Oh man they’ve done that at several intersections! I got a (camera) ticket southbound at Jefferson and Broad for being attentive enough to know that cross traffic had the left so I had a functional free right.

Also right by the distillery/in front of the stadium.

What was Justin Verlander’s batting average the year he won MVP?

(There’s more to baseball and the value of a player than just the hitting part. That’s why there’s already a separate award for best hitter.)

This is right up there with nobody ever making “The Golden Tate Warrior” happen.

Still don’t understand why we haven’t nicknamed J.P. Crawford “The Pope.”

I just texted my cousin that I can’t remember a ball being hit there. I remember some Griffey lasers off the cafe glass that didn’t have the height, but that’s all I’m coming up with.

How are there people who don’t love sports.

On the bright side, we’re about two innings away from a completely hammered announcer booth.

Anyway, I’d be ECSTATIC if something was finally done about this.

Anyway, yesterday afternoon as I was driving away from work down First, I saw one of these losers and just casually flipped him off. He pointed at me and scowled. It accomplished absolutely nothing except making me feel 2% better.

Oh man, let me tell you… Since I own a business that is open to the public on weekends and is about 100 yards from the SW entrance to the stadium, this has been my bane for more than a decade.

I’ve even tried to lodge noise complaints with the city and asked the traffic cops about it. Nothing.

My all-time fave is the guy I saw wearing a Mariners Pokey Reese jersey.

Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman remembered as funny, savvy and 'a true leader' Friends and colleagues remembered her as grounded, kind and compassionate.

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

When in doubt, bring the dog home, is my point.

I got home from traveling last night, and I almost decided I was too tired to go drive out to retrieve the dog today and almost asked them to keep him till tomorrow. But I went and got him, and now he’s upstairs sleeping and I’m watching baseball, and that’s as good as it’s going to get right now.

Acts of political violence aren’t acceptable. Non-political school shootings aren’t acceptable. Sacking the legislature isn’t acceptable. Military occupation of peaceful American cities isn’t acceptable. Abductions conducted in courthouse hallways by masked agents of the state aren’t acceptable.
