Usually over by 8 (unless I get some Wellerian extra inning action) so still can get an hour or two to do other stuff before bed.
The mountain time zone is really the optimal timezone for watching east coast games.

If you lived here, you’d know that He doesn’t need this timezone, it exists precisely because of His love.

I'm just still sitting here guffawing over ghost runners.

I read somebody somewhere call it the Manfred Man. Which is way clever.

Re: MLB 2023
The ghost runner makes me sad. I love those few, very few, games a year that go 15-16 innings. Games that you start watching at home then maybe you go out and have dinner and run an errand or two and you get back home the goddam game is still going. I love that. It's makes baseball absurdist which is always a good thing.

Didn't he have a heart attack a few years back? He had a legendary scowl on the mound, maybe more scary than Bob Gibson's.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑17 Feb 2023, 3:39pmI just saw this pop up in my feed. Stewart is looing pretty fit for 65.

Re: MLB 2023
Yes, also for me it reminds me of not having enough people to play which was always kind of sad. It's just kind of pathetic.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑17 Feb 2023, 3:35pmThe ghost runner makes me sad.

Re: MLB 2023
I totally agree with this. The ghost runner is so lame, and it cheapens the entire game. Not good at all. What it does is justify teams using 6,7 pitchers a game. Ridiculous.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑17 Feb 2023, 3:35pmThe ghost runner makes me sad. I love those few, very few, games a year that go 15-16 innings.

From what I see there's still a little hope
