Give it a few weeks.

Been saying this for years. Country music's swing to Trumpism pisses on the actual history of country music.

Turns out putting the ball in play, going the opposite way, and grinding down pitcher instead of swinging for the fences every at bat results in playoff wins...go figure.

The "new" game baffles me.

It really wasn't long ago that batting sub .230 meant you didn't belong in the Bigs.

Bregman will be their 3rd baseman

bebe-herma.bsky.social @bebe-herma.bsky.social · 17m

Just goes to prove that teams that have a swing from the heels every at bat approach are doomed.

Grinding out ABs, going the other way, and putting the ball in play is winning baseball, especially in the playoffs, just like it always has been.

The Yankees don't understand this.

Fuck exit velo.

...and if he has his way (which he does so far), he'll get knees on the throat of over 200 million Americans.

I'm thinking about all the soldiers who gave their lives in WWII only to have their ultimate sacrifice spat upon by a two-bit draft dodging huckster and his cadre of fascist, Nazi ghouls.

Whitehouse is a very good Senator. Rhode Island should be proud.

By all accounts, this dude is a real sad sack of shit.

An utter embarrassment to Ireland.

ICE officers who have been sent to incite violence and create problems where there are none.

And the Washington Post will gladly look the other way as Bezos bends the knee, throws journalistic integrity in the trash, and cashes in on this unholy shitshow.

The WaPo as we knew it, is dead and gone.

It's the show trial Trump has demanded.

We are watching almost exactly a replay of Hitler's rise to power.

Same tactics, same rhetoric, same dehumanization, incition of violence, little REichstag Fires everywhere, even the same sayings ("poisoning the blood", etc.).

We're living in Trumpistan now

To them, we got owned. That's all they've been led to care about. They cackle with glee at the insolence and disrespect.

An ex-junkie with brain worms, who dropped a bear carcass in Central Park, chopped off a whale head and tied it to the roof of his car, is a conspiracy nut who's been disavowed by the Kennedy clan, and has ZERO background in public health or medicine is in charge of the Country's well being?

Fuck!

Is this even a question? The answer is Martial law. Dissent will be crushed. Any American who doesn't swear fealty to King Douche will be branded as an "enemy of the people".

How do I know this? I paid attention to history, this exact scenario always plays out the same.

But...Sic Temper Tyrannis.

It still blows my mind that we're being governed by petty, vindictive, petulant, lying toddlers, who are only in it for their own grift.

Pathetic cruelty and obsequience, all in the name of a two-bit, incurious huckster selling America snake oil.

and his supporters are so willfully blind to it.

I'm sure she'll say the same thing about the crime addled streets of Boston.

Nothing more enjoyable to me than Actors discussing films they love or Musicians discussing music that influenced them. You can find a real sense of their passion.

This is a great example of it.

Serious question, it was the front of his body, but he still had Maye inside the collar and shoulder pads. Is it only a horse collar from behind??

There was also a punt return where it looked like Marcus Jones was clotheslined. No penalty there either.

I saw a vid of him today and was very surprised. I didn't think he could leave his coffin until nightfall.

Saw him a few times.

Great blues guitar player with an awesome voice.
Not a great songwriter, but not a lot of those in the first place.

Honestly though, both times I saw him (once near the end when he was very frail), I found myself, after 30 minutes, having my thoughts be "What else you got?"

Yup. His debutante ball for sure!

Don't threaten me with a good time.

People don't like Naples, as it isn't super tourist friendly and has a lot of grit and ugly architecture.

Personally, I love the cacophony of the City. Naples is real.

Yes!!

But we need to discuss the grave, important issues facing the Nation first.

Such as whether a Hispanic Citizen is will bring the country to it's knees by performing at the Super Bowl.

"When" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

They're working hard to ensure there won't be a free or fair election come the mid-term.

I predict a serious Reichstag Fire moment not long before the election.

Then he'll suspend the election "until we can get to the bottom of this" i.e. never.
