The movie "Jaws" was released 50 years ago today in 1975. I went to see it 5 times.
2 out of the 3 actors shown here have passed away.

Total Truth....Four of us guys in June 1975 went to St Louis to watch a weekend series between the Cardinals and Dodgers. It was the week Jaws came out. The game Saturday was a afternoon game and we had the evening to do whatever....We decided to go to a theater not far from where we were staying and see Jaws. The next day was an afternoon game. After the game we headed back to West Tennessee......At that time there was no bridge to cross the Mississippi River at Dyersburg....you had to take a ferry across this Mississippi....It was 9:30 at night....dark....and we all had Jaws on our minds. We all sat in the car instead of standing out on the rail because we were too scared...LOL. Never forget that.

Pick who starts All-Star game pitching for American League.

Max Fried 9-2 with a 1.89 ERA and .95 whip

Tarik Skubal 8-2 2.06 ERA with a .85 whip.

Skubal starts, the punchouts give him the edge, followed by Fried and Crochet is a very close 3rd.
Regardless who starts, all 3 are nasty!

If Mariners were in 1st place, then Cal Raleigh would be leader for American League M.V.P. the guy has blasted two out of Wrigley Field today .

Cal Raleigh is playing really well.
Even if you take away his offensive numbers, he’s still one of the best defensive catchers in the bigs.

Really don't wanna know what the dispute is now, I just hit like on everything whether I agree with the post or not.


Btw: The Dodgers and Padres really hate each other. Ohtani got beamed twice in the series and Tatis Jr. Got beamed twice. Managers almost fought and Freddie was the peace maker along with Teoscar ...🤣🤣

Now that you remind me, those teams didn’t like each other a d-mn bit last year. 😂

Pushing male P or female P?

Nearly every fan, including myself, is overly hyperbolic about their team’s struggles whenever they are losing. Everyone in MLB knew the Dodgers would be there at the end. No luck about it. They are just that good.

Let’s say “positivity.”

And yeah, 52 told me at season’s end that he does that meltdown every year. I didn’t know.
