Got the sad news tonight fellas. My 100 yo + 7 months mother has been called to come Home to be w/the Lord Jesus tonight. I've been expecting it so I'm not to big of a shock. I lost my dad back in March of 1960. This'll be the first time they have see each other in 65 years. I was over there w/her earlier today in the afternoon and you could tell it was time. She passed away on my brother's birthday today. God giveth and God taketh away.

It’s weird how important life events share the same day. My grandfather passed on my grandmother’s birthday. I think it’s God’s way of experiencing good days to help balance out the bad. I’m glad she gets to see her husband again but so sorry for y’all’s loss. 100 years is a heck of a lot longer than I expect to live though so hopefully she lived a long and happy life. RIP momma @W.TN.Orange Blood

My brother is doing all the leg work tonight. He's contacting people from all over the USA to let them know about what's going on w/this and that. I've only told my twin boys about her death and they were already expecting it to happen soon. She started going down hill fast starting Monday of this week. That's the reason I had to pick him up at the airport. He decided to get here quick after hearing this on Monday.

I really believe it's easier to handle when you know it's coming. The sudden deaths when all is considered okay is the ones that hit you the hardest...either way it's a sad thing...

Man, she's been wanting to go be w/the Lord Jesus for a long time now. I'm happy for her that she's finally w/Him & being back w/all her loved one's who went B4 her.

Good grief... Braves and Reds both scored 8 runs each in 8th inning... Tied 11-11 top 9th..

Dude had one good season a few years ago but has been nothing but average at best his other seasons. Mets should have said “No, you have to earn that number. If you win a title for us then you can have it.”

Clark is still going to be the most popular regardless. Just like Steph, shooting the deep ball like she does draws in the fans. And with all the other players seemingly hating on her she is only going to get more popular.

Who remembers this ad from the 1980s?

SIAP .....

Can’t say I’ve seen a single inning quite like the Braves at Reds tonight. Both teams scored 8 runs each in the 8th inning. Braves ended up winning 12-11 in 10 innings. According to ESPN, Braves had a 99.9% probability of winning after the top of the 8th and that shifted to as high as 66.7% in favor of the Reds heading into the bottom of the 9th.

@chuckiepoo your Astros act like they are serious about winning.
How do you feel about their moves?
Getting Correa back is huge, imo.

Sometime before the war, having ridden the bus to Chattanooga looking for work, my Dad made the decision to hitchhike home... and use his last nickel to buy a hamburger here.

Here is something to make you feel old:

In 2009, Charlie Morton was once teammates with Jack Wilson and pitched against Matt Holliday.

In 2025, Charlie Morton was teammates with Jackson Holliday (Matt’s son) and will pitch against Jacob Wilson (Jack’s son) later this season
