and if it's not an effective political strategy then the blame for that falls on.... Hamas. Israel are making fatal and immoral mistakes. They are committing murder. I won't deny that. Netenyahu is scum. But none of this happens without Hamas letting it happen and causing it to happen. I wish the left could have condemned Hamas with 1/20th of the vitriol with which they give Israel. If Israel just stopped and Hamas slaughtered the remaining hostages... you wouldn't hear a peep of sympathy from the radical left over those lost lives. Nothing. They don't matter as long as you can slam "The Zionists"

Josh Lyman and CJ hated John Hoynes.... and Lyman worked for him.

ball bounces at a right angle in LF and a second run scores. Do not approve of this.

language warning!

If Jesus came back they would accuse him of not being a real Christian... then come up with some kind of pretzel logic to justify it. "Well, I guess we're Jews after all"

that playlist sucks. I'm surprised margaritaville isn't on there.

He's the one who grabbed "Hillary's" boob.

Glad it's a 12 pm start. Maybe they will finish by 5:30 or 6.

Can you imagine prehistoric times when this happens? I'm thinking a group of cavemen types, with little "education", not places like Egypt or Aztecs. Just sitting around getting food ready, fishing, whatever... then the sun gets covered up and things go dark. Would they think the world was ending. Did they find the nearest woman and start having sex?

I'm just waiting for some ignorant asshat to schedule a meeting during the time of the eclipse.

I hate weather. The forecast for Friday's home opener went to **** too... last week it was partly sunny and mid 50's. Now it's mid 40's with possible spotty showers... and breezy. **** April.

Those people on the west side of the state are one degree away from the Mormons in Utah.

The Beyonce Country song Texas Hold Em is catching on with me. I listened to Jolene once and it didn't hook with me. But this song is catching me like a commercial jingle would. I'm not a Beyonce fan and favor the kind of Country that Tater does but it is what it is... I didn't ask for this but I'm kind of digging it.

If the Tigers had Paredes then perhaps they aren't in a position to draft Lankford in 2023.... meaning a lower draft psoition.

I-75 near the OH border will look like the Florida Space Coast during an Apollo launch.

I remember reading in the 90’s that the Catholic Church and one of the Orthodox churches removed their excommunications of each other.

today's forecast says "light rain" for Queens this evening... so maybe that will give them a window to trudge through a shortened game in miserable conditions.

it got me too... I almost merged the threads.

I just got MLB Network again and.... I can't get over Carlos Pena being referred to as "Los". As for "celly"... yeah Buddha's right. Hockey players like to shorten everything up, names, etc. I think it comes from being out of breath on the ice so you reduce syllables and exertion it takes to say things.

FYI, this is the 2023 MLB thread, there is a 2024 MLB thread.

Bruce was great on Curb this week.
