The Catholic Church has absolutely nothing to apologize for

Also, fuck everyone who says the Catholic Church shut down scientific inquiry. Bitch they're the reason you know science

@PeteATurner @IbelWetz @TheCaseFor @CChapro832 Yep, you probably weren't getting another chance. And guess who has the most Ks in a game in an LCS? He wasn't even that great in the playoffs but he was still Roger Clemens. Would've taken the W in 2001 Game 7 if Rivera didn't blow it
English
@Ltdsoltd @IbelWetz @TheCaseFor @CChapro832 yes indeed. When he and Smoke when head to head...it was infields in in the 1st.

Baseball legends, curses, and unforgettable moments – this is more than just a game; it's a story filled with passion and excitement. Relive the magic! #Baseball #SportsHistory @thecasefor @cchapro832 @ibelwetz

@PeteATurner @IbelWetz @TheCaseFor @CChapro832 20 Ks in 9 innings. Twice. Robbed of at least 1 more Cy Young in 1990. Rocket was that dude

@Ltdsoltd @IbelWetz @TheCaseFor @CChapro832 They don’t make em like that today.
maybe they never really did. What a massive talent.

@TheCaseFor @PeteATurner @CChapro832 @IbelWetz Yanks-Sox, being as good as each other, and not because the Yankees weren't dominant either, is the best baseball has to this day
English
@Ltdsoltd @PeteATurner @CChapro832 @IbelWetz 2003 and 2004 were great years for baseball. MLB has been chasing that Sox-Yanks rivalry high ever since

@DenDictators What's funny about LBJ is that he somehow managed to be all about appearance and also no give a shit at all
English
@DenDictators LBJ is also an amazing character. All American, couldn't exist anywhere else. Nor any other time really
English
Pompey the Great made a name for himself destroying and resettling the vanquished pirates of the Med sea. Then after shit hit the fan, his son Sextus became a pirate commander. This is like the Godfather movies in reverse. El Chapo's Dad owned media empire was legit, so his son decides to sell blow.
English
@DenDictators Billy was definitely nuts, but that was well known. And if course the previous first lady was famously "tired" all the time
English
@Ltdsoltd idk how accurate this book is, but it has some funny Carter anecdotes along with all the presidents
English
@PeteATurner @IbelWetz @TheCaseFor @CChapro832 Well the other ones were in New York which was even less helpful so? But Rickey was begging you, pleading really, to beat him inside. He had the quick hands, and him hitting it on the ground wasn't great for you. And he could turn on it. Ichiro begged you to leave it outside btw
English
@Ltdsoltd @IbelWetz @TheCaseFor @CChapro832 Rickey might have had 300 homers if he wasn’t in Oak all those seasons.
English
@mynaymeismud @demarco_roy @notgaetti Which one. Walter had at least 93, probably better. And was throwing at that 3/4 angle like Randy

Barry Bonds vs. Randy Johnson, 2001-04
This definitely suggests that the numbers from my hypothetical 2001-04 Bonds vs. 1963-66 Koufax article aren't as far fetched as they might seem, as weird as they are
Uncle Junior@demarco_roy
@notgaetti What were his numbers against Unit from 99 thru 04? That would be highly analogous.
English
@PeteATurner @IbelWetz @TheCaseFor @CChapro832 Been a long time since I've read the book but he was basically like, if you're Rickey that'll work and you're not Rickey. Obviously just good wood is the game. Neither Rickey nor Ichiro hit like pitchers, but their game wasn't to drive the ball either. But they could
English
@Ltdsoltd @IbelWetz @TheCaseFor @CChapro832 Unique players are fun. We can’t all be Ted…but everyone has done Rickey’s crouch, Ichiro’s running swing and dropped down submarine.
English
@PeteATurner @IbelWetz @TheCaseFor @CChapro832 If I remember it correctly he specifically didn't like Rickey's way of hitting but also was like, if it works then it does but there were holes in the swing that he didn't like
English
@PeteATurner @IbelWetz @TheCaseFor @CChapro832 Even said, Wade doesn't have the power I have but you see the swing on yet another hit. Mark has more power, but you can see that when he hits it, and it's like I say
English
@hskenncutter We know. We also know how important Taiwan is. We don't expect you to be an unsinkable aircraft carrier, we just expect help, even if it's just use of bases, with this. We're not looking for really anything more

日米両国民は、日米同盟が世界平和の礎石であるという端的な事実を深く理解できていません。日本列島はアメリカにとって言わば「不沈空母」であり、日本は自国の国益と重ね合わせる形で自衛隊により米軍基地を守っています。この機能を代替できる同盟国は世界に全く存在しません。

Correct. Moreover, if you wished to sortie anti-air-warfare missile destroyers to the region to defend your own right to conduct peaceful commerce through international waters, as is legal under international law, you could. You have good ethical reasons to be reluctant to do so, but you have the capability if you so wish. The United Kingdom took at least a week to sortie a single missile destroyer. Which they had to do because not a single surface-to-air missile battery or even a single squadron of Typhoon fighters was present at RAF Akrotiri to provide the base the most basic of defensive cover. And their ships are unable to engage medium range or intermediate range ballistic missiles... unlike those of Japan. Some of our allies have taken their obligations more seriously than others. We can all see who it is.

@PeteATurner @IbelWetz @TheCaseFor @CChapro832 Do you know how awful the glove would have to be for him to be anything but the best hitter on that team. That was always good and had other reasons for not being bad. And he wasn't even bad on D, he just didn't throw out guys well
English
@IbelWetz @PeteATurner @TheCaseFor @CChapro832 Ted's theory was that all good hitters look the same at the point of contact. He showed homerun hitters and batting average guys. He was convinced of it. And I agree
English
@IbelWetz @PeteATurner @TheCaseFor @CChapro832 "Science of Hitting." So many pictures in that book but what you wanted was to transfer your energy through the middle of the ball, and how you did it was up to you but stay on line with the ball
English
@IbelWetz @PeteATurner @TheCaseFor @CChapro832 You get that out of even a bad defensive catcher, which Mike wasn't, you have possibly the best player in the league, even with steroids Bonds
English
@PeteATurner @Ltdsoltd @TheCaseFor @CChapro832 My mind was changed too at some point. His offense is just insane.
English
@PeteATurner @TheCaseFor @CChapro832 @IbelWetz As the Tex Williams book says, you're gonna bring your hands to where Barry Bonds had them, and you're going to drive through the ball, or else you're not gonna be a good hitter. And he wasn't wrong and actually had pictures of Eric Davis in that book lol

@IbelWetz @PeteATurner @TheCaseFor @CChapro832 Going the other way with line drives all day, and then turning on your shit. Amazing hitters

@Ltdsoltd @PeteATurner @TheCaseFor @CChapro832 Thought Piazza and him were gonna go at it watching that series live
