Fake win for the Red Sox. I stiil can not get myself to care much about the extra inning games. I mean I'd rather see them win than lose, but as soon as it became impossible for the Tigers to win in regulation, I Iost interest in following the game.

But the wealthy can get as much as they want.

I've been a runner in the Boston area for 50 years and even I haven't run the Boston Marathon. The logistics of getting there and getting out does not sound fun. Most people I know have run it which makes it seem like not a big deal to me. I prefer the low key races.

I can respect that kind of thinking, although I don't think it can work in highly populated areas. What I can't respect is the support for fascism and theocracy that I am seeing all over the place.

On the other hand, a lot of religious posters in that thread are disgusted with him. That picture seems to have struck a nerve.

I like her too and I dislike most politicians.

He is a doctor. The patient has Covid. That is why he's shining a light up his nose.

That sounds like what usually happens to me.

Wow, what a finish! I did not see that coming. Thought for sure Greene would strike out.

On the facebook feed of a good friend, I saw several of her friends saying God supports the war and that God chose Trump to save America. Just two degrees of separation away from these lunatics. That is creepy. I mean they live in New Hampshire, but still...

Another home run for Trout today. That is five home runs in the series, the most ever in one series for a visting player in Yankee Stadium.

As for Ohtani, if he isn't talked about enough(don't know if that's true), it could be because he is surreal. There has never been anybody who was a great hitter and pitcher at the same time. I think Ruth could have done it if they had a DH when he played.

This thread is taking some strange turns. First, Trout's career is over. Then he's the greatest player in the history of the game.

Another home run by Trout tonight. His 6th homer. He now has a 166 wRC+ His career is over.

Without Perez's home run, we are still watching baseball now too. Maybe not me! But everyone else would be.

Awesome slide by Baez, but Perez's home run was also the difference.

Living is smaller Irish towns can be affordable though. If I were retire to Ireland, it would be that.

Yeah, I heard that one in the 70s too.

yes, He'll be able to sign a massive contract at that time.

Awesome deal for the Tigers. I have more confidence in McGonigle continuing his success that any young Tiger in a really long time. He's got great talent and the baseball smarts to know how to use it.

I had friends that used it in the early 70s. Whenever a fight broke out among us, they would shout out "Fight, fight, n***** and a white". I never thought it was funny and knew it was wrong. I don't know whether that was a common expression at the time or whether it was just them. I had some friends from weak familiies. My house was was the main gathering place for my group of friends. I figured out out later it was because my parents were nice to them.

When Von Hayes went to the Phillies. Pete Rose said: "I was suprised to find out that you were white because everybody told me how fast you were." To give the devil his due, Rose was not racist though. He reportedly went out of his way to befriend Black players at time when things were still segregated.

The second and fifth round picks were pretty good!

I have always suspected that his career ending injury had more to do with the insane number of innings he pitched as a rookie more than overcompensating for his Spring training knee injury.

McGonigle is getting all the attention, but Dingler has been really impressive too going back to last year. Both are players who have a good chance at being players who play in multiple allstar games.
