When that happens do you drive up to the edge of a cliff to scare it and stop the hiccupping?

Don't call him Shirley!

There's a joke in there somewhere about @Coolwave35 and fast food... 😁😇🤣

He's a catcher, which means he squats 150+ times a game. Many catchers have great butts. Joe Girardi's was a thing of beauty during his playing days (and his forearms remain deliciously beefy).

I can relate... I took someone's umbrella once by mistake on the bus. I felt just awful about it. This reads like the beginning of a really interesting Dear Abby letter.

I once had a problem getting something out of Turkey. Brad Davis played me in the movie.

Martha Stewart selling $250 tickets to a charitable ‘tag sale’ at her tony Westchester farm https://pagesix.com/2022/04/17/martha-stewart-selling-250-tickets-to-a-tag-sale-at-her-tony-westchester-farm/ Martha Stewart says she is cleaning house — selling “this and that” in a “Great American Tag Sale” at her northern Westchester County estate next weekend. But it’s going to cost you. Stewart, 80, is selling tickets for the event at “Martha’s Farm” in tony Katonah, with the price as high as $250 for choice time slots Saturday and Sunday — and $25 for less favorable later hours, New York magazine said. “There will be something for everyone at the Great American Tag Sale,” Stewart said in an Instagram post last week. “I’m selling thousands of items — furniture, tableware, kitchenware, textiles, lighting, bedding, rugs, vintage, antique, lightly used, and so much more,” she wrote. “Proceeds go to the @mountsinainyc Martha Stewart Centers for Living. “Buy your tickets now and get ready to find some treasures! Go to marthatagsale.com.” The image accompanying the post showed a tent filled with wicker chairs. The life-and-style icon and TV personality apparently needs to clear space at her Katonah farm — earlier this month, she stocked up on goods in Tulsa, Okla. “Flying home with 8 cercis canadensis the state tree of Oklahoma!!!!!” she wrote on Instagram with a photo of a smiling Stewart carting the trees home in a private jet. “Bought at Stringer Nursery in Tulsa,” she wrote. “Also stopped at a charming @antiquary and found a great table and a signed Bunnykins dish….” I'm off to break open my piggy bank...

So is paint drying. And drying paint doesn't have Tyler Wade playing for it! BTW, as an Angels and Yankees fan, you must be enjoying the start Andrew Heaney has gotten off to for the Dodgers. Yeah, but he's 20, and deGrom is closer to 45 than to 20.

Liz Sheridan, best known for playing Raquel Ochmonek on the beloved legendary NBC sitcom ALF, has died of natural causes at the age of 93. Sheridan was also known for being one of Elizabeth Montgomery's best friends and for having boffed James Dean (the actor, not the sausage guy). She also played Jerry Seinfeld's mother in some obscure sitcom I can never remember the name of. Her death came 2 weeks after the death of another 93 year old thespian who also worked on that obscure sitcom, Estelle Harris.

Tyler looks like he may be adding some facial hair. I'm sure it would look yummy! Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki, 20, throws 19-strikeout perfect game Japanese pitching phenom Roki Sasaki, 20, extends streak to 17 consecutive perfect innings Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print How do you improve on perfection? Roki Sasaki is doing his best to find out. In his first start since throwing the first perfect game in Nippon Professional Baseball since 1994, Sasaki, 20, almost did it again for the Chiba Lotte Marines, as he was pulled after eight perfect innings in a 1-0 loss to the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters on Sunday. The right-hander amassed 14 strikeouts before he was pulled from a scoreless game after throwing 102 pitches. Of note: He was taken out after he struck out the side in the eighth inning with his pitches reportedly still reaching 101 mph. Sasaki hasn't allowed an opposing hitter to reach base in an NPB-record 52 consecutive plate appearances. Through four starts this season, Sasaki has a 1.16 ERA, 56 strikeouts and has allowed seven hits and two walks in 31 innings pitched.

My sentiments exactly. I've been checking out the box scores & reading some articles, but haven't watched one minute. I'm still turned off by all that went on.

Amanda Seales left because they wouldn't let her discuss more substantive stuff. And it's just never been the same without Tam. I feel your pain, man!

The episode that's called Life, Death, and Admiral Andy on youtube us mislabeled; unfortunately, that episode ain't there.

The history behind Woodhaven’s Dexter Park Photo courtesy of Woodhaven Cultural and Historical Society Dexter Park has led many lives. Located on Jamaica Avenue, near the Brooklyn-Queens border on the west end of Woodhaven, Dexter Park was a public park when it was founded in 1872. Later, as the area all around it began to develop, Dexter Park became a recreational outlet. For a while, it was a popular area for shooting pigeons. Maps of the property in 1901 show a dance hall, a bowling alley and a hotel on the grounds. Nobody knows for certain where Dexter Park got its name. One story says it was named after a horse that was buried on the grounds. Another is that it was named after a man named Charles Dexter, who owned the land for a while. As baseball became more popular, semi-professional leagues began forming to satisfy the demand for the game. Teams from all over began to play baseball at Dexter Park around the turn of the century. And that’s when Max Rosner enters the picture. As a young man, Rosner was an immigrant from Hungary who arrived here in 1892 and opened a cigar shop. He became enamored with the game, played shortstop for a while and eventually took over as manager of the Bushwicks, a Brooklyn-based team that played frequently as Dexter Park, which had become the home field for the Brooklyn Royal Giants, one of the top teams in the Negro Leagues. Dexter Park became the full-time home of the Bushwicks in 1913 and in 1922, Rosner partnered with team owner Nat Strong and became co-owners in the team. Together, they bought Dexter Park for $200,000. Almost immediately, they announced plans to build a grandstand, made completely from cement and steel, and seating over 7,000 fans. Additionally, the new stadium would also have wooden bleachers that would accommodate 5,000 spectators. The Bushwicks played other local semi-pro teams but the majority of the time they played against the famous Negro League teams of that time, including the Homestead Greys and the Black Yankees. Some of the most famous African American players of the time came to Woodhaven to show off their skills, Josh Gibson, Satchel Paige and Jackie Robinson among them. Another popular opponent was the House of David, a barnstorming team born from a religious group. The players had long hair and beards and used baseball to raise money and spread their word. Sometimes, they hired famous ball players that would either grow beards or wear false ones in order to play. And after the major league season was over, Rosner and Strong would bring in All-Star teams from the National and American Leagues, or teams called World Series Stars, meaning that many of the game’s greatest stars came to Woodhaven. Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig were regulars, as was Hank Greenberg, Carl Hubbell, Dizzy Dean, Jimmy Foxx, Joe DiMaggio and Casey Stengel. Many other future Hall of Famers came to play ball in Woodhaven. Two Yankee legends, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, were among the baseball greats who played at Woodhaven’s Dexter Park. The above photo was taken on Columbus Day in 1928, when 20,000 fans turned out at Dexter Park, where Ruth and Gehrig entertained the crowd prior to taking part in a game against the Bushwicks. On one memorable day in 1935, legendary pitchers Dazzy Vance and Grover Cleveland Alexander faced off against each other in the first game of a doubleheader. Rosner’s son Herman was a lawyer and an electrician and it was he who set up the light towers so that Dexter Park, on July 23, 1930, became the first stadium in the nation to regularly feature night games, five seasons before the first night game in the Major Leagues (in Cincinnati in 1935). Rosner was very generous with his stadium, giving away free tickets regularly and using the stadium for fundraisers for good causes, such as selling war bonds. He was so beloved in Woodhaven the Leader referred to him as Uncle Max. There were many factors that sealed Dexter Park’s fate. When Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier, the best Negro League players went into the Major Leagues and their fans followed. At around the same time, baseball began televising games, especially the World Series. This led to increased popularity for Major League games. Attendance at Dexter Park suffered and the Bushwicks folded. In 1951 Rosner announced that Dexter would host stock car racing and for the next few years the roar of engines became a familiar sound in that part of Woodhaven. Racing gave Dexter Park a temporary shot in the arm but it was short lived. Rosner passed away in 1953 and a few years later the park closed for good. The property was sold and converted into residential housing. Today, only a marker erected by the Woodhaven Cultural & Historical Society reminds locals that there used to be a ballfield here. The Woodhaven Cultural and Historical Society erected this marker at the former site of Dexter Park, noting its link to baseball history.

The Real: Cancelled, No Ninth Season for Daytime Talk Show April 9, 2022. Daytime television will be a little less real in the fall. The Real has been cancelled after eight seasons by Warner Bros. Television. The syndicated daytime talk show airs on Fox-owned stations in major markets, and Variety reports that Fox stations were opting out of bringing the series back next fall. That loss of stations led to the series’ cancellation. Hosted by Garcelle Beauvais, Adrienne Houghton, Loni Love, and Jeannie Mai Jenkins, the ladies tackle current event topics of the day. The daytime series uses a panel format similar to the one seen on The View on ABC, and The Talk on CBS. The Real premiered in 2013, and it became a staple of Fox-owned stations in 2014. An end date for the series has not yet been revealed but it won’t be returning in the fall.
