Because I was curious what blumenthal said, I looked it up.

“we have learned something important since the days I served in Vietnam” that’s his comment. He served during Vietnam not in Vietnam.

If I didn’t know this wasn’t satire, I would say it’s satire.

The guy that originally trafficked Virginia guiffre before she worked at Mar a Lago was also convicted of trafficking Eastern European models.
It is wholly believable that Epstein just took over his client list both on the supply and demand side.

Sanctimonious Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the biggest “joke” in the United States Senate, is at it again! “Dick” lied until the midpoint of his political career, convincing everyone, in particular the Fake News Media, that he was a great “War Hero” who lived on the precipice of death in the jungles of Vietnam. He would talk about his life in the military in almost every speech, in particular the death defying dangers he faced in his many years “fight for freedom” while in Vietnam. He stated that “the battles were violent and long, but there was no going back” - And then it happened, Blumenthal was found out to be a FRAUD. The soldiers in his so-called “platoon” came forward and said that they had no idea who this guy was. He was revealed, broke down and admitted, tears flowing from his eyes, that he LIED, a Whopper, one that lasted 20 year. This guy shouldn’t even be in the U.S. Senate. It should be investigated, and Justice should be sought. Right now there is a Congressman sitting in prison for lying about his past during a campaign. Well, those lies were nothing compared to those of Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the greatest phony in the history of the United States Senate. He should be allowed to speak no longer!

Trump posts that Sen. Blumenthal “should be allowed to speak no longer”

40 years ago, reading was the main way of obtaining information.
Now it’s like the 5th most accessible way to obtain information.

I hate mlb postseason scheduling.
Wildcard should be two days. Game one Tuesday and a double header Wednesday if needed.
LDS should be Friday and Saturday, then Monday-Wednesday if needed.
LCS then could be Friday Saturday, Monday-Wednesday and Friday Saturday again.
WS should be the same.

Bieber is the only guy that got traded, or even was a target, that’s on a playoff team. And I don’t even know if he’s started a playoff game yet.

There weren’t any playoff arms though.
Everyone’s using their 7th starters

I’d like to listen to this on the radio, but the stupid feeds won’t stay synced.
HBO max keeps falling behind, but then when I hit go live it catches up

It’s just baseball, with everything else going on, I’m going to enjoy what I can enjoy and ignore the parts that suck

It’s been especially annoying this year. Though even when he was signed, we knew homeruns would be an issue. You just hope they’ll be mostly solo shots.
Alas

It was one bad pitch, went inside 1 too many times and missed with an off speed pitch at that

He just threw a bad pitch. He looked good except for that one pitch.

It’s weird that the radio broadcast crowd audio seems to be like 50 people shouting “let’s go brewers!”
