  1. We haven't had a group family vacation since The Incident.  We were in Colorado with wife's parents and brother's family.  As I've mentioned before, they're all overly polite, except MIL is very passive aggressive and everyone accommodates that. They also have a downright pathological need to eat meals together.  ALWAYS.  When we're trying to plan activities, no one actually ever expresses a preference, they just say, "We could do this..." and so we waste massive amounts of time talking about what we could do instead of doing things.  And when it's time to pick a restaurant, everyone will say, "Oh, any place is fine," even though it's not, because MIL can't eat spicy foods and basically won't eat any meat except chicken.  So it's about the third day of the vacation, and I'm already frazzled by two days of this, and I'm starving, so it's time to eat.  And the any-place-is-fines start up, and I suggest a place and get "No, Mama is not going to like that place."  I suggest another and get, "No, they won't have anything Mama will like."  And I lose it.  "What happened to ANY PLACE IS FINE?!!??"  Told them I was going to find food and they could eat where they wanted to eat.  Wife tried to stop me and I told her to piss off, that I was DONE.  10 minutes later, she found me in the bar with a plate of nachos and my third cocktail.  She didn't talk to me for the rest of the trip, so win-win.

    For the 16th time out of 26 it was within 2 runs either way. 

    10 of 26 HRs when the lead/deficit is 3 or more?  That seems like a lot to me, especially because almost all 1st/2nd inning homers will be with the score close.

    Tonight should be pretty good as I assume we'll finally see Luke nuke hisself after slut-shaming Hannah B.

    They really should have had a live remote camera back at the mansion where all of the eliminated guys were watching that, just to see the reactions.  

  4. I was having trouble deciding what was more painful, watching Peter try to tell her he loves her, or watching Jed decide that fantasy sweet dates was the perfect time to discuss Luke and throw up an epic self-cockblock.  And then somehow he talked himself out of it, and Luke went full Luke.  He has to be an actor, because there's no way he didn't sit there across from her and not realize by the look on her face that she was fucking furious.  

    Among the 3 finalists, 

    Tyler kind of creeps me out for some reason.

    Peter seems like the best guy, the guy I'd hope my daughter would pick.  Hannah will pick someone else, though.  

    Jed has been made to look so uncomfortable these past two shows...

    Spoiler

    Did they know he had a girlfriend before he came on the show and kept it under wraps just for the story?

    Got dam, Hannah is dumb.  Her toasts are completely cringe-inducing.

    I just dropped in to see what condition our condition was in....

    I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
    I watched myself crawling out as I was a-crawling in
    I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
    I saw so much I broke my mind

  6. Have I ever mentioned that guys, especially catchers, don't fucking know how to tag?  Verdugo was nearly safe because the tag was way up on the leg.  Just put the glove in front of the plate and let the guy slide into it and tag himself out.  Shit, this is becoming a pet peeve of mine.  

  7. I feel like A-Rod, when he first started announcing, was really good because he prepared really thoroughly and kept himself low-key because he knew everyone hated him.  And now that people like him, he's relaxing and being himself more, which is bad, because he's actually really annoying.
