Well, if Arizona puts up loss #74 today, the Mets would have to lose out to miss out. (I have no idea how any tiebreaks stand, even though I was just on the scheduling page.)

Meanwhile, 44 hours without power (thanks SO much, Hurricane Helene! Not to mention the lardasses at Dominion Energy…how many downed lines can there be? The lines are all underground nowadays!) left me in the dark figuratively, as well as literally. So I apparently missed two completely crappy efforts that wiped us out of the Losers' Trophy, but we're still alive for the You Really Suck Trophy and perhaps even favorites for the Play Any Worse and We Trade You to the White Sox Trophy. Oh, joy.

At least I have one last day with GKR. Unless the ESPinheads steal it, I guess.

(Is ESPn really not replaying Alabama-Georgia? It might turn up on SEC network, I guess [my DirecTV schedule is still "rebuilding"]. Hope I can stay unspoiled until then.)
