According to the poll, there are 23 people who are a fan of one of these teams. To these 23 I ask, how y'all holding up?

Juan Pursuit

9:20

Not well

9:20

after all the jewelry commercials, what's the cultural convention for months of salary you're supposed to spend on an engagement ring?

Ben Clemens

9:20

I have heard a lot of things but I feel like having a convention is just silly?

9:21

Like what a weird scale.

Meg Rowley

9:21

it's a hilariously high $$

Ben Clemens

9:21

Talk to your significant other, decide what you guys want to spend

Meg Rowley

9:21

yup!

Ben Clemens

9:21

You don't have to specifically talk about it before getting engaged, just talk about it in the general context of 'if we get engaged.'

Some people care a lot about having a glacier.

9:22

Some people don't.

La Pantera

9:22

the range of topics tonight is significant.

Ben Clemens

9:22

Last chat of the year! Gotta show off our range.

AntiTaubman

9:22

Seems a bit premature before this game ends to call it "last chat of the year"

Ben Clemens

9:23

Nah, we're just not on the roster for tomorrow.

Meg Rowley

9:23

oh yes the last postseason chat for me and Ben also

Not Evan

9:23

What's the rangiest topic you're fluent in?

Ben Clemens

9:23

Sounds like a goal for the chat!

Lunar verLander

9:23

Not until tomorrow's game goes 23 innings

Roger

9:24

Rosenthal dropping truth bombshells about win-loss record.

Meg Rowley

9:24

Ken is good at this.

Ben Clemens

9:24

Imagine the excitement when Meg and I run from the writing dugout to the writing bullpen to warm up to tag into the chat.

Meg Rowley

9:25

"WE ARE HERE AND HAVE NOT BEEN DRINKING WHY DO YOU ASK?"

The Hamburglar

9:25

I like the analysis on Verlander's "bad" WS starts....Really, really wish they gave that context to a lot of Kershaw's postseason starts....

Ben Clemens

9:25

Strong agree.

9:25

Who’s the writing bullpen catcher?

Andrew

9:26

Oh I'd love a thoroughly sloshed chat in the 16th inning or so

Ben Clemens

9:26

It's Meg, as she has a twitter avatar with a catching mask on.

Which makes it very confusing when she too is warming up.

Meg Rowley

9:26

Damn straight

I'm versatile

twb

9:26

any Central Waters fans in the chat? they have the best stout imo

Ben Clemens

9:27

If you could get it out of Wisconsin, I'd be more into it.

As it is, I have it when we go see my wife's family.

Not Evan

9:27

How many drinks is too many to respond to a work email? I stop answering after four, which is when it starts feeling risky.

Ben Clemens

9:28

I had my rule at two, back when I worked in a field where this was more relevant.

Meg Rowley

9:28

Agreed

Hire Joe Morgan?

9:28

I feel like Verlander's fastball flattens out when he overthrows. Is there any way to test that?

Ben Clemens

9:28

There absolutely is a way to test it. I have not done that way.

But you could basically just look at the Bauer Units (spin/mph)
