Holy moly.

Shredded shallow rag

Without a kind word for our neighbor
That flag we hold so dear
Is nothing but meaningless colors
On some random post in the air

@JarrettMentink Same guys who think Angie talks too much about the actual game, probably got all warm and woody at Valle and Jay the other night telling war stories that had nothing to do with what was happening on the field. Aaron could barely get a play by play word in.

@JarrettMentink Classic case of a woman being twice as good and still getting dissed by some dude who’s still pissed he peaked in JV golf.

@d_mcdavid19960 @cougsgo .101 but your point is still valid.

[William Walker @RubyCreek]

@cougsgo Dan’s a mystery. What’s not a mystery is the KC pitcher’s mindset “just don’t let Julio and Randy beat me, I’ve got two outs waiting in the 4 and 5 hole.”

@SoxOn35th Turn your back on the runner you’re gonna get steamrolled and it’ll be your fault. Nothing to argue about here unless Venable just wanted a beer.

[William Walker @RubyCreek]

I do love me some poetry… inspired by great men, courage, old friends, woke culture, rebellion, and baseball.

Happy Mother’s Day, @AngieMentink . Absolute legend. ☮️❤️⚾️ #gohuskies

[Daniel Kramer @DKramer_]

Angie Mentink is the Momma Bear of T-Mobile Park.

And this Mother's Day carries so much more significance after she overcame a stroke earlier this year.

"She's just taught us to be fearless in life."

@watchkeep From the parents circling the wagons to defend the perp, there’s always blame to dump on the “disgruntled” one. …and you wouldn’t associate with them, would you? It’s all manipulation to protect the perp. And the cold irony here is protection of evil in the name of Jesus.
