  1. Only scoring 1 or fewer is our favorite thing. I hope we break that pattern of despair tonight.
  2. That is a great ad
  3. Launchers, launderers its just a couple different blocks of code difference
  4. I like this We need to put more pressure on these weird Russian enclaves. They are the ones committing war crimes.
  5. Blockchain currency is really just about freedom.
  6. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/oakland-county/2022/06/20/russian-weapons-fuel-pontiac-gang-war-feds-say/7543099001/?gnt-cfr=1v I do not have a digital sub to the Detnews so if anyone could gist this that would be great.
  7. What we know: Ukraine survived a brutal firsts few months Russia has decided to ramp up brutalization efforts but do so in a focused way. Basically to concentrate on areas within the range of their artillery. Ukraine has been dealing with massive casualties of its own as it fights these brutalization efforts. Its not all sunshine for them. Both sides are dealing with morale issues because of these casualties. The heady days of March and April have slipped away as this becomes a slog. Lots of Western volunteers came in March/April. Not all of them are staying. Lots of adrenaline junkies in the World but certain death has limited appeal. Ukraine may have chased the Russians away from Kyiv but they have limited capability to force the Russians out of places elsewhere until they build sufficient offensive combat power. For some reason ($$$/kompromat/idiocy) German and other powers in Europe are grinding out the release of weapons for Ukraine. Ukraine would love for EU/NATO to actually join the war so they will spin all sorts of things to get nofly, humanitarian corridors, etc. to protect their flanks. Prediction: Ukraine will cut a path to the Black Sea this Summer. Fall will see both sides exhausted and reverting to stalemate. Russia will have to mobilize more of its population to conduct offensives. Ukraine will need much more money and resources to survive. Inflation and elections will be need to be weathered by Western friends of Ukraine. Bitch-ass US and Western consumers will say it costs too much to fill their gas tanks so they will vote to reduce aide to Ukraine.

  9. Now that Greene is up I really want Baddoo to get back to the MLB team so that commercial makes sense. Unless its the near-parallel timeline where those two are forced to car-jack dudes with pyramid auto-repair insurance schemes because they fell on hard times.
  10. My my...what a day for me and the bat and ball games. This is the all-star weekend for my league. So, results for Chantilly Youth Association 8U: those games are dreadful to watch. The girls are adorable but...mein gott in himmel they never throw where they should. Watched a couple innings on one field in Vienna and then drove off to James Madison High School to watch... 12U: Our girl who is huge but never hits simply destroyed a ball and hit the fence on the fly for a grand slam. The 12Uers rallied and beat a better team so then I drove back to the Vienna fields to watch some more of the 8U games back at the first field and that was dreadful again so I drove to Oakton High School field went to watch the beginning of the 18U (covers 14U all stars as well) and that didn't start very well so I watched a couple rough innings and then drove back to Vienna fields to watch 10U games which was really good. Our CYA kids have an A+ cheer game. They just didn't do the stupid "Nationwide" and "down by the old cemetery" cheers. They had some good stuff and they all knew how to do it together. They also were way better than their opponent. By this time I was a spent unit so I headed home and turned on the Tiger game and saw a different team than I've seen all season. Welcome Riley Greene!, Welcome players who looked like they were supposed to look in 2022.
  11. What must it be like to watch all these HRs?
  12. The talk of Riley Greene just depresses. ANOTHER rebuild?
  13. These at bats are really gritty. I would say they are characterized by their grit.
  14. Excellent
  15. Because this group has the fire to fight
  16. The Rangers are bunting. Um. Bean these asshats.
  17. Grossman and Schoop have to go. They won't be around for the turnaround.
  18. Not only is our team terrible but the girl who was on the tout commercials got fat.
  19. Welp, do we call it a win that he got through 5 only giving up 5? I mean we aren't going to score for a couple days so...
  20. Because Harold, Cody and Tucker are all tired out.
  21. The 5th inning. The inning Skubal needs to pitch through to give the Harold and the other position players a chance to finish this game out.
  22. I gave up angry mob actions when they wouldn't fire Matt Millen in the aughts.
