Okay we all know what to do with this. We promote the hell out of the interview.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2mo ago“Jimmy Kimmel Live” has decided against broadcasting an interview on Thursday with James Talarico, the Democratic Senate candidate in Texas, and will instead post it on YouTube. Kimmel said that the show made the decision because the FCC had “threatened” ABC over “traditional editorial decisions.”

APBA 1970 NL Aug 25 StL 100 000 000 - 1 SF 011 100 01x - 4 WP-Pitlock (2-7, 7.21) LP-Carlton (8-16, 5.22) S-McMahon (15) HR-C. Taylor (4) McCovey (20) Baseball Reference rated Cards relief pitching second in the league, but they were last in Saves. I guess it only matters when it counts.
Last night’s Giants’ win is the first time I’ve heard of a home team winning by 2 in extra innings without hitting a home run.
APBA 1970 NL Aug 25 Chi 205 200 000 - 9 LA 000 000 000 - 0 WP-Jenkins (20-11, 3.03) LP-Vance (4-6, 3.87) The ball must have been slippery, as there were 5 wild pitches, and 2 passed balls. Dodgers loss 4th straight-the good old days.
APBA 1970 NL Aug 23 Cin 100 000 101 - 3 NY 000 000 000 - 0 WP-McGlothlin (13-9, 3.96) LP-Seaver (18-7, 2.54) S-Granger (28) Seaver lost 6 of his last 7 decisions in 1970; he might not do the same for me, but his ERA at this point was 2.57. He got the breaks in 1969, but it evened out in 1970.

Phi 100 000 030 -4 Atl 000 100 000 -0 WP-Selma (5-5, 2.71) LP-Reed (4-5, 3.54) HR-H. Aaron (29) Hank's homer was his 5th in the 3-game series.
