@vintagegazette @Jimfrombaseball Sorry - it’s AUGIE.

[William E. McDade @MCJazzer]

@vintagegazette @Jimfrombaseball Yeah, guess Angie was trying to make up for stealing Lou Brock from the Cubs.

@jkuehn50 Wow, didn’t realize she graduated the same year I did. I didn’t go to my reunion, really wasn’t interested, & besides, w/ a young puppy to take care of, it wasn’t really possible. My HS girlfriend tracked me down, though, & we talked for a while on Zoom. Interesting experience.

[William E. McDade @MCJazzer]

@jkuehn50 Great pic! Back on the home turf, nice to see.

@Jimfrombaseball 2nd floor, 3rd floor, whatever - still NUTS!

[William E. McDade @MCJazzer]

@Jimfrombaseball Sounds like he was the equal of Stan the Man as far as being a good sport & a terrific human!

[William E. McDade @MCJazzer]

@NancySinatra LOVE seeing her on the Hawaiian Eye show re-runs!They would have her sing a song almost every episode, & it was always fantastic!

@NiallHarbison Maybe the most dramatic & heartwarming rescue of all. Bless his little heart, & yours too. Wasn’t he adopted?

[William E. McDade @MCJazzer]

@Jimfrombaseball Headline in local paper the day after he was running the bases & was hit on the head sliding into 2B by a throw from the shortstop trying to complete a double play. He was knocked out cold, taken off the field on a stretcher & taken to the hospital.

@ArtC_Jaramillo @Jimfrombaseball Possibly the best scene in a great movie full of great scenes! Only thing missing here is, “This is a simple game - you throw the ball. You hit the ball. You catch the ball. You GOT IT?!”

[William E. McDade @MCJazzer]

@StevenP30730282 @Jimfrombaseball And he throws a bunch of bats into the shower - that got their attention!

@jkuehn50 @nytimes On June 21, 2025, Trump said that the bombing raids the U.S. had just conducted had “completely & totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities. So I guess that wasn’t true?!

[William E. McDade @MCJazzer]

@jkuehn50 @nytimes The amount of $ being wasted on this pointless war is pretty massive.

[William E. McDade @MCJazzer]

@jkuehn50 Did you see all the “space shanty” compositions?! Some great stuff.

[William E. McDade @MCJazzer]

What the %#&* is THIS?!

USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN NEEDS HELP. THIS IS NOT A MILITARY RECORD TO CELEBRATE. THIS NOT OK AND ITS NOT UP FOR DEBATE.

My husband is a Navy vet.
(HEGSETH WE WANT ANSWERS!)

He is disgusted by what is being done to the sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. (Rumor of others as well)

The carrier left San Diego on November 21, 2025.

One brief port call in Guam on December 11–12.
(HEGSETH WE WANT ANSWERS!)

That was the last time the crew had shore leave.

As of August 2, 2026, roughly 233 consecutive days have passed since that port call.

The ship has been away from homeport for more than 250 days.
(HEGSETH WE WANT ANSWERS!)

That means approximately 5,000 sailors have spent more than seven months at sea with virtually no chance to step onto solid ground.

The Lincoln was originally deployed to the Indo-Pacific.
(HEGSETH WE WANT ANSWERS!)

Then it was redirected toward the Middle East as tensions with Iran escalated.

It entered the U.S. 5th Fleet area and supported combat operations during Operation Epic Fury, including flight operations, maritime security, and protection of shipping.
(HEGSETH WE WANT ANSWERS!)

The Lincoln has now passed the previous modern record of 206 consecutive days at sea, set by the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower during COVID

Yes, a nuclear-powered carrier can remain underway.
(HEGSETH WE WANT ANSWERS!)

A normal carrier deployment includes port visits for rest, repairs, medical care, and basic human recovery.

This crew has been pushed far beyond normal limits.
(HEGSETH WE WANT ANSWERS!)

The Navy praises their “grit” and “resilience.”

Of course they are resilient.
They have no choice.

But resilience is not an unlimited resource.

Don’t we owe our service men and women better?

HEGSETH WE WANT ANSWERS NOW!
These sailors have done their duty.
They have done more than enough.

Bring the USS Abraham Lincoln home.

@Jimfrombaseball Sheesh! That makes Tal’s Hill in the Astros’ outfield look like a molehill!

[William E. McDade @MCJazzer]

@TheRedbirdWay @byajstone The defense in CF has been very good. The hitting is another story…

@jkuehn50 I could only read the first several paragraphs, because I’m not gonna sign up for access, but why are you posting sh*t like this? Is no better than Faux Newz, except maybe a little wittier.

@Jimfrombaseball Nice to see Kenny Boyer get some love.
