No beach for me
Aug. 31st, 2024 11:57 pmNo beach today. It was dark and cloudy for most of the day. There were a few five or ten-minute breaks in the cloud but as soon as it got nice, it was dark again.
It was really humid again while not being hot. I wound up turning on the AC around 8PM because the apartment just felt weird.

Today’s long reads:
LL Cool J Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop. (Why Would He?) - nobody was better to work with for promotions at the BMC was LL Cool J. Tireless.

This is frightening. Ricky Pearsall, the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver/2024 first-round draft pick, was shot in the chest during a robbery in Union Square at 3:30PM. He was going to an autograph signing event.
According to the San Francisco police department, Pearsall fought with a thief who was trying to steal his Rolex watch. Things devolved to Pearsall and the thief struggling over a gun. Pearsall, 23, is in serious but stable condition. There is video of him walking to the ambulance holding his shirt on the bullet wound.
In August of 2022, Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. was shot in DC by two teenagers trying to rob him.

The Yankees lost today to the St. Louis Cardinals, the first time the Cardinals had a win in Yankee Stadium since the 1964 World Series. Now, from 1965 to 1996, there was no interleague baseball except in the World Series so if the Yankees didn’t play the Cardinals in the World Series (they did not in 1976, 1977, 1978, 1981 and 1996), there was no chance for a win or loss. But in 1997, interleague play began and while the Yankees and Cardinals didn’t meet up regularly, in the last near 30-years, the Cardinals played a few games at Yankee Stadium and the Cardinals were mostly good teams during those years.
Today, the Yankees put out a Triple A pitcher – everyone thinks Will Warren will be a good pitcher but he wasn’t supposed to be in the big leagues until next season. He’s learning on the job and so is Jazz Chisolm learning on the job playing third and not being positioned correctly for a possible pickoff move. The Yankees lost 6-5.
The Yankees playing the Cardinals is a historically big deal – the two teams have the most World Series wins – 27 from the Yankees, 11 for the Cardinals.
August in Aaron Judge:
I think that’s pretty good.

Today’s moment of happiness: Beach buddy.
Off to bed!
