  1. Underrated "B" movie about baseball is the HBO movie "Long Gone" with William Pederson, Dermot Mulroney and Virginia Madsen. Also features Lary Riley who was notable as being the baseball playing murder victim in the film version of "A Soldiers Story". It also features William Gibson and Teller (from Penn and Teller) as the owners of the minor league team. It has substantially a similar plot to "The Natural" combined with "Bull Durham" where you have an aging ball player considering his end-of-career options and a game fixing scheme he needs to play along with. As usual with baseball movies the light wins out over the darkness, because that's baseball man.
  2. Former National Security Advisor HR McMaster on CBS just blamed Obama for Rubio and JD Vance supporting the Nazi Afd party in Germany. Auditioning for the job?
  3. You know the Detroit Tigers initials, DT are the same as the initials for delirium tremens.
  4. It was when emails were sent by aldis lamp.
  5. The worm was an amazing defender for sure.
  6. Now, Urgeth Urbina was also a Dombrowski pitcher... https://www.grunge.com/12642/worst-crimes-committed-mlb-players/
  7. WOW. Yeah, Its not the right independent variable to be making that sort of decision on...its just a good attribute for a good pitcher. Sheesh...Simon had a rap sheet, didn't he?
  8. say this about the Bad Boy Pistons....the NBA hated them and they still won championships. I'd say that is the correct recipe for success in the Detroit market.
  9. let me rephrase this. You need an evil sociopath...sometimes that is Max Scherzer or sometimes its Jack Morris. Sometimes, in the case of Denny McClain, its an actual sociopath.
  10. I love Skubal being our Bill Laimbeer. Nothing like having a evil sociopath mindset as a pitcher.
  11. Ironic in light of the Ayn Rand humpers who are all over the tech bro world are currently creating the conditions in that song.
  12. Yes we know, its nothing new. Its just a waste of time. We have no need for ancient ways, our world is doing fine.
  13. We are the headline on the MLB front page.
  14. Worth the wait. This game was a lot of Skubal awesome and then finally they tied it and then BOOOM
  15. https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/worlds-collide-rem-rereleases-radio-free-europe-single-121397459 Because REM is for collective security and the Special Forces motto de oppresor liber
  16. Alternative for Germany (AfD), the party that Vice President Vance and Elon Musk schmooze with is officially classified as "a proven right-wing extremist organization". No, not by "leftist woke lunatics" but by Germany's domestic intelligence agency. https://www.politico.eu/article/afd-officially-right-wing-extremist-group-germanys-intel-agency-says/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=alert&utm_campaign=AfD is officially a right-wing extremist group%2C Germany’s intel agency says Goddamn Musk
  17. The rookies are not quite what they will be. Perhaps, one of these guys is Eugenio Suarez. And, perhaps one of them is Mike Ivy.
  18. Will we now say when they score 10 that its a CW McCall?
  19. this was a shock after watching Mize struggle through the early part of the game. He went 7 full innings! And got the win? I went to bed after the 6th.
  20. Baez just Parker Meadows that!
  21. Ibanez lines out damn
  22. Ok, Greene... now lets get these runs in
