How many females are still on here? Seems like there were quite a few a while back.

(Glaus Girl, The Minnesota girl, the one that Brandon "dated", BB Mom, Napilicous, Adam pre-surgery, etc...)

I still lurk but it's not like the old days.  We are all on facebook..well, except for Adam pre-surgery.

We practically lived at the Little League field while my brother played.  My Dad was a Manager/Coach/Board Member for at least 10 years.  Girls like baseball too.

At least they deserve the attention.

And for Ellen

Cubs because my Dodger fan friends will lose their minds...hehehe

I thought Marte rymed with Partay?

You should facebook live that shit too.  Just sayin.

And I am in tears again.

Take it to the spin forum. 

Listening to Don Mattingly speak about Jose is heartbreaking.  

Devastating. He was always so joyful.  I will always remember that smile.

Only one tattoo will do.  

@BaseballMom @Katie @casmonkey ... you all know what I'm talkin' about! 

 

 

But will the tattoo have its own facebook page?

My favorite thing on facebook this week:

Ok, so outside of the military who are apparently required, why does anyone do it?  Why do they stop beer and food sales at the ballpark?  What's the purpose of any of it?  

 

 

To irritate the fuck out of me

WTF Albert?

Is this the equivalent of telling the 49ers to get their boy in check or else?  Kind of proving his point IMO.

So do you think we should not try to change this culture?  White people helped create it, so why should we sit by and do nothing?  

I am speaking on the education side because that is what I see.  Children should never feel they are worthless and have nothing to look forward to.  Community and parent involvement are key to helping these kids feel like they have a future.  The state of California has made some of these pieces part of school districts' "ratings".  Baby steps, but I feel like we are making some progress.

My co worker, who has a Gary Johnson sticker on his car, loves this hashtag.

The oppression starts in elementary and middle school.  Black and Latino students are more likely to be suspended than white students for the same offense.  It really is a thing.  

Black and Latino people are more likely to have longer sentences for like crimes than white people.  Brock Turner anyone?  He's celebrating his release after 3 months for raping an unconscious woman because he is a white guy who is good at some white guy sport at Stanford.

Fuck this shit

I think his protest is working to make people talk about the issues.  I would have never watched a press conference of a football player before and I will bet that I am not alone.

Just checking in as the token broad...;)

Kaep spoke about the issues last night after the game and announced that he is donating $1 million to organizations that fight injustice. I like what he said about people not wanting to admit that these problems exist and need to be addressed.  He talked about the lack of care for veterans as well.  

Who knew they would last that long?
