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

Ruth had absurdly quick hands and reaction time. His mechanics were terrible judging by today's standards, but most folks run the wrong way with that argument.
If Babe Ruth played today his talent would have been noticed quickly and he would have been trained how to swing "correctly" against modern pitching. The question of Babe Ruth playing today with the same training methods and technique he used in the 1920s is stupid. If he played today he wouldn't use the same training methods and technique.
Nor would he use his 40 oz bat .

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.

Sorry to say this but I think I’m hoping Yordan has the Rona and not more knee problems.
Well, I think the Rona will be a shorter, quicker ting to deal with than knee problems, so.....good?

Go get 'em, Kam.

Well, they tried. NASCAR and Bubba made black people pretend to enjoy racing for a few days.

Who cares? What a dumb thing to complain about.
Why did you think that was a complaint?

our local league had 3 kids test positive for covid and they're not pausing/stopping the season, full speed ahead. Basically just got a message saying "be sure to social distance". nice
That's reasonable. COVID-19 ain't killing the kids.

Just a note for the readers. In this thread, we see BLM being criticized as a movement for 1) making it all about black lives only, and 2) making it about things OTHER than black lives.
In short -- black people are damned if they do, damned if they don't.
If you're representing my post that way, you're off base.

On a serious note, I think BLM kinda fucked themselves, from a PR standpoint, by making Michael Brown their beachhead.
They should have kept the focus on Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner.
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?

Playing in a tournament in Lafayette this weekend. No hand shakes. Just stand on lines and tip hats to each other

That's the protocol in Houston too.

I'm sorry.... that's not funny...... at all !!
I didn't say it was funny. I said it was dumb.

If we're going to cancel everyone that makes dumb jokes, this isn't going to be a very fun world.

i hope that they made the right decision re: the weather. i've got my entire family watching it
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.

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.

Im gonna just jump right off and ask why in the fuck is a governmental organization holding prayer to begin with?
People gonna people. Stupid gonna stupid. Digress.
Eric Hogue, city councilman of Wylie, Texas, has decried that women shall not lead the opening prayer of their meetings. He has cited the new testament of the bible as his reasoning for this.
This speaks volumes about a lot of things. He may want his wife and daughters to never be able to speak or think for themselves, but ill be damned if I let that be the kind of life my daughter experiences.
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.

You guys going to be sharing helmets and catching gear? Allowing high fives?
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.

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.

Will try to tune in to certain parts to catch Lance Berkman's moments of domination.

Shooting at Austin protest tonight, 1 dead
in Daily Texan
Posted
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.
