Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, DeForest Kelley guest stars in "The Legion of Old Timers," episode 5 of the first season of The Lone Ranger (original air date October 6, 1949).

Kelley plays Bob Kittredge, a tenderfoot from back East who's just inherited his late father's ranch. He falls prey to a con man who drives away the ranch's faithful foreman (the eponymous "old timer") and tries to sell the land out from under him. The Lone Ranger, Tonto, and the old foreman ride to the rescue and good triumphs over evil until next week's episode.

Since there are no other Trek connections, allow me to just ramble a bit about The Lone Ranger and me. I've never seen the 1949-57 TV series before, but I'm told it was one of my Grandpa's favorites. I also never saw the 2013 movie, but people assure me I didn't miss much. This was around the time I was thinking, “Gore Verbinski and Johnny Depp could use a break from each other,” and “Tim Burton and Johnny Depp could use a break from each other.”

The 1980 Filmation animated series was part of my regular Saturday morning cartoon experience as a little kid. I don't have a ton of clear memories of it, except that characters from American history made guest appearances/cameos, and it was part of a larger series with Tarzan and Zorro.

Several kids I knew had these Lone Ranger action figures, and they were really high quality. One line from the TV commercial jingle (set to the tune of the William Tell overture that became the Lone Ranger theme) went, “Let him ride in a covered wagon; let him hold a rifle in his hand,” and still gets stuck in my head decades later. One issue with this is that I've never been able to find a recording or video of this commercial ever since it aired in the 1980s. Another is that I, being unfamiliar with the term “covered wagon” at the time, thought he was riding in something called a “cupboard wagon” and immediately pictured the wagon from the Chuck Wagon dog food commercials (which, in all fairness the Lone Ranger action figure could have easily ridden in).

When I was a teenager, one of my mother's best friends married a man who claimed to be a cousin of Jay Silverheels, the actor who played Tonto. I have no idea if there was any merit to his claim. He had a signed picture of them together, but if every celebrity someone had a signed picture with was their cousin, the world would be a big, weird family.

Anyway, season's greetings from Tonto, Tarzan, and Frankenstein.

take a shot everytime I give a ranger red hair and a ton of freckles and lots of piercings and the archery gloves and I can't remember where this was going because I got drunk immediately

Raedon's Aquatic Arcana

Once again inspired by Tears of the Kingdom, I've made a couple new spells, both of which work very nicely together thematically and mechanically!

(I know it's a bit strange to give rangers a spell attack, but thematically I feel it's important for them to have it given the inspiration)

Manfred wants to add two new teams to the MLB, bringing the team total to 32 (one AL, one NL respectively). Where would you like to see a team added? Or where would you not like to see one added?

I, for one, would love to see MLB return to Montréal!

2024 MLB Season Charts (All Star Break)

Ever want a nice visualization of every team's current position in the standings? Ever wonder about how many notable streaks every team has so far this season? Ever think to yourself, "just how bad could the 2024 White Sox really be?"

Then these charts are for you!

In my spare time (man have I had so much spare time), I've been working on compiling every MLB team's wins and losses into individual charts, because sometimes just numbers isn't enough to really grasp how a season is going. And, as special treat inspired by the Twins' 12 game winning streak, I also highlighted every notable streak. A notable streak here is defined as a streak of 4 or more games, winning or losing. Streaks of 3 games or less will not be highlighted. Each team's longest streak will also be noted.

(Note that I'm only one guy, so there may be some mistakes. If the mistakes are large enough, I'll try to fix them.)

These charts will only be including the start of the regular season up to the All Star Break. I hope to keep them all updated as the season goes on and chart the entire season for every team, but we'll see how life goes.

For now, here are the current charts. Since there are 30 MLB teams, I've split the charts into several posts based on each division and went into detail about some trends I noticed with each team season so far.

AL Central

AL East

AL West

NL East

NL Central

NL West

And for those who want an MLB-wide summary, look no further than below the cut!

First, current best and worst teams:

This probably doesn't come as much of a surprise. The Phillies currently have the best record, being 28 games above .500. Meanwhile, the White Sox have the worst record and are 44 games below .500. Ouch.

Team with the most notable streaks:

The White Sox win this category with a whole 11 notable streaks, including the one they're on now. However, with only one of those a winning streak, they prove that the title of most streaks doesn't necessarily mean best record.

Runner-ups include the Yankees (9), Marlins (8), and the Rockies (8).

Team with the least notable streaks:

The Reds only have 3 notable streaks with just one being a losing streak. Though with that streak being an 8 game losing streak, it certainly can't be ignored.

Runner-ups: Guardians (4), Rays (4), Blue Jays (4), Cardinals (4), and Pirates (4).

Team with the most notable winning streaks:

The Yankees get this title, as 7 of their 9 notable streaks are winning ones. In fact, before the end of June, all they had were notable winning streaks. It's only in the past few weeks that they got their first notable losing streaks.

Runner-ups: Royals (5), Orioles (5), Red Sox (5), Mariners (5), Phillies (5), Braves (5), Brewers (5), Dodgers (5).

Team with most notable losing streaks:

The White Sox have a whopping 10 notable losing streaks. Of course, you've seen this chart already, so not much else to add here.

Runner-ups: Marlins (7) and Rockies (7).

Team with longest winning streak:

Now for the streak that helped inspire this whole thing. The Twins of course have the longest winning streak so far this season with 12 straight wins. Good times, good times.

Runner-ups: Guardians (9), Royals (8), and Yankees (8).

Team with longest losing streak:

Yup, you knew it, so here we are again. The White Sox had a whole 14 game losing streak this season, and it sticks out like a giant red sore thumb on their chart.

Runner-ups: Athletics (9), Marlins (9), and Reds (8).

Teams with no notable losing streaks:

We actually have three teams who currently do not have a notable losing streak. Extra points go to the Phillies and Brewers who have five notable winning streaks to the Guardians' four.

A team's chart I just had to point out:

The Mariners get an extra special shout out for having 7 notable streaks and all of them being just four games long, the minimum to be counted as a notable streak. Funny stuff.

And some last stats:

Every team has at least one notable winning streak, even the White Sox! Yay for all of us!

The average amount of notable streaks per team is 6.13 streaks.

The average amount of notable winning streaks per team is 3.2 streaks.

The average length of the longest streak per team is 6.9 games.

Join me at the end of the season when I (maybe) do the full 2024 season!

Mouse, to Ranger: Your dad is killing me.

Jay: If it helps, it’s not intentional.

Mouse: Oh, good. So it’s only second degree homicide.

Jay: I could probably get it reduced to manslaughter.

Mouse: You can’t afford that good of a lawyer.

Jay: Yeah, but I have this face. Who’s gonna look at this face and call me a murderer?

Mouse: My loved ones. My mom, who *can* afford a good lawyer.

Jay: Yeah, but would your mom really put in that effort?

Mouse: ………no.
