@larsiu eh some with opportunity grow tired of shit after 7. 8. Years. Trade it in and get that new wife smell

I've heard. My wife and I have fully entered the "mutually assured destruction" phase where any shake up now means we both work til we're 75. It's a powerful salve for most issues these days.

@larsiu correct.  and you get tired.  this is literally this morning.  fall break so daughter wants to go get her permit id.  passed the test months ago but had to go to a different dmv to get the permit card.  we waited two months.  now we find out that delays her actually ability to drive alone another two months.  she's losing her shit in the parking lot of the dmv.  i look down at my phone and find an email from my minion's kindergarten pe teacher. 

dear xxxxx "This is to inform you that xxxx arrived 15 minutes late to PE.  Because he eloped he was unable to perform various locomotor movements on a red line."

i wrote back: 

arrived fifteen minutes late to pe?  where was he?  outside smoking?  his car not start?  

eloped.  locomotor.  he's fucking five.  where was he. no reply.  i almost never get a reply to my responsive emails

@bar-down yeah, you know i'm thinking if i'm that school i'm probably NOT telling you we lost your 5y/o for 15 mins and referring to it as "eloping" which has a very specific meaning. God everybody just keeps getting dumber

 I was at the 82 world series with the cards and brewers. I was a little kid.   With my dad uncle cousin and I brought my best friend. Dad drove a dump truck and uncle was an asphalt guy.  

how many groups like that get to go today. 

I'm 59 and was therefore about 8 years old at my first game.  It might have been this one (I found this ticket picture by google, though, I didn't save the stubs, sadly).

$4.50 for good seats.  I remember street parking being free too.  Being poor, we didn't buy food, but stopped at Frisch's Big Boy either before or after.

s l1600

 

My dad took me on a bus trip from Evansville to St. Louis to see the Reds/Cards in the 60's.  I only remember Maloney, Rose and Pinson from the Reds. Jim Maloney pitched and Reds lost 3-2.  I looked it up and it was Sunday 8/6/67. One of my biggest memories from the bus trip was really having to piss and the bus wouldn't stop. Lots of card games on the bus. I was 9 and that was probably my first big league game though went to quite a few Whitesox double A games in Evansville. Reggie Jackson, joe rudi, Rollie fingers, Dave duncan and Tony Larussa  came to Eville while playing for the Birmingham A's.  I think that Reggie tore them up in a Double header that I attended because I remember my dad telling me that guy would be really good. 

I do not have the ticket but attended Game 6 of the 72 World Series when the Reds beat those same A's 8-1(??). Unfortunately they lost Game 7.   My brother lived in Cincy during the Big Red Machine era and got tix to a lot of games thru the 70s. Reds should have never lost that 72 series.  Bobby Tolan made a couple of crucial errors that cost them a couple of runs in a 3-2 loss in Game 7.

Water is wet. The sky is blue. Messi is the GOAT. You get the idea.

Is this the world against the Dodgers or do we have some Dodgers fans here?

I’ve hated the Dodgers since 1959.

Let’s keep this board about politics not sports

Same goes for Harris.  

The Sox are my AL team and 2nd favorite team. I keep hoping that a rematch of 59 will happen someday. 

 

 

You have a “2nd favorite” team? How big is the gap between 1st and 2nd? Who is your third favorite team? Fifth? Are you five years old?
