"What do you get from loss?" asks Stephen Colbert, discussing grief with @andersoncooper. "You get awareness of other people's loss, which allows you to connect with that other person, which allows you to love more deeply and understand what it's like to be a human being."
Edison walks it off 5-4! SR John Dobson held it down (6IP, 7H, 3ER, 5K) SRs Nathan Roeschlein and Matthias Alden with 2Hs. SR John Dobson with the walk off 2RBI 1B for the win. Edison travels to Hayfield Wednesday for the region championship! #Eaglepride#Family ⚾️🦅
National District teams always get the side eye in VHSL baseball. Not today. National District will be representing the Occoquan Region this year. @EHSbaseballll vs Hayfield (again).
Edison win 5-4! SR John Dobson with the CG (7IP, 5H, 4R, 0ER, 3BB, 6K) SR Nathan Roeschlein (3-4, R, RBI, 2SB) SR Derek Potts (2-4, R, 3B). Edison travels to Hayfield Thursday for the National District Championship! #Eaglepride#Family ⚾️🦅
So it's not even like UMBC or Howard made the NCAA tournament.
What they earned by winning their conference tournament is the right to "play in" to the NCAA event and face a #1 seed two days later.
Hideous way to treat a conference champion. Shameful.
USA baseball needed the travel ball dad - he knows all the scenarios, has mapped them out extensively and told everyone who will listen (and those that will ignore him). He may be annoying, but he knows the tiebreaker rules, scenarios win or lose and who and when they will play next - in every scenario possible. He would have told DeRosa and every manager. Travel ball dads for the win!
@dannykanell Um.... good points, but do we really want politicians regulating sports schedules. Just don't join the league/team/tournament, etc. if they play on Sundays. You have a choice.
@ScoringChanges FWIW- I believe NFHS rules treat the double base as one big base after the initial run to 1st. (I'm training as an umpire so I hope I am right on that. 😬)
@VHSL_ Tend to agree with the comments about the timing of this announcement (and whether this app is decent), but with GC now limiting live streaming, glad to see there's competition.
cw: suicide
when my dad ended his life three years ago, my mom put all his stuff in boxes and rented a storage unit.
we haven’t been there since and i went there today and i realized all the unfinished things suicide leaves behind.
the boxes were full of his clothes, but-
Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti:
“We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you”
