    Would you rather I talk about my prostate and lumbago?

    It was so crummy my hair ached.

    Since we're in a rain delay let me tell you how crummy I felt today after yesterday's 2nd COVID shot.

    Huh. I thought it was from Highlights Magazine. You know, with Goofus.

    No, it's not every discrete act of injustice that gets publicized in the media. The Hennepin County Public Defenders Office just released a study that concluded that 78% of searches conducted by police in Minneapolis after a traffic stop were directed toward Black or East African drivers. According to the 2010 census only 19% of the population was Black or African American. That to me is racial bias. This is a huge, huge problem that goes beyond George Floyd and Jacob Blake. These incidents are emblematic of the problems in our culture and the pro sports athletes are now making a statement about them. I am glad they are speaking out.

    Totally on the level here. I watched the clip of Smith and he was talking about how hard it is to be a black man in America. Are there other sides to the story that haven't been talked about by MLB players?

    Not sure by what you mean when you say there is not a right or wrong side. If there is no wrong side then we make no judgements and there is no need for a criminal justice system.

    Thanks. Fortunately, I didn't get the tear gas. But I did stand with my neighbor looking toward Lake St and wondering which building was burning. Having the National Guard in your neighborhood, not because they are there to help clean up from a natural disaster, but there to protect the fire department from violence is something I will never, ever forget.

    I don't want to make this too long. I'm an old white guy. I live 7 blocks from where George Floyd was murdered and 3 blocks from the carnage on Lake St in May. I have suffered a loss because of the riots. I also enjoy baseball. A lot. Herb Carneal was the background noise of my summers growing up. I also roll my eyes at some celebrities who have spoken out about some cause. (Movie stars testifying before Congress? Really?) To me this is different. If the players haven't experienced racism personally, they know who has. Players, who if they are not black or brown, are living and playing ball with black and brown players from February to September (I only wish it was through October). They are comrades and going through the grind together. That the players, unanimously, decided not to play is a testament to their solidarity and love for one another. Sure, they are all going to get paid for the game, eventually. They won't be punished monetarily. I guess I don't care if they aren't paying a monetary price. They have a platform and they are making a statement. I care about that, and I care about the fact that as a team they thought this was important that these issues of race are brought up. I wholeheartedly agree with them. This is very, very important

    Yeah, but Civale embarrassed Avila twice. Why not vs a lefty too?

    83?

    Byron would have pulled in standing up

    Great slide by Arraez
  23. snotboogie
    I was told he has deceptive speed.
  24. snotboogie
    I’m trying to remember what I was doing when I was on the verge of 41........ Ugh. Let’s talk about Nelly some more.
  25. snotboogie
    I’ve been in and out, but it sure seems Maeda is not getting the benefit of close calls like Civale is.
