Once upon a time when America was still "sane" this behavior was called a mental disease.

Kool. When I saw the Dudley name I immediately thought "brand of softball" before I ever saw the photo at bottom. Didn't know where the name came from.I can't count how many games I saw the Bombers play as a kid. Never had to buy a ticket. I grew up in Clearwater, Florida whenthe Bombers were in their prime.
Two of my high school teachers played for the Bombers, Herb Dudley was pitcher and Gene Mason was the third baseman. One of my g-aunts was married to another Bomber, Doc Summers and he played in the outfield. When Herb Dudley pitched the outfield could lay down and go to sleep. He was one of the best fast pitch softball pitchers in history.
* More than 1,000 ASA wins
* Struck out 55 batters in 21 innings
* In a five-year period he struck out 2,475 batters, with 110 shutouts and 45 no-hitters.
* More than 100 no-hitters during his career
* He won 10 ASA Championships with the Bombers.
* He is in the Hall of Fame and the most outstanding pitcher in the ASA tournament is awarded the "Herb Dudley Outstanding Pitcher Award"
I could go on and talk about Coach Dudley all day long. One little story. I was in his 10th grade Phys Ed class and one day he pulled out a $10.00 bill and put it on home plate. He said the first student that could hit his pitch could pick up the $10.00 bill. He said even a tip (foul ball) would count. Just make contact. He threw slow pitch and I couldn't wait to get up to bat. The ball would literally drop when you started to swing and nothing but air. Not a single boy in my class could make contact. Then he threw a couple of fast pitches and nobody even stayed in the batters box. I thought he was going to kill me with the pitch and ducked as the ball went flying by .
Coach was a devout Christian and would not pitch on Sunday. No telling how many more games he would have won if he had played Sundays. RIP Coach Herb Dudley, the best man and teacher I knew in all of my school years.

Dad used to umpire fastpitch and semi-pro & college baseball as well as HS & rec stuff from 50' into 70's. Even did a couple of Reds exhibition games. From March thru Oct. he umpired 5-6 days a week besides his beer-making real job. But he just loved baseball. In WW2, he was the catcher for his ship's team & batted cleanup. They played other ships & bases, Army & Navy. MLB & minors guys dotted the rosters. Giants offered him a minors contract after the war but he was 25 & preferred making & consuming beer.

Dolly when she was still country. Was listening to the "Coat of Many Colors" LP, then moved on to this.
Morning Legionnaires!
88° expected for a high today with 101° expected tomorrow. Yeow!
Feeling like Cpt Ahab right now with my fishing luck. Going after the elusive Moby Bass again this morning until it gets warmer. I may just have to buy myself a fish finder and a harpoon if this keeps up.
In the words of the immortal Paul Harvey: "Stand by for news"!
Fresh water Crabbing?😁
Good morning all.... Just woke up back in Lorton. Arrived home about 2am. Not too bad of a trip. Have a great day.
Morning to some and after noon to others. It is a drizzly 59.9°F in Smiths Grove. Rainy Derby day. We are supposed to get to 63 before the day is out. I am praying for better weather in Louisville.
55 years ago tonight at 9:20pm central time my son was born. He came down last night and left this morning. He got a new truck and wanted to drive it. His old truck, that he still has, was 18 years old and had 167,000 miles on it. So it was time for a new one. He may give his daughters boy friend the old one.
@AustinTXCat good to see the pup getting back to normal.
You all have a good day. I am going to stay in and avoid getting wet.

Stand on a street corner downtown and cluck like a chicken for a while, or pretend you are Abraham Lincoln, and someone will call the police to take you in for a mental evaluation. Stand on the same street corner and tell everyone you are the opposite of your sex, and they will applaud and tell you how brave you are.
Liberalism might not be an actual disease, per se, but it is definitely a mental deficiency.
Happy Birthday to your son Bert. My brother was born on May 8 and I got out of the U.S. Army on May 4th. May is a good month.
On May 4th, 1968, my Captain called me into his office and said, "Sgt. you are not needed in this Army any longer. Thank you for your service and you can go on back to the house." And I did.
Dolly has it all. She went to work and was the total package. Not sure of her personal life but it seems she stuck true to that too. Just a great "body" of work in it's entirety. (Of what I know of...)
That's what this world needs..... More Pond Crabs.... (Think about it..)
Well 5 ponds at FT. Sill had a pond crab this morning since none of them gave up a bass and I am now crabby because of it. This is the worst start to any fishing season I have ever had. Ran into some other people who were also struggling this year. It has been unseasonably cooler this year to start out and with this past weeks heavy rains the springs feeding the ponds are keeping them murky and cold. That should change this week with near 90° weather today and 100 plus tomorrow and maybe Monday.
REDS WIN! REDS WIN!
Now the fish will bite. Better get out there before the second game.

BGPC Better Go Pond Crabs..... 😁
ROI at 1.7 so far today. Up $88 so far. Might hit the Derby hard. Too many good horses for a long shot not to be in the money somewhere.
Pork belly has been on the smoker since 9:30 this morning. Should be done by Derby. The sun has definitely not shined bright on my old Kentucky home today. Dreary but the bourbon is flowing.
HEY,
I forgot I had some Japanese whiskey. May just have an untraditional drink on this gloomy, wet, rainy day.
Been catching up. My Darling and I have not told our children we are home. We needed a break. (They've been pestering us all day.)
We seriously need to be left.....alone for a bit.
Drink up! More importantly, rest up while you have the chance.
Wow! 80-1 horse wins the Derby. How did I miss that? Who didn't?
80-1 Rich Strike wins The Kentucky Derby. Kudos to those with bets on him. Epicenter, Zandon, and Simplification we're the next 3.
Did NOT hit on the Derby! Still came out ahead for the weekend though. Second longest shot ever. Kudos!
Hit another exacta to close out the day. Cost me 4 dollars to win that one. Oh well, I'll be ready again for Preakness.
Yep it's Derby Day. Neighbor came over for a drink and is now passed out on the couch.
What an upset this was. I feel good for the local boys. It is good to see a Central Kentucky owner win that thing. My horse was Zandon.
A Happy Mother's Day for the mothers of the D-League!
I have to share this coffee thing.........I went to visit an aquaintence yesterday.........he fixed some coffe for us.......he puts a pinch of sea salt in a pot of coffee.......best cup of black coffee I ever drank.........strong flavor but no edge to it......try it you'll like it..............
Look on the bright side, he didn't need a refill.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 74°F and cloudy. Humid. Today's high expected around 100°F. We topped out yesterday at 96°F.
Loved Derby finish yesterday. Heh. Too cool. Heading out grocery shopping soon.
Happy Mother's Day.
and Happy

Well I guess I have a few enemies on the political board. You know it is easy to make threats on a message board but this weak person better pray to God they never meet me in person. I will let it go at that.

Good morning D-League.
Still cold and drizzly in the east.
Happy Mother's Day to all your special mothers and wives.
Red WON - and lost yesterday, and that feels like tremendous progress. A day of less than total failure - what a giant step in the right direction. I still think my steak dinner is secure.
Hope it is a nice day for everyone.

My mom and dad always did that. I don't, but maybe I will try it tomorrow.
That bastard needs to be banned for ever. What a prick.
Sunny and 63.0°F on our way to 72°.
I really enjoyed the Derby yesterday basically because I had never seen an 80-1 horse win. I may burn it to a bluray disk so I can watch it again.
The trainer was a Lexington boy who is about as humble as a guy could be. Janice Dean, Fox New weather lady, interviewed him this morning and he was just about as nice as a man can be. A $30,000 horse who get to race two minutes before the cut off and wins it. WOW.
@Sawnee Cat you should report that bastard.

I tried to tell em several years ago about putting salt in the grounds before you brew. Just a sprinkle is all you need to remove bitterness. Salt keeps the taste buds busy that would normally relay bitterness to your brain.
Sounds like LEK who once said he hoped my wife was raped by a group of black guys. This is a perfect example of how racist the left really is. Why did he hope the rapists were black? Simple. Because he thinks being raped by a black man would be much worse than being raped by a white man. It would be somehow "dirtier" in his mind.
I slept until 1132 this morning. I didn't go to sleep until around 0200 though.
Sposed to warm up in these parts for the coming week. Might actually get hot. Looks nice and sunny out there now and a good day to go out and play workshop.
I hear someone mowing grass. They'll hear me later.
Isn't it time for the football season to start?

Damn. So sorry. Looks like that hate is gone. Poster should be gone.
Gassy is a saint versus that (No idea what he did, but can't be that bad.).
Hello Sir, that post is no longer there or it would be reported. I'd sure like to know if the skank posts again. (I know, multiple accounter for sure.)
Edit: That username no longer exists.
