Can I rant for just a bit? The Rangers gift shop at Surprise Stadium was terrible! No spring training pins, balls, bats, etc. They only had the basic spring training shirts and hats. Contrast that with the Oakland A's stadium in Hohokam that had everything you could imagine. They even had a really cool hat in the green and gold color scheme but it was a cactus instead of the traditional logo. Even the jersey offerings were limited, only selling the home white replicas.
Anyway, I had a great weekend overall. The team looks really good and I haven't had this feeling during spring training since 2023.
Hohokam Stadium was cool but man it was cold and rainy today. The forecast didn't say it would continue to rain but it's still coming down at my airbnb in Scottsdale. Sucks to not see DeGrom but maybe he'll pitch tomorrow? We'll be in Surprise for the game.
Last night I flew Southwest for the first time in a few years. They pulled my wife out of line because her chest pack was considered a "bag". Then I found out they no longer offer tomato juice! They only offer spicy bloody mary mix. Fuck. That. Shit. Sold all of my stock this morning.
Rumor on the street is that Paula Blackmon fucked up her application for re-election using an invalid address. Whether this affects her ability to run I'm not sure.
I gotta give Dan Bongino credit for at least retaining half of Rush Limbaugh's audience when he died. I remember when Howard Stern left terrestrial radio it was almost a 90% drop for most markets, especially the ones who picked David Lee Roth instead of Opie and Anthony.
But I guess this means all of his affiliates will switch over to Clay Travis and "Buck" whoever the fuck that is? Imagine you're Rush Limbaugh and your timeslot gets taken by a guy who worked on the Bill Clinton campaign. Dude is probably spinning in his grave.
Not the guy you replied to but I don't accept the premise of your question. Is it really debated whether or not American involvement in WW2 prevented millions more dying from German and Japanese conquest?
But surely you don't believe them, right? That the Ukrainian territories in question actually want to be part of Russia but the "Neo Nazis" within their government are conspiring with us to prevent it? Ukraine wanting to be a member of NATO is way more believable than what the Russian government is saying publicly.
