how has this board not gotten in on this or posted about it here? https://www.immaculategrid.com/ (note: today's is not limited to pitchers, so you don't have to find a pitcher for the middle square) I just got into this a few days ago and love it. Baseball card collecting in the past helps, quitti...

I've lived in the state next to Connecticut for over 40 years. Here are the top 10 things I've done in the Nutmeg state: 1. Got throw up drunk in New Haven 2. Went to a concert in Hartford 3. Got bored in casinos 4. Stuck in traffic 5. Got pissed that I didn't get gas before leaving NJ because it's ...

I see embedded tweets here, but if I try to go to a specific twitter person's page, it jumps to the home screen and tells me to log in.

I can no longer see anything on twitter without an account, which I suppose is the point since I deleted my account.

EdRomero

I'm interested. I've signed up for a few twitter replacements and none seem to have gotten any momentum. Any reason to think this could be the one? Twitter is such a cesspool but there are still so many good accounts to follow and nothing has been better tracking live events and breaking news, and l...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lqiy1r6pzVE I'll keep banging on this drum: The GOP is fucked and it's not about Trump. It's about abortion. Unless some moderate comes out of the bushes and somehow convinces the rabid base to vote for them... They are fucked. Which makes more worried because they s...

So Alek Manoah talks shit on Gerrit Cole and like 8 months later is giving up 11 runs over 2 2/3 to the Yankees ... FCL rookie ball team (one hitter older than 21). Are they still sticking with the theory that he's too fat and not having the rest between each pitch to recover is the reason he sucks...

Yeah, Covid ruined their 2nd and 3rd grade years. The "graduation" was a little more than an hour during the school day. They sang a song, played a slide show, principal read a shitty poem, and then did the diploma thing. I'm just frustrated by the culture of the school right now --when th...

Beyond the criminality, hearing these candid talks shows how much of a fucking moron he is and how despisable the staffer talking to him is. I still can't get over that this shithead was president.

Watched the 5th grade graduation and me and the rest of the afterschool admins were shocked at how badly the 5th graders were in front of their parents. Among other things, during the diploma handout, a few students did the fake handshake then brush your hair thingsto the principal. After, we blamed...

Just listened to BBC and the initial excitement has worn off. As always, fuck Putin and hopefully this starts something and helps Ukraine...but Prigozhin seems as bad or worse..so worse case scenario we could have a Lenin to Stalin situation. Also, it may have been a power play as Russian military b...

Beyond firing their coach, I think they felt they had to make a big moven and figure out what's best for building around Tatum. Trading your best defensive player when you're team's defense got much worse this season doesn't seem to make much sense. Maybe Stevens is worried about him declining becau...

Nice job, AB. I've been gaining weight probably from drinking and eating shitty food at work. I keep telling myself to cut down on the drinks but after run drinks are great motivators during the week. Wasn't dunking as easily as I used to on the 8 foot rims in the teachers vs. kids basketball game. ...

Bringing 2 guns on a plane. That has to rank pretty high on the stupidity scale. Starting to see why he dropped in the draft because he was actually playing pretty well.

Q is presumably the youngest and definitely one of the smallest in her 6th-8th grade rec league. Semis and Finals tonight and the #2 pitcher was away and #3 was hurt so she had to pitch the 3rd, 4th and 5th against the best team in the league. Junk-balled the lineup to death, held them to 3 runs an...

I just don’t see how we can lament the number of brain (and other) injuries in football and then complain when concrete steps are taken to reduce them. The kickoff is statistically proven to be the most dangerous play in football. It’d seem more of a genuine concern for safety if the NFL didn’t rec...

If these pieces of shit with their anti-LGBT retrograde views are really boycotting everyone with an REI initiative or Pride Month acknowledgement then good.

I've been meaning to post something about the rule change and then I saw this article. There is a lot of self-interest for Slater and teams that invest more in special teams, but taking away the strategy of a good kicker trying to prevent a touchback is taking away an interesting part of the game, e...

This might be a stone age/old man thing, but I remember hearing someone say if you could sprint that hard at the end of the race, it means you didn't run hard enough earlier. I'm still going with it shows unbelievable mental strenth/determination over being a wet blanket, but I wonder if that's ever...

So, late to the party as usual, but the wife and I have been binging The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The first season was great. The second, not so much (imho). Watched the finale. The storyline petered out, but there was still so much to like. Tony Shalhoub is brilliant (actually all of the parents/inl...

That finish is incredible. How do you sprint like that at the end of such a grueling race.

I loved this book. A lot of sad stuff with drug and child abuse, but the narrator is so good and the book does a great job describing and explaining the people in Appalachia -- almost a defense of rednecks.

Happy new album day to those who celebrate. I really enjoyed the first listen; think there will be some good concert song off of this album. They did some promotional stuff. Good interview article that goes people loving and hating them and other stuff: https://www.gq.com/story/dave-matthews-profile...

Zdeno Charra just ran an ultra trail race: 31.83 miles at a 9:41 pace. He did a few training runs on the same hills I run on in Waltham but no meetings yet (yes, I'm stalking him on Strava). The woman who is training him ran 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents: https://beccapizzi.com/
