Autograph of the Day: Darren "Dutch" Daulton. One of my heroes growing up who played behind the plate.

I modeled my own catching career behind Daulton and Gary "The Kid" Carter.

How many attorneys have been disbarred now for their dealings with DJT?

And I've got a feeling that the interim US Attorney that just got hammered by the Eastern District of Virginia is going to be added to this list.

At some point, you'd look at the history and go, "umm. no thank you."

Hope everyone is well. I get distracted way too easy and forget Blue Sky exists. :/

Today I won 12 whole yankee dollars from the county fair for a poem and a short story.
Two red ribbons... Problem with subjective judging is that it is in fact subjective. a different judge might have blued me across the board.
Love all y'all.

Big news. I've been writing for the Meade County Messenger. Who would have thought that #printjournalism would still be a thing in 2025?

Yay local interest/local sports.

Women's Lacrosse is one of the more fun sports I've encountered. I'm learning it quickly - eventually, I hope I'm half as good at LAX as I am at soccer.

Last night's lacrosse match was the opposite of "domination but winning 1-0" it was "holy shit this game is closer htan the score board shows" The difference goal keeping made.

Had to send a player off. Some slashing and some cross checking and the tempers were a-flaring.

That's not a photograph of Louisville Slugger Field...
On April 9, 2001, the first game was played at the most beautiful ballpark in baseball.

Kept score book tonight.

I’m out of practice.

the cubs could wear these electric blue kits for the rest of the season, and into forever and I wouldn't be mad.

the rain took my tournament pay this weekend by causing us to cancel a 9 game schedule.

I've got some cards and stuff on my ebay store and other misc stuff. Take a look, see if thre's anything you might need/want on there. I've a 450 budget shortfall to make up for.

This bullpen is gonna be the death of me.

Surely there's some dudes in fucking AAA or AA or hell independent ball that can throw fucking strikes, right?

My name is Dave, and I'm a kit snob.

The Sedona Red jerseys with teal nameplates and front numbers and black team names and back numbers look terrible.

Do better Arizona.

Because we're not going to post our way out of Fascism. So we might as well enjoy shit when we can.

Also, I mainly talk about sports because (see name) it's kinda how I make my living.
Why are we talking sports here on BlueSky? Democracy is literally blowing up. We need to resist #resist

Lets go old school, Signal Affair.
Look, everyone, it’s been more than fifty years since Warergate. Attaching -gate to every scandal or potential scandal is just cringe.

Let’s call it: Signal Dome.

What a knock by Tucker!
March 30, 2025 at 1:24 AM
Tucker 2/2.

Everyone else is having a shite day so far.

Not going to blame the umpire, the paint job that Imanaga has been doing has been a touch high. I agree with JDS about not yelling about them.
