Mittens

Went to the game last night. Attendance wasn't awesome but the lower level filled out pretty well by the 20' mark. No Rodman, which was a bit of a bummer. I'd have liked to see Girma challenged a bit more, so she could shine, but she is clearly all class. Rose is impressive - it's hard not to think of her as the babyfaced rookie and weird to me that she's now one of the vets. I love her style, especially on defense - she gives zero fucks about your space. We were 4th row in the 1H US attacking corner so had a great view of Alyssa Thompson and holy hell is she impressive. Her feet are ridiculous - jackrabbit quick. More impressive maybe was her defense - there was a large Viking looking blonde on a big run and a lot of green in front of her and 7 caught her from behind and tucked in between her and the ball like an idiot hatchback cutting off an 18wheeler in a dashcam video - clean steal and left the Viking on the ground punching grass. Curious if they shouldn't play her on the left side more often (where she got her goal) instead of the right, where she was most of the night, and seemed to be looking to serve instead of score. I don't watch USWNT so I could be way off on that. I would have liked to see them be more aggressive in settled play in the final 1/4 of the field. So many times they were holding the ball looking for a way to break the defense, and there were opportunities w/ off-ball players calling for the ball ahead and the ball carrier couldn't/wouldn't pull the trigger. Way too many crosses to no one in desperation (think I counted at least 4?).

The golazo one wasn't playing for me the other day because of location, so I posted the 2nd one.

Lets see if this one will stay up

I think I was driving an 88? red Mazda B2200 w/ a camper shell at the time - very lesbian. I wouldn't want my poor ass cutting through that rich neighborhood at higher than posted limits either.

Did they though? That's rhetorical, btw. The Republican Party had the easiest fucking layup in the world, and they not only missed it, they didn't even take the shot. They could have EASILY circled the wagons and froze Trump out as a traitor to the country, and they didn't even blink.

It's wild that this is where we are today:

I could swear the gates went up years before the light, but now you have me scratching my head. Used to cut through Rob Roy to shave a minute or two off my drive, so the gates always felt a little personal.

I'd say so:

Always appreciate responsible gun owners shooting safely! Comments are just an "add a safety violation" list.

My bad - he did pitch a couple of innings in 1980. I did a doubletake on the age when I saw the news this morning as well. Thought for sure it was off by a decade.

"Tops" is certainly a choice. Not a choice? idk...

Fernandomania is one of my first baseball memories. Way too young to understand how ridiculous what he was doing and now it just seems crazy to think about. Throws a shutout in his MLB debut as the Opening Day Starter. Starts his rookie season 8-0 w/ 5 Shutouts and an 0.50 ERA. Throws 11 Complete Games w/ 8 Shutouts while leading the NL w/ 180 Strikeouts and wins the Cy Young, as a rookie. Youngest player to start G1 of a World Series, then throws a Complete Game Win in G3 on the way to winning a World Series. The number of Complete Games, Innings Pitched and Strikeouts in his 1st 7 years is just insane: For reference, the MLB leaders in those stats this year had 2, 208.2 and 228.

That's exactly why I use cruise control. If I don't set it at 79, I end up at 90+ and that seems problematic.
