July, 1980 #Spaceman

Why do you hate the Twins Ken? They suck in all your replays. ;-)

...And I've been waiting for him to have a game-winning hit in order to share the story. It took 55 games because he never does anything for me in APBA. I guess I just care too much. This game can be spooky at times.

..That's the only other time I've seen him in person but I was just amazed that he actually remembered me of all the people he'd come in contact with in the past 10 years. And he always had an ready smile. Loved everyone. When he hit that WS home run I lost it and damn near broke the ceiling fan...

...my hair down past my shoulders and I had a beard. Joe comes walking over with that big smile on his face squinting in the sun to see who the hell yelled at and when he sees me he immediately yells out "Mr. Dennis" (that's just what he called me) and we share a few stories about the AA days...

......So fast forward 10 years and I'm at the Oakland Coliseum for a Blue Jays game and as usual I'm there for batting practice. Joe finished his swings and was walking towards the dugout when unplanned, I just yelled out hubba, hubba, hubba. Now I was a clean cut lad back when I was 20 but now...

...could put away some catfish. My crazed alcoholic mom was dating the head of the Cubs' boosters who had the most piercing voice I ever heard in my life. Before every bat he would yell hubba, hubba, hubba and the whole crowd could hear him and they would yell it back. It was distinct and unique...

... I'm a punk 20 year old and bat boy for the Midland Cubs that has an outfield of Henry Cotto Joe Carter and Carmelo Martinez. I got to know a few of the guys during that time but Joe stayed with a friend of ours when he was in town for spring training and games so I got to know him best. Dude...

...3-run home run to end Ontiveros' day in the 5th and put Cleveland ahead for good. Now for my Joe Carter story that I promised at the beginning of this thing. Start off saying I have every Carter card from his career and he never does anything for me in APBA. He's currently hitting. 247. So...

...the three middle frames and made a winner out of old Ken who survived the storm and notched a complete game despite giving up seven runs on 11 hits. Walking none helped. (Schrom had 4 CG in the IRL so this was going to be one of his best shots) Joe Carter woke up from his slump crushing a...

June 7, 1987 CLE at OAK SUPER JOE SPOILS A'S SWEEP, 9-7 (This is going to be a long one folks cuz it includes my Joe Carter story) Oakland jumped out 4-0 after the first three frames on Cleveland starter Ken Schrom but that was as good as it would get as the Indians exploded for nine runs in...

Prison for Bovino and friends is the moderate position.

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

Last day of the Baseball Winter Meetings from 50 years ago, and I'm quickly reviewing those trades which finalized the 1976 Topps Traded checklist, plus a couple of others which wouldn't affect Traded shlabotnikreport.wordpress.com/2025/12/12/t...

Hang on a second... Where are the epstein files?

I had an insightful conversation recently with a former politician wherein we commiserated at the lack of internationalism among progressive/left/pro-democracy forces, even as the right excels at it. It would require, imo, Americans embracing this kind of thing www.politico.eu/article/dani...

1915 9/28/73 CAL (64-95) @ MIN (97-62) A's have already won, so Twins need to win here just to remain 1 gm back. Today, Angels start rookie Frank Tanana (1-1, 3.43 in 3 starts). Twins go with co-closer Ray Corbin (6-7, 15 Svs, 4.56 in 5 starts, 42 rlf). Starting choice feels like desperation.

1980 Season Replay 5-4-80 Orioles (7-13) vs Rangers (6-14) Orioles take advantage of Ranger errors and get 2 RBI from Mike Belanger as they beat Texas 4-2. Dennis Martinez 6IP 5H 2 ER. Comer 5 starts, 5 losses. WP: Dennis Martinez (1-1) LP: Steve Comer (0-5) HR: None

1914 9/28/73 CHW (63-96) @ OAK (98-61) Reigning World Series Champs, A's play the final wknd hosting the White Sox for 3. They are currently 1 gm up on the Twins. Today, in a Hall of Fame match-up, White Sox start Jim Kaat (2-3, 3.66 in 6 starts). A's go with Jim Hunter (18-12, 2.63 in 34 starts).

Sorry for using comics and art to vent and cope with the world changing around me. I will return to drawing whimsical and silly frog wizards and adventures.

Feels more and more like bluesky has its finger on the pulse of what normal people want and X is an echo chamber of weird men with no social skills

I am going to miss Pete a lot, but if the Mets were letting him walk, the Orioles was the best outcome I could have hoped for. Pete Alonso and the Bird Bath is a match made in heaven. I think Baltimore will be good to him. Please treat him well, O's fans. He's our large home run hitting goober. 🧡

Love the idea of the NBA Cup, but it does create some weirdness. Such as: 1) Spurs having to extend a road trip to LA that began in Orlando 2) Spurs could have to play 5 games vs OKC, huge in a tight playoff race 3) It's in the best interest to sit the best player, even if it costs everyone $500K
