Mets' behind-the-plate camera operator tried to will that routine third-out fly ball by Stariing Marte out of the ballpark.

I don't know that I can blame Riley for that, necessarily. It's not our wall. But he does have to take the responsibility for the outcome. Casey is starting to look just a little rattled now.

A couple of baserunners, but Casey got out of his first inning in two years unscathed.

I don't want to accent-shame anyone here, not even a guy who is objectively terrible at his high-visibility job. But every time I hear Craig Monroe say "extablish", I focus on how weird it is for someone to say "extablish", and I don't even hear what might well be a very well-thought-out idea being articulated after that unfortunate rendering of the word "establish".

Case in point: https://troybrewer.com/2024/01/14/jesus-is-coming-back-as-the-warrior/ And this Troy Brewer guy, whoever the **** he is, is deadly serious.

"I don't know who this Jesus is supposed to be, but he is definitely a CINO."

Not a publication, but OK.

Doesn't whether Trump failed depend on who you ask? Because at least a third of Americans would not agree that he has failed.

Setting aside the whatabouts, the point is that, contrary to your earlier assertion, a respected organization has just in the last two weeks removed Israel from its list of liberal democracies for the first time in fifty years.

It's funny because all non-Europeans are primitive people.

I might argue that the other eight are all the legacy that the ninth, slavery, had and continues to have on that region.

I'm surprised "Celebrate Good Times" and "the Chicken Dance" aren't on there.

Remember, that type of Christian doesn't follow Loving Hippie Jesus and pray for peace and harmony among all the peoples of the world. They believe in Asskicking Warrior Jesus and they pray for their enemies to be vanquished so they can be privileged as the unchallenged leaders of the world until the Apolcalypse comes.

I especially like how you compare Israel's "Freedom in the World" with the United States' "Freedom on the Net", as though they are the same. I almost missed it. Pretty slick!

That's a counterpoint from a different source, yes.

If it’s baseball we’re talking about, then the Tigers will lose two today, just like the 35-5 Tigers team that marched into Seattle on May 25, 1984, and got swept by the 20-24 Mariners. Hmmm … 20-24. Interesting.

Perfect, except if he wants actual verisimilitude, he should have Lance Parrish waving futilely at a slider hitting the LHH batter’s box.

Yes, the hills are there are alive, aren’t they?

Exactly! Well, except …

Looking promising so far!

I'm going to a university in Indianapolis where the festivities start around noon. They're supposed to have live music and food trucks and professors explaining things and stuff like that.The actual eclipse starts around 1:50pm, it's full at 3:06pm for a few minutes. Our plan, currently, is to leave here about 6:00am and get into the area by 10:00am. I hope we can get from the edge of the city to the university within two hours. But the way this is getting hyped up, we may end up sitting on the side of a street someplace and just looking at it ourselves. maybe some local radio station will have an astronomer on air to explain it as it goes. We booked a hotel near the airport on March 19, and ended up there because a bunch of hotels near the university were already sold out. Good thing we had the presence of mind to book a reservation for dinner nearby!

You misspelled "careful".

Apropos of nothing, "astronomically low" seems like an oxymoron.

I think they would regard that as preferable to playing two on Thursday.
