I had an incredible time this summer working with the Alfeld Greenhorns #Baseball Club in Germany. I was disappointed that my #German didn't return as much as desired, but working with the teams was the experience of a lifetime. Great times on & off the diamond with new friends who love this game.

If you played and still had a clean uni, we can't be friends.

If you think everyone else has an accent but you & yours do not, @allsidesnow.bsky.social may not be for you. I find the site helpful for understanding our place in the world, just like reading foreign newspapers. See: www.allsides.com

What it looked like when POLANCO GOT A BASES LOADED HIT AND THE MARINERS WON THE ALDS IN THE 15TH INNING

There are few games like it. No clock, no lead safe as long as you have one strike left. All you need is a chip and a chair.

Starters coming out of the bullpen?

Every swing matters.

Nothing beats October baseball.

Nothing.

Retired military public health guy here. This is important. Infectious diseases actually cross state lines and military installation fences.

Apart from undermining military readiness with the destruction of the CDC, national security is also threatened by a sick population.

Yes, to me the inhumanity of The Regime and the harm to the average person is most important.

But to many, the only thing they care about is national security.

Hey @mlb.com congrats on having a great playoff game last night. Super cool that I have to watch highlights because it ended in the middle of the night on the east coast. Most of the boomers were asleep as were most of the kids. Way to take care of your biggest fan base while also growing the game!!

This is unacceptable.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

I had one kid who worked on a farm for a summer. He'd come home late every night covered in dirt and sweat. He'd spend a while on the deck trying to rehydrate and stretch his aching back. Anyone who thought Americans had the skills or desire to take over farming jobs was an IDIOT. wapo.st/48Iuil5

Last night, the Los Angeles Dodgers moved up the playoff steps after defeating the Philadelphia Phillies. We have a game 5 tonight and tomorrow. Who will join them.

I don't have a Cubs cap in my collection so a Knoxville Smokies cap is filling in.
