@seaks Even I forget that Kiki Cuyler was a Red. Nice!

#immaculategrid x #baseballBack on my Reds nonsense. All but Grubb were Reds.
Annoyed that Clay Kirby is at 2%. Should have used Fred Norman or just gone Bip Roberts.
Strangely unsatisfying grid.
Shoutouts to Lonnie Frey, Josh Hamilton, and Joe Morgan.

What the fuck, History?!?@tarheel @Outpatientzero @cstross
I feel like, the last decade, potential answers to the Fermi paradox have been stacking up like cord wood.

Insomnia research grid nabs a rarity of 3 ..For that Texas/Dodgers box, love that I had Al Oliver and you had Bill Madlock. Both in Pirates gear.

⚾️ Immaculate Grid 702 9/9:I sympathize, but come at it differently. My dislike for the Cardinals is so deep, I try to think of guys I like, who happened to briefly be Cardinals, through no fault of their own.
Added benefit is not seeing Cardinal jerseys in the photos.

⚾️ Immaculate Grid 702 9/9:Top left spot yesterday was Phillies/Red Sox. First thought: Rick Wise.
Top left spot today was St.Louis/Cleveland. First thought: Rick Wise.
Skipped him yesterday, had to use him today.
His other team was San Diego. Wonder if they show up in tomorrow’s grid.

#immaculategrid x #baseballNo themes, mostly just first and second thoughts and in a hurry.
Double checked my Rays, because really? Mike Difelice was my first thought? Didn’t trust that. Cantú is a favorite because he had 100 RBI seasons for both Florida teams and still a negative career WAR.
David Clyde was an infamous rushed first-overall pick & Len Barker threw a perfect game.

Is it just me or have people basically stopped following back on here?I’ve noticed it being slightly quieter the last couple weeks. My guess would be some people trying to avoid all news sources, because they’re sick of hearing about the latest poo flinging by the chaos-monkey-in-chief.

⚾️ Immaculate Grid 701 9/9:My rough draft on an index card.
Pokey Reese and Don Kessenger were the original non-Skeeter options.
Edit: the ? next to Vierling was Nick Maton, the part of the trade I couldn’t remember.

Molloy highlights the trans issue, but the whole NYT graph makes me want to vomit.See, I love this chart. It makes it very clear that the New York Times cares about institutions and not actual people. Specifically, they really don’t care about minorities and specifically do care about the institutions designed to serve wealthy white folks.

#immaculategrid x #baseballHot damn! Today’s grid is like Florida—filled with Skeeters!
Skeeter Barnes was my first thought and typing him in and saw Skeeter Newsome and remembered he was a Red Sox and then went checking.
Phillies column is easy after 15 years there. Cummings was in their OF in 1997 when I moved there.
Tanaka & Bobo are my usuals. Reuss was briefly a Red.
Gary Redus!

⚾️ Immaculate Grid 700 9/9:Roy Smalley topped out at 95 RBIs for the Twins, so not quite useful.
Feel like I missed somebody.
EDIT: Gary Ward, father of Daryle, topped out at 91 RBIs for the Twins.

#immaculategrid x #baseballReminder: weekends are for learning. Definitely didn’t remember all these guys.
Went bottom row then up. Spotted theme of “Fathers & Sons” immediately. Didn’t even need Vladi Jr. or Bo Bichette (C. Biggio no help).
All Jays & Giants have fathers or sons in MLB.
Twins didn’t work. Young & Manush had brothers and Hunter had a cousin (Choo Freeman) in MLB.

#games #cardsI used to fence quite a bit, did okay, even went to lower level Nationals a few times. (Somebody has to place 68th out of 76.)
Nothing prepared me for my 30 seconds on strip against the reigning 16-and-under World Champion. I was a beer league softball player trying to hit a peak Nolan Ryan fastball.
We weren’t in the same universe and I still giggle a little when I think about it.

"The real power in America is held by a fast-emerging new Oligarchy of pimps and preachers who see no need for Democracy or fairness or even trees, except maybe the ones in their own yards, and they don't mind admitting it.Love Thompson but don’t remember this. What’s it from?

@shigGreat. Thanks for this. (Not sarcasm.) I just went down a “Diggy Diggy Hole” rabbit hole. Which is appropriate, I guess.
Feel like Jonathan Coulton should have covered this. Maybe I just missed it.
Glad you had fun at D&D while I was drinking my weight in coffee.
