  1. Coop closed out the gold medal match for team USA. What an experience. https://x.com/USABaseball18U/status/1822737179442921894
  2. I love your hole. Shit wait, I love seeing pictures of your hole. No, dammit, you have dug a pretty cool hole. Impressive hole. Goddammit, nevermind.
  3. That was amazing. Was that 100m gap? Jesus. Do better world.
  4. His mother was a mudder! Good job Pressley. Dealing with that shit condition was impressive.
  5. The fact that these people don't realize they can't have their cake and eat it too is the exact reason all these dems through the years have been losers. Do you know what compromise is? No? Ok, you get crippling dept, zero worker protections, school shootings, unchecked regulations benefiting billionaires & corporations, oh and authoritarianism that threatens to wipe your dumbasses off the map. Well played idiots. This is 100% why I feel like shit voting for anything resembling this side. I fucking hate these idiots ALMOST as much as I hate maga. What the fuck is wrong with people. Everyone on one side is fucking trying. There are a shitload of interests trying to align against facists fucks. Can you just take the small victory of survival and be happy?
  6. I called that Homer. You want me on that wall! You need me on that wall!
  7. I just started watching so I only know the score and that Ort is a menace. He needs to pitch more.
  8. See this photo is from before she became black!!! /trump Also, WOOD.
  9. I blame Dr Mercola. She has been into that fuck stick since the 80s.
  10. I had to take my mother to the ER after she got COVID and tried to treat it with prescribed ivermectin from a quack. I threw away the shit and absolutely lost my shit on her. She was on deaths bed and survived. Still didn't shake her crazy. She is a full on rfk whack job. She has always been anti vax to the point that I had to get vaxinations I should have recieved as a child when I was in my 20s. I send her every video I can that debunks the crazy but it won't change her views. She told me the other day rfk is her dream candidate. It is infuriating. I am just doing my best to keep her crazy ass alive bc aside from the anti vax, she is a wonderful person and great grandmother. It is just brutal when she goes into her rants every now and again and I have to be mean and tell her to shut the fuck up. Shouldn't have to act that way towards your damn mother but we are here.
  11. *Marked unsafe at surlyhorns.com*
  12. You traitor. If you don't start with a king ranch casserole you can get fucked! We need to being the folks in not alienate them. Slow burn.
  13. It's going to be extra odd when I am sitting in a deer blind with my maga bil wearing that hat. He won't say shit because I am a fucking gun nut with all suppressed tools. That is the biggest mind fuck of them all. He only identifies with guns. Silly little dude. I am all about gun regulations. 90% of what I have should not be commercially available. Lfg. Take it away. Idgaf. I would rather kids in Uvalde were alive over mah rights. Regulate, monitor and make America great again.
  14. Fuck this show. What a joke. We are all suckers.
  15. He posted on longhorn (or burnt orange?) fan zone and in a sea of crazies, he stood out. What a psycho. I have an old desktop with the awesome takes from that board. Swam was amazing in his crazy. I need to fire that thing up. Crazy call back. That was over 20 years ago I dealt with him.
  16. My 12 year old only started baseball because his brother was loving it in 8u. His first season was spring 12u when he just turned 11, never played before. He was a team favorite bc of his attitude. He was terrible but made a play here and there. Fall season he was an afterthought. They ran out of pitchers and one day they through him in. He went 5 inning and had 13k's. Ever since he has been every teams top pitcher. I coached him this last spring and the allstar season. We beat every team he pitched against. Rec and allstars. Point is, it is never too late. Support and teach them at their pace. Don't worry about the future. Worry about today, you can control that.
  17. I know this response is late but I had something happen this week that reminded me about my 18yr old self. My grandma game me a book when I was 14 or so that was basically propaganda about how oppressed the confederacy was and how they weren't that bad. It caused me to have a fucked up view of the world until I sought out more information. I had to actively look for it. If I wasn't proactive, I could have lived in my ignorance forever. It is easy to do so. I was taking care of my mom after she had surgery and while at her house I saw the book. I cracked it and read a few pages and realized how crazy it is now. Hell, the cover is a confederate flag. Kids are 100% a product of their environment and even at 20 do not have a solid grasp on anything. Hell, I am over 40 and still struggle to reconcile everything.
  18. I skimmed some of this but in my opinion, I would let him play as many rec sports as possible. My kids played rec league until it was painfully clear they needed more. I coached them and took them to training sessions with professional coaches so I could learn how to coach better honestly. Once it was clear I had nothing to offer to get them better we went select. It is 100% pay to play for most organizations. Your son needs to want to train outside of regular practice on his own volition. If your son dominates, you will get people from different organizations recruiting them or you can work to getting your son on the better teams. There are a shitload of politics but in the end, if you train them and they are good, they sell themselves. My goal is for my kids to have fun. They are consumed with baseball. They practice together essentially everyday. I do not force anything. I offer options for training and if they want to do it we go, if not, we do something else. Just be present, offer them options and make sure they love it, don't worry about the select pressure bullshit. 99% of the select kids won't make a HS team. 100% of the kids deserve to have an enjoyable childhood. Make it happen for your son.
  19. Not enough drip, it's supposed to be pink/purple/blue and bedazzled! 🙄 I just built a batting area for my boys. They were hitting off the dirt area where they wore out the grass 2 years ago. Leveled it and put in turf. Yeah, I need to clean out the jungle but I am lazy and I just did it 2 months ago. The rain makes things grow!
  20. I had a kid on my 12u rec team this fall that hit a home run that a dad measured where it hit on a sign on another field at 320'. It is crazy how the 12u kids grow so differently.
  21. Yall can do you but my kids are not watching that movie for several years. I am also the person that restricts access to content and monitors everything. The internet is not a place you let 9yr olds roam free. I am not going to allow it even if his friends have shit parents. That said, watched the movie again on a shitty stream. Laughed harder the second time.
  22. Good thing I didn't bet I would eat my hat. Needed it to tip to Kikuchi. Jesus.
  23. Let's go Pena!
  24. We could have been sellers and ended up better off than we are right now. We are going to get swept by this minor league team aren't we? Nono, I will stay positive. Running on no sleep right now. Let's go stros.
  25. Yup. Well done bud.
