For anyone interested in keeping score, my elation before realizing that this could actually be a detriment rather than improvement to my life circumstances lasted 27 Material Plane minutes.

In case you're curious who DIDN'T fall... here's a list! (Assuming the pool was taken from the end-of-Season 24 rosters.) docs.google.com/document/d/1y0…

I'm loving all of the stats people blindly guessing how good the teams are right now. Shoutout in particular to the one who spoke positively of me in praise of my "lack of wear and tear". Not sure if they realized that was actually both insensitive and damning faint praise. 😂

I have little idea what the fuck is going on but I'm batting and apparently not terrible, so off to a good start...?

Yeah this season is a fucking mess, on both the Material and Immaterial Plane side of things. I'll take some time to explain more later, for now I'm going to enjoy swinging at the ball and more often than not striking out. Could not have asked for a better first season back. 😊

I don't get to enjoy a SINGLE thing for even ONE moment, do I? Because now I have to worry about this shit. I would say "unbelievable", but it's entirely too believable, which is the problem. Incinerations 2, the sequel nobody asked for.

Well, thought about it more and I'll just deal with it I guess. Life is ephemeral, every moment is a blessing, blah blah blah. If someone wants to crash into me and take my place - again - fine, I have no control over that. But I can make the most out of whatever time I have.😤

It happens to be the case that I this blessing wouldn't target me- I'm one of the safest members of the Tacos as they currently exist. But man, it hurts to see this and know that someone else is going to have to go through what I did. Not just the exile, but the insult too.

Holy shit that cat just cratered Peterson like five meters away from the dugout. Knowing that this could happen to me is one thing, but seeing it this close is unreal

Not surprised by any of this so far.

Long matches, like that 26 inning spectacle just now, are freakish nightmares for a pitcher but absolutely nothing for batters. We spend like fully 75% of our time (at least!) chilling and vibing with each other in the dugout. Never put me on the mound again, thanks!!!

Congratulations LA Unlimited Tacos! You are now in #PARTYTIME!

But didn't manage to steal someone's spot on their team this time 🙂

Would the Tacos even be happy to see me come back?
