Maybe Seattle actually is collapsing..? You can't lose to the Rangers right now. Lucky for them, Baltimore also lost last night. The other AL Central teams are most liklely a non-factor now, so I think it's only Baltimore that have a chance of catching Seattle if they blow it.

It's decided then! Claymore is next on the reading list after I finish Death Note

I dunno, I'm getting a bit skeptical of Cleveland now. They're certainly winning a lot of games here in September, but the AL Central is such a weak division. They've been playing some pretty bad teams (in and outside the division) this month. They might not fair as well when they start playing good teams in the postseason. The Jays won last night, Vladdy walked it off in the 10th. And Judge didn't homer. Yay!

re: Death Note: I was getting bored for a bit there after Light went into hiding, but the investigation into Yotsuba and the ensuing trap to capture Higuchi renewed my interest. Those chapters were pretty exciting. Light getting ahold of the notebook and regaining his memories--that evil look that flashes across his face in the helicopter--was worth the wait. My interest level has dropped a bit since the introduction of Mello and Near, not sure if I like either of them yet... but I am curious to see what happens next. I'm at chapter 65. Sayu's just been rescued (unless they end up dying anyways? ) and the notebook is apparently going to fly away on a missile... I've been thinking about reading that after Death Note... Haven't made up my mind yet though

But... Seattle's remaining 10 games are against terrible teams, all at home in Seattle. This is a perfect opportunity to get going right again.

I started watching the first episode of this last night but I was kinda drunk and very tired and don't remember anything about it I will try again another night.

I'm not sure it's possible for the M's to blow it... who's going to catch them? Baltimore? I have my doubts about that... The Jays finally won a game today..! I can't watch this team play at The Trop. Nothing good ever happens for the Jays there

That was a very solid finish to LycoReco. But Yurei Deco might still be AOTS for me. Kind of splitting hairs at this point though. Two very, very good anime originals in one season! Also, Shadows House Season 2 was far better than the first season IMHO. Watched it with the kiddo and we enjoyed it a lot.

I started reading Death Note this week. Not entirely sure why... to see what all the fuss is about, I guess? Boredom? I'm about 40 chapters in, so I'm zipping through it pretty quick. There are some interesting ideas and characters. But it's also kinda dumb. Given what I already know about how Platinum End finished, my expectations are very low

New Gundam series coming this Fall!!! There is a prologue episode up on the Gundam YT channel. Gonna watch it tonight. How did I not notice this until today!?!

Everybody's doing it (I think?) so let's all post more maybe? What's the situation like where you live? Business as usual? Everything shutdown? Somewhere in between? What are you doing to keep from getting too bored / going crazy? etc.

Yurei Deco miiiiiiight be AOTS. I'm not sure yet. I have a couple gripes with the final episode, but the final scene was really satisfying and made me forget about my complaints about... --- I also have pretty high hopes for the final episode of LycoReco. Please don't disappoint me! Two very solid anime originals in one season. I've really enjoyed both of these shows

In the end, Texas wasn't of more help, but he Angels took two games from Seattle! Toronto has a very thin lead at the front of the WC race. They get a much needed off-day tomorrow, and then they're off to Philly. That won't be an easy series, though the Phils are on a bit of a losing skid here...

Friday night: Jays WIN Rays LOSE M's LOSE Thank you, Texas and LAA! edit: Jays win again on Saturday afternoon! Can Texas and/or LAA help me out again tonight???

I'm not sure about that. The Guardians came into Toronto a few weeks ago and beat the Jays quite badly. They're a scrappy team that gets a lot of balls in play, and they have very solid pitching. They won't be a pushover, if they win the ALC. I don't have much hope for the White Sox or Twins. For me, the nightmare scenario would be: Jays finish #5 and Tampa is #4. I want absolutely nothing to do with a 3-game series at the Trop If the season was finished today, the Jays would go to Seattle for a 3-gamer. That would be fun! West Coast Jays fans will try to take over the Seattle stadium as usual, but I have a feeling the M's fans will try to keep all the tickets for themselves to keep the Jays fans out.

The Jays took 3 of 5 from the Rays this week. I wanted that last game so badly--to take 4 of 5--but the Jays went out there yesterday and got their butts kicked Oh well, still a series win. Seattle has the thinnest of leads in the WC standings right now. Here's what's going down this weekend: The Jays host the O's for 3 games The Rays are back in Tampa and have the Rangers coming to town for 3 games The M's are headed to LA for 4 games against the Angels Most importantly, the Jays need to take care of business in Baltimore. But if Texas and LAA could help a bit and hand the Rays and M's a few losses, that would be much appreciated too!

Chainsaw Man #104

I was gonna check that out this weekend Also, new episodes of Bastard!! hit Netflix this week, so I guess I'll continue watching that too.

Rays, M's, and Jays are all staying pretty hot. The M's went up on the Jays by a half game yesterday I don't think the O's are going to play themselves back into this race, and the ALC teams probably don't have much of a hope either, unless one of Tampa, Seattle, or Toronto really collapses. If they all keep winning they it's going to come down to wire to determine WC seeding. 7-3, 7-3, and 8-2 in their last 10 games for Tampa, Seattle, and Toronto respectively. The Jays' series this week against Tampa is massive.

Deerhoof dropped a catchy new track yesterday

Akane-banashi I am happy to read that Earthchild is over. Phew. I’ll read that chapter later. I’m pretty pumped for the next chapter of PPPPPP ! What is Sorachika’s playing going to be like?

NO

Yeah, these games coming up against Tampa and Baltimore are massive. All they have to do is win most of those games (easier said than done, of course) and they can: a) keep Baltimore out of the Wild Card; and b) maybe leapfrog Tampa in the WC standings. There is also a series left against NYY, and they've been slumping badly, so maybe the division is still in play even for Toronto if they can get really hot here. It seems doubtful, but you never know. Mixed in there, Toronto also has games left against Pittsburgh and Texas, which in theory should be easier wins... but this team just got swept by LAA and then struggled to eke out a series win against the Cubs, so nothing is easy right now These guys better fucking take care of business in Pittsburgh this weekend!!!

Well that is lame.

What is the BBCode for that..?
