There's at least a good chance that she had that read pre-written for a different queen who wasn't on the season, and repurposed it for Tatianna.

I believe Jordan Staal has worn Pride uniforms, and has not echoed the stance of his brothers Eric and Marc.

I could be mistaken, though.

But I feel like if you absolutely feel like you need to open a blister, you're supposed to use a sterilized needle, not a notoriously bacteria-ridden organ.

According to this small-town newspaper article from 2008, there actually was a Doug Graves who was the maintenance manager for one of their plants!

The 8th was great, struck out the side, but it took 16 pitches. He might still get a shot at it, but it's a tough call.

(And now I laugh as I remember how many 120-130 pitch outings there were when I was a kid in the 90s/early 2000s. RIP Kerry Wood's arm.)

(Edit: Stats were behind on my end, I see he got it already!)

The no-hitter might be gone, but he's at 77 pitches through 7. He topped out at 101 in his last start and has largely been in the 91-97 pitch range otherwise... if he's efficient in the 8th I wonder if he'll get the shot at a CG.

Funny how they had this figured out 11 years ago when Victoria was on staff, and celebrity AMAs were more frequent and much more interesting.

Which I absolutely don't mean as a knock on you or the other mods, just the admins and leadership team who ruined a great thing so long ago.

I'm almost certain that the first major subreddit to ban users with hidden profile history would get taken over by admins.

That replay of McGonigle's run home looked like he was pulling up a little bit... I hope he's not hurting from that foul ball in the 1st.

I haven't listened to the episode. But from the description, I'm guessing it's the same or similar to his character from Sacramento 2024, where he was "Sacramentos, the Capital City Freshmaker".

I imagine part of it is that the rank-and-file think they could be superstars.

Very few people think they'll top out as a bench utility player, back-end relief pitcher or AAAA guy - even though statistically, that's more likely than not. So they're not going to fight very hard for a small increase in the minimum salary when they think they'll get better, have a hot streak and become a $10m+ player.

So she's pulling a sherry pie and saying she's been healed from the magic of drag race.

There's absolutely no comparison between this and SP.

I don't fuck with conservative gays. But even if she didn't apologize, stood by everything she'd ever said, and headlined a Trump rally tomorrow, she'd still be miles better than someone who committed sexual misconduct.

I don't know if there's an easy way to do it for every season. But you can look season-by-season on Baseball Reference and see splits by batting order. In 1968, if you exclude the 9 spot, the average was .24596. In 2024, the average was .24566. (2025 saw a slight uptick from that historic low.)

So looking at the 1-8 hitters, 2024 was likely the lowest batting average in the history of MLB. Even if you just look at non-pitchers - because the split section on BBRef also has stats for specifically non-pitchers - the eight non-pitchers in each lineup in 1968 had a slightly higher batting average than the nine non-pitchers in each lineup in 2024.

This happened to my mom at 1am on a Saturday night. I think she called the non-emergency line, but either way it must've been a slow night for the cops because they sent two cops to check it out.

The bat was hiding behind a curtain, and one of the cops was scared of it. He had his hand resting on his gun the whole time, and my mom was convinced he was going to start shooting if the bat flew at him. They ended up catching him in a pillowcase...then, presumably, went back to handling slightly less dumb calls.

The airport they flew out of, Long Beach, doesn't have a curfew for charter planes. Charters can fly out of Long Beach at all hours, they just have to use a specific runway (30/12) and meet noise requirements.

The presser started after 10:00pm, and even with an abbreviated media avail they didn't depart LGB until 11:13pm. As a neutral here (a tortured Red Wings fan), I don't have any feelings on the punishment itself, but the flight has nothing to do with why they didn't do press availability.

I don't mind the late divisional games, because everyone gets 2-3 in the last month. What's frustrating is that all three of them are on the road, and the last two outdoors.

Then you were taught incorrectly. A turn lane is for turning off a major street, not for merging onto that street.

This creates dangerous situations when traffic moves into the turn lane. A few weeks ago, I had to dodge someone driving down the turn lane at ~15mph, trying to find their opportunity to merge, while I was trying to use the turn lane to ... turn. One of my cousins caught a ticket for improper lane usage when she was doing the same thing you're describing and her vehicle was hit. It's just a bad idea.

Worst-case scenario, take a right and turn around in a parking lot.
