MIguy

I'm rooting for the Orioles and Twins but I have to admit that a series between the Rangers and Astros would be fun to watch.

I'm not in favor of term limits but would be totally on board with mandatory retirement ages. 72 sounds about right to me, we don't need 80 and 90 year old people running the country.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that he dropped the lawsuit days before he was going to be deposed.

San Antonio has a small TV market. https://hoop-social.com/nba-team-market-size-rankings/

Funny how the same people who wanted General Miley charged with treason when it was revealed he had a couple routine phone calls with his Chinese counterpart are acting like Trump blabbing national defense secrets is no biggie.

Michigan also has Fresno State coming in, currently undefeated and a Top 25 team.

Don't forget, Michigan also has Texas at home next year.

I was actually unsure but what I find online is that teams can only have one transmitter in use at at time.

PitchCom is between the pitcher and catcher with the fielders also having a receiver to listen to the pitch being called. Nobody off the field or in the dugout can send signals through it. What would have happened here is the catcher pushed some sequence of buttons to alert the pitcher to go with a pick off. For example, they might have had a code between then that said if I push the fastball button 3 times, throw to second.

That's the problem with politics, especially in the modern age. People think there are only 2 sides to every issue and if the other side is for something, you are required to be against it. You only get two buckets, for and against.

Most issues are not black and white and building border walls certainly fits that definition. There are border towns where you can literally walk across the street and be in another country, of course you need a wall or fence along those stretches. You also need physical barriers near population centers and border crossings to keep people from flooding across unchecked. Being in favor of strategically placed barriers doesn't mean you support a wall through thousands of miles of barren desert.

Bummer that we're not going to get any deciding games tomorrow. Now I'm stuck having to watch the Bears. 🫠

I should have added that there was also a runner on third, making it even more stupid.

The Twins taking down the Astros is all I want for Christmas this year.

Vlad Jr getting picked off at second to end the inning has the be one of the most boneheaded plays in playoff history.

Tampa starts the season going 30-10, doesn't win the division and then gets sent home in the wildcard round.

It doesn't. I just don't see people in Florida ever caring about baseball which is kind of funny considering how many older people live there. As bad as it is for the Rays, it's worse for Marlins. They have twice the metro area population to pull from and draw less people.

The only reason that new "ballpark" is being built is for all the events it can host that don't involve hitting a ball with a piece of wood. It's only going to seat 30,000 for baseball but can expand to 35,000 for concerts and such.

Got my flu vaccine a week ago and felt bad for a couple days. Had my COVID booster yesterday and didn't really feel anything except a slightly sore arm.

In other news, the Rays had less than 20,000 fans in the stadium today. That's just sorry AF.

Big win by the Diamondbacks tonight and they have their ace to the mound tomorrow.

It's starting.....
