  - I didn’t realize you were that passionate about CJ Mosley. -- nm - David Aug 1, 11:45 1
    - He's my world! - Krusty Aug 1, 12:00
Finished season 3 of Enterprise last night -- nm - Beryllium Aug 1, 11:15 1
- Remember when TV seasons were 25 episodes long? That's ... a bit too long. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 1, 11:29
Bol Bol makes Jokic look short...even though there's only a 2" height difference -- nm - prayformojo Aug 1, 11:00 2

  - yeah -- nm - prayformojo Aug 1, 11:13
Some members of the Cardinals apparently went to a casino last weekend. -- nm - David Aug 1, 10:41 13
- fine them. -- nm - Remlik Aug 1, 10:45 12
  - It’s 100% on MLB for not doing a bubble. -- nm - David Aug 1, 10:47 11
    - I don't disagree with you. But if players are this dumb. then they need a slap. -- nm - Remlik Aug 1, 12:32
    - Teams are too big! -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Aug 1, 10:51
    - No. You can’t blame baseball management when the players are this stupid. They spent months saying they were ready - Will Hunting Aug 1, 10:50 7
      - An NBA player was this stupid. What happened in a bubble? He got shut down. -- nm - David Aug 1, 11:45 5
        
        (And that strip club has been mobbed ever since.) -- nm - David Aug 1, 11:45 4
        
        I dunno. The food did look good - JD Aug 1, 11:50 1
        
        They serve food? -- nm - David Aug 1, 11:52
        
        wtf -- nm - mud Aug 1, 11:47 1
        
        Murica! -- nm - David Aug 1, 11:51
      - I agree with this. Apparently the when and where didn't include common sense day to day behavior -- nm - JD Aug 1, 10:55
    - Yep. I mean, i can't believe casinos are open, but still. -- nm - Andie Aug 1, 10:50
Lorenzo Cain has opted out of the MLB season -- (link) - Krusty Aug 1, 10:18 5
- One Marlin did, too. He's probably the smartest person in baseball today. -- nm - David Aug 1, 10:41 1
  - Yup. Without a bubble this looks like it's destined for failure. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 1, 11:12
- Rushing to be on the right side of History? -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Aug 1, 10:19 2
  - Wrong Side Of History -- (link) - mud Aug 1, 10:23 [youtube] 1

- Oh, no, who could have predicted this? (NM) - Marlowe Aug 1, 10:13
wap? Trump is only banning TikTok because... -- (link) - prayformojo Aug 1, 10:04 1
- I’m pretty sure Gen After-Z could do it. -- nm - Qale Aug 1, 11:28
The implication is that - after months of down time - the players need an excuse for fighting? -- nm - Mop Aug 1, 09:33
so, who was Trump's best appointment? It's one of two people, right? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 1, 09:22 25
- there was an inspector general he appointed then fired for doing his job -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 1, 11:16
- Best for who? -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Aug 1, 10:20
- Have you got one? -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 09:53 6
  - I was thinking Tillerson or Mattis -- nm - prayformojo Aug 1, 10:05 5
    - I’ll give a nod to Tillerson for putting his head down and trying to do the job despite being unqualified for it. -- nm - Tim Aug 1, 11:15
    - What did either achieve in the role? -- nm - Roger More Aug 1, 10:08 3
      - Scandallessness? - prayformojo Aug 1, 10:11 2
        
        I'm having similar issues to Krusty - it's hard to say they were the "best" when best = "often unsuccessful moderating influences" - Roger More Aug 1, 10:30 1
        
        sure, but who's been better? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 1, 10:33
- Sonny Perdue is very quiet and not convicted and got bipartisan support so him. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 09:38 6
  - If you ignore his calls to sell public lands to private companies to be used for development. -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 09:52 5
    - That’s at least a policy to be argued about. 2/3 of his cabinet have been let go for ethic issues or were terribly unqualified upfront. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 10:22
    - Best is, of course, *very* relative here -- nm - ty97 Aug 1, 10:01 3
      - True but I have a hard time saying any of these guys are the best when they're awful at their jobs. -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 10:09 2
        
        By this metric I would say Spicey. -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Aug 1, 10:52 1
        
        Ha! -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 10:53
- Chao has been... better than the rest? -- nm - Strongbad Aug 1, 09:34 4
  - Nah, she's as corrupt as the rest of them. We're still waiting on the funding to build new tunnels for the Northeaster Corridor. - Krusty Aug 1, 09:46
  - Mitch thinks so, I’m sure. - znufrii, drinking heavily Aug 1, 09:42 2
    - This? -- (link) - Krusty Aug 1, 09:46 1
      - Probably. -- nm - znufrii, drinking heavily Aug 1, 09:49
- The quietest of the lot, I assume. So... Rick Perry? -- nm - Mop Aug 1, 09:33 3
  - He quit last year and was incompetent and unqualified for his position. -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 09:49 2
    - he quit because he didn't want to be dragged into that 'drug deal' and he didn't do anything jaw dropping anti-whatever his job is that we know about -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 1, 11:14
    - But, then again, they all were. -- nm - Mop Aug 1, 09:53
First! -- nm - Mop Aug 1, 09:20
Question of the day -- (pic) - prayformojo Aug 1, 09:14 [Attachment] 6

      - Nathan went two for two. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 09:16
After watching Bonnie Tyler’s, “Total Eclipse Of The Heart,” video...I’m surprised we survived the 80s. It’s normal for a minute...then craziness - Flavorize Aug 1, 09:04 7
- Well, she did write the song for Meatloaf, so.. -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Aug 1, 10:15
- Normal for a minute....then AWESOME -- nm - ty97 Aug 1, 09:11
- You should watch the Literal Version. -- (link) - Reagen Aug 1, 09:08 [youtube] 1
  - Ha -- nm - Andie Aug 1, 09:09
- Okay. Now watch the Literal Video version. Trust me! -- (link) - Andie Aug 1, 09:07 [youtube] 2
  - That's the reverse of what I expected / was hoping for -- nm - JD Aug 1, 10:10
  - OMG! 😂 -- nm - Flavorize Aug 1, 09:18
I think the NHL will figure out the messaging in short order, Krusty - Reagen Aug 1, 09:02 1
- I think the lack of minorities in and around the game makes the issue of BLM less important to them. They saw what was happening with the NBA and MLB. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 1, 09:10
This is for Krusty -- (link) - decline Aug 1, 08:55 3
- It’s for the best. -- nm - Mop Aug 1, 09:21
- Now's our chance to bomb it and end two awful regimes! -- nm - Mel Profit si Aug 1, 09:00
- ha! it's funny bc it's probable -- nm - prayformojo Aug 1, 08:57
And...4 more St. Louis Cardinals test positive for the COVID. They gotta turn this off now. -- nm* - Diva Aug 1, 08:07 33
- What a cluster fuck. After all the back and forth, the negotiations and animosity, this is what they delivered. If the stop play now, they’re done. -- nm - Mop Aug 1, 09:10
- saw a story this morning that the Commissioner has told local MLB TV carriers to be prepared with alternate programming starting Monday. -- nm - sgtmike Aug 1, 08:54 3
  - sgtmike! -- nm - Diva Aug 1, 17:34
  - Hockey. -- nm - Mop Aug 1, 08:58
  - wow -- nm - prayformojo Aug 1, 08:58
- Rumors with the Marlins are they went out at night and partied. I wonder if it's the same with the Cards or something else. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 1, 08:15 15
  - The Marlins did but the source seems to be a flight attendant on their flight who is positive. - spamlet Aug 1, 10:04
  - Looks like there are no more Phillie cases -- (edited) - eag Aug 1, 08:52
  - Of course they did. -- nm - Andie Aug 1, 08:33 12
    - All it takes is one schmuck to go out, get infected and then spread it around the clubhouse. Without a bubble baseball will have a short season. - Krusty Aug 1, 08:51 11
      - I said yesterday to someone it will shut down by next Friday. 6 more days. -- nm - Andie Aug 1, 09:09 4
        
        I really hope they get their shit together and can keep going. -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 09:18 3
        
        You know whats funny - eag Aug 1, 09:29 2
        
        AZ and FL would have become hot spots while they were playing. It wouldn't have worked in either state, especially AZ. It's way too hot -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 1, 09:55 1
        
        Both those states got bad because of a failure of government and if they stayed it would have hit the teams harder than it's hitting them now. - Krusty Aug 1, 09:59
      - NFL is about a month from finding this out (if that) -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 08:52 5
        
        I do think the Marlins just gave NFL players a wake up call. - David Aug 1, 09:35 1
        
        Your asking 60 players per team to follow the rules - eag Aug 1, 09:39
        
        There worse about the whole party and club scene -- nm - eag Aug 1, 08:53 2
        
        Their issue is more that their sport is full contact. Guys are literally face to face all game long. -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 09:14 1
        
        Yep unless they go to flag football - eag Aug 1, 09:16
- See, we even beat the Cubs at getting sick! -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Aug 1, 08:14 1
  - It's yours. - zunk takes things literally Aug 1, 08:43
- I can’t believe they had positive tests on two players and then decided everyone getting on a ✈️ together was the best idea 🤦🏼‍♂️ -- nm - Flavorize Aug 1, 08:13
- And the NBA Bubble is in Florida of all places -- nm - budice Aug 1, 08:12 3
  - IF they stay in the hotel they might be fine. If one or two sneak out... Game over. (Literally) -- nm - Andie Aug 1, 08:36 1
    - The mlb players hit up a hotel bar in Atlanta. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 08:50
  - Well, we all know who's fault *THAT* is. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 1, 08:23
- Yup -- (link) - Tim Aug 1, 08:12 3
  - heh -- nm - prayformojo Aug 1, 08:32
  - Haha! -- nm - Diva Aug 1, 08:16 1
    - To be fair, getting rid of the Marlins isn’t a bad idea. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 08:23
- Yep. Cancel everything. Stop pretending things can be fine. -- nm - TWuG Aug 1, 08:10
Astronauts will leave ISS tonight and splash down tomorrow to complete SpaceX's first crewed flight -- (link) - TWuG Aug 1, 08:05 2
- START THE DRAFT!!! -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Aug 1, 10:14
- Vampirates and Cavemen getting left behind (again) -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 08:52
Great moments in TikTok history -- (link) - Flavorize Aug 1, 07:57
This story has already been mentioned on ST, but I'm linking it because the pixelation amuses me. - Blue Punch Baron Aug 1, 07:57
Let me get this straight, the virus is so out of control and serious we can't hold an election but it's fine for kids to go back to school? - Krusty Aug 1, 07:52 27
- Obviously school building aren't safe to vote in... but perfectly fine for 8 hour per day of teaching -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 1, 10:02 2
  - Right?! -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 10:54
  - And I love that mail in voting is still being debated. "We don't need it because it is safe now. Until it is not, then we need to delay." -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Aug 1, 10:50
- the key thing is that it's about getting parents back into the work force to get the economy going again. That's all it is for Trump -- nm - Remlik Aug 1, 08:29 2
  - No doubt. That he and others don't see the issues is just another on a long list of fallacies by this admin. -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 09:02 1
    - yyyuuuuppppp -- nm - Remlik Aug 1, 09:18
- I brought this same point up the other day but there was probably too much violence, snark and swearing in the post to be noticed. -- (edited) - Diva Aug 1, 08:04 [Backboard] 3
  - :-) I think I saw your post so maybe that got in my head with the idea. - Krusty Aug 1, 08:10 2
    - I want to go back to the days when one could go for days and not even think about who was currently president. -- nm - Diva Aug 1, 08:15 1
      - From your mouth to the ears of the voters -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 08:17
- You are assigning logic to Trump that he is incapable of caring about. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 07:55 3
  - So true. It was just on my mind the last couple of hours and was bothering me. -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 08:00 2
    - 94 days until a remedy, then A Reckoning (dun-Dun-DUN) -- nm - mud Aug 1, 08:15 1
      - Can you issue an executive order that all executive orders from say 2017 until 2021 are null and void? That would save so much time. -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 08:52
- Sorry for that first. I never pay attention to the board count. -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 07:52 12
  - I always thought it was an inside joke. It’s just something we’ve said for years not that anyone is really NOT supposed to post a serious 1st post. -- nm - Epiphany -Bewildered butterfly Aug 1, 10:05 5
    - He knows what he did. -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Aug 1, 10:22
    - *shrug* I just assumed people liked joke posts first. I think I was absent the day the first rule was made. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 10:20 3
      - Blame Jim. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 10:26 2
        
        Works for me. Fucking, Jim! -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 12:04
        
        Toga! -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Aug 1, 10:41
  - I don't get why so many are apologizing for this lately. It doesn't matter -- nm - mud Aug 1, 08:13 5
    - Yup -- nm - con_carne Aug 1, 09:01
    - This. So this. -- nm - Andie Aug 1, 08:35
    - Some people like the first to be more fun than a serious post. - Krusty Aug 1, 08:17 2
      - but I like posting something serious first! :-) -- nm - mud Aug 1, 08:21
      - Accepted of course, but I'm glad you brought the point up and the board placement doesn't matter to me. -- nm - Diva Aug 1, 08:19
