re: Apple TV baseball broadcast

I appreciated the score graphic. It would be nice if that would is the future because it gets tiring watching a game like CNBC is presenting it. I can imagine the majority of viewers like following their fantasy players, but I rather concentrate on the game I’m watching.
Who here remembers the NFL Today with Brent Musberger and the NBC NFL show with Bob Costas? I was 10 getting home from church and turning on the TV at 11:30 to see the NFL news of the day before kickoff. We didn’t have cable, so this was my source, lol. I just remember it being a good watch. I stopped watching NFL pregame shows in the mid-90s; just didn’t seem as important or interesting.
How about the Potomac Drainage Basin Indigenous Persons?
If we are not just talking W/L, could Art Briles end up in this conversation?

One of the last bastions of sport Americana, with everything else required to prove their wokeness. One thing I’ve seen that is great is the US Border Patrol is a sponsor on the rodeo clowns garb, at least in the couple PBR events I’ve seen on TV.
Aren’t these folks in the “it’s just a clump of cells” camp?
You may have a point in pontificating her death would probably have not been a story in normal times, and that is not ok. However, when there is a political group calling itself BLM pushing itself into every nook and cranny of this nation, they better be able to answer for every black life snuffed out violently. When this organization receives the type of political and corporate backing it now has, it proves its hypocrisy by only focusing on the much smaller white on black crime than on the mass killing of one particular race by its own.
I wonder if her name will be on any NBA players jerseys.
Someone mentioned Levin’s fatalism...Savage says hold my beer.
Michael Savage is incredibly educated and extremely versatile as he has worked and wrote books in several fields. I love listening to him, and the man can tell a story. No way he gets the 11:00 time slot (I would be ok with it), too controversial and he’s not afraid to call out weak conservatives. He loves to point out Hannitys high school education.
Plus he’s only been doing 3 shows a week and only 2 hours at a time due to some health issues.

Please not Hannity. I appreciate his defense of the conservative cause, but his delivery and style are hard to stomach. Mark Styne is great. Levin would be fantastic.
Did the same myself. Last cleaned my lot about 3 years ago and left them alone, no range time. Felt today would be good to clean and lube like the rest of the baws here. Hope and pray they are never used in self-defense, but these are crazy times.
Not sure about the details, saw someone post about it but warned about the graphic detail. I didn’t look. ?? I know the media and liberal elites dump on whitey...just wanted to turn it around knowing they wouldn’t care.
...what happened to “If it saves one life”?

South City Park was great late 80s early 90s. Poochies Sno Ball stand, tennis courts, ball fields buzzing with activity. Lions Club was the only alternate league at the time, so South City had lots of talent on those fields; some D1 guys played on those fields when I was a kid.

I’m sure we know each other. I was on the baseball team in 93 (Sam Smith the guy who made me hate baseball, lol, Baby Smith the next year finished me off) and knew several guys from that class because we were teammates. Glad to hear from you.
Are you still in La? Ever go home?
Trying not to make this a dear diary, just good to hear from someone “back in the day”.

Nice to see everyone representing from the big O. We had great athletes and smart people at one time. I think a previous poster was right about NAFTA kicking the area in the crotch. I would also say the welfare state had a heavy hand in its demise as well. Now the attorneys and state government own the town. I used to tell folks Opelousas became little Detroit. Again, sad what had become of it; my and dear wife’s folks still reside there, so we roll into town every month or so.

Born and raised in Opelousas, Cherry St Academy, then Opelousas Catholic; did 4 yrs I the AF, came back to school at ULL, now live in Milton. I can remember when OC/Port Barre were District rivals, OHS was a 4A contender in football, basketball and track. I was a sophomore at OC when Robert Hammond was a top prospect. As a kid in the 80s, Opelousas wasn’t a bad place to be. Can’t say that now, and it makes me sad. A Democrat’s paradise it is.
At work, albeit in staggered shifts now to enhance social distancing. I work in the oil services industry, which seems like I may be hearing TAPS at any moment. But for now, plugging along and praying we can all get through with as little damage as possible.
Thank you for your service.
I hope LSU beats your Buckeyes, though, lol
I think sometimes we forgot the other team is trying, too, lol
