The Hottest Team in Baseball

Posted on | July 24, 2023 | Comments Off on The Hottest Team in Baseball

Baltimore Orioles ace reliever Felix Bautista

The city of Baltimore has a lot to be ashamed of, including a failed school system, out-of-control crime and sending Rep. Kweisi Mfume to Congress. Despite its many woes, however, Baltimore has at least one source of municipal pride — the Orioles are the hottest team in baseball.

As I told you last week, the O’s were facing a huge test in their four-game weekend series in Tampa against the Rays, who had led the American League East division all year, until Baltimore got on a wining streak right before the All-Star break. The Orioles won three out of four games at Tampa, and now have a two-game lead in the AL East:

The Baltimore Orioles are making a very real push in the AL East.
The Orioles, fresh off the franchise’s second-ever four-game series win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field, now hold a two-game lead over the Rays in the division entering the final 10 weeks of the season.
Baltimore won three of four in the series, which makes 12 wins in 15 games for a team that hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2016 and trailed the Rays in the division by 6.5 games at the start of the month. . . .
First baseman Ryan O’Hearn hit a solo home run in the sixth inning Sunday night to break a 3-3 tie and give Baltimore the lead. O’Hearn drilled the left-field foul pole with his 331-foot shot, which marked the shortest home run on the team this season and just his fourth career homer against a lefty.
Anthony Santander then hit an RBI single in the seventh inning to push Baltimore to a 5-3 lead, which it rode the rest of the way for the two-run win. . . .
Baltimore has seen the playoffs just three times in the past 26 seasons. The Orioles haven’t won the AL East since 2014, the same year they got swept by the Kansas City Royals in the ALCS.

Two words missing from that story: World Series.

Baltimore last won the series in 1983, and haven’t been back for 40 years. As all the sports writers acknowledge, the O’s were supposed to still be in “rebuilding” mode this season, and when Tampa got off to such a hot start — they won their first 13 games and on April 24, were 20-3 (.870) — the consensus seemed to be that the Orioles might be lucky to make it to the playoffs as a wild card. But the past three weeks have shattered that consensus, and pundits who’d been ignoring Baltimore are beginning to take notice. A big part of the reason the O’s are now seen as a contender is because of reliever Felix Bautista. The last time a relief pitcher won the Cy Young Award was 2003, when Eric Gagne of the Dodgers saved 55 games. Bautista has already gotten 28 saves. He’s struck out 96 batters in 49 total innings, with an 0.92 ERA.

Anyway, tonight, the Orioles begin a three-game series in Philadelphia — talk about a city with a lot to be ashamed of! — and if Baltimore can win just one of those games against the Phillies, they’ll be guaranteed to still be leading the AL East when they come back home Thursday to begin a four-game series against the New York Yankees. Let ’em beat the Yankees good and hard, and then everybody will be paying attention.

FMJRA 2.0: National Radio Waves – On The Wire

Posted on | July 23, 2023 | Comments Off on FMJRA 2.0: National Radio Waves – On The Wire

— compiled by Wombat-socho

Another .500 week for the Senators; we took two out of three in Montreal, including a rare win for Jim Kaat, but were not so fortunate at the Mistake by the Lake, where we lost two out of three to the Tribe. The sole win in Cleveland was the seventh for Juan Marichal, who held the Indians to four runs until the hitters got rolling for three runs in the ninth, at which point Vicente Romo came in to slam the door for his second save. We’re hosting the Royals on Tuesday at RFK, and hoping to do better than the last time we faced them.

‘Joys of Progress’ Update

Posted on | July 23, 2023 | Comments Off on ‘Joys of Progress’ Update

Last month, I told you about former New Hampshire state legislator Barry Charles “Stacie-Marie” Laughton (“The Wonderful Joys of ‘Progress’”), a Democrat who had been charged with child pornography in a case involving his/“her” ex-girlfriend, Lindsay Groves.

There was a flurry of interest in the case this past week because the Department of Justice has released documents in the federal cases against Laughton and Groves and, as WMUR-TV warns, “Details in this story may be disturbing.” You can go read that, but the most “disturbing” aspect of the case is that Groves worked at a child daycare center, and sent naked photos of the children to Laughton, and the federal affidavit quotes text messages between these two creeps, e.g.:

Not even going to transcribe that. Feel slimy just posting the screencap. Everything about this case is weird, including how they got caught:

On June 20, 2023, the Nashua Police Department (NPD) responded to a report that LAUGHTON had shown child sexual abuse images to other adults. One adult (hereinafter,
PERSON 2) reported that on June 20, 2023, LAUGHTON disclosed that her former intimate partner, Lindsay GROVES, sent LAUGHTON inappropriate images of children.
According to PERSON 2, LAUGHTON then showed PERSON 2 three images, which were on LAUGHTON’s phone in a text conversation with a contact titled “Lindsay.” Upon
viewing the three images, PERSON 2 recognized them as children and that each image depicted a separate child. PERSON 2 described each image as depicting children with
their genitals exposed.
The responding NPD officer interviewed another adult (hereinafter, PERSON 3), who reported that on June 16, 2023, LAUGHTON disclosed that GROVES sent her inappropriate images of children. LAUGHTON then sent PERSON 3 four images of nude children by text message, which PERSON 3 deleted. During the interview on June 20, 2023, PERSON 3 was able to recover the images to provide them to the responding NPD officer. The officer observed that the images were of naked children and also observed a text, purportedly from LAUGHTON, that read, “I don’t like that I have these but I wanted to show you the proof. I am not a kid pervert.”
NPD detectives conducted a voluntary interview with PERSON 3 on that same date, June 20, 2023, at the Nashua Police Department. During the interview, PERSON 3 showed the four images to the detectives.

So, Laughton showed these images to two different people, and actually sent them via text message to one of them, like, “Hey, want to see evidence of the federal felonies that I’m involved in?”

BTW, Libs of TikTok is probably incorrect in saying that O’Rourke and Swalwell “campaigned” for Laughton. Almost certainly, the photos were taken at some post-event “grip-and-grin” session following local Democratic Party events in New Hampshire, which as the traditional first primary state gets a steady parade of national political figures showing up for fundraisers, etc. Still, the fact is that Democrats in New Hampshire twice elected Laughton to office, despite his/“her” obvious craziness.



 

Crazy People Are Dangerous

Posted on | July 22, 2023 | Comments Off on Crazy People Are Dangerous

Andre Longmore

Andre Longmore served in the Army from 2000 to 2006, as a member of the 82nd Airborne Division, according to his mother, Lorna Dennis:

“In 2014, he had a mental breakdown and was in the VA hospital for 10 days. And after he came out, he wasn’t the same again. He just kept deteriorating until now. I tried to get some help for him, but they kept saying that he has to commit a crime or, you know, like, break up the house or anything, try to hurt himself,” said Dennis. “But if he wasn’t doing that, he has to come in voluntarily to get medical attention, but he said he doesn’t need it and doesn’t want it.”

Her son lived with her in Hampton, Georgia, a suburb 30 miles south of Atlanta, on a quiet street called Dogwood Lakes Drive, until the day last week he got a gun and murdered four neighbors:

After a nearly 24-hour manhunt, the man accused of shooting and killing four people Saturday in a Henry County subdivision was shot and killed by law enforcement officers after a shootout on Sunday.
“The monster is dead,” Henry County Sheriff Reginald B. Scandrett said during a press conference on Sunday.
“The citizens of Hampton, the county of Henry, the metro Atlanta area, and the entire state of Georgia can breathe a little easier tonight. The suspect is off our streets.”
The suspect, identified as 40-year-old Andre Longmore, is accused of opening fire in the Dogwood Lakes area at about 10:45 a.m. on Saturday.
On Sunday, a Henry County Deputy made contact with the vehicle the suspect was driving and requested backup at around 1:30 p.m. When Clayton County officers responded, they learned the suspect ran to a nearby wood line.
Officers were then led to an apartment building on Wagon Wheel Court in Jonesboro. When officers got there, the suspect tried to run again and gunfire was exchanged, Scandrett said.
“Gunfire was subsequently exchanged, leaving Longmore fatally wounded,” the Clayton County Police Department said in a statement.
They said two Clayton County Police officers and one Henry County Sheriff’s deputy suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the shooting. . . .
The victims were identified as Scott Leavitt, 67, Shirley Leavitt, 66, Steve Blizzard, 65, and Ronald Jeffers, 66.

The gunman’s motive is unknown, but of course, schizophrenia is sufficient in that regard. No one has suggested race as a motive, but do you think the national media would just ignore that angle if the gunman had been white and his victims were all black? I don’t think so.

Anyway, as I keep saying,  Crazy People Are Dangerous.

Death in ‘Killadelphia’

Posted on | July 21, 2023 | Comments Off on Death in ‘Killadelphia’

Armed and dangerous — and only 15 years old:

Philadelphia police are searching for a 15-year-old suspect who is wanted in connection with a deadly attempted carjacking last week.
Michael Salerno, 50, was shot and killed around 10:45 p.m. on July 12 at 12th and Porter streets.
Investigators say Salerno was shot when three males, thought to be between 15 and 20 years old, were trying to carjack his vehicle.
A female friend was inside the car.
“The offenders approached the vehicle, and the offenders were aggressive and violent from the start,” said Lt. Hamilton Marshmond.
While trying to stop them, Salerno was shot once in the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
On Friday, police identified one of the suspects as 15-year-old Rasheed Banks Jr, who is considered armed and dangerous.
Salerno was not inside the vehicle at the time of the carjacking, police said.
It appears the suspects may have been looking for a target. Police say they were circling the neighborhood in a Red Kia Soul with out-of-state plates.
“We do see the offenders’ vehicle ride past in the area several times. It appears that the offenders were in the area to either rob a person or attempting to take a vehicle,” said Marshmond.
Jackeline Ortiz heard the commotion then saw the victim on the street.
“Slowly there started to form a pool of blood. The lady was screaming and she came back – she was screaming over the man on the ground,” said Ortiz.
The suspects got away in the Kia Soul. The vehicle was last seen going south on 12th Street.

Nothing to see here. Just a 15-year-old killer at large.
