...Yanno, that name sounded familiar. I wonder if he visited my old neck of the woods at some point. No way I could verify it now, though.

TFW you go through your news feed and find out that the soldier who crossed the border into North Korea not only had ties to your hometown... but he also graduated from the same high school as you. :facepalm:

German also threw a Maddux: 99 pitches, no runs.

Sadly no. By the time I would have gotten there, it would have been half over and I would have been fully baked from the sun. And the wife wouldn't have been happy, either. Also, I had to work in the morning, so that didn't help either. On other news: he got to well over $400 k, last I...

This is from my neck of the woods. Might want to check out some of those tweets halfway through for an Easter egg...

Nevada Assembly passes SB1, with amendments by Senate, sending it to Governor Lombardo's desk. Las Vegas Athletics, anyone? (MLB owners vote is pretty much a formality at this point, tbh.)

Boy, lot has gone on since I last posted. Well, here goes: Back in September of 2004, in the nascent days of the internet, I decided to do something that I really don't regret doing. I bought a ticket to a game that I had no way of getting to, and had no intention of ever trying to get there...

All right, you all may know about my current situation here in Arizona, and that something is happening one state over that's got a trickle-down effect on my fair city. The Athletics Baseball Club of the American League has signed two (TWO! ah ah ah ah) separate "binding agreements" to...

A sign that I live in Arizona: It is not very unusual to see a pickup truck driving down the road with a US flag (and usually one or two other "MAGA"-styled banners) attached to the hitch via a flagpole, or ones in the bed of the truck flying Old Glory. Those are so common in this state you...

On a different note: I think someone in marketing didn't think this through:

C'mon, you coulda seen it a mile away. The real loser last night was Arte Moreno. Even if the Angels win the World Series, they won't be able to top that. And Ohtani probably shot his contract demands up by a factor of Ohmigawd after that "save" appearance.

USA versus Japan for the WBC title tonight. Prediction: Top of the ninth, Japan up 3-2, runner on 1st, two out, Mike Trout up to bat - and the Japanese manager brings in a reliever... Trout's teammate, Shohei Ohtani.

I suspect Rodgers won't be traded until after June 1st. Dear God we're in for a LONG spring.

A few things as I went to my first ST game of the season: I have now seen two pitch clock violations. The first was Brewers starter Eric Lauer having a rough day trying to focus on pitching and not on the runner on first. As a result, a ball was called by the HP umpire. The second was when...

So. He wants to be a Jet all the way. Good. We need to move on. Gimme Love, gimme life, gimme peace on earth.

I found out earlier this week that a comic forum I'd been posting on since 2009 had been shut down permanently into "read only" mode by the author. Yes, this happens to be one Jeph Jacques and his Questionable Content webcomic forum. I had not posted there in quite some time - in fact, my last...

PITCHERS AND CATCHERS HAVE REPORTED!!!

I ended up getting screwed out of a championship because the game ended. So what we did was just take the eight players who were playing for the four "playoff games" (Championship and three consolation games), plus two "free agent" adds for the two teams that didn't have a player in the game...
