Until I see the new guys bat I would stick with the proven returning guys at the top of the lineup. Braun will lead off, even though not a fast runner, as he will get driven in by our best hitter Serna, or by Arrambide or Milam. We were scoring enough runs to win most games even without much help from the bottom of the lineup. Hopefully the new additions will solve that problem and also be better defensively. Watters and Wachs particularly appear to have had good numbers last year.

Don't know where you were in 1976 but I was between the legs of the hottest blonde from the quad. Objectively incredible in comparison to just about any other moment of my life.
Sugar Cookies. Baked them two days ago and have just left a plate full on the bed for the late night tummy filler. Just have to lick up the crumbs off my chest. And you call 10:42 p.m. late night? I could do a nightly insomnia check in thread.
Twenty years ago I could have directed you to contact Raymond's Jewelers in Kenner. Was operated by Greg Raymond (who was an OL at LSU) and his brother Rick. Their extended family also provided a store of Catholic items for the churches and other Catholic merchandise. I don't know if they actually manufactured items. The older members of the family passed on, and the brothers retired and sold the jewelry building, but I imagine you might be able to search for contact info for Greg or possibly get it through LSU athletic dept. or alumni. I do have contact info for Greg's cousin in the event you should hit a dead end, could possibly send to you but not publish here.
Yank magazine pinup. Appropriately named. We had some yank magazines but not military ones.

So do they know who gets the engagement diamond?

Or other particular items they could fight over. The only item I wanted from my grandparents was an antique clock. Cousin took it.
I've always rather preferred "Grizelda". You could call her "Grizzly".

No matter the role, all I hear is smug Texas.

Celebrating Flag Day (NSFW)

Posted by OffTheRails on 6/14/26 at 11:20 am
Flag Day is a holiday celebrated on June 14 in the United States. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777, by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. The Flag Resolution stated "That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."

Isn't the USA a great country? Blonde, Brunette or Redhead? First attempt at a babe thread. Am I doing it right? Enjoy, and feel free to add your submissions.

He didn't really have to do much of anything. Just kept the rotation the same minus Walker.


So who did he have left to pitch after those guys? The last guys left in the bullpen. In game 1 of the championship series Russell Reynolds even got his only start of the season, with an 8.59 ERA. Florida's entire staff was rested due to winner's bracket and they started their aces Brady Singer and Jackson Kowar, who were both drafted highly at 18th and 33rd. After Walker went down with injury, Lange was the only pitcher we had who was comparable and he wasn't available.

The 2017 team kinda did the opposite. They had every reason to fold and made it to the championship series


I've thought that getting that 2017 team to the final game without any pitching was Maineiri's best job as a coach, much more so than winning the 'ship with a stacked team in 2009.
If you are still intending to do it, I have in the past rented 15 passenger Fords through Enterprise in Kenner, though some years ago. Easy for an experienced driver to handle.

Tip: For your group you would need 4 vans, and Enterprise may have to requisition them from around the city. There is a risk that someone may not return one on time. They once tried to substitute two SUVs, but I couldn't drive them both at the same time, duh. Don't recall them having passenger seat belts either.

Does Trump think Ireland has oil?

Just send in some special forces folk to kidnap the leaders (who are drug lords supplying the world with fentanyl) and Ireland, along with Greenland, could become the 51st and 52nd states. The Brits will back down like they did in 1776 and 1812. ICE can then efficiently deport all the non-pure Irish Muslims. Problem solved. Start making plans for the new golden statue of the great liberator.
Should not be any safety concerns there in daytime. I've taken very old ladies to see/hear the Victory Belles sing (one who actually worked for Higgins Company). The VB luncheon is pretty decent and last time there was also a film shown about Bob Hope's efforts, if any performance date should coincide with your trip. Getting a bit pricey now though as they went up from $55 last year to about $75.

Very convenient parking garage right across Magazine Street alleviates any search for a safe parking spot on the street.
