playing long-ball at Fenway tonight

As long as we don't offend them.

To Kill a Mockingbird is deemed too racist to discuss in high schools-really?

Thats too bad-I'm not in the book banning school of higher education.

Class today we were going to discuss racism in 19th and 20th century US literature, but the Board of Ed says as some may be hurt by the words and imagery or the possibility of some here acting like idiots. I can't.

So today let's discuss Merchant of Venice.
There are too many fucking woke idiots in this world.
 


They should take a nap their brains are clearly tired and are producing nugatory conclusions

CFBW's are fun to watch.

I wonder if Evvie felt any compassion with the Nats humiliation of the Mets last night.



I died.

I mean, I've complained about our pitching, but that was just too much!

I was glad I wasn't there.

Resilience.
The capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.

JOSH -

Just a heads up....

This account, and others that end with "phome" and all listed as "Male, Age 39" in their profiles, are spambots.  Don't know if you have the power to delete them, but you might save a lot of mopping up down the road if you can.  I'm a web admin elsewhere on the web, and am familiar with these.  Also, if you want to pass this along:  threads that were inactive for years, and are now empty, are spam magnets.  If they are thinned a bit, or just locked, it will save some grief.  Or we can keep waiting for that magical day that Latin American Literature and Pets comes back to glorious life.  "My dog has no nose..."

I will be cleaning up the threads regularly. If/when I get the ability to ban them and their IPs, I will do that, too, but thus far it is not an option.

I don't remember the earlier game, but Pedro was Pedro and when he threw a game like that, while it was appreciated it was not quite as surprising as seeing "Cy" Porcello do it.

A lovely game to see. I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

The Pedro game was the best game I've ever seen a pitcher pitch, with the Chili Davis hr (RF-yankee stadium) the only hit Pedro gave up that night.
17ks no walks.plunked Knobby.

Porcello not nearly as overpowering, but very efficient, and just throwing strikes.

real nice game.

Los Angeles has the best baseball team, the Dodgers, the best basketball team, the Lakers, and the best football team, the Rams.

And the best new boxers are coming from California.
