... I am really, seriously having trouble restraining myself from using the word "coven" with regard to the apparent recrudescence of academic librarianship in the form of "New AI" "knowledge engineers" while completing a second comment explaining why the response to my complaint about the phasing out of the old Pubmed interface (apparently a teleological hit and run, or something) was obviously canned.

I have already likened their foundational document to the Edict of Paris (or Fontainebleau). Jesus Christ, I'm old enough to remember the last time these types tried to creepy-crawl the AI lab where I was resident, 30 years ago.

[Edit.     Silly me, I failed to notice that the new "degree" is a so-called MLIS. Just fucking perfect.]

[Edit 2.    

Couldn?t agree moor

It's somehow comforting to know that I still don't understand 90% of what Wheezer posts. Rounding down.

Assuming a one round bump:

Ronald Acu?a Jr (3)
J.D. Martinez (4)
Lance Lynn (8 - FA)
Trevor Bauer (9)
Jose Altuve (10)
Sonny Gray (11 - FA)
Corey Seager (12)
Hyun Jin Ryu (13)
Tim Anderson( 17)
Jonathan Villar  (20)
Nick Senze (22)
Max Kepler (24)

Right now I am watching the ESPN showing of Game 7 of the 2016 World Series.  It is the 8th inning.  I know how the game ended and who won, yet my pulse rate and blood pressure are embarrassingly high.

Miguel Montero's single following Zobrist's double is the most under-appreciated hit in Cubs' history.

... The only thing preventing me from alerting the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists of grievous typos on their site is pure exhaution.

Irony ruling?

I wonder if they'll pick up his $12M option for 2020.

It would have made sense to pinch hit for Hendricks in the top of the sixth if Bote had gotten on base, and you had two on and no outs -- you really need to get a run there. But when he hit a two run homer, he should have stuck with Hendricks. Instead, he needed to get four innings from the pen, and had to bring Strop -- who he doesn't trust in high leverage situations currently -- in with two on and one out in a one run game.

I realize the front office has handed him a shitty bullpen, but his management of it doesn't help.

I know that "funky" beers are all the rage but I've now had two beers that were so fucking "barnyard" it was like they'd just fermented the piss straight out of the horse and now I want to know who the fuck drinks that kind of shit for fun.

Probably Pen.

He needs to go away, now.

He's been optioned to Iowa, and I'd be shocked if you ever see him in a Cubs uniform again.

I'm cool with that.

So says Ken Rosenthal (in an article by Patrick Mooney).

...I have been practicing law wrong all these years.  I read that Kim Kardashian is going to become a lawyer by apprenticing in a law office.  She says that she can do criminal law in her sleep.  And here I have been trying to stay awake in front of juries.  Who knew?

After all these years you're still practicing? Shouldn't you be good enough to actually be a lawyer by now?
