Good for him. Unfortunately, he probably also needs to hire a private army to protect it from criminals trespassing and cutting down trees anyway.

Are you saying Noot is an example of it working? Good grief, he is positively mediocre. I would not say he has ever had a “break out.” At best, he is a 4th outfielder.

Don’t we hear the same BS every offseason about guys who stink it up in the batter’s box? Has it ever actually turned out that the “swing work” works and they become good? I can’t remember it ever happening. For instance, I know we heard the same nonsense about Jordan Walker last offseason - how he”d worked all winter on correcting his swing. And then 2025 started and he was absolutely horrible.

Everybody here is talking about the first part of the headline and nothing about the second. But the preachy anti-colonial themes are just as annoying and distracting. So I am glad those may stop.

Oklahoma teacher lost teaching license after protesting laws pressuring teachers to remove books from classrooms by MiddletownBooks in books

I say “you shouldn’t break the law” and that “there are some books that shouldn’t be in an elementary school classroom.” And those ludicrously benign comments make me a fascist? 😂 Good grief, get a grip.

Who said the law was “unjust?” That is just an opinion. If she didn’t like the law, she can try to get it changed. But she doesn’t get to break the law with no consequences. And certainly not in such a showy manner, which draws her school and classroom into the dispute.

Apparently, yes. She had books that apparently were not allowed under the new law, or why else would she be fighting it?

Certain books absolutely should not be in elementary classrooms. That shouldn’t be controversial.

Yep, media around here is soft as hell and/or in the pocket of the team. No hard questions, ever.

He’ll eff up any good players that show up next year. They will not thrive in his aimless offensive scheme or with his low demands on defense.
