So I’m a casual baseball fan. I’m more a football slash hockey guy. But I have to admit reading this thread last night and watching it go from same story different year to pure joy was pretty damn cool. Happy for you die hards. 

I’m in the same exact boat, go nats. 

Siegenthaler is trash, really missing Kempny.

I’m def on the bandwagon LETS GO NATS 

No idea why Fehervary was on ice during OT, the PP was terrible and I’m not sure Kuzy fixes that. Cool getting the point but we didn’t play as much of a physical game than I thought, I was hoping we would take them to the boards more. Wilson hasn’t woke up yet and neither has Backstrom. 5 out of 6 points isn’t bad at all thought, so glad hockey is back.

Can someone give me their thoughts on Hathaway? I know nothing about the guy but he seems to be in every skirmish so far ha. Any good with Calgary?

I have a friend who likes the flames and he told me he’s not a heavy weight fighter but isn’t scared of a tilt and plays hard is entire shift. More of an agitator 

It’s time, put the Kuzy jersey on an hour ago. Hockey is all I got now since I can’t stand to watch the Redskins smh 

Would have been so awesome if he got that second deep ball, Mclaurin is legit 

Have they announced captains?

Good Boys: 9/10. HILARIOUS movie. Just about every scene had me rolling, but has some emotional adolescent coming of age moments too.

Thought about seeing this, thinking you confirmed it for me. Looks funny via commercials 

Anyone started the new Mindhunter? Can’t wait to watch it when I get home from this work trip. Loved the first season. 

Unreal, the cell staff should be blamed for this. Now all these famous people are going to walk free because of no prosecution 

12 Years a Slave. Incredible movie, really hits you in the feels at the end. Great acting also and a lot of surprising actors. 

So not your typical show but “Our Planet” on Netflix is pretty awesome. Animals are ****ing crazy

Mahershala Ali as Blade? Sign me the **** up right now. Those were my favorite movies as a Kid and he is my favorite actor right now. I’m so hype 

Not sure what to say about the new show “Euphoria” on HBO. Pretty much about high school kids doing drugs and the drama that follows, not very appealing. Watched all of Stranger things in about 3 days, it was good. Better than season 2 but still thought season 1 is the best.  

Damn the Nats have really turned it around, not the biggest baseball guy but I’ve followed a bunch this season. I feel like they’ve played the Marlins a lot and have always beat them. Turner is my boy. Let’s get this bread

My apologies Hersh, but what is dead may never die.  I will prove that by quoting my own post.

 

 

I just read that the battle of Winterfell originally was going to contain a scene where a pack of 50 direwolves/wolves swarmed and took out the Night King's undead dragon.  But D&D decided to go another direction.  

 

I can see it in my mind, and it is beautiful. 😥

Is there a source on this? If this is true I’m ****in pissed. That would have been so dope

I need to watch Chernobyl.  How many episodes is it?

 

And Weeds is one of those shows that started out really awesome, but holy **** does that show jump the shark and just completely go off the rails in the later seasons.  It get's nearly unwatchable in the later seasons.  But the episodes are so short that I just powered through it all.

5, It’s awesome

@Spaceman Spiff I love that movie Rush, my dad used to follow F1 in Europe back in the day and had a few pictures of Nicki Lauda on his film camera. He had some really cool shots, he told me that Hunt was the fan favorite because of his personality  lol. Theirs a new vintage type race movie coming out with Christian Bale and Matt Damon called Ford v Ferrari which looks pretty cool.

I get that Drake is an employee of the team and all that but man how is he just allowed to approach opposing players like that on the court?

It’s Drake, the most popular rapper and pretty much a mogul for this generation. He’s mentioned Curry in many of his songs so I’m sure they’re somewhat friends.

This discussion is dumb.  Americans don't "love" this.  One, polls show most people support some level of increased gun control.  Now what level varies greatly.  But I think most everyone would agree that we'd rather not have these things happen.  Two, there are plenty of things that Americans obviously don't "love" yet lack the motivation to really drive change.  This falls squarely in that category.  And like most other things, it's not that Americans don't want change.  The issue is corporate interests take precedence over the people's desires in this country.  Anyone who agrees Americans "love" this, I'd argue they must also love the current state of politics.  Or corporations having more say over what happens in our country than the electorate.  After all, don't see a whole lot being done about it either.  So you can argue (correctly I'd say) that Americans lack the motivation to do anything substantive about this.  But to say we love this, that's just ****ing stupid.  So if you think that Americans love it, go hug your NRA card.  Since almost everyone here is an American, you must also love it.

 

Back to the topic of this shooting, I'm tired of hearing the talking heads point out that Virginia is an open-carry state like that makes a difference.  I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've seen someone open carry around here.  And when it does happen, there is usually a cop or security guard in close proximity.  Now there can (and should) be a debate about what led to this and ways it could have been avoided.  But VA being an open carry state played zero role in this.

 

Lastly, I'm really surprised we don't see more of this happening on military bases.  You want to talk about an over-stressed, disgruntled group, it's people in uniform.  And it isn't exactly difficult to get a gun on base.  There was a shooting on base here at NAS Oceana a few weeks ago but that turned out to just be a domestic dispute.  I thought we might see something after that like more random vehicle inspections or something to at least make it look like it might be difficult to get a gun on base but nope, nothing.

I’m a contractor for the Navy and can tell you that the vehicle searching can be very lax at times, NOB will inspect your work vehicle before it comes on one of the piers but that’s about it. A girl I went to high school with lost her Aunt to this, pretty wild

So does this guy fit the profile?

 

Edit:  Nope.  40 year old black male.

 

Maybe now we can get some gun control.

Where did you see this? I haven’t seen any info on the shooter. 

I’ve lived in VB my whole life, crazy something like this happens here. I have several friends that live around the Kellam/Courthouse area. ****s crazy 

Hopefully the new Westworld isn’t as confusing as the last season.
