Remember Game 3 in the playoffs with the Ms that year? Bob Wolcott walked the first 3 batters—12 balls out of 13 pitches—and here’s Belle next up. We all thought the Ms were doomed. Belle was terrifying that year. Lou comes out, talks to Wolcott about his summer vacation plans. Calmed Wolcott down, who managed to…

And one hell of a pilot.

Yeah, and we also heard yoy say, “Donald Trump is so dumb he couldn’t pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel!”

It’s not even that. It’s that his name may have been mentioned by other people in their monitored communications. “Hey, did you see that crazy Rand Paul on the news? America has some stupid senators.”

And stop wearing that toupée.

In most states, it’s illegal to drive with .08 or more alcohol, or if you’re impaired. You may not get caught unless you’re driving poorly, but it’s still illegal.

Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Japan, Korea: Baseball games in those places are fun. Went to a KBO game a couple of summers ago and the batting team’s fans are on their feet the entire side of the inning, cheering, singing, stomping feet. It’s like going to an MLS game. The energy is incredible and infectious. What…

Conventional weapons may be enough to cripple the NK forces—but how do gou do that without sparking a devastating NK artillery barrage against Seoul?
