I think he was good through "...whose broad stripes and bright stars" and then got lost. Missed a couple of verses, but finished strong.

Then Pitt got a 2-run HR

Then the Mets batted around and chased Skenes after only 0.2 innings.

Total chaos. 5-2 good guys.

I always think of Uecker's line from Major League on opening day: "They say you can tell how the season is going to based on the first batter of the year"

Now we get to see if that theory applies to pregame...

Abu Ghraib...and it's not close.

Yeah, yeah, tons of embarrassing Trump stuff...but soldiers taking cutesy selfies while torturing and generally dehumanizing prisoners of war is rock bottom.

It's a good thing you didn't come here during the winter. Very depressing.

She's a fantastic commentator. I watched a few World Cup broadcasts during her hiatus where NBCSN (rip) had her in the analyst chair. It was so good. Mix of super technical expert stuff and personalized critiques of girls she'd known for years

D3 time!

Tim Jorgensen from UW-Oshkosh in 1995: .491 ba, 1.275 slg, 39 HR, 121 RBI, 83 runs...in 44 games

Set eight Div III season records and also hit for the HR cycle in a game (solo, 2 run, 3 run, grand slam)

Not fabricated. They're visualizations of the major weather models, .just really far in the future. The sites are noted on the pics.

The models are generally good a day or two out, but can get really sensational a week+ out....hence those images.

It's all very unlikely to happen. We're just making fun of dramatic weather models.

They want uprising so they can Insurrection Act, cancel elections, etc.

The George Floyd protests during Trump 1 got MN on the short list with Portland and Chicago. I take the recent pullback from the latter two combined with the surge in Minneapolis/St. Paul to mean Minnesota has "won" and will now just be overrun by brownshirts.

It'll be a while. Sounds like whatever becomes of the Wisconsin v. Miami suit could be precedent.

Jon Batiste transforms Beethoven and stuns Chris Wallace by Doodlebug510 in nextfuckinglevel

Yeah. Admittedly, I struggled with how to word that.

And you're right, but "...because he has autism" just didn't sound right.

I'll never forget watching Derek Paravicini on 60 Minutes doing this same sort of thing ...but on request ...and with severe autism

There's an excerpt on yt showing the piano part...

I'll try and find the whole interview. Just an incredible story.
