You can count on me to turn my back on the pierogis. As far as spending time with Livy Dunne, mercy! I’d be arrested for excessive ogling.

The Astros have renamed their ballpark yet again. Starting in January, Minute Maid Park will be known as Daikin Park.

Stand across the room and look at her through binoculars, and pretend you're at home. I think it would be ironic if you were eating a plate of pierogies while you were turning your back on the race!

I have a strict policy that I don’t eat food that’s running so I’d have no problem eating the pierogis sitting on a plate. As for peering at Livvy through binoculars, that would be like eating the pierogis while they were still inside the box.

I'm hoping to get the card, and I know already what I'll do:

I'll take requests for games. I don't know if I have 30 years, but I'm banking on at least a good run within that realm. Will get a chance to fill every request with the people I know. It won't even take a full season, I don't know that many people. But certainly there's a few on this site. We can all watch each other on the broadcasts, and see who picks their nose, arrives late, leaves early, turns their backs on the pierogi race, dances, and count how many trips to the snack bar for candy, hot dogs, nachos, and pop they make.

IDK how the softball game will work, but that will be mostly going to kids I know here that play ball, and of course Mister Man, who has never played ball, but who cares, it's one game. It's for 30 people, so there will be a couple of adults invited. For certain Doc gets an invite to that.

The ST tour, batting practice, and meet and greet, of course I'll be taking Mister Man, and hopefully I could do it and also be able to go to the Daytona 500, it's just a couple hours drive across Florida.

The two Skenes jerseys, one I'll keep for Mister Man, the other will go to Mrs. Wizard.

The game with Ms. Dunne, of course I'll go, and depending on how many I get to bring, I already have a list of names. I'm guessing, it's only one person, but who knows, those suites have 19 people.

If you're buying those cards and win it, remember I invited you to some of it!
Mrs. Wizard says she would be honored!

MLB.com is reporting that the Dodgers will be meeting with Juan Soto this week because, you know, they sure could use a bat in their line-up.
