What am I gonna watch now that baseball season is over?
Early october is a rough time of year for me, what with no sports on. MLB season has ended and hoops season is still weeks away. Sad.
Guys, I'm never gonna root for your dumb teams. It's my dumb teams or nothing. As it should be.
This reminds me: I really need to write a column about the disgusting pervs who root for 2 teams (or, gasp, even more!) in the same sports league. Talk about destroying the Common Good. Smh.
Every time someone says "yeah, I'm a huge packers, browns, & bucs fan in the NFL, and for baseball it's the Yankees & Braves..." a baby seal dies.

In the latest (2020) World Bank/IHS Markit survey of global port efficiency, the ports of LA & Long Beach - the busiest in the USA, handling 40% of all imports - ranked a dismal 328th and 333rd, respectively. No US port ranked in the top 50.
Can't fix that overnight, folks.
Why do our ports stink? Well, union contracts mandate insanely high wages, rigid work schedules, & express limits on efficiency-enhancing automation. Meanwhile, the Jones Act & other US trade laws restrict port dredging (for more/bigger ships) & stress inland freight operations.
