ET: On the walk home from dinner, we ran into Friend of the Program and former Splinter editor-in-chief Aleks Chan at a bar nearby. This one was pretty good, I thought.ĩ:10 p.m.

I am not a huge fan of key lime pie, despite being from Florida. ET: We got key lime pie on the house, which was nice. ET: Dinner! It was lovely, we got the following: a bottle of bubbly, a half-dozen oysters, an order of crudo, fish cakes (too much tartar sauce, weirdly), a side of shishito peppers, and this beast of a whole steamed lobster:Ĩ:57 p.m. This is not who you want to find yourself being, really, but I got to see Alabama's Will Reichard miss his potentially game-winning 50-yard kick, and the Hendon Hooker-to-Bru McCoy heave that put Tennessee in position to kick a game-winning field goal of their own, and of course, one of the butt-ugliest but most satisfying game-winning field goals I've ever seen:

ET: While walking to dinner, I got to spend a few minutes as the annoying man streaming the end of the Alabama-Tennessee game on my phone. ET: Checking back in on Astros-Mariners while brushing my teeth. reservations at Greenpoint Fish & Lobster to celebrate her new job.ħ p.m. ET: There was a lull in my attention towards all of the sports, so I went to take a shower and get ready for dinner. I probably do not need to mention that the Astros and Mariners were still in a scoreless tie.ĥ:55 p.m. I switched my brain over to Alabama-Tennessee.

You never want to play a Pirates build on your phone.ĥ:26 p.m. I played as Reno Jackson, and got second place playing a Pirates build. ET: Since the Phillies game seemed safely in hand, I played a game of Hearthstone on my phone. They were not fully cooked when I took them out, so I put them back in for another five minutes.Ĥ:41 p.m. ET: I got hungry, and since we still had three hours until dinner, I put two frozen French bread pizzas into our new air fryer. Rhys comes through!!! /MWqeo75jP5- Philadelphia Phillies October 15, 2022Ĥ:31 p.m. It had stayed close since then, but it was around this time that Philadelphia broke open a 4-2 game, starting with Rhys Hoskins's two-out RBI blooper. ET: I had been watching the Phillies-Braves game since just before J.T. ET: After Drew mentioned in Slack that Alabama was on the ropes, I began to check in on that game on my phone at that point, it was 21-7 Tennessee. Here are the things I did do in the time that it took Houston to score what would end up being the series-deciding run.Ĥ:16 p.m. I did not do that, though-I absolutely would, but I had other plans. You can watch both The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers in that time, and still have some minutes to spare. How could I not? Six hours is a long time. In the time from first pitch until Seattle's final out, I had myself an entire weekend day. Well, extend their postseason they did: It took six hours, 22 minutes, and 18 innings for the Mariners to finally, mercifully, be put to rest. I was hopeful that Seattle would extend its postseason stay at least a little longer with a win on Saturday after dropping the first two games in Houston. I do not really like the Houston Astros, either, and the Seattle Mariners are scrappy and fun in the way that not-that-good teams often are, and had, until running into the Astros, a faint team-of-destiny sense that not-that-good teams sometimes acquire in the postseason. The second playoff game of the day started not too long after Realmuto's dinger-can you call an inside-the-park home run a dinger?-and I had similar rooting interests. I do not really like the Atlanta Braves, so this was fine with me. BEST FREAKING CATCHER IN BASEBALL #RingTheBell /XvhqYfu5bT- Philadelphia Phillies October 15, 2022
