Today I won 12 whole yankee dollars from the county fair for a poem and a short story. Two red ribbons... Problem with subjective judging is that it is in fact subjective. a different judge might have blued me across the board. Love all y'all.

Big news. I've been writing for the Meade County Messenger. Who would have thought that #printjournalism would still be a thing in 2025? Yay local interest/local sports.

The Rays got some Morel Support!

Women's Lacrosse is one of the more fun sports I've encountered. I'm learning it quickly - eventually, I hope I'm half as good at LAX as I am at soccer.

Last night's lacrosse match was the opposite of "domination but winning 1-0" it was "holy shit this game is closer htan the score board shows" The difference goal keeping made. Had to send a player off. Some slashing and some cross checking and the tempers were a-flaring.

Mail day! The Pfaadts are from eBay and the post cards are from @metsuniverse.bsky.social thanks to @ngtcollectibles.bsky.social Sunday give away!

Scorebook Survey!!! As my current inventory dwindles, I am looking to make some business decisions. Whether you are a seasoned scorer or a newbie, please help me by filling out this survey. I appreciate any and all support ❤️ umbc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

That's not a photograph of Louisville Slugger Field...

Fly. The. W. My card from home. I really need to find a card design I like better.

Kept score book tonight. I’m out of practice.

the cubs could wear these electric blue kits for the rest of the season, and into forever and I wouldn't be mad.

the rain took my tournament pay this weekend by causing us to cancel a 9 game schedule. I've got some cards and stuff on my ebay store and other misc stuff. Take a look, see if thre's anything you might need/want on there. I've a 450 budget shortfall to make up for. www.ebay.com/str/hdstreas...

This bullpen is gonna be the death of me. Surely there's some dudes in fucking AAA or AA or hell independent ball that can throw fucking strikes, right?

My name is Dave, and I'm a kit snob. The Sedona Red jerseys with teal nameplates and front numbers and black team names and back numbers look terrible. Do better Arizona.

And the Cubs have a Cardiac Closer!

Congratulations to Chiamaka Okwuchukwu. But his uniform is definitely something... well soemthing else. Do not like.

Because we're not going to post our way out of Fascism. So we might as well enjoy shit when we can. Also, I mainly talk about sports because (see name) it's kinda how I make my living.

Lets go old school, Signal Affair.

What a knock by Tucker!

Tucker 2/2. Everyone else is having a shite day so far. Not going to blame the umpire, the paint job that Imanaga has been doing has been a touch high. I agree with JDS about not yelling about them.

I do like the teal piping on these black Arizona Diamondbacks alternate kits. I disagree with Boog, I like the two colour jerseys on the field. I'd always pick colour over white or gray.

Pfaadt gives up a double, a walk, and then gets out of the inning. Happy for the Louisville boy, kinda annoyed its against the Cubs. #CubsDiamonbacks #GoCubsGo

Somehow I missed that Louisville native Brandon Pfaadt had not only made the show 2 years ago. I need to collect some of his cards. :/

okay Cubs and Diamondbacks. Happy Shõta day. Gage Workman making his MLB debut.

I don't like St. Louis, BUT I love this bobble.

Hey @infieldflygrl.online I got recruited to be a baseball/softball cop and I was like "nope, that's a bridge too far."

LouCity FC wins 2-0! Local hero Jansen Wilson scored the insurance goal deep into the second half! #Football #Soccer #LouCityFC #OnlyTrueFandom #BoysInPurple #BoysOfButchertown

Long night was long. Got home from refereeing a double header in Bowling Green at exactly 0:12 EDT. Tried to fall asleep. Stared at the ceiling until 2:30ish. Slept til 10. Still kinda tired. Games went well. I'm really figuring out the rhythm behind the game of women's lacrosse. 1/

Happy Opening Day to all who celebrate.

It's Opening Day and my team is already last in the National League, 2 games back.

The Sugar Land Space Cowboys/Payasos del Rodeo de Sugar Land have killer cap logos. 10/10 would def rep the Rodeo Clown hat.

OUCH!!!!!!!! Also, Ted Williams never won a silver slugger? ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 725 5/9: Rarity: 449 ⬜️⬜️🟩 ⬜️⬜️🟩 🟩🟩🟩 Play at: immaculategrid.com

Huge beard, and my jersey number? Yes please!

I've had to take some time away from SM to try to reset my brainmeats. Then I ran into living memes while refereeing a soccer tournament so I decided I might as well come back. Hilariously the guy thinking he can yell whatever he wants thinks it's a free country until I tell him I don't have to

I've watched a ton of basketball in my life. It's a really weird flow to this game with the officiating.

If I had to describe the ACC referees for this Clemson vs. Louisville game, it would be inconsistent. And that's okay. It's okay for the referees to be inconsistent, I know it happens to me. But it's frustrating when you're a fan, a player or a coach.

And just like that, I <what's the verb for here> about religion and the fact that the majority of Evangelical American Christians I've met are the equivalent of skidmarked tighty whiteys. Breaking my own rules about trying hard not to <verb> about religion.

I think I like the way that my George Yankowski bit on my website turned out. Wanted to honour both his mil service and his baseball career. whole uploaded collection is at woodchipsnwhistles.github.io/home/Baseball/

@infieldflygrl.online I know how you feel about sport cops but i thought this was neat

Second generation high school umpire, just a different sport than daddy. This photo makes me stupid happy.
