as a coach myself, it ain’t the coaching. We coach 9 year olds and stress to them field awareness and knowing your roll. for example, last night. bases loaded, grounder right to the SS. the kid of second takes 4 or 5 steps towards 3rd, see’s the SS with the ball and heads back to 2nd. me and the other coach are both yelling “tag him!”. instead, he watches the kid run right by him, then chases him halfway to 3rd, and then throws the ball away.
kids are kind of stupid sometimes.

Boehner saying Obama was trying to misdirect the American people from the jobs/economy by supporting gay marriage was a real treat to read on closed caption. Al Sharpton, who apparently contracted AIDS as he’s melting away, was complaining about a war against the poor with a sneering headshot of Boehner.

What does this mean? You’re pissed because he went to a fund raiser hosted by George Clooney?
It’s not that he went to a Hollywood fundraiser. It’s that he went RIGHT AFTER he announced his support for gay marriage. Nothing wrong with it, and it’s a brilliant campaign move, but it doesn’t look right. There were other issues that need to be dealt with such as the Repubs wanting to slash Medicare, Meals on Wheels, and other social programs to try and save $1 trillion.

yeah, I caught the second half after our little league game. Baum Stadium is awesome, probably puts 3/4 of minor league parks to shame in all honesty.
as for the Hogs, they have no offense to speak of. zero. the HR Reynold hit last night was there 8th in SEC play, and that is through 25 games. their bats are pathetic. they have wasted so many good pitching performances this year because they can’t score more than 2 runs. they have something like the 5th best ERA in the nation, and are .500 in SEC play. it’s quite pathetic really.

Everyone is making a big deal out of Obama’s coming out for gay marriage and the timing, but the truth is he’s been for it since at least 1996. And who cares about the fucking timing. It’s a pretty big deal that our president supports it.
May 11th, 2012 at 9:36 AM
I honestly don’t, but this is what happens in modern politics because the media needs something…anything…to talk about every second. Instead of admitting that there isn’t news at every moment, they try so hard to find crap and call it news to prove their argument.

I read that Post article. When you’re up for POTUS these things get reported. IIRC they sourced 5 different people who were there. It’s good reporting. I don’t think it makes or breaks anything to the vast majority of the voters, but to say it’s not a valid story is far-fetched.
May 11th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
if the president, or any politician, put everything else on hold until those problems were solved nothing would be accomplished while they were in office.
May 11th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
as for the Hogs, they have no offense to speak of. zero.
On the flip side, Auburn leads the SEC in hitting (maybe?) yet are at .500 b/c their pitching is weak.
Pitching in college has really improved over the last 5-7 years – along with changes to the bats. I would have to verify but it just appears that run scoring is down over the last few years.
May 11th, 2012 at 9:38 AM
Exactly. Obama has been for gay marriage for a long time, but the internal polling they have now told them that it won’t lose him an election like it might have just 4 years ago. It’s more symbolic than anything else that he’s actually saying it out loud, though.

May 11th, 2012 at 9:40 AM
It definitely has. The new bats just don’t have the same pop. MLB is working on a new partnership with the NCAA, and one of the rumors is that they are pushing for wood bats in college. Not sure how that would work with all the sponsorships from those bat companies though.

Cutting Medicare funds would really hurt our health care system. Medicare is the majority payor for most hospitals in this country. With the Baby Boomers retiring or set to retire, they’re going to need that program in a few years. You can’t turn your back on that generation, who played a huge role in economic development for the past 50 years.

You need to get local honey though, not a store bought brand. The local honey helps due to the bees using the local pollens and what not.
May 11th, 2012 at 9:46 AM
How many people do you think read (or will have read) the article by Nov? Take that number and compare it to the amount of people who will have been told whatever Fox News has made up in the past 4 years and get back to me.

you should find local/regional honey, which is generally more expensive (and tastes better!).
Theory – creating an immunity to pollen through ingestion (or some such stuff).
I make my kid fruit smoothies almost every night before he goes to bed and each one has 1 TBLSP minimum of honey in it. I’ve been doing that for about 2 years and this Spring was a breeze – only 2-3 days of sinus stuff.
May 11th, 2012 at 9:47 AM
100% serious. Mostly because of your use of “floppy.”

May 11th, 2012 at 9:48 AM
Auburn’s best hitter was out last night too. agree with you on both pitching and the bats though. shit, Arkansas moved the RF fences in this year (part because of bats, part because of prevailing wind always coming in from RF) and they still can’t hit for power.
Auburn’s starter last night was a mid-week pitcher most of the year.
I admittedly love the ping! of the college game, but I would have no problem if they switched to wood bats.

Advice to future parents of athletes… the fruit smoothies has helped my boys with their work outs. They never cramp and they always seem to have plenty of energy (partly genes, but …). The nightly smoothie is a great way to fill up a kid before bed to help him sleep, load up on potassium and get him ready for the next day. It’s cheaper than you think if you buy fresh.
My middle-school guy had 7:00AM conditioning all spring and has yet to have any issues with cramps and puking.

May 11th, 2012 at 9:56 AM
Though if true, it holds up to how Romney has viewed gays and gay marriage. He’s very much anti-gay thanks to be such a devout Mormon. So when he tries to say he is this or that on the subject, you can see by his actions (political donations to anti-causes) and statements (saying even civil unions shouldn’t be allowed) you know he’s full of shit.

That’s actually not what I’m saying at all.
I don’t remember the NYTimes, or WaPo — rightly — covering the Birther nonsense with a front page feature, being critical/skeptical of Obama himself.
To counter, they just ran a huge front page splash on Romney’s high school pranks.
So the birther idiocy is out. For example, did the NYTimes ever do a front page story on Obama the high school drug-addict?
May 11th, 2012 at 10:11 AM
Do I care that White Bread was a stuck up prick in HS? No. Him being a dick as a spoiled rich kid is in no way surprising. But this is what happens when someone runs for President. Your life is ripped apart. You don’t think Fox News or Drudge or Breitbart wasn’t trying desperately to find this exact same piece on Obama the past 4 years? Of course they were. So either they’re incompetent investigative journalists (could be, but I doubt it) or there isn’t much to find.

But back to the Elite Media being pro-Obama. Yeah, I’d say they are. But of course it isn’t like there aren’t plenty of (very popular) entities that are far more anti-Obama. But just like I tell people who bitch about academics and professors being liberal: if you want a more conservative academic crowd, go into that arena. But most people who value teaching at that level and researching don’t seem to be very conservative. Not sure why, but that’s the way it is. It’s the same way with journalists.

May 11th, 2012 at 11:08 AM
Husker Dawg is straining awfully hard to defend that fundamentally irrelevant but inflammatory piece of journalism. Not sure why what Romney may have done (the family has denied it) almost fifty years ago is relevant. You say it is because it shows Romney to be a prick and a presumed homophobe, yet Obama recounts how he bullied a girl in one of his eight autobiographies and I’d hardly suspect that has any bearing on the man today. As for a position on gay rights, I’m guessing if Obama’s views can “evolve” in the course of a week (just in time to get a lot of donations), Romney’s can, too. Romney FWIW favors civil unions and gay adoption, and that is functionally as relevant as Obama’s “let the states decide” approach. Please, stop trying to pretend what the Post did was serious journalism because it had five sources (though not the source that would be important); I will take the Post seriously when it looks into what Obama was doing during the entire decade of the 80s, or they tell us what Obama’s high school or college grades are.

And the Post was “reporting” on what Joe McGuiness (spelling?) said about Obama and his ex in his new biography; none of what was revealed was especially damaging or interesting – it suggested Obama was a bit aloof and impressed with himself, but we knew that already. When the Post devotes resources to actual muckraking, articles on Romney as a high school bully are what get printed. And this is supposedly one of the leading lights of American journalism!

Political Fridays are terrible. Arguing about this stuff on the internet is pointless. HuskerDawg is never going to admit when MIKE NYC is right about something or makes a good point, and vice versa.
The worst part is that people who ordinarily have good points on sports topics or consistently make me laugh, make me think so much less of them when they argue politics.
Except for the Sportsgunt. She’ll always be a ragingly mad dirt hoar to me. NTTAWWT. I’d breast feed from her on the cover of Time. Hint, hint.

“His pants fell down, and he followed shortly thereafter.”
I have experienced days like that, and am glad not to have had the police called on me.
