I have to start packing for New Orleans so it’s time for one of my favorite albums to get me in the mood.
Got a Death Cab friendship bracelet while waiting in line. Also, I’ve got nearly an hour to kill so AMA.
My favorite Tyler Soderstrom story is when I got to see him bat 1.000 at the Coliseum.
Munetaka Murakami has been named to the AL All-Star team! He replaces Byron Buxton on the roster.
The Italian boys are having a good night on Italian Heritage Night.
Anyway, Bill made baseball fun. I wouldn’t have a large dresser topped with weird giveaways without him.
When you’re listening to your favorite podcasts episode about fireworks and see this, you know it’s going to be about the White Sox: Also, they mispronounced Veeck. 😔
My husband has been buying me Topps Now cards lately. I went through older ones as well, and I feel like it describes me as a person. White Sox, the Menendez Brothers on the Mark Jackson card, the Pope, Return to Oz, Beetlejuice, Steve Gelbs Gatorade bath, WS rookies, and autographed Kyle Teel.
The train home is struggling. I guess they have to share the track due to construction. We slowed down a ton, then stopped fully (not at a station) and the lights went off for a few minutes. At least my makeup looked good if I die.
I spent a good year or so playing this song as loud as I could while still living with my ex. (We were separated and getting a divorce) Hearing it live is always cathartic.
