(Baseball nerd alert:)

It's a great statistic that the @astros/@RedSox #ALCS features the second-most combined wins ever for opponents in a @MLB playoff series (211).

But if you go by winning %age instead of wins, it isn't even one of the top 20 all-time best playoff matchups.
Indeed, eight of the first 10 World Series featured teams with a higher combined winning percentage than their 0.651 (211/324), topped by 1906, in which the Cubs and White Sox had a combined winning percentage of 0.690.

Over a 162-game season, that would = 223.5 combined wins.
And even since baseball went to a 162-game schedule in 1961, the 2018 Astros & Red Sox have only the fourth-best total winning percentage of playoff opponents, behind the 1995 Braves & Indians (0.660); the 2001 Mariners & Yankees (0.655), and the 1998 Yankees & Padres (0.654).

With no noted dissents, #SCOTUS summarily denies stay sought by the unnamed, foreign government-owned corporation arising from a contempt citation for defying a grand-jury subpoena related to the Mueller investigation:

supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…

This is not a surprising result.
As a result, the accumulation of the contempt fine will resume—which should presumably put (increasing) pressure on the mystery foreign government-owned corporation to either comply with the subpoena or to otherwise cooperate with the Soecial Counsel in exchange for dropping it.
This doesn’t end the appeal; the mystery corporation can still ask #SCOTUS to take the case on the merits. But the denial of the stay (and the absence of any noted dissents) is a pretty strong signal that the Justices are inclined to sit this one out.

A reminder that we could hear from #SCOTUS as early as today with respect to whether it will continue or vacate Chief Justice Roberts’s administrative stay of the contempt citation against the unnamed foreign company that apparently defying a Mueller-related grand jury subpoena.
For a thorough explainer on how we got here and what the issues (probably) are, see this @just_security post by @KeitnerLaw:

There must just not have been room in the headline for “and repeatedly stalking and harassing her after she said no.”

Come on, @NRO—do better.
For the numerous ways @nro has quietly backpedaled from this preposterous headline, see @MaxKennerly’s thread:

@NRO has now deleted the tweet with the preposterous headline, but here’s a screenshot:

#Series ¡Me gustó la música de #Versailles! He terminado las dos primeras temporadas de esta ambiciosa serie de #ficciónhistórica disponible en @NetflixLAT, y ya espero la tercera y última temporada. En este hilo compartiré una apreciación personal del #Score y del #Soundtrack.
En primer lugar va la intro, es tan poderosa, que no usé en ningún episodio la opción de saltar intro o adelantarla. Es un tema compuesto por los franceses @M83 llamado #Outro. Se puede escuchar en @Spotify - @SpotifyColombia :

O si prefieren en @YouTube.
