  • Dysktra's actually my favorite baseball player of all-time. Such a trainwreck since retirement though. I remember when he first joined Twitter. I immediately followed him, and he proceeded to live tweet a rerun of Full House. Talking about how hot Aunt Becky is, asking followers "Is this Mary-Kate or Ashley in this scene?", etc. I still follow him, but have had him on mute for some years now. He just tweets and retweets too much. Being exposed to the inner thoughts of a maniac is fun in small does, but too much Nails isn't good for anybody.

    Yeah, I was happy to follow him at first but....nah. It didn't take me long to unfollow. He's such a piece of shit. 

    Loved him back in the day. I feel like he was the original "walk up song" guy too. Or at least with the Phils. Can't help but think of him fouling off a million pitches so everyone gets a good look whenever Start Me Up is on

    Hands down favorite player of all time. Tried to bat exactly like him, got a ball signed from him, will never ever ever ever everrrrr forget him telling Rick Dempsey to look at the scoreboard motherfucker for his batting average and then kicking his ass, even in high school was giddy to be drinking with his son, all of it. But nope, that's all gone now.

    He's one of the poster boys of our fantasy baseball league. There's a Lenny Dykstra Division and a John Rocker Division. The banner on the league facebook page is often a mugshot of him, him being hauled off in handcuffs, etc.

    Nice. My buddy runs a fantasy baseball league called Steve Jeltz Fan Club. Celebrating mediocrity rather than insanity.

    PA State House:

    Dems leading in 102 districts (one of them by 2 votes), down by 26 votes in one (should be able to make that up with provisionals). 102 needed for majority.

    Yeah, it will be tough to keep in 2024 but a few more are on the table to flip.

    a) I don’t go to AMT

    b) you guys are politically savvy

    that said….how the hell does wolf blitzer have a job? I could see him on fox, newsmax, OAN, etc. but how does he keep his spot on a real network?

    a) you are a smart man

    b) i think he's had that schtick going for at least 25 years now? also, hasn't CNN taken a hard right turn recently since WB/John Malone took over?

    Yeah, agree, CNN is no more a real network than Fox News....it just presents a more human take on events we think actually happened.
    Fox is just plain bonkers. 

    Also....please don't give Wobert a big head
      :lol:   
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    CNN is MUCH more of a real network…they employ some actual smart people (Wolf, excluded) and not just blowhards.

    Yeah CNN is not the same as Fox.

    But Wolf Blitzer has sucked ever since coming home from that hotel in Baghdad 31 years ago.

    Chris Hayes is ok. And I like that Stephanie Ruhle lady on MSNBC. I think that's about the most of my LAME STREAM MEDIA watching. Oh, and Steve Kornacki is cool come election time.

    EDIT: Brian Stelter was on CNN right, but got canned? He seemed ok too.

    I'll try to bring this back to local - CNN's John King mentioned "Delaware County" and Jake Tapper said "It's Delco!"

    On MSNBC Kornacki is just ridiculous. "This next batch of votes should be good for Republicans" (batch comes in, 4,000 votes better for Democrats) "Okay the next batch should be good for Republicans. Or maybe not." 

    Dude why should I believe anything you say?

    My new projection:
    Lenny's crush will keep her seat in the House. :(

    He breached the police lines at the Capitol on January 6th. Republicans deserve every ounce of humiliation they're getting for losing with wackjobs like him all over the country.
