Shooting at Austin protest tonight, 1 dead
At this point, if one is still publicly "protesting," especially at night, he is just an attention-seeking idiot with nothing better to do. The real and meaningful protests ended weeks ago. I advise my friends to stay away from these types of things because nothing good can happen.

After the rest of the team warms up, Yordan will show up and it'll be like hitting the nitrous!

Texas Rangers - Now You're on the Clock - Name Must Go
What a joke of an article. I know a couple of Rangers today - 1 used to be my neighbor - and they are fine men with no association to the Wild West.

Why did you think that was a complaint?

That's reasonable. COVID-19 ain't killing the kids.

If you're representing my post that way, you're off base.

Black Lives Matter
And by getting further into the intersectionality abyss with their LGBTQ+ aims. If the org had stayed more true to its name, a simple and streamlined and possibly effective org could have emerged.

How many national holidays do we need? We have 10 currently, I believe. Let's make it a nice 12. What else can we celebrate?

QB Jake Fromm Releases Apology For Calling Himself an Elite White Person
I didn't say it was funny. I said it was dumb.

QB Jake Fromm Releases Apology For Calling Himself an Elite White Person
If we're going to cancel everyone that makes dumb jokes, this isn't going to be a very fun world.

Sounds like a scrub. We'll know in 2 minutes ?

Launching humans into space again from America - Space X
The weather will either scrub it or allow it, it won't blow it up. They just said the weather is trending in the wrong direction. After saying for the past 30 minutes that it was trending in the right direction.

Surly Boxing Thread
My son (10) and his buddy have taken enough of a recent interest in boxing that we sent them to an introductory boxing lesson this past weekend at a local gym. They each got ~60 minutes of a private lesson. The thought is to recruit 1 more buddy (to defray cost) and send them as a group of 3, once per week over the summer. I haven't read the entire thread carefully. Does anyone here have kids training to box? If so, what age? Where do you train? What benefits do you see? Do your kids like it? Stick with it? We're in the Houston area and have started at Baby Bull Boxing. It seems like something my son might want to stick with, so I'm starting to nose around.

"Women shall not lead prayer at city council meetings"
Got to love it when a guy takes a verse about something happening "in church" and applies to to "in this town hall room." Hogue is wrong here. Obviously.

2020 Little League Thread of Dominance
We already don't share batting helmets. Use of catcher's gear will have to be addressed. No post-game high fives or handshake line. We'll probably only allow a certain number of kids in the dugout with the rest beside or behind, spaced out. Hand sanitizer available. A designated safety rep. Limited spectators, spaced out, masks encouraged. Personally, I don't think much of that matters for the kids. They are going to run, sweat, and jump all over each other.

2020 Little League Thread of Dominance
As a Board Member in our league, I'm in charge of the youth umpires and the scheduling for all ages. It's going to be a ton of work and a total cluster if we end up having a short season. So....a big part of me wants us to cancel. But, for the sake of the children, a part of me wants to play/coach.
