In case you needed *more* information about the game thrown at you tonight.
Month: October 2013
I think Keri’s point about the Red Sox bench could end up being very important, especially in the games in St. Louis:
> The Red Sox, on the other hand, can beat you with multiple weapons off the bench. Mike Carp was a monster this season, hitting .296/.362/.523 in part-time duty (.300/.367/.537 vs. righties). Middlebrooks offers major power in a reserve role, assuming Bogaerts starts. Quintin Berry is the next iteration of pinch-runner deluxe Dave Roberts, only faster, with 28 consecutive stolen bases without being caught to start his career (including the playoffs). I’d still probably rather see Daniel Nava in the lineup against right-handed starters than have Gomes — a useful player who is still not as good a hitter as Nava is against righties — in there. But if the Red Sox are going to carry a player who hit a sky-high .322/.411/.484 in nearly 400 plate appearances against righties as a bench guy, that only boosts their late-inning options, especially in games at St. Louis where they can pinch hit aggressively for the pitcher’s spot.

All Aboard the Jingle Cruise
I know that some people find the Jungle Cruise to be corny, but Elyssa and I love it. I am gladding they are going to be adding a little holiday cheer to the ride. It seems a perfect place for it.
I cannot believe all of these things took place during this season. What a year.
> “Chris Hemsworth is on charismatic, physically imposing form once again as the hammer-wielding hero (look out for a genuinely awe-inspiring shirtless scene within the first 15 minutes), but the film belongs to Tom Hiddleston,“ writes Digital Spy’s Emma Dibdin, “which is all the more remarkable given how much of its running time he spends off screen. Additional scenes were filmed to flesh out Loki’s storyline, and watching the final cut you only wish they’d gone further.”
Here’s to more Hiddelston love on Tumblr.
This is a welcome addition.
> Adobe and Apple have worked closely together to test Adobe® Creative Cloud applications and Adobe Creative Suite 6 applications for reliability, performance and user experience when installed on Intel® based systems running Mac OS X Mavericks. (v10.9). All Adobe CC and CS6 products are compatible, but a few products require updates to the latest builds to work properly. Adobe Photoshop® CS5, CS4 and CS3 were also tested with Mac OS X Mavericks and there are currently no major issues known.
Good to hear. Normally, Adobe seems to be one of the companies whose software is not ready for the release.
This is a major bummer. I was hoping *this* would be the release that really started a push to replace Microsoft Word.
I am so glad that Doubront held on to the top spot.
This is the second best “save the date” that I have seen this year.[^fn1]
[^fn1]: Of course, I am biased.
Brubaker doing a noir-ish thriller is *exactly* what I want from my comic books. I hope this is great.
This is cool. I am really excited to see how this works.
A cool little addition while Disney Spring is being constructed.[^fn1]
[^fn1]: I really hope the corn-dogs are as good as everyone says the Disneyland ones are.
This is a complete non-story that is getting ridiculously blown out of proportion. There was no way people could have easily gotten to appointments on Thursday, the hospital knew this a year ago and scheduled accordingly. It’s ridiculous how quickly people will try to jump on any sniff of a rumor about college sports and their importance at universities.

Koji’s Curve
*Fangraphs* explains why Koji should *never* throw this pitch again.
The ears look pretty impressive during Celebrate the Magic and Wishes. I would love to see a detailed explanation of how the ears work.
It looks a show that Elyssa likes is *finally* going to make it past the first 13 episodes.[^fn1]
[^fn1]: I admit, the show is pretty funny. I thought it would over-the-top stupid, but it has turned out to be be a little more subtle and I have been really enjoying.
Something to remember when you are in the the theatre in a couple of weeks.
> The pre-concept approval status allows the athletic department and IPTAY to commission further studies and begin fundraising efforts. Included in the proposed facilities: 1) a rebuilt basketball arena on the current site of Littlejohn Coliseum; 2) a new academic center as part of the core campus project; 3) the construction of a letter winner’s area and meeting space at Memorial Stadium; 4) complete suite renovation at Memorial Stadium; 5) a new football operations facility; and 6) significant upgrades to the tennis complex.
It is probably a good thing they took this vote *before* Saturday night’s débâcle.
It looks like there is no trace left of the Comedy Warehouse. I still miss that place.
