JOHNNY VANDER MEER

 On June 11, 1938 Pitcher Johnny Vander Meer threw a no-hitter, On June 15, 1938, Johnny Vander Meer threw another no hitter, becoming the only man in the history of baseball to throw two no hitters in a row in consecutive starts. To break his record, a pitcher would have to throw three no hitters in a row. 27 scoreless no hit innings of baseball in a row. 

Records are often spoken about in terms of being unbreakable. We have long held to the belief that Johnny Vander Meer's record is the most unbreakable record in sports. 

Which brings us to our president. No president has ever been impeached twice. A few have been impeached once. It would seem being impeached twice would be an unbreakable record, but given the events of this past week, Donald J Trump may accomplish something no one thought possible- being impeached twice in one term as president. We cheer him on. "Go for it!" we say. Do the unthinkable. Make the history books. 

Meanwhile, we are a bit jealous. The President has been PERMANENTLY BANNED by Twitter. No fair! We want to be permanently banned by Twitter. Imagine the cool merch: "BANNED BY TWITTER" T-shirts and hats. It would be cool. Therefore, by the power vested in us by being a blogger, we hereby call upon our followers to STORM the North Dade Justice Center next week (do it early in the day, rush hour traffic in Aventura sucks) chanting WE WANT JURY TRIALS! WE WANT JURY TRIALS!

Go on Twitter and demand  @justicebuilding be banned for being exceptionally smug.  

Come on. Take a stand. Storm the Castle, or the North Dade Justice Center as it were. 

Have you gotten the images of jack-booted thugs storming our Capitol and being gently escorted from the premises by the Capitol Police "Come on you guys, cool it will ya?"  Is there anyone here who doesn't think a Black Lives Matter march that stormed the Capitol would have been brutally attacked by the police, handcuffed and dragged away screaming in pain? It is a national disgrace how nicely the white right wing Nazis were treated. It makes us sick. 

Baseball cannot start soon enough to get our mind off these awful days.

  1. Did u watch the same riots as the rest of us this summer? Seems like the cops let those rioters do whatever they wanted. Were any unarmed "protesters" shot this summer? Who?

    A coup? Please what a joke you are. People with viking hats on taking selfies, completely unarmed. And they made the multi- millionaires (off $150K salaries) scurry off to the basement. HAHAHAHA. Fuck em all.

  2. In other Miami lawyer news, David Peckins was pecking too much at the public till.

    So because of the Peckins scandal, Jorge Barahona gets a new lawyer.

    He murdered Nubia Barahona and burned her body with acid almost a decade ago, and still no trial in sight. Can't COVID kill some inmates who deserve to die for a change?

  3. Joe DiMaggio’s 56 game hitting streak is the most difficult steak to break in sports.

  4. Rump, time for some revisionist history. You are right that it would be near impossible to break Vander Meer's record. But contrary to received wisdom, it was almost tied twice. Nolan Ryan no hit the Tigers in 1973 and followed it up four days later by taking a no hitter into the 8th against the Orioles. And in 1948, Ewell Blackwell did the same thing, losing it in the 8th following a no hitter. There is one record that will stand forever. Cy Young's 511 wins.

  5. It will be a hundred times easier to break DiMaggios streak. Think how people have come close. To break Vander Meers Someone has to throw three no hitters in a row. How hard is it to throw one no hitter. Only 2-3 people have ever thrown two no hitters in a season. No one has thrown three no hitters in a season. So it’s almost impossible to throw three in a row.

  6. Rump I have to admit I’m more than a bit turned on by the Karen - Miya Ponsetto. She’s just so hot and yet dopey and dumb but super cute and in a total fog about life and the real world. I’m thinking of offering to help in her defense just from meet her. She is smoking sexy clueless thoughts? A real Karen Kutie

  8. 2 ???????'s Rump. Are there Federal laws or Washington D.C. laws that allow first or second degree felony murder charges to be brought against the insurrection mob individuals for the death of the young woman ( 2nd degree felony murder) or capitol police officer (1st degree felony murder)? Question 2. How about Donald Trump senior and junior, Eric Trump and Rudy Gulliani as co-defendants to the rioters/insurrectionist who entered the building since they committed the sedition and incitement to riot within the building that led to the invasion and murder?
