The Rays eked out a dramatic 8-7 walk-off win over the Dodgers in Game 4 of the World Series on Saturday night to tie the best-of-seven Fall Classic at 2-2 (box score). Reserve outfielder Brett Phillips notched a game-tying single in the ninth off Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen, and Randy Arozarena was also able to score on an error by center fielder Chris Taylor and then a mishandled throw by L.A. catcher Will Smith. It had already been a wild game before one of the wildest culminations to a World Series game in living memory came along. Here's a look at the final play:

Comments:

*Dayn Perry & Mike Axisa Here is momentary relief from political blahs: baseball (as Capone would say). The Rays are showing signs of being destiny's team in this truncated season. A win's a win. This one was fun. I love baseball.

Perhaps it’s just me but I didn’t know the World Series had started or even who was playing in it - I used to keep track of this stuff but I just don’t anymore......

I hadn't really been following baseball at all this year thanks to covid. Didn't even watch a Cubs game. Everything during the shortened regular season was live-stream and I wasn't willing to fork over money for it.

I don't know who any of these players are and am proud of that lack of wasteful use of my memory. I enjoy American sports and soccer by playing them in the field with friends or family but I don't care to watch arrogant professionals getting paid huge money to play, especially those who disrespect my flag.

I'm with you OP. I've been to the Trop many times cheering on the Rays and have watched hundreds of their games on TV. The game last night was areal nail-biter and the good guys won in a way you'll probably NEVER see again. Scared my wife when I jumped up and yelled. btw, when the season started and teams were doing their sickening kneeling to the blm THUGS, only TWO Rays people knelt...the first base coach and the third base coach. Everyone else remained standing for the anthem. Good on ya, Rays. WIN THE WORLD SERIES!!!!

I've seen only one complete major league baseball game in person. It was the Tampa Bay (then Devil) Rays against the Chicago White Socks in Chicago. I enjoyed it. Good people, a huge jumbotron, and many rituals both strange and fun for an adopted American. I honestly don't remember who won. I do remember a good day. I'm not much for sports in general, but in honor of that day, memories of my home state of Florida, and OP, I will adopt and support the 'Rays from here on out. GTMI!

#4 caused coffee spew. Tanks a lot. At the World Series venue in Dallas and on players uniforms I did not notice any preachy slogans or acronyms to distract fans from the action on the diamond, which has been quite entertaining so far in the first four games. The Rays were literally one strike from facing an elimination game, and suddenly they were all square at two games to two, needing to win two of the next three to take home the title. In the moments after the crazy celebration in the outfield, centerfielder Kevin Keirmaier asked, "What just happened?" Indeed. The Dodgers are very good. For our Rays to beat them, we'd like to see another couple of signs from heaven. As a professional golfer (no longer able to play because of three spinal fusion operations since 2018), I either experienced or witnessed what some would call the miraculous deliverances from seemingly impossible situations. That's the kind of thing that happens when you're going to win. Skill and luck are frequently found in the same place. Whatever else, The World Series is a welcome distraction from political commercials (Biden's) that are utterly insulting end to end lies, and sometimes cause me to take the Lord's name in vain, and have to repent for same. Pray, LDotters! Keep America America.

I’ve always detested people who make facile comparisons of anything that goes on in the U.S. to the manifold horrors of Nazi Germany. The freedoms and privileges we’ve enjoyed in this extraordinary nation made even the worst problems we’ve experienced pale in comparison to the brutality and death perpetrated by the Third Reich. To my mind, drawing parallels between them is a cheap, insulting, and wholly illegitimate way of gaining quick attention. However, the MAGA+FASCIST= JANUARY 6th phony equation now emanating from Joe Biden and his party -- even going to the obscene length of enlisting the recent solemn remembrance of the 9/11 nightmare --
Protecting Lies With Disinformation 3 replies

It is sometimes believed that the ability to lie confers an advantage. “Disinformation is false information deliberately spread to deceive people… Some consider it a loan translation of the Russian dezinformatsiya, derived from the title of a KGB black propaganda department.” The name itself is wrapped in deception. “Defector Ion Mihai Pacepa claimed Joseph Stalin coined the term, giving it a French-sounding name to claim it had a Western origin.” Here’s an example: “Operation INFEKTION was a Soviet disinformation campaign to influence opinion that the U.S. invented AIDS. The U.S. did not actively counter disinformation until 1980, when a fake document reported that the U.S. supported apartheid.”

According to Department of Justice sources, Facebook has been spying on the private messages and data of Americans who questioned the 2020 election results and reporting them to the FBI. Since the election, Facebook has worked in conjunction with the FBI to report on “subversive” private messages, sending them to the FBI’s domestic terrorism operational unit, supposedly in redacted form, a direct violation of Americans’ First and Fourth Amendment rights. “It was done outside the legal process and without probable cause,” one of the sources told the New York Post. “Facebook provides the FBI with private conversations which are protected by the First Amendment without any subpoena.”

Dr. Mehmet Oz, Republican Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, recently attacked his opponent, the ridiculous Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, for a pro-criminal record that would embarrass George Soros. Specifically, he criticized Fetterman for employing as aides on his campaign Dennis and Lee Horton, who spent 27 years in prison for a horrific armed robbery murder. Drunk on his own self-righteousness, Fetterman sanctimoniously responded: “Does Dr. Oz believe that the wrongfully convicted should die in prison?” He added that the brothers “spent 27 years in prison for a crime they didn’t commit.” Members of the media, who fervently believe our prisons are just bursting at the

I heard only two weeks ago about a grandmother in New Orleans, Linda Frickey, 73, who was carjacked in March after taking a break from work to put something in her car. When the carjackers rushed the car and drove off, Frickey got tangled in the seatbelt and was dragged for one block as her clothes were being torn off. According to witness Leanne Mascar, after a neighbor frantically screamed to let her go, the carjackers “slowed down and opened the door to kick her out.” Naked and with her arm severed, that grandmother bled to death in the street.

The current anti-Trump and anti-MAGA witch-hunt is not about 2024. The Democrat DoJ is safe for two more years. It is about January 6, 2021. The target is not so much Trump as the idea that electoral votes could be legally contested on the joint session of Congress. Obviously, the DoJ violates core freedom of speech. It also ignores the clear letter and spirit of the law regarding the joint session for Presidential elections. 3 U.S. Code § 15 - Counting electoral votes in Congress clearly provides for raising and debating objections against “all the certificates and papers purporting to be certificates of

On Tuesday night, the company’s Facebook page announced his death. “Fred passed early this morning at his Redwood home in Denair, California, with family by his side,” they wrote. He, along with his brother and cousin, started the company in 1973 with the intent to make wine accessible for daily consumption.

Disgraced R&B star R. Kelly was convicted on federal child pornography charges Wednesday for making videos of himself abusing his 14-year-old goddaughter. The verdict followed a monthlong trial in Chicago, Kelly’s hometown, where jurors were shown excerpts of the disturbing footage and heard testimony from the victim, now 37, who was identified only as “Jane.” Jurors deliberated for about 11 hours, beginning on Tuesday afternoon, before returning with a guilty verdict on six of the 13 counts that Kelly had faced, including three child porn charges. In Chicago, a conviction on just one such count carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five to 10 years. It comes on top of a 30-year prison

The actual purpose of the 1972 law known as Title IX was to prohibit sex-based discrimination in school sports and programs. But now, the radical left is abusing Title IX to impose radical gender theory. Much has been made of how Joe Biden seeks to redefine “sex” under Title IX to include gender identity. Less attention has been paid to the fact that Biden’s 700-page-long proposed rules changes also include redefining actual pregnancy, the Heritage Foundation found. “The Biden administration wants to redefine pregnancy to include childbirth, lactation, and ‘termination of pregnancy’—that is, abortion,” explains Melanie Israel of the Daily Signal. “The administration’s three-pronged definition of pregnancy

President Joe Biden on Thursday denounced Republican governors as 'unAmerican' for the way they were playing political games with migrants, after more than 100 were dumped outside the vice president's official residence and others were flown to Martha's Vineyard.

Republicans have stepped up their attacks on the Biden administration as they try to make immigration the theme of November's midterm elections. Biden hit back as he addressed the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Gala. 'Republicans are playing politics with human beings, using them as props,' he said.

There has been a creeping meme among some Republican voters indicating that they will refuse to vote because they are fed up with congressional Republicans. They are telling everyone who will listen how horrible congressional Republicans are and are asking, "Why vote when our representatives do nothing and get nothing done?" People who advocate not voting are advocating surrender to the leftist mob and surrender to Democrats who have ruined a perfectly good country. They are recommending surrender to the leftists who are persecuting Republican conservatives. There is no other way to read this: If you won't vote, you turn the reins of what power you have over to Democrats.

Respondents to the Annenberg Public Policy Center’s survey also had little understanding of the impact of a Supreme Court ruling, and few could enumerate the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment. “My impression is that even in prestigious universities, maybe 30% of all students could pass the civics test required of incoming immigrants,” said Joseph Ellis, a Pulitzer Prize-winning constitutional historian.(Snip)One-quarter of respondents could not name even one branch of the federal government,

Rome—Pope Francis urged Westerners to be more open to immigration Thursday, insisting that it is a necessary antidote to the West’s “demographic winter.” In forgetting how to welcome migrants, the West lost much, because it “needs people,” the pontiff told reporters during his return flight from Kazakhstan to Rome. Especially considering the “demographic winter,” which is so evident in Spain and Italy. “In Italy there are empty villages with just twenty old ladies and nothing else,” he said. “Why can’t we make a policy in the West where immigrants are included with the principle that the migrant should be welcomed, accompanied, promoted, and integrated?” he asked.

The Trump Raid – We’re Missing the Point 23 replies

“The documents were declassified!” “Trump had every right keep them!” “They posed no risk to national security!” Conservatives have been defending Trump with these kinds of arguments ever since the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago last month. They’re missing the point, though. Seeking to prove that Trump did nothing wrong in possessing these documents is like trying to establish that the victims of Stalin’s show trials weren’t in fact Trotskyites. Well, of course they weren’t. But Stalin didn’t care if his enemies – perceived or real – were Trotskyites or “counter-revolutionaries.” What mattered to him was that they were his enemies.
