Kitty Burke is the only woman to have an at-bat in an MLB game. She went 0-1 with a ground out.

I spent my 21st in Blake's. I vaguely remember a guy singing blues and the downstairs being an absolute pit.

A bar down on Claremont was my favorite Berkeley-era dive bar.

Paparazzi go to look for evidence of Aaron Rodger's marriage. There isn't any, sparking doubt.

Sorry. For the moment, I will call the press trolling idiots. The county in which Rodgers resides and Slots Vegas are but *two* possible locations. Since the press is obviously lacking in imagination, they're also engaging in the time-honored practice of trying to Prove a Negative by Innuendo.

I'm not a fan of Rodgers' antics, but the press/paparazzi is just trolling...and stupid.

Is it going to be that he married himself, or God, or...?

The A’s pushed their winning streak to four games in epic fashion on Monday night, walking off on a mammoth home run to beat the Houston Astros 3-1 for the team’s 30th win. Who doesn’t love a good walk off?

They are dead to me. I hope they have to bury those hats en masse in some landfill in New Mexico.

Shohei Ohtani returns to the mound, his bat leads way to Dodgers win

https://www.truebluela.com/2025/6/16/24450590/dodgers-padres-shohei-ohtani

The Padres scored a run off Shohei Ohtani in the first, but the best player in the world has the ability to fix his mistakes. Ohtani’s RBI double in the third briefly tied up this game. A couple of innings later, he was once again involved in the scoring with an RBI knock as the Dodgers rallied around Dylan Cease for five runs in the fourth to take a commanding lead they’d never relinquish, winning this 6-3.

The Big Beautiful Bill enables the potential sale of massive swathes (250 million acres) of public land in order to try to backfill the budget deficit, with 2 million via forced sale. They are selling your birthright.

America doesn't have the ability to just create a cell phone out of thin air. You mean Trump is lying and grifting? Shocking, I know.

Maybe the Department of Interior wants to collect negative comments about the country in order to improve it. Then again maybe we're spiraling towards full on totalitarianism.

John Eastman's appeals via the California State Bar disciplinary board failed. He can take it up with CA Supreme Court - but he is about to be officially disbarred in California. FAFO

Arkansas pitcher Gage Wood No-Nos cinderalla team Murray State. Only a HBP away from a perfect game. And Gage Wood sounds like a made-up name starring Nick Cage.

I wonder what his game score is. Not sure if they calculate it for non-MLB games. Too the googles!

It’s time for another edition of Oski Disciple’s quote of the day.

“A troll is someone who wants you to feel, for a few seconds, as miserable as they do their entire existence.” — Ricky Gervais.
