    We are irrevocably stupider and making sure that the stupid have more power.

    Yeah, I look forward to the exhibitions of "special competence" by Judges Cannon and Kacsmaryk ...

    Apparently, the MAGA wing of the court doesn't believe in stare decisis after all ...

    This is the thing. People really need to realize that, with Project 2025, the Dems may not ever be able to unfuck everything that Trump and co do in the next 4 years. And that assumes that they are able to get elected, which assumes that (1) there are functioning elections in 2028 and beyond and (2) Americans have enough sense to realize that the Republicans are the ones that are fucking them. To reiterate, we are totally fucked. Totes fucked.

    Among the Dems, Michelle with Barack acting as chief of staff might have the best shot to unite the Dems in time for the election ...

    Only makes sense given Biden, the FBI, the CIA, Jason Bourne and the Jackal have been coordinating on a plan to assassinate Trump at the debate. The court obviously doesn't want Biden to know that he'll be immune if he goes through with that ...

    Umm, it would be cool if the clip actually matched the description ... this type of shit DOES NOT help.

    True. (Someone please make sure to delete that UTRGV game thread.)

    Bro - the pitcher can stop the Ball 5 shit. The Vandy Whistler NEVER ... SHUTS ... THE ... FUCK... UP. College baseball will be forever better when that piece of shit dies.

    Pretty sure that was Jeff Kent's wife.

    I'm pretty sure that version of history will get you arrested in Texas and Florida, so you might want to keep that to yourself.

    Hearing Landry say that out loud, I'm now bracing for a new history lesson from Alito, Thomas and crew explaining why they're compelled to overturn centuries of 1st Amendment case law so that Y'all Qaeda can force their christofascist fairy tales down every kid's throat. Lovely. Feels like I'm overdue for some shooting range time ... Updated: Furk. I haven't been paying attention because apparently they've already started down this path with Bremerton. Prepare for more Calvinball ...

    2:45 CT. I think they said there's gotta be 65-70 minutes between games to prep the field and let the teams warm up. Or did I miss some sarcasm?

    A&M seems to be cursed by the injury bug. If they lose Laviolette, they're prolly cooked for the rest of the series.

    Definitely generous, but looking at where the ball is caught can be a bit misleading with those sweeping sliders from lefties. If you pause when the ball just enters the frame at 0:01, it was probably only an inch or two off the black. Not a strike, but if the ump has been calling a wide zone and the pitcher is consistently hitting the target, it's one of those pitches that a pitcher will sometimes get. I think you have to look at this in the context of how an HPU has been calling the whole game. Would I love a perfectly calibrated robo ump consistently calling the strike zone? Absolutely. Would I miss the "art" of catching if we go to robo umps? Definitely, but I think the improvement in accuracy / consistency for most games (e.g., with umps other than the top 2-3%) would still make it worthwhile. My sense during this CWS is that the umps have been doing a pretty damn good job, though.

    Why does it feel like the Gators are going to tie it up or take the lead in the 8th or 9th, only to get walked off in the bottom of the 9th?

    Think the theory is that UF hit Prager pretty hard last time and they hadn't seen this guy before. I suspect they'd be happy to get 2-3 from him and see if Cortez can take them most of the rest of the way.

    Un-fucking-believable.
  23. Gap03
    Been an incredible CWS so far ...

    I wish they wouldn't make that kind of hypertechnical call when the pitcher isn't getting any advantage on the move. I fucking hate when a great game ends up being impacted by that shit.

    Kinda feels like the trashcan should be on fire tho ...
