    Minors 8-19-19

    Encouraged by 11 K v 1 BB for Wright in 6 IP; discouraged by his babip luck (10 hits, five ER) and the HR allowed. Encouraged by Waters’ RBI double; discouraged by the 0-3 with two Ks in his other PA tonight.

    Jewish Community Centers Under Threat

    "Jewish community centers across the nation are under siege as dozens received bomb threats this month ― including more than 20 reported on Wednesday alone." My sister works at one of those JCCs that received a bomb threat today. I know the article quotes Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office...

    George Ciccariello–Maher and Drexel University

    While my economic proclivities lean decidedly left, I've been pretty clear on here many, many times that I am very wary of over-policing speech-acts and other forms of not-physically-injurious expression, especially on university campuses. Many (though by no means all) of the right-leaning...

    6/1 GDT: Giants at Braves (3 of 4) -- Seismic Collision

    On the bump: 6-3, 235, versus 6-0, 240—though I'm assuming the latter's a bit generously under-represented. In the field: Even if it's quiet, it's going to be huge.

    What's Not Nailed Down: Whither, and for what?

    Since I'm lazy, but I (a) firmly believe the Braves should trade essentially any player over thirty whose name doesn't rhyme with Bar? Take us!, and (b) want to speculate on where those players may go, as well as for whom they might be transacted, I thought I might deploy the traditional...

    NHL?

    I'm too broken-hearted to watch any more NBA this post-season, so I'm trying to take solace in another Blackhawks run towards the Cup. Anyone else watching hockey in May? Anyone else see Shaw's 2OT header goal that was waved off by the referees?

    Time to extent La Stella

    Yes, what a shock that I would be calling for this but my main reason for this is because I believe that second-base will continue to be a position in the NL. I wouldn't extend La Stella if I didn't think second-base will remain both an offensive and defensive position but I think La Stella...

    Hello 1st place...

    This team is mentally tough. So what if I am right and we make the post season. We'd hit our crease like a bespoke five-thousand-dollar suit anyway, and the Nats will be back 5-8 by mid August.

    Spirits and Cocktails

    This thread has been a long time coming, as far as I'm concerned, but zitothebrave's comments—to some of which I will respond below as a first foray into this all-important subject—finally spurred me to action. I love gin—but I may be one or both of those things. Not hard for me: I make...
