. Something that should make the Royals feel bad. Great Moments in Sponsorship. There’s even a football item, but trust me, it’s extraordinarily superficial.

In Other Stuff I talk about Matthew Perry, Richard Moll, Mike Pence and the Bill Watterson book, The Mysteries.
