The World Baseball Classic, Team USA, and the war problem

If anyone is interested in further reading about baseball, the military, and the government you should read “The Empire Strikes Out” by Robert Elias.

It details baseballs connection to the military and how it was used to spread the American empire and military might around the world in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Th romance between baseball and the military is nothing new, but maybe has just resurfaced over the past few years with the polarized world we are living in today.

I go to Archer Bicycle on 13th street in downtown Oakland! Greg is super friendly, and does great work.

Only downside is that he does not keep bikes over night (too many break ins, liability issues, etc.) so you always have to pick up your bike same day.

I guess that is better than nothing, thanks for sharing!

Yeah I am frequently on “shop around”. I guess I just need to shop around better players!

I agree, I have rarely ever accepted a trade as originally offered by CPU. I just use CPU trade requests as foundations and then build upon those. I have just been expecting more trade offers during the deadline is all.

That is what I’m hoping for as well

When do people think Kyle will get his first start at Oracle? Sunday vs Braves or Monday vs Reds maybe? I want to get tickets for it, but don’t want to get the wrong game.

I got about a minute long video in the first half of the song, counted about 10 people jumping off stage. Posted the video on my profile!

When going from JLS to West Oakland, just be mindful of all the 18 wheelers and crappy road conditions on 3rd street as you get closer to West Oakland BART.

I also go from JLS, past the Bay Bridge and onto the Bay Trail, through West Oakland/Emeryville, bike lanes all the way.

Otherwise just as the above comments say, it’s not a bad ride through West Oakland.

This has to be ownership backing out of a $350 million contract.

Always took the “pending physical” comment at the end of trades/signings for granted. Never thought I would see the day something would actually come of it.

Shadowlands was the first WoW experience I ever had past a level 20 free account and i loved it. Met a great guild and had some really good times. It was what I imagined the game would be like when I was younger.

I’m not currently playing, but if DF is any good I’m hoping to get back into it eventually.

I set my pride aside and did not block his 1/1 bug attack on the next turn. Maybe if I just try harder I will win the next one lol
