“He’s a completely self-centered, self-possessed, self-consumed, angry old man,” Christie told CBS News’ Robert Costa, who had asked him for “the truth on Trump.”
I was at a minor league game the other day. Altoona Curve vs Richmond Flying Squirrels. Went to the concession stand and missed the three meatballs and their footrace. Also, a piscine mascot named "Al Tuna" exists.
Best thing about the park is there's a roller coaster just beyond the left field wall. Raises the stakes for both the ballfield and the roller-coasterers.
Anyway, bball minor league = fun spectacle that builds community spirit. MLB = bore me to tears.
We've got the Crabs. Haven't been to a game in years, but remember it as fun. One very awesome part was the city parking lot right next to it, where foul balls were handily caught by car windscreens.
"Large brawl in Alabama as people defend Black riverboat worker against white assailants
• Fight appeared to start when a worker objected to a pontoon boat preventing a larger river boat from docking, and was attacked by a group of white men
OT: I'm beyond annoyed. Just got notice from our local water and electric utility that they're going to start giving late fees after five days past due and shutting down utilities after a month nonpayment. Before now they were really forgiving.
LMAO, everyone's out to get you! Well, clearly you aren't a fan of the Arlington Rangers, which is good, because while lots of teams suck, none suck harder than the Six Flags Over Texas Rangers.
Seriously though, there was nothing untoward done by the Astros at all in 2022, except they beat everyone's asses.
If it makes you feel better (it does me!) consider this about the 2017 Astros:
* They only used the trash can at home
* They had a better record on the road than at home, so the trash can sure didn't help and might have even hurt
* They quit using the trash can in September when they realized a pitcher from the White Sox had figured it out
* Therefore, there was no can-banging at all in the playoffs, so that was on the up-and-up
* The Yankees suck
* The Yankees cheated worse than anybody and fought for FIVE years to keep MLB from releasing the results of THAT investigation
* So obviously, the Yankees suck
* So do the Dodgers
* And at the end of the day, the Dodgers had Game 7 at Dodger Stadium, and those choking sluggards choked like the sluggards they are
I've never watched Star Trek, but even I know it was always woke AF. First interracial kiss, FFS!
Also, I was reading something about Candy Spelling's former mansion the other day, and some moron was saying "typical Liberal, lives in a huge house and is worried about climate change." I suspect Candy Spelling is probably NOT a Democrat, but they just assume anyone who lives in CA is "woke" and a Democrat.
CNN has a poll out that says only 35% of Republicans care about "woke." I think Rob DeSaster has effectively destroyed whatever meaning "woke" had.
I'm kind of glad they're acting like total lunatics right before an election. Rob's biggest donor (who is a loon) thinks Rob's not going to get elected if he keeps being so divisive and extreme. Gee, you mean the majority of people DGAF about Disney being "woke"? Color me surprised!
When athletes visited other Presidents, it was a recognition of the athlete's achievements. When they visited Trump, it was a recognition of Trump. Also, you'd have to shake his soft, greasy, little hand and lord knows what he was doing with it before you got there. Disgusting.
Good for the Astros and good on Biden for keeping the focus on them.
"Chutkan has been the toughest sentencing judge on the D.C. federal court for Jan. 6 defendants, according to a Washington Post database. Through mid-June, Chutkan sentenced every one of the 31 defendants to have come before her to at least some jail or prison time. She has exceeded prosecutors’ sentencing recommendations nine times and granted them 14 times, while court-wide, judges have sentenced below government recommendation about 80 percent of the time."
Kudos to Judge Chutkan, but why the fuck would judges sentence dipshits who tried to overthrow democracy to LESS time that the government recommends? I've thought they all got off too lightly.
In retaliation, MTG has released a photograph of penis and crackerjack.

Just as a matter of comparison to OHJB.
Way to go, Astros! Way to go, Dusty! Way to go, President Biden!
unlike certain orange blobs, he didn't even get booed.

Don't worry. The MBAs of MLB will fix that. Soon all minor leagues will be boring.
Williamsport fan here.
Love minor league baseball. Great value for the money.
A slice of Americana.
My wife's family is from Altoona. We love going to Curve games when we go up there. It's a nice ballpark.
Always a joy to run into fellow members of the Yinzer Diaspora.

We had a contest to pick the minor league team's name. We ended up somehow with the "Babycakes". They didn't last long.
OT. On The Waterfront.

Worth a click. What one would call a knock-down-drag-out. A brouhaha. A donnybrook. A bar fight minus the bar.
Fisticuffsmanship!
Pontoon boats, man.
Hey assholes! Maybe not illegally park your boat and then start a fight when called out on it. The worker was doing his job.
>>At least two of the women jumped or were pushed into the river. A third was beaten over the head with a folding chair, video showed.<<
Gotta say, somebody getting beaten over the head with a folding chair is literally the least surprising item in this article.
WWF!
Maybe least surprising, but almost certainly most awesome!
JER-RY! JER-RY!
(Oblig.)
Used to watch local professional wrestling when I was a kid and each night the sign-off was "Watch out for flying chairs!"
Hubbub and to-do!
When will we finally have a President that shows Curling (the sport of kings) the respect it deserves?
You'd better settle for a Canadian Prime Minister because no red-blooded American President will desert our many national sports.
Even the curling success of Homer Simpson in that episode we like didn't turn the tide for curling in the US of A.
You would think they already would.
Nobody appreciates a clean sweep more than a politician.
I thought Curling was the Sport of Kegs. I've been told that a bonspiel without a bar isn't a real bonspiel.
Did you know that before crowbars all the crows had to do their drinking at home?
Hey, Donnie--THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!!
The Astros should've been bounced out of MLB for at least a couple years after they cheated so egregiously.
You could not be more wrong.
I'm pretty sure it is a law that only the Red Socks are allowed to cheat.
True, I've seen the writ.
OT: I'm beyond annoyed. Just got notice from our local water and electric utility that they're going to start giving late fees after five days past due and shutting down utilities after a month nonpayment. Before now they were really forgiving.
This is going to fuck with a lot of my clients.
MBA - master of being asshole?
Time to review state laws for cut off during heat waves and the disabled?
I'll put our legal dude on it.
Can't shut peeps off here in MA from 11/15-3/15. Gas & electric at least.
Even in our red state hell they aren't allowed to cut of certain utilities during extreme weather if there children, elderly, or other factors.
Jeeze, I'd send them a letter and cite client difficulties as a reason for an exception to policy.
I'm more than happy to do that. With an ROI, of course.
Yes, because human beings are well-known to be able to survive long periods of time without access to fresh water.
New junior management at the utility.
Sorry, Joe... can't back this move. I'm AL West, but not a fan of the 2nd biggest cheating entity being in the WH this century.
Exactly how did the Astros "cheat" to win the 2022 World Series?
Once a cheater, always a cheater.
LOL, that didn't answer the question. So I'll pose it again:
Exactly how did the Astros "cheat" to win the 2022 World Series?
Also, which AL West team do you root for?
To answer your 1st question: I don't know yet, but I know it's there somewhere!
To answer your 2nd question: the only team in the AL West that was cheated out of B2B WS rings by the umpires!
I'm not still bitter, though.
I'm still bitter.

I am a Rangers fan and those were STRIKES in 2011! STRIKES, STRIKES STRIKES! I tells ya!
My sister lives in Houston and loves her some Stro's... makes me hate them even more. Traitor that she is.
"Trump, others blame "wokeness" for US women's defeat" is a line I'm seeing on CNN.
//wanders off to smack head against a wall.
Sweden is a woke paradise. So if the US lost, it's because they weren't woke enough.
Ha ha! Good point.
I watched a nice YT video about crew life on board the NCC-1701D of Star Trek TNG.
One of the comments was "I liked Star Trek before it got woke."
I laughed my fucking guts out. As the first reply said "Star Trek was always woke, dumbass."
Fucking idiots.
I've never watched Star Trek, but even I know it was always woke AF. First interracial kiss, FFS!

Jesus Christ, that means England has been woke since the late sixties.
GODDAMMIT YOU FUCKING MORONS STOP USING WOKE WHEN YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT MEANS.
/FUCK

It means whatever they want it to mean at the moment, to express their stupid anger with the world for not being always their oyster.

3 hours until Judge Chutkan Smackdown™
Will she put PAB's lawyers private parts in a legal vise to be sure that their client doesn't do his usual stupid poop on the Intertubes?
Until they give him a gag order or remand him to custody he will continue to blather.
One can hope.
Should be delicious!
