I'll never understand why Florida isn't a Baseball State...
Despite another strong season, posting a 99-63 record, the fourth best in MLB this season, the Tampa Bay Rays can't seem to draw a crowd. During Game 1 of the team's AL Wild Card series against the Texas Rangers, which they lost, 4-0, Tropicana Field hosted a measly 19,704 fans. That's the lowest attendance for a playoff game since 1919.
The Rays routinely rank among baseball's lowest in home attendance and drew 1.44 million this season. The team averaged 17,781 for 81 home dates this season; only the Kansas City Royals, Miami Marlins and Oakland Athletics had a worse average attendance.

A New York judge who's most likely lived in a rent-controlled apartment his whole life ruled last week that former President Donald Trump inflated the value of his Mar-a-Lago estate by an eye-popping 2,300%. That finding, part of shocking ruling that found Trump and his adult sons liable for fraud, was just one of multiple examples in which Judge Arthur Engoron found the Trump real estate empire to have been grossly inflated in value. It also proves that the judge has his head up his ass and has never been out of New York, where fucking 2-bedroom apartment condos sell for $ 15,000,000.00.
But the Mar-a-Lago finding in particular is raising eyebrows among real estate and legal experts because of the metric Judge Engoron relied on: the county tax assessor’s appraisal value. “From 2011-2021, the Palm Beach County Assessor appraised the market value of Mar-a-Lago at between $18 million and $27.6 million,” Engoron wrote in his ruling.
The judge noted Trump valued Mar-a-Lago at between $426.5 million and $612 million, “an overvaluation of at least 2,300%, compared to the assessor’s appraisal.” But it’s widely known to every person ont he planet but this guy that the tax assessor valuation is always less than what a property would command on the open market.

Things musta been awfully slow the other day at the offices of The Sun that they felt the need to craft this crazy shit, right? But the sad truth is that it's probably semi-legit and could happen. Maybe. What a fucked-up world we live in now. Read this: https://www.the-sun.com/motors/9242944/terrorists-hack-driverless-cars-attacks/

Owls don't have eyeballs. Instead they have elongated tubes held by sclerotic rings. Owls can't move their eyes around, which is why they have to move their entire head to look in different areas.

"The sound of gentrification is silence". Hey maybe, just maybe, y'all should face the truth that your people and those other POC are some loud mofos. Doesn't matter if it's your swarms of 2 stroke dirt bikes illegally driven on the street, the daily shootouts and "celebratory" gunfire, the insanely overdriven thud of your simplistic primitive "music" or even 5 of you together in a movie theater. You knowingly and deliberately use noise as a weapon to irritate others, then climb on your uppity high horse and play victim when anyone complains. That's the truth and I won't hide from it.
ReplyDeleteA government system that uses fraud to determine if fraud has been a problem is the problem.
ReplyDeleteBaseball died when Charlie Finley (Who severely under-paid his players) sold off the star players from the A's to the Yankees. And Free agency. Maybe Bouten's book Ball Four is another culprit. (I liked the book).
ReplyDeleteOnce you get north of the border it all changes. The minor league team, the Savannah Bananas, has just completed their 6th consecutive sold out season. Truist Park has a capacity of 41 thousand and change. The Braves averaged 38.6 thousand which is about a thousand more than last season. The Braves have a lot of sold out games but 2 or 3 thousand don't show for whatever reason. Most games were sold out this season.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the value of Trump's properties, wouldn't it be incumbent on the court to rely on experts in the field and from the local professionals to estimate valuations of real estate?....and if there was no crime committed, how can there be fraud?....Trump paid the money back and I assume the banks were in agreement with the estimates of value and wealth put forth by Trump and his organization to justify the loans... otherwise, they would be just as guilty of fraud....want to save the country?....kill all the democrats, especially the demonrat judges....BTW, who in the everloving fuck allowed this clown of a judge to get where he is?....I guess he sucked the right dick, huh....he definitely looks like a cocksucker....if Al Swearingin were here, he'd call him like he is...{for those who don't remember, Deadwood was a series where the main descriptive word was cocksucker}
