The last time the Reds went 9-2 on the road to open the season, they also went wire-to-wire and won the World Series in a sweep.

Ooooh! I know! I know! Pick MeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

If this was a member of Trump's cabinet.....He would have gotten away with it by now.

Massachusetts still doesn't like rapists. So there.

When this is all over, we're going to need a Truth and Reconciliation committee.

And yet, nobody dares move to remove him.

This is the Fuhrerbunker. It's actually April 1945.

I would say the Sox avoiding a sweep would be as good as winning the World Series right now.

Anyone notice that gas prices seem to have stabilized? We went to "war", prices shot up $1 and haven't moved much since.

It almost feels planned.

Indeed - and how is this not treasonous?

April 21 and just 35 degrees.

There's so much stuff online about generational differences, and "Do you remember" and Boomer vs Millenial vs GenX vs Alpha.

I'm GenX. We are the last generation that will remember "Spring".

Boston will be in full winter until Memorial Day, then *bang*. Summer.

It is the Boston Marathon! Out near the start line now. Running? HA! I drove some of the wheelchair and handcycle division out here.

Good morning, Bluesky! Look at wham I’m doing today!

Source? I don't see anything out there about this.

Donnie....if the church sex scandal didn't bring them down, your idle threats certainly will not.

No surprise here. After all, they love the second amendment more than children in the red states. Thoughts and Prayers!

Ummm....Oopsie?

All the whining on the Reds broadcast about how cold it is in Minneapolis. (46). At least they have sun - it's 45 and mist and fog at Fenway today.

Some good baseball out there today!!

It isn't at Fenway.

Trump isn't the first US president to have disputes with a pope President Donald Trump and Pope Leo's feud over the war in Iran is the first time a pontiff and a president have engaged in a spat.

I have personally been disenfranchised since 2002 (Boston).

However - as I have seen in some places - "If the Pope opposes Trump, maybe I'll start going to church again."

abcnews.com/US/trump-us-...

Trump voters say the pope should 'stay in his lane' and butt out of the Iran war Trump supporters at his events in Las Vegas and Phoenix largely backed his attack on Iran and sided with him in his ongoing dispute with Pope Leo XIV.

I'm pretty sure the Pope answers to a higher authority.

Words fail me to describe how debased and depraved these people truly are.

United plane makes emergency landing in Pittsburgh over ‘possible security issue’ Passengers on flight from Chicago to New York exited via slides as FBI, bomb technicians and K-9 unit responded

I tracked this flight live yesterday after I saw the squawk.

Small wonder they got down so quick, almost as fast as an emergency descent for oxygen problems.

Very odd, indeed.
