  1. they appear to be picking up the movement on the pitches really well this inning.
  2. Is anyone tracking this Joe Rogan meathead attack on the vaccine guy? Whoever would take advice from that lump of coal is a fool.
  3. My Korea time was a month in Jan 2000 (weird time to be anywhere given Y2K scare), I was part of a team monitoring Ulche Focus Lense -- a major exercise. As I recall, the big news story was the Cuban kid that was being forcibly repatriated to Cuba from Miami. What I learned from Korea: Do not get stuck on the night shift for a wargame if you intend to sleep during the day and Koreans are holding elections where they use loudspeakers on the backs of trucks and the candidate speechifies for an hour in the street in front of the Hotel Asia in the town by Osan AB. Sunday morning is just a state of mind when every night is Saturday night to the US GIs. Saw many dudes swinging from lamp posts and carousing as I drove into the AB for the wargame every morning. The "land of not quite right" was on its way out but there were still a lot of ridiculous engineering situations. (e.g., Heating pipes across the threshold of doors that you had to step over). Korea had excellent, excellent wide scale internet then. I understand it was only improved since. Russian girls were dancing in all the establishments where young idiots with security clearances might dispense with their senses. The dust from China was everywhere. Yellow tint to cars, windows.
  4. as did this guy today
  5. I heard Joel Zumaya broke his forearm helping old ladies across the street and putting out devil's night fires.
  6. i heard a lot of both kinds of stories. USAF stories about Clark Field and USN stories about Subic Bay in the Philippines were also a staple.
  7. South African government was trying to undermine international law.
  8. and the entire country including those who are not members of nutter far-right racialist groups are in the fight.
  9. its weird over there.
  10. So, you must have some 'soldiers throwing each other through windows of bars' stories
  11. I listened to the Hacks on Tap podcast the other day and they marveled at his ability to debate. Basically, his native Jerseyness.
  12. Lots of barrels in that 9th inning for the Tigers. Only 1 run but it feels good.
  13. Me: What's your favorite literary vampire? She: The one from Sesame Street. Me: That one doesn't count! She: I can assure you he does.
  14. Maton is gonna get himself killed bunting after a 3 run HR.
  15. Baez has that: I'm-going-to-strike-out-like-an-idiot thing going in this AB
  16. 2-1 sac fly from Kerry Carpenter. It was neither crafty or krafty but necessary.
  17. Torkelson was not very crafty with that infield fly...
  18. Mckinstry's bloop single was as crafty as this
  19. The mound visit was crafty. As crafty as an early 80s synth band from Germany.
  20. I like to think I'm in Adventureland
  21. Literately, Neil Simon would write a play called 5 Hole Blues
  22. Are you saying Scott Harris is having an affair with Maton?!
