One more tournament for my 17 YO this summer. 12+ years of baseball nearing the end of the road, and it's bittersweet. As much as I'll miss it, it's sure going to be nice to have more time to fish and hunt when baseball doesn't dominate the weekend schedules. And, after several months of being down in the dumps post-surgery (TJ) and kind of loafing around, he finally found something within himself this spring to start getting after it in the gym. We found a really fantastic pitching coach with a big focus on biomechanics that's made a world of difference. His delivery (LHP) is so much smoother and consistent, which undoubtedly will help him stay healthy. We're still ramping up the pitch count, but it's been like watching a new kid this summer. I'm super proud of him. He's certainly not on a national / scout type team, but he's been facing some pretty good competition. He missed the first summer ball tourney since his HS team was in the state playoffs and he was traveling (but not playing) with the team. He's been pretty salty through his first four outings post surgery: 3.0 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K 3.0 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 3 K 3.0 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 4 K 6.0 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 10 K (three walks came in the last two innings when you could tell he was getting tired, but nice to see him work out of a jamb) Total: 15.0 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 10 BB, 21 K, 0.46 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, .102 BAA FB has been sitting in the low-80s and he's touched 85 a few times. Throws mostly two-seamers, but works the four-seam when he's up in the zone. Breaking ball is starting to come around, and his change up came out of nowhere and has been his strikeout pitch. He's been asked to play an extra tourney in San Antonio in August with a higher-caliber team that's short on pitching, so that'll be his first test against really good competition. This has been a big confidence boost going into the offseason. His goal is to add 15 lbs of muscle before spring. He's 6'2" and 185 lb now. Should be a fun senior year if he can stay healthy and continue to improve. I don't think he'll get any looks for college at this point. His academics are excellent, so it's going to be interesting to see what he decides if he does get a sniff from a smaller school.

God dammit, I just typed this and it disappeared. Short version, they are bringing back the 2016 Russia investigation and saying that Obama did it to try and steal the election from dotard.

I did a double take that this dude was retiring after 12 NFL seasons....seems more like 6. Fuck I'm getting old.

Leaving Portland today after a couple of days away. This is our second time so we were able to hit places we couldn't on our last visit. Here are some highlights: -Casco Bay Tour to House Island (private island with old fort on it- near Ft Gorges Island) -Hike around Wolfe Neck State Park in Freeport followed by trip to LL Bean Outlet (with noting it's a whole outlet shopping center there, so there's much more than just LL Bean). -Ferry to Peaks Island and bike ride around the island: found a hidden beach off the main road that was really cool and took some side trails to the Battery Steel fortifications, which were extremely eery partially due to some kids walking through the dark structure making haunting sounds. Beach on Peaks Island: Food: -Eventide. Give yourself at least an hour of time to wait (you can leave while you wait). Alternatively, The Honey Paw next door is owned by the same people and they even share a kitchen but it doesn't have nearly the same wait as Eventide. It's an Asian fusion restaurant. -DiMillos on the Water. Nice views, great food. Highly recommend the Pecan Encrusted Haddock. Waiter who worked there for 35 years said it's by far his favorite. There's also a piece of the Berlin Wall out front. -Bite of Maine. Nice place for lunch and, in my experience, the best place too get whoopie pies. -Tandem Coffee and Bakery. I cannot emphasize this enough. This cinnamon roll was incredible, as was the blueberry lemon poppyseed scone. We left talking about how we could make it work to buy a small cabin to take out daily regularly while renting it out during travel season. There's lots to do and enjoy in this area.

Yeah, really hard to imagine a worse sport to translate to a low effort All-Star game than WNBA basketball.

Any regulars on the board "knew", but the confirmation is helpful and explanatory. It also can now get picked up within media circles and perhaps get more negative discussion about Georgia brewing. -
And here I was thinking Bobby Bonilla was the guy most overpaid for his 2025 performance.

The fact that the ref fucked up at other times doesnβt mean it would be right for her to fuck up yet again. Italy gets away with sooooo much absolute bullshit on the pitch. No way Iβm crying for them when they lose because the ref finally penalizes them for cheating.

Pop the blister, put some spider tack on it and up the spin rate of your fastball. Let's go LMJ you douche, quit being a baby!! Besides submitting your blister to the Astros' medical staff will probably result in amputation.

Spoilered below is the RB preview. Highlights: -They really expect healthy, 2023-version of Ott. They paid good money for that version. We should fully expect Venables to be very gentle with Ott when practices open. -Tatum is a fumbling machine that ended up in Murray's doghouse. -After years of touting Barnes as a future star, they're now lauding him for being nice about handing over the starting role to Ott. -
Perfect time to bring up the election results.

Now being reported that Calicutβs accomplice and teammate at North Shore, Isaiah Brice Phillips, was shot and killed in another incident on Sunday night. https://abc13.com/post/galena-park-isd-confirms-isaiah-phillips-was-student-killed-pool-party-northeast-harris-county/17246470/ -
Fuck that. It's time to hoist the black flag and start slitting throats. My grandfather once told me it's not wrong to kill someone that needs to be killed. He gave me my moral clarity for the situation we now face. I'm looking forward to the spark that starts it all. I hope it happens sooner rather than later so I can participate fully. Getting old sucks. Valhalla calls.

Here's the WRs preview. Mateer apparently thinks their WR room is "so deep". Uh huh. Highlights: -Neither Gibson is cleared medically to be on the field. -They're expecting "big things" from the McNeese guy who put up middling stats in FCS, Sategna, the meh transfer from Arkansas, and Elijah Thomas, a true freshman. -Somehow Deon Burks is still regarded by everyone as a major threat. -
Kind of tying into that, I'm insanely curious where Maxwell Lord will come into play, since Morrison kind of ignored him (but then again some of the characters were pre-Morrison). I know it was Gunn's brother playing him, but at the same time it was made quite clear that Lord is important to the new Superman universe. As I said, I feel like I know what Snyder was trying to do - maybe a little less about telling major stories and more about exploring what made them tick, in particular, Batman, although Gunn actually showed us what made his Superman tick with a lot less screentime. I never got the feeling that Snyder really gave a shit about his villains - they were there to lay bare what made Batman, etc. who they are. Gunn gave us a villain that had more of an arc and more character development/explanation than all of Snyder's CGI mess combined. I can barely remember some of the villains in the Snyderverse. And I do not believe in a million years that Gunn would have allowed his Superman to let his dad die right in front of him during a fucking tornado, but Snyder had to have that because his Superman had to internally be a hot mess. Warner Brothers just wanted a DCEU money train, and maybe they thought they'd pull in those who didn't care for the MCU as being too light/kid-friendly. I saw an interview where he talked about how he knew exactly what tone he was going for, how he didn't want to start the movie (with an origin story) and where he wanted the movie to end (with it being clear that a Justice League was coming) and said it felt easier to write. He said something to the effect that the movie was the foundation for his universe and the one movie would take the place of the pre-Avengers solo movies, and he did it. Edit: Gunn said not having to dwell on how to introduce Superman and the JLA to audiences really made the writing easier, since he had it in his head already.

It's so great that he made it to the Back to the Beginning show for a well deserved victory lap and to bask in the adulation of both musicians he inspired and the fans that have adored him for decades. I don't know if I've heard another performer thank the fans over and over in live shows and express his appreciation as much as Ozzy. He bounced back from rock bottom more than once and extended his career longer than anyone would have thought 45 years ago. RIP to the one and only Prince of Darkness ( who turned into a doting teddy bear of a grandpa and dog lover)

"This was treason. This was every word you can think of. They tried to steal the election. They tried to obfuscate the election. They did things that nobody's ever even imagined, even in other countries," Trump said in the Oval Office Tuesday.
