    Braves (44-57) @ Rangers (53-50) (7/25 - 7/27/25)

    We should absolutely cut him loose. Snit keeps sending out there so I’d been fine canning him too. I get the whole ‘let the guy go out with some dignity on his own terms’ aspect but if you could calculate WAR for Managers he would surely be in the negative. We lose so many games directly...

    Braves (44-57) @ Rangers (53-50) (7/25 - 7/27/25)

    Olson has been hitting .290 for the last month and his avg is up to .265 now so I’ll acknowledge he’s been better at the plate. Ozuna and Albies have been dreadful the last month. I honestly had not noticed Harris playing better so hopefully he can turn things around.

    Ghislaine Maxwell Receives 20 Years for Aiding Epstein in Sex Trafficking

    One of my closer relatives was abused from about the time she was 4 to 10 years old by her Biological Father and nobody in my family knew until she was in her 20s. She is not well now and has the mindset of a teenager in her 30s. She started remembering what happened to her in her late teens...

    Alabama, sigh, you’ve done it again Part II

    https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/26/us/alabama-child-hot-car-death This is just blood boiling negligence from one Human to Another. The article says it's the 16th Death of this kind in 2025 and that's 16 too many. No excuse for this and especially in the Southern US I'm tired of this Planet...

    Ghislaine Maxwell Receives 20 Years for Aiding Epstein in Sex Trafficking

    Agree. I don’t care who it is because they all deserve to be exposed and have their legacies destroyed. Hollywood and DC are both cesspool’s and Americans should make it a priority to rip this stuff up by the roots and wipe it out. I don’t think anything will help the past victims but at least...

    Braves (44-57) @ Rangers (53-50) (7/25 - 7/27/25)

    Off Topic but have any of you seen the Rookie 1B for the A's? Kid almost hit 5 HR's the other night He's 2nd in MLB in OPS behind only Aaron Judge He's 7th in MLB in BA hitting .305 He's 2nd in SLG behind only Judge Impressive seeing a young guy that can hit right away. The A's took him at...

    Braves (44-57) @ Rangers (53-50) (7/25 - 7/27/25)

    We just Stink. I love the Braves and I've been watching them for almost 40 years but they are just Awful and what's worse they are the most careless and lifeless and long since given bunch I've seen. Some of the 80s Braves were just TERRIBLE but they gave daily effort. The 2025 squad is just...

    Oh I meant in the grand scheme those are the only probable results with so many powerful peoples reputations at stake.

    She's either getting pardoned for her silence or becoming 'unalived'. She won't be talking though.

    Decline of the GOP - XVI

    At least on Reddit many are staying on Target. Shockingly even Conservative subreddits have had enough and just want the information fully released. The truth is that If and it’s a big IF… If all the damning proof about everyone could come out it would burn a lot powerful and influential...

    2025-They died this year

    Really mixed feelings on this because the Wrestler and the Person were completely different. But he was a Massive Hero for my entire generation in the early to mid 1980’s. If someone is making a Mount Rushmore of Pro Wrestling then Hulk Hogan is one of the 1st faces on there. My Mom took me...

    Did you take shop class in junior and/or high school?

    We had an off site dedicated trade school when I was in HS and I wish I had taken one of those classes just to develop some type of skill with a trade. Being ‘Booksmart’ hasn’t really done anything for me. I’ve always been good at teaching myself the theory of subjects but it’s the real world...

    What's been your favorite Alabama football victory and the hardest loss for you to take?

    The two most difficult losses for me were probably 1989 vs AU and 1994 vs FLA We were undefeated and Ranked in the Top 3 both times and those losses crushed NC hopes right at the end of those seasons. I'm honestly not sure what my favorite win is though. '93 vs Miami is probably the biggest...

    In N Out Burger leaving blue state

    I've never had In-N-Out either and I don't even know if one is near me. My 2 cents of experience is that whether a Fast Food burger has a chance to be decent is pretty dependent on if you are lucky to get one freshly made or if you are unlucky enough to get one that's been under the heat lamps...

    Giants (50-48) @ Braves (43-54) | (7/21 - 7/23/25)

    Correct yes. If the score had ever been 5-5 then SF’s starter would have received a ND. Starters especially kind of get a raw deal. If they fall behind at any point and the score never becomes tied again they are on the hook for the loss. But they have to go 5 or more innings with a lead to...

    2025-They died this year

    Man I had no idea he even had Parkinson's but in retrospect that 100% makes sense. He was a one of kind Frontman and a pretty large part of the soundtrack of my more rebellious and youthful days. RIP to the Madman

    I don't think it's possible. Anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together and who is remotely honest with themselves damn well knows Trump was a frequent flyer to pedophile island and MAGA does not care. There could be polaroid's of him caught in the act with 14 year old girls and nobody will do...

    JessN: Now that the previews are done ... here is what I'll call the "Pitfall Post" ...

    He led the '23 team to a win vs USF when the OL was taking a dive. I'm not the least bit worried about his ability to win or lead in the face of extreme adversity. Honestly Ty and Roydell should both have their prints in cement because of that game and not any of the guys in '24. In any event...

    Giants (50-48) @ Braves (43-54) | (7/21 - 7/23/25)

    Once the pitcher of record falls behind it’s a loss unless the game becomes tied again to get them off the hook.

    Confident QB play vs Not confident QB play

    Confidence bordering on Cocky is a desirable trait for a QB most of the time. I can’t really touch on anything regarding this for ‘23-‘24 because it’s not possible to stay in the lane/guardrails of this intended topic. But I’ll say our most recent couple of QBs who embodied Confident bordering...
