I’m going to be both disappointed and happy with whatever the outcome is here.

This team was founded in 1950 by the Japanese National Railways abbreviated as Kokutetsu in Japanese, and was named the Kokutetsu Swallows. The nickname "Swallows" is named after the Tsubame, which means bird swallow in Japanese, a limited express train run by Japan National Railways at the time. 

The team was then sold and had a different nickname, but when Yakult became a sponsor, it returned to its original nickname, the Swallows.

Right, because that’s how you ingest Yakult. I’ve already made this clear. I appreciate your attempt at an assist here, but I’ve long been recognized as this board’s resident expert on Japanese history, culture and corporate acquisition of baseball organizations.

On November 8, NPB announced Dillon Peters (Angels 2019 - 2021)  as a free agent. He had played as a starting pitcher of Tokyo Yakult Swallows 18 games this season, going 6-5 with a 3.22 ERA. He was scheduled to be on the mound on September 8th, but due to poor lower body condition, he was unable to pitch and returned to the United States on September 13th.

Recent rumors...

 

 

Yakult Swallows.

It sounds disgusting, but it is what the people who purchase Yakult do with it.

A+ marketing.

Not really. That was an atrocity.

Let me know when one of those dot.coms sells parking at the stadium because as has been argued here, that's where the real costs are.

You can buy parking at Angee Stadium on there, which is really inexpensive.

I could buy a Ferari Modena but chose the SLK. Get the brag right. 

Does one buy a Ferari on wish.com or temu.com?

Filmed on the steps of the Ricardo Montalban Theater on Vine St. just south of Hollywood Boulevard. I used to walk past those steps when visiting my sister at her apartment in The Broadway building. What a shithole that area has become. 

I would walk past it to get to the plane.

Cal spanked them pretty bad last night. 

Indeed. We improved over the course of the season, which was really nice to see. The trick will be holding on to some of our better players. I’d bet that some schools will come hard after Jayden Ott with NIL money.

Also, UCLA fans are going to absolutely love the B1G if they enjoyed last night’s game.

Well, today is the last day of the Pac for regular season football. It’s a shame; it’s been a great season.

Fuck USC forever. Here’s to an eternity of middling and disappointing seasons like they one they so deservedly got this year.

UCLA are weasels for blowing it up, too.

Oh well. It’ll be interesting to see how many craps anybody gives about the non-marquee matchups that have no history behind them.

Well the psychic says it's going to be the Angels as he also predicted him in 2017 to the Angels.

Well then. It’s settled!

people holding them.

The potential sequel to this with the B1G is gonna be a blast to watch.

LOL that a reference was made to "Sense of urgency".   The entire 2022 season was based on "sense of urgency" to get into the playoffs so they can keep Ohtani.

Maybe there was too much "sense of urgency" in 2022. 

I'm all in support of the new manager and hope the halos have a better season, which is possible if the players stay healthier than they did last year.   But lets not manufacture issues to fix that weren't actually there.

Here’s to success in 2023!

Since it’s all the sames

If Trump wins, he will be assassinated.  He may be assassinated before he wins.

If this sounds crazy, consider that four Presidents have been assassinated and there have been at least six other assassination attempts on sitting Presidents, including attempts on Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan.

Now, take a moment to rank the depth and intensity of hate against Trump versus other Presidents.  Also consider that we have mainstream media constantly telling individuals that Trump is a traitor or that he is “worse than Hitler.”  You think that might inspire a nut job to do something?

Also, consider how the establishment considers Trump their enemy, and the massive amount of raw power there is in federal agencies.

What we are looking at is a combination of the MOST hated President, the MOST intense media message to crazy individuals that he is to be stopped, and the MOST corrupt and powerful DC establishment in history that hates him.

This is a formula like never before for an assassination, either by a rogue individual nutjob, or by the establishment (probably a CIA job).

It sure seems obvious that the people who hate Trump will stop at nothing to stop him.  They will do everything to destroy him but wouldn’t go that far?  No way.

Given the at least 10 times a President has either been killed or was almost killed, why would anyone believe Trump being killed isn’t very realistic, almost likely?

 

 

All bets hedged.

All bases covered.

Nobody asked about this.

20 times longer than necessary.

That’s a goddamn perfect 10 on the “LOOK AT ME AND MY PREDICTION, MOTHEFUCKERS!” scale.

Bravo.

 Isn't the purpose of a thread to promote conversation?

Were you not entertained?

 

 

Perhaps it’s time to consider a change to “FallOnMyOwnSwordsman78.”

Also, fascinating angle for a home cam, but wise.
