Tarpley throws a pitch behind Bradley's back to the backstop; allowing another run in t/8th inning... If this scores stands will be the largest blowout in postseason history. C'mon Yanx 14 Runs or Bust, bottom of t/8th, and I have not left the park yet, well my TV set anyway...
I would love to see Judge go deep here for his fourth home run in four games and he's swinging for it too bottom of the 8th
Judge goes down swinging at a pitch 6 ft off the ground... oh well nice try kid. At least Judge is not given up or let up... Eovaldi's long outing has allowed the shaky questionable Boston BP a day's rest.
Columbus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AH, but he did, my friend. He landed at the Bahama's. Explored and named two continents and Central America. He brought the east to the west. Introduced horses from Spain that were not in the Western hemisphere. He sailed at a time when everyone believed the earth was flat... big balls. egots u grande. Ever since the ice age, when the Mongolians walked across the iced-over Bering straight, people have been indigenous to most everywhere on earth. However, what Columbus brought to the America's was, the East.. Everyone talks about leif erickson landing in Canada earlier than Columbus and therefore, he discovered America. But no. He was greedy and wanted to keep it all to himself. And so, he told no one of the America's and even misnamed Greenland and Iceland the opposite's of what they were, so he could confuse other explorers. Columbus discovered America by bringing the east to west and west to east. Could you imagine how far America's progress would have been stunted or behind what they are now? I mean, if he had not brought his findings to each continent, we'd never have the British to come over and make the USA. Imagine American history without horses? And...Isn't America a cool name?
Not the guy I would have picked to be a game changer over all of the other stars on both rosters but...it's always like that in the playoffs. There's those one or two guys that you don't expect that turns into a huge wild card for a team.
....^^^^ Indeed No Doubt. All's I was trying to say is he opened the European eyes to a new continent. But keep in mind there were many who knew the Earth was round long before, I would not say most, but i think rather "many" believed the Earth was flat, in my opinion it's almost a mythological. My only point is you cannot discover something that already exists to an indigenous culture that already knows it exists. Some would argue the world would be better off without the discovery of Columbus. I do not agree with that belief, although most Native American Indians believe as much. Their Utopia became our paradise and Our Paradise became their nightmare. Otherwise we would still be living in very primitive times. It's always been my opinion, was once natural untainted educated mind, one looks at the moon and see's a round object. The perversion of Education LOL... To be continued...
As early as the sixth century B.C., Pythagoras — and later Aristotle and Euclid — wrote about the Earth as a sphere. Ptolemy wrote “Geography” at the height of the Roman Empire, 1,300 years before Columbus sailed, and considered the idea of a round planet as fact. According to historian Jeffrey Burton Russell, “no educated person in the history of Western Civilization from the third century B.C. onward believed that the Earth was flat.” That was thanks to scientists, philosophers and mathematicians who, as early as around 600 B.C., made observations that Earth was round. Using calculations based on the sun’s rise and fall, shadows and other physical properties of the planet, Greek scholars like Pythagoras and Aristotle determined that the planet is actually a sphere. During Columbus’ time, educated people carefully studied knowledge passed down by the ancient Greeks. Thus, it’s nearly impossible—and completely implausible—that rich Spaniards of the late 15th century though Columbus would fall off the edge of the map.
Very true. Great post, Rob. It's so cool to think of the Mongolians coming over the berring Straght and leaving some people in the north (inuits/eskimos)... then Dropping down and leaving the Native American Indians in North America. Those that were dropped off there, migrated to mexico, central & south america. Others sail off and find the polynesian islands. Physically it's mind blowing how all of them favor. Straight black hair, skin tone, hairless chests. As a martial artist, I have studied warfare for 45 years. The fighting ways of the american Indian and the Japanese ninja are so similar that it's uncanny.
We will smash the Sox tomorrow and win the series in front of their fans! Just that thought...is sexually arousing. We take their best-ever season...then we let them take the series home to Fenway for a deciding game 5, and explode their heart's in front of their own fans. Ah. That was good. Now I need a cigarette.
You're right. I misspoke when I used the "everyone" word. There were more who believed it round than flat. But there were many who believed it flat...because lots of the earlier countries (except Spain) wouldn't back his voyage because of that belief. Thank you for bantering me, Rob. I love history...AND the New York Yankees...and so I get both on here! America, what a country! Well, at least Columbus beats out Mussolini & Al Capone as American Italian role models, lol.
