Karma’s a bitch! The National’s are just a little too uppity and full of themselves for a team THAT’S NEVER WON ANYTHING! Try being a little bit humble at least until you make it to the World Series let alone win one. But until you do, I’ll just laugh at your misfortune.

You talk about the fun you have going to the airplane museum and the beach. Does the kid enjoy that too? You never mentioned that part of the story.

NEVER take a job where the company gives you a smartphone. If you do, you will have agreed to be at their beck and call 24/7. FORGET THAT! My downtime is important to me. Don’t call me at nights or on weekends. And forget about calling me on vacation. It can wait until tomorrow. I personally don’t use social media.…

That’s why I always use the generic term ‘breaking ball’. You can’t go wrong.

The guy is a psycho at best and a pedophile psycho at worst. Either way, he should be locked up.

Good joke, but maybe a little bit too soon. +1 for the joke though. It was a good one.

Wow, this made me cry. This is one of the nicest things I’ve ever seen in sports. And it does renew my faith in humanity, even if just a little bit. The kids know about sportsmanship and right from wrong even though we adults forgot about it a long time ago.

Maybe I’m a jerk, but if you’re willing to (potentially) hurt yourself for my entertainment, I’m willing to watch.

I had the opportunity to watch Bortles at UCF. He really wasn’t that bad. He looked like a very raw recruit but somebody that you could work with and mold into something decent. There is no way he should have been drafted number 3 overall. There is no way he should have been a first round pick. But as a low round…

Why can’t they move it outside the stadium where more people can see it and enjoy it?

Who’s going to take care of the cat during road trips? During the off season? Who’s going to clean the litter box? Who’s going to feed him? No, I don’t think living in the clubhouse is such a good idea.

And here is the obligatory Youtube video that must be included in every story about Baltimore.

You can live with spoilers. You just have to adjust your mindset. The worst one is when you time shift a game and then desperately try not to find out the score before you watch it. But I just adjusted my mindset. If I find out that my team won, that’s great! I’ll still watch the game and get the same enjoyment from…

Is this ‘The Mile Deep’ club?

That is priceless! The thrill of victory...and the agony of defeat!

I always thought that the pitcher had to have his back foot on the rubber to release the ball to home plate. Is that in error? His pitching motion looks to be illegal to me.

“Macho Row” referred to the section of the clubhouse where the team leaders dressed. Daulton, Dykstra and Kruk were the leaders of that team and the 3 of them had their lockers next to each other. Nothing happened on that team or in that clubhouse without the approval of Macho Row.

How cheesed off is Colin Kaepernick?

Look at the girl in the front on the lower right. She can’t even put her phone down to flip the bird. How do these kids manage to hit, catch or throw while holding a phone? Aren’t they taking a mighty big risk of breaking the phone if they have to slide into second?

Tough lesson, but one they have to take. Kudos to Little League for not caving under what I’m sure was intense pressure.
