Who cares! Baseball sucks. |
I am an obsessed baseball dad...as is my friend in Malibu. When you're the dad of one of the top 13yo pitchers in a baseball hotbed, you tend to care.... |
Take care of his arm, I remember reading stories about how young pitchers who aren't fully grown yet, have arm problems later in life, especially if they have a strong fastball. It could shorten his playing days. |
NW..its a huge issue, I agree...always worried about it... Seeing lots of kids who've already had TJ surgery, or Labrum repairs.... He's not a hard thrower.. |

Largest U.S. Nail Manufacturer Could Soon Be Out Of Business Because Of Trump Tariffs
Missouri’s Mid-Continent Nail Corporation says it’s already laid off dozens of workers and could shutter its doors by Labor Day.
| Quote: | A nail manufacturer in the heart of Trump country says that tariffs from President Donald Trump’s escalating trade conflict are putting its business at risk.
The Mid-Continent Nail Corporation in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, said this week that it had recently laid off 60 of its 500 workers because of the hefty 25 percent tariff that the administration has slapped on steel imports from Mexico and Canada.
Mid-Continent, described as the largest nail manufacturer in the United States, had been importing Mexican steel to turn into nails state-side. The company, which was started in 1987 by two local brothers, said sales plummeted by 50 percent in just two weeks after it raised prices to cope with the elevated steel costs.
Mid-Continent spokesman James Glassman told CNN that the company is now “on the brink of extinction” unless the Commerce Department grants its request for a tariff exclusion.
As things currently stand, Glassman said the firm could shutter its doors as early as Labor Day. Another option on the table is relocating to Mexico, he said. |

A report that Donald Trump is looking to walk away from the World Trade Organisation and instead adopt a United States Fair and Reciprocal Tariff Act, or Fart Act, has been greeted with loud amusement on Twitter.
He's a pretty fart smeller, I mean smart fella!!! |

| Trump is following in the footsteps of the great Herbert Hoover, and Mr. Smoot, and Mr. Hawley. Oil is spiking and so is inflation, and the markets are reacting. |

I know you're not a student of financial history, but tariffs, or LARGE taxes, are never successful... Since when do you like taxes? |
