@j_clem Little promotion, when tickets went on sale, date was TBD (not even a time frame for when the match would be) I think that is a huge reason why more tickets weren’t sold.
Plus on Wednesday night.

@MattCarp13 @TheeRickAnkiel You would have had a .500 OBP with ABS!
I do like it, but it seems like Umpires will be gone soon.

Similar to instant replay, its killed a bit of the drama from a fan experience.

Bad calls are part of life.

So, I’m torn.

@RegionalTVCat How’d they get it back!? Need the story!!

@RachelEReilly @StubHub @stubhub is the worst.

Jeff Bezos on why too many ideas can destroy a company, and the discipline that built Amazon's inventive edge:

"Jeff, you have enough ideas to destroy Amazon."

That's what senior executive Jeff Wilke told Bezos after just one year of working together.

Bezos was confused. He pushed back: "What do you mean?"

Wilke was a manufacturing expert. He explained it simply:

Every new idea Bezos released created a backlog. Work piling up, adding no value, creating distraction instead.

The fix wasn't to stop having ideas. It was to control when they came out:

"You have to release the work at the right rate that the organisation can accept it."

So @JeffBezos changed how he operated.

He started keeping lists, holding ideas back, and waiting until the organisation had the bandwidth to absorb them.

But then he flipped the problem entirely.

He asked: "How do I build an organisation that's ready for more ideas?"

His answer was structural: get the right senior team, give leaders real executive bandwidth, and build a company capable of running multiple bets at once.

And there's a benefit he didn't expect. Slowing down made the ideas themselves better:

"If you are releasing the ideas through time, it forces you to prioritise them better. You end up sharpening the ideas better."

The constraint becomes a filter. The ideas that survive the wait are the ones worth acting on.

The result? Faster execution, less distraction, and better ideas.

@BucketHatSC Why are we all for screaming Blues or Lou?
It’s the worst. Disrespect to the anthem.
Sounds terrible.
Hate it.
But at least Red would make sense at a City game.

Friends-

This is a tough note to write, but since a bunch of you have started to suspect something, I’ll cut to the chase: Last week I was diagnosed with metastasized, stage-four pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die.

Advanced pancreatic is nasty stuff; it’s a death sentence. But I already had a death sentence before last week too — we all do.

I’m blessed with amazing siblings and half-a-dozen buddies that are genuinely brothers. As one of them put it, “Sure, you’re on the clock, but we’re all on the clock.” Death is a wicked thief, and the bastard pursues us all.

Still, I’ve got less time than I’d prefer. This is hard for someone wired to work and build, but harder still as a husband and a dad. I can’t begin to describe how great my people are. During the past year, as we’d temporarily stepped back from public life and built new family rhythms, Melissa and I have grown even closer — and that on top of three decades of the best friend a man could ever have. Seven months ago, Corrie was commissioned into the Air Force and she’s off at instrument and multi-engine rounds of flight school. Last week, Alex kicked butt graduating from college a semester early even while teaching gen chem, organic, and physics (she’s a freak). This summer, 14-year-old Breck started learning to drive. (Okay, we’ve been driving off-book for six years — but now we’ve got paper to make it street-legal.) I couldn’t be more grateful to constantly get to bear-hug this motley crew of sinners and saints.

There’s not a good time to tell your peeps you’re now marching to the beat of a faster drummer — but the season of advent isn’t the worst. As a Christian, the weeks running up to Christmas are a time to orient our hearts toward the hope of what’s to come.

Not an abstract hope in fanciful human goodness; not hope in vague hallmark-sappy spirituality; not a bootstrapped hope in our own strength (what foolishness is the evaporating-muscle I once prided myself in). Nope — often we lazily say “hope” when what we mean is “optimism.” To be clear, optimism is great, and it’s absolutely necessary, but it’s insufficient. It’s not the kinda thing that holds up when you tell your daughters you’re not going to walk them down the aisle. Nor telling your mom and pops they’re gonna bury their son.

A well-lived life demands more reality — stiffer stuff. That’s why, during advent, even while still walking in darkness, we shout our hope — often properly with a gravelly voice soldiering through tears.

Such is the calling of the pilgrim. Those who know ourselves to need a Physician should dang well look forward to enduring beauty and eventual fulfillment. That is, we hope in a real Deliverer — a rescuing God, born at a real time, in a real place. But the eternal city — with foundations and without cancer — is not yet.

Remembering Isaiah’s prophecies of what’s to come doesn’t dull the pain of current sufferings. But it does put it in eternity’s perspective:
“When we've been there 10,000 years…We've no less days to sing God's praise.”

I’ll have more to say. I’m not going down without a fight. One sub-part of God’s grace is found in the jawdropping advances science has made the past few years in immunotherapy and more. Death and dying aren’t the same — the process of dying is still something to be lived. We’re zealously embracing a lot of gallows humor in our house, and I’ve pledged to do my part to run through the irreverent tape.

But for now, as our family faces the reality of treatments, but more importantly as we celebrate Christmas, we wish you peace: “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned….For to us a son is given” (Isaiah 9).

With great gratitude, and with gravelly-but-hopeful voices,
Ben — and the Sasses

@katiejwoo @FabianArdaya Congratulations. Big loss for St Louis.

[Rodney Mueller @rodneyamueller]

@1_LPfannenstiel Good luck on your next journey. We will miss you.

[Rodney Mueller @rodneyamueller]

@dgoold Sigh. There are many elements of the game from a fan experience that instant replay has ruined.
It would have been horrifying if the Series had been determined by instant replay as it could have tonight.
I just hope it never ends an important series.

[Rodney Mueller @rodneyamueller]

@UncleCharlie50 @Dodgers @BlueJays Unreal!!! Unless you’re a Cards fan.

[Rodney Mueller @rodneyamueller]

@herrera_ivan01 It is. Our Cards used to create the crazy games!!!
Hopefully be back at it in 2026.

@STLSoccerNews Has anyone considered that they are on the final rounds of the interview process and are conducting a final onsite interview with team and other personnel to give them the best chance of getting the hire correct?
