I was just saying to Lyle, I'm a little and more also. Good morning, Lyle, good morning, Mora. I'm a little grumpier than normal today. I had two different rounds of sleep interrupted by Gertrude, my dog. I'm home alone. It's just me and Gertie this week. The kids are on spring break, so they're out and Heather's gone, all that. And like, taking my nap yesterday. And I thought, you know, I'll sleep upstairs in the main floor since there's nobody else around. And I'll get to nap with Gertie for a change, which is great. And she gets herself all snuggled into the lap pocket, which is great. And I fall asleep. And then she wakes up to start vomiting. Like, oh, thanks. You haven't vomited in months, but why wouldn't you start as soon as I start sleeping? I never got back to sleep. And then last night she kept waking me up and pawing at me to try to let her under the covers where she likes to, I don't know, deprive herself of oxygen or something. So I'm perhaps grumpier than normal.

And so I will start today by ranting rather than by celebrating because most of the day is going to be celebration of the Mariners and their sweep and taking care of the Astros.

And we got a lot to get to there.

Plus, it's nearly Vetter Cup time.

Lyle, tonight the Vetter Cup starts in earnest in San Diego. It should be great. So we'll get to that in just a moment. Because I went to the cracking game last night, and I'm just, I wrote it last night. I actually tweeted. I almost never do. But I was so, honestly, the word is flummoxed. I was flummoxed. Do you know what that means, Lyle? They teach you flummoxed at ASU? Probably not. It means I was confused. I was baffled by the game that I watched last night for the crack. And in some ways, it was exactly the same as every other cracking game I've watched. They got down 3-0. They made a bunch of sloppy mistakes. They played okay. But then

they would just make an unforgivable turnover that would lead to a goal. They didn't really

put a tremendous amount of pressure on anybody. And then they came back and got back into the game

and made a close at 3-2 before giving

up a couple more goals and ultimately losing 5-3 or and you're like okay i've seen this movie

a million times fine and by the way they should lose at this point they've been eliminated

from contention by all means lose get yourself a better chance in the lottery and try to get Gavin McKenna, which would be awesome, right?

He's a potential legitimate star player.
