@EdJorgenson1 Maddux was the best pitcher of any I've seen in my lifetime. I loved watching him work.

@EdJorgenson1 Earl Weaver embodied rule #10 . He was one of the more colorful characters in the game. Great list

@peppgrad I can imagine it was a very hard class. Have you used any of that knowledge in later life?

@CaptRoho Makes me wish I had taken that chemistry class in college but I was sure that Beavus and Butthead in my class would get something to explode. I dropped it and took astronomy. Yikes. It was a hard class. Much harder than it sounded. I now have great respect for astrophysicists!

BLEVE It occurs when a pressurized vessel containing a liquid heated above its atmospheric boiling point ruptures, causing the liquid to instantly flash into rapidly expanding vapor and resulting in a violent catastrophic explosion and often a massive fireball.

@EdJorgenson1 No, that seems almost predatory, considering many of these young Latin players come from very poor backgrounds. Tatis, given his father's big league history, isn't completely in the same boat, but it still seems shady.

Fernando Tatis Jr. has lost his lawsuit against Big League Advance. Tatis was paid $2 million as a minor leaguer in exchange for 10% of his future earnings. This was not a loan. If Tatis didn't make it to the big leagues, he didn't have to repay the $2 million. But Tatis did make it to the big leagues and later signed a 14-year, $340 million contract. That meant Tatis owed Big League Advance $34 million. Tatis had publicly praised Big League Advance, saying the $2 million allowed him to hire a personal trainer, upgrade his apartment, and eat better food. But after realizing he owed $34 million in exchange for $2 million, Tatis sued the company, alleging that they used predatory tactics to lure him into an investment deal that was really an illegal loan. The judge disagreed. The agreement was upheld this week and Tatis was even ordered to pay Big League Advance’s legal fees. This is a big deal because Big League Advance has signed deals with 700+ athletes, including Elly De La Cruz (MLB) and Nolan Smith (NFL), across MLB, NFL, and college sports (think: NIL). And now that the courts have ordered Fernando Tatis Jr. to follow through on the agreement, other potential legal challenges will likely go the same way.

Guys, had to take @SisterFred01 to the ER this evening. It seems to be a much better scenario than first thought. But we would appreciate any good will and prayers you might send her way.

@beffjezos Sports teams recruit the best of the best, globally, in order to win... the US should be no different.

Ok, gloves off. Fuck it. CCP wants US open borders to dissolve the US and render it dysfunctional. FSB wants US closed borders to maximize multipolarity / break ties with allies in their backyard. Anybody pushing for any of these extremes is a useful idiot to foreign agents.
