I remember that line-up, and thinking to myself, how any team playing against them could even begin to conceive of winning.

I'm on the East Coast, been a Red Sox fan since 1975, but there is just something about Mariners ⚾ Can't explain it, but if you have it, you know it, & 🛑fighting it. Enjoy it.

All respect to your beliefs.

I was born in 1958, raised in a town in KY with 116 people, my dad was the Minister, a pedo, and trafficked me to other church members, for a # of reasons he got from his bible. I finally escaped at age 10.

Now, I try to help others who went thru what I did. Many did.

Thanks for posting this.

I haven't eaten at McDonald's in, gee, I bet it's been at least 15 or more years. I can't remember the last time we've had fast food, it's too darn expensive.

Would be nice to win a prize. If I win a food prize, I'll donate it to the homeless shelter who can always use it

mcdonal is doing the monopoly thing again and if you didn't know, it's considered a sweepstakes which means they need what's called an "alternative method of entry" for people who don't want to pay. you can request free game pieces (which occasionally are free food) 5 times per day here

I was also raised in a so-called Christian home, So. Baptists. I became an atheist at age 4, and shunned their hate for all who were not white men around the same age. I was beaten by my father into unconsciousness many times because I questioned his pulpit teachings vs his real life actions.

Their parents raised them not to act smart and not ask questions. I am a Christian, but I saw them do it many times in churches, so I am sure it was relentless at home.

Maria Corina Machado, the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize praised Trump & dedicated her win to him. Smart. She knows if you flatter Trump he will do what you want & she needs U.S. support to get rid of Maduro. BTW Marco Rubio was part of a group that nominated her for the prize.
