The World Baseball Classic is the opposite of the World Cup in that it's a bunch of AFC and CONCACAF teams beating up on the rest of the World.

Itโ€™s 2026. The World Cup is in North America. The top flight league has so drastically cut its own media presence and has a fully paywalled broadcast thatโ€™s effectively made it invisible to casual soccer fans. Second tier league is openly trying to bust a union.

Call the league office and tell them to quit the shenanigans and sign a new contract. Protect your players!

Iโ€™d be all over the USLโ€™s phone lines if I still had a team in this fight, but mine folded.

As a mid-century, old school, โ€œshow some respect, would ya?โ€™ sports fan, I am absolutely pulling for the Old Guys That Got Screwed F1 Team.

This intersection is a roll of the dice almost any time of day. 3-6 lanes of traffic in every direction. I saw three cars turn left on red (S Gen to E LJV) on Monday at 11 am.

I do love some rock en espaรฑol. Manรก was first described to me as Mexican rock with Stewart Copeland-like drums. That was enough for me to purchase En Vivo when I was in Morelia in the late 90s.

I could use a โ€œOye Mi Amorโ€ singalong again. Perhaps in October.

Happy 303 Day
Despite being a synthhead since the mid-90s Iโ€™ve never played one. Thank goodness for the ahead-of-its-time software synth, ReBirth, that made all of us ravers.
