Greinke has been stellar, four singles in four innings aided by solid defense with three double plays.

:laughing-rofl:

:headscratch: -0-? Why does he post links for gamecasts when we can just, you know, watch the game?

You beat me to it. Also, why does he imagine that we don't know how to navigate to sports websites?

It's a mystery wrapped inside an enigma.

They deserve each other.

They deserve each other.

No way she want away from the money.

We know that it's there. Feeling a little attention starved? Awww.

Useless trivia.

Desperate 'Look at me! Look at me!' Useless has now started a WS thread that he will be the only person to post to. Tragic. Very strangely, he doesn't even say who he is rooting for. :confusion-scratchheadblue:

Seriously, what's the point? ...

Useless did not declare that he is rooting for ATL until they were up 3-1. Convenient.

Odd that it came shortly after I declared the Stros the current less of two evils.

Maybe he's a closet tomahawking trump lover?

Peas in a pod.

Hah! Truth.

... Well, the decision was made for me.


Go Stros!

Trump Does Racist 'Tomahawk Chop' Gesture At World Series

... But there was also furious criticism.

I did not know that about the "Braves" handle. If true, that makes the "chop" stupid as well as racist.

...

More tweets, commentary and Native American outrage at the link.

I did not know that either.

[Vrede too]

I did not know that either.

Ah:

... The team adopted an official name, the Braves, for the first time in 1912. Their owner, James Gaffney, was a member of New York City's political machine, Tammany Hall, which used an Indian chief as their symbol.

Indian co-option once removed.

Ditto, by Dolt .45, ATL fans and Useless, though slim odds at this point.

That chant! I'll have to root for the Astros tonight without watching and hope for 2 games in Houston.

[Vrede too]

Game 5, top of 3rd inning: Braves 2, Astros 4.

:confusion-scratchheadblue: It was never "Braves 2, Astros 4." ATL scored 4 in the 1st. Anyhow, it's now 4-4 in the middle of the 3rd. :clap:

1 minute after you quoted and posted. No admission of error, he never has the balls for that.

Interesting article about the origins of the chant music here...

Thanks. A cartoon, figures.

In an apparent case of fact resulting from fiction, the traditional "Indian" drum rhythm (BOOM boom boom boom) wasn't originated by Indians. However, I've been to powwows with real Indians in authentic costumes doing (allegedly) authentic dances and using that beat.

Not exactly the same beat, and not exactly the same chant, but here's some Cherokees with a similar sound. You can see why people might think the FSU chant is "authentic-ish", mistaken though they may be.

[Ulysses]

Perhaps the various Indian nations should copyright their chants and music and then charge through the yazoo to license them for public events.

Or not.

It's shameful that these key aspects of a culture the now dominant force in America has chosen to mis-appropriate for reasons that have little to nothing to do with their original purpose(s).

Can't believe it's been five years already.
