The future is certainly unknowable. But, the thing is, young people are stupid. That’s why they’re not in charge. I mean, lots of young people like the idea of socialism — until they get that first paycheck. You know, net of Fed & state taxes, fica, Medicare, etc. Then they become raging...

Meanwhile, appeasement works so well, as Neville Chamberlain showed. Nothing will sate Palestinian blood lust except the complete destruction of Israel. Ask them yourself. What do you want? They’ll chant from the river to the sea…blah blah blah. Everyone knows the vast majority of Palestinian...

Dream on there, big un. Any compromise by Israel would put them under the boot of people who genuinely hate them and openly seek their extinction. It will never happen -- without a nuclear attack. And that would go very, very poorly for the muslim world. See, the whole "Anti-Zionism" is not...

What utter Bu++sh++

I assume you’re restricting “whatever it takes” to things that don’t really matter, like the outcome of pro sports contests. I doubt you’d be ok with your neurosurgeon cheating their way thru med school and residencies. Or your lawyer lying thru law school and the bar exam. Or your investment...

This is not an away game for the dawgs, any more than it is for the gators. These two always play in Jacksonville. Aka “the worlds largest outdoor cocktail party”. The No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs and Florida Gators will renew acquaintances on Saturday in a rivalry which dates back to 1904...

I could not be more pleased by the Snakes victory over the dreadful Fillies. I’ll nevertheless be cheering for the Rangers in the WS, as I know some of their front office staff. But a Dback victory will not bum me out. Congrats to the Snakes!!

This is a ridiculously dumb idea. First how does the ball chip know how tall or short the batter is? Second, the ball chip needs to know where the plate is. So is there a camera embedded in or on the ball. Or some sort of radar detection system? Finally, those chips better be cheap, and sturdy...

Last year the Phillies rolled through the NLDS and NLCS and then got roiled in the WS. Might it happen that way again — who knows? But securing the “advantage” of home field during the regular season no longer seems a reward. One might ask: does the frenetic race to outright win one’s division...

I was there and it was an absolutely glorious victory! The last play of the game was a defensive marvel that I may never see topped. IMO it’s up there with the Sid Bream slide to home plate game, which I also saw live.

Past is not prologue. However the Braves won the division by 14 games, with Philly second. Also Atlanta won the season series 8-5

A particularly spectacular Braves season. In multiple ways, both at the team and the individual level. Acuna is one. Meanwhile Freddy Freeman's "replacement" Matt Olson, set a new Braves record of homeruns in a single season, at 52 and counting. "Acuña has a Braves record 33 leadoff homers...

Good scene but I’ve never liked the windshield on the Jeep. It doesn’t sit back toward the driver, rather it leans forward or is too upright. A shame because I like jeeps. But First Legion’s is obviously flawed, in my opinion.

Ignore history? Pshaw. But it’s not always relevant. The Braves are a much different team. A much better team, stats would indicate. Of course nothing is guaranteed, regardless of stats. That’s why they actually play the games. Otherwise we could just run simulations. In fact the Braves will...

Nah. Based on the 2023 regular season record, Braves vs Dodgers would seem the NLCS match up most likely to happen. Though the future is unknowable, the two teams with the best records in the NL SHOULD be the last two standing. What did or did not happen last year is irrelevant.

Say what one will about their chances in the postseason, by almost any measure it’s been a remarkable season. And a pretty fantastic run after cellar dwelling up until the 90s. Atlanta (96-50) clinched in 146 games, their second-quickest clinch in the divisional era. The division title was the...

My bad. I didn’t realize you made the rules. Of the two universities from which I graduated, neither were Division I. In fact one, Emory, does not even have a football team. The other, Sewanee, is Division 3. It once played in the SEC, but that was many years ago. I did take some classes at GA...

You got proof!? Let’s see it. Otherwise it’s just bluster and bitterness.

When did you play for the Patriots? Just wondering, have you ever stepped foot in the state of Alabama?

Yeah, well familiar with the Lewis situation. It’s all about NIL. State of Ga doesn’t currently allow high schoolers to enter into deals. California does. Thus why he’s committing two years in advance to USC. Show him the money NOW! Lol Chances are he uncommits to USC as he gets closer to being...
