I’ll trust you. Just worn out after the merry-go-round we’ve been on for so long.

Love your work, but couldn’t we have said almost exactly the same thing a year ago?

It was a Zombie Jamboree!

Similar thing happened Wednesday in a WNBA game at Atlanta.

Second time in a week. It’s a trend, albeit a very weird one.

He must never shake the Epstein files and sexual abuse stories. They need
to be the topic of 24-hour-a-day coverage until he’s dumped from power, follow him to the grave and beyond, then attach to all his enablers.

Challenges also have to be
called for immediately and while it’s possible a pitcher could challenge it, the time factor might impact it also. Not disagreeing with the concept, just don’t know how feasible that sort of challenge is.

As someone who has been an official scorer throughout the challenge system’s time in AAA, I suggest it’s much more likely pitches like ball four or strike three will be challenged. It might have happened, but I don’t recall seeing a SB challenge because the catcher is often too busy to judge it.

Definitely

I thought that too, but looked at Baseball Reference and sure enough Morgan spent the 1980 season with the Astros. I don’t remember that stint.

The last party I want weighing is WAPO.

Showing my age, but I’m partial to Kessinger-Beckert.

My personal approval rating for Ron just jumped to 100.

First an ill-conceived, idiotic, tone-deaf hot take
regarding a subject you know nothing about. The inevitable reaction is massively negative. Then a stream of petulant, obnoxious, defensive posts follows. Just go away.

I like you’re thinking, but my guess is no. Might even increase his coverage and give more of a shield for the regime.

I tried but couldn’t make it through the tens of thousands of words in this soporific tome. Was there any point to it other than litigating the past Biden being old?

How fantastic that people having a fit about the price of eggs (or whatever) doomed us to forever chemicals.

I know exactly what you mean. I appreciate the song and the era in which it was created but no need to mention the inspiration.

Thank you for bringing up these songs. I recently discovered one I was unfamiliar with, He’s Misstra Know It All. Don’t know how I lived without it.

Haven’t followed this case since these guys had hair, but is there any justification for this (aside from the fact that criminality and shittiness is perfectly acceptable in 2025 America)?

Setting the New York Times’ euphemisms and sanewashing aside for a moment, day by day and piece by piece the NHL makes it harder for me to support a product I’ve loved dating to the late 60s. If it’s not this it’s rampant sexual abuse charges, disgraced coaches/execs rehired, jingoism. Long list.

They probably use Sharpies instead of Doppler.
