It doesn't feel good if you're a player

but the Mariners still have a decent bullpen without Graveman

and 2B was mostly a mess this year

Season ends today, who are your major award winners?

Dan Szymborski

12:38

Hmm

Ohtani MVP AL

Cole MVP NL

12:39

I'm actually very tempted to take Wander ROY AL in this theoretical

it's not necessarily MOST VALUABLE rookie, but best rookie

NL Cy C. Milwaukee Burnes

12:40

I think Trea would be my MVP, but it's close

NL ROY not saying since I'm a voter tehre

Benny Baseball

whats your cat(s) situation?

Dan Szymborski

12:41

Cassiopeia was sleeping in the back room upstairs

Mercutio's probably in the living room as I heard mom praising him through my ceiling when she stopped by

Don't know what the catlets are doing right now. They were at the dining room window watching me check the smoker before I got here

Favorite amusement park ride?

Dan Szymborski

12:42

Lazy River!

There's a place here that allows you to bring your alcoholic beverage on the lazy river

12:44

from a more "ridey" level, I tned to prefer things with a lot of horizontal action and water

I like vertical things less. I tend to "gray out" in sudden changes in elevation, which has contributed to a healthy dislike of heights and sudden changes in elevation

so I love rapids rides and twisty water slides

but not the straight down ones.

Can or has Zips been used to project players’ home and away performance in extreme cases such as the Rockies’?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

Generic park factors are better predictors of a player's future home/road splits than their actual home/road splits are!

The university I work at has chicken finger thursday for lunch every Thursday (today!). I usually feel just "meh" about it, should I just suck it up and get the chicken fingers or does it really mean I should get a salad instead?

Dan Szymborski

12:45

how do you mess up chicken fingers?

Depends how good the sald is

Most places use crap lettude

12:46

lettuce

I'm not interested in salads eating out unless they're *specific* on a good lettuce like Boston. Or spring mix, which I always enjoy.

If your city had to be abandoned for 20 years (like Chernobyl but without the killer radiation), what animal would take over control? Raccoons?
