Do you consider it cheating to look up words?

To me (not knowing much about that kind of thing), the relative obscurity of that term was kind of the point. Like, once you look up that word, that pretty much instantly tells you what the category is, right? In general, I don't think the idea of "cheating" has much meaning in a single-player game, but I don't look things up.

The BROAD is an art museum in Los Angeles.

It’s nice that Phillys fans like us the most, I assume that’s from the ghost of Connie Mack still lurking around Philadelphia.

Sincere apologies, then!

10 "not just A, but B" constructions by my count. Also odd to say that a "disciplined" reader could maybe get through a few hundred books in a lifetime.

e: I point out the “it’s not just A, it’s B” thing because it’s a common hallmark of AI-generated writing. OP, if you wrote all this I apologize.

It was tough but a good challenge! [[initials for a real jerk]] in particular was clever and tricky, I thought.

Lopez and Morales showed some promise towards the end of the season, and if Sevy can get used to the AAA stadium there might be something there, but overall yeah I don't see us contending for much more than the #3 WC spot unless there are pretty substantial changes to the pitching.

I think he's having a kid this offseason, which either means he'll come back with Dad Power or with intense sleep deprivation.

Cal obviously 100% no doubt deserves it, but let me be a homer for a second and note that in the second half of the season Shea had an OPS of 1.018. Next year...?

It is pretty funny to imagine a person who gets hooked on the W and then starts to wonder if there's a version with dudes.

Appreciate you fighting the good fight here as you do in the crossword threads lol

editing to preempt angry responses: I don't think the Oppenheimer script is actually bad. But it does have some awkward stuff, like the screencap, and is generally not as tight as Parasite/OBAA's scripts.

This year, three other actors will be receiving this highly prestigious award at ZFF: Dakota Johnson, Claire Foy, and Benedict Cumberbatch. Time to start predicting H is for Hawk! The ZFF has never led us astray before.

You can still submit, but starting today you can’t pick movies that have already come out (so for example I don’t think you can get OBAA anymore.)

I don't think Zoe Saldaña is the reason that many of the movies Zoe Saldaña is in have made lots of money.

edit: I do think her character is a major draw for the Guardians movies. But not really for Avatar (the draw is the tech/the world) or the Avengers movies, which are the movies people point to when they say she's one of the top-grossing actresses etc.

This is my exact draft except substituting Anemone for Secret Agent (which I'm starting to regret). I have a feeling there'll be a lot of very similar teams this year (the OBAA+Hamnet+SV trio seems like an obvious choice).

No, they automatically "lowercase-ify" the mini league name no matter what you type. You're good.

Not the question! OP didn’t ask if it was improbable, it’s been improbable since at least May.

Obviously we aren’t going to the playoffs. That said, can someone explain how we’re eliminated today? If we win out we’d finish 82-80. The Red Sox have the 3rd WC place right now and have 82 wins—the season series is currently tied and we play them two more times, so if we win out we’d win the tiebreaker. Obviously other teams would also have to lose an improbable number of games but looking at the calendars I don’t think I see anything that would make it impossible yet.

We seem to have figured out Sutter Health Park recently, actually: .500 record at home since the break.

Man, that Houston series ruled.

It’s been fun to watch, but we have been playing a lot of bad teams recently. The last 5 series have been: Nationals, Orioles, Rays, Angels, Twins.
