The Phillies in general and Nola (and Dombrowski) in particular are grandly illustrative of the Sunk Cost Fallacy. I feel the same about the tickets I have for next weekend; it’s unlikely to be pretty or entertaining but the money’s been spent, so…
Just got off phone with Comcast/Xfinity- over $30/mo to add tier w/Marlins & Rays games to my cable service. I can get Marlins thru MLB.tv for $99/season. Or save $ and stick with free MLB.tv. All I watch are Phillies games anyway. Nope, Comcast.
Plenty of seats available. Cold Monday night, so understandable. Mostly seniors. Quiet despite best efforts of the in-game host. Very few kids. They probably know better.
With the Phillies… okay, a bunch of minor leaguers in Phillies uniforms, plus a smattering of regulars in town to play the Nationals, it seemed appropriate to drop by. It’s cold, by Florida standards, anyway.
Just wondering WTF is going on atop Greg Bovino’s head. Bald below, weeds on top. Looks like negative image male pattern baldness. He can’t possibly look in the mirror and think, yeah, lookin’ good. Also, he’s sniffing a lot.
Here’s my last column, a farewell review of what passes for my career. I’m done. If you’ve read my column over the last 30 or so years, thank you. I’ll go now.

The station that proved you can milk decades of success superserving very angry people. Sorry for those losing their employment, but can't say I'll miss Radio Mambi. Besides, it's unlistenable here in PBC, unless you like electrical interference.

Listened to a few mins of Erick Erickson insisting that Medicare for All is dangerous because, I don't know, Communism, then Clay Travis & Sex Buckton explaining how war would be good because of lower oil prices and, I don't know, Communism. Talk radio, everybody!
Just called to make a doctor's appointment, got an AI "agent" that kept veering from English to Spanish and wanted a LOT of information. Then the doc's office called and asked the same questions, because the AI screwed up and made an appointment for the wrong office. F AI.
Incredible voice. What a loss. We got to see/hear him at Tobacco Road in Miami in their last show before heading to Nashville to record their debut album.
It’s with the deepest grief we share the passing of our friend, bandmate and brother Raul Malo on December 8th, 2025 at the age of 60.

Now, then, who's in the Bush's Best Boca Raton Bowl of Beans? (Louisville-Toledo, saved you a click you weren't going to make anyway.) (Yes, that's the game's official name, "Bowl of Beans." Tix start at $38. I live 20 minutes away. You couldn't pay me enough to go.)
