I saw brawls exactly like this in Soldier Field back in 2000. Of course, it was for a Mexico v. Argentina soccer game. The Mexican fans couldn’t find enough Argentinians to fight - so they first segregated into like 5 giant pods based on club loyalty, and then fought amongst themselves. It was amazing. I’ve been to…

All of this sucks.

If you look at the angle from behind home plate, you can see the exact moment when the pitcher’s heart breaks: “Yeah, GIDP!” to “Oh, shit, 1st and 3rd” in mid hop.

My first thoughts! It reminds me a bit of the Ty Cobb story:

Literally every single basketball fan outside the crazy half of LA thinks Kobe ruined that franchise for a decade with his late-career antics.

Alex Morgan didn’t exactly cover herself in glory, whatever the stats say... and seems undroppable because of her marketing status. Is that the elephant in the (locker) room?

Better shit talk (of sorts) was the “no, we’ve been here before” when asked about whether or not they’d have a champagne celebration.

At what point does the (woke, anglo) press stop saying “ooh, racist thing happens again in Italy” to saying: “we’re not covering Serie A until the league makes some headway making this go away”?

It’s Ruffinesque...

Getting a definite Miloslav Mecir (sp?) vibe from those highlights — seems that he can ‘hold’ the backhand til the last second, so the opponent can’t read it and has less time to react.

I drove past the Jonathan Swift Pre-School in a small town in Ireland last summer.

I’m not too clear on what Queens leagues you’ve been watching. But assuming you’re looking at immigrants from Mexico, Honduras, Haiti, the middle east, the Carribbean, the far East, and sub-Saharan Africa...

Yeah, he’s no Wondo, that’s for sure. 

While I’m on my soap box...

The same fights regularly happen in the suburbs over school and county fields and the permitting process.

Either I’m searching wrong, or the local press has yet to pick this up — which is really pretty shocking. (I get 2 hits — an older Georgetowner and NW piece that notes the contact is up for negotiation and the Hardy kids asked for better access at a public meeting).

You’re just mad Blessed Sacrament isn’t in on the deal...

Glad I stuck with it! They really sold that Whiffenpoof intro...

Abimael Guzman, is that you??? 

To be fair, $15 to watch the Tigers is still a huge ripoff!
