Babesleaga Group Z : Week 2 Results and Standings

Week 2 is in the books and we have an update on the coming weeks. As you may know I will be moving at the end of May. As of today that is specifically May 29th. If the renovators finish sooner I may move up that date but I think it will remain no matter. What this means is that I should be able to get this group finished before I go internet dark awaiting my new set up. Week 7 opening on 27th. The final tallies may be delayed and the next group also by a week. I’ll see how quickly I can get the pictures together and formatted.

I’ll be glad when the move in is over and settled.

Now on to the ladies.

Looks Like I Picked the Wrong Week To Give a Rip About Sports

MLB Ump Angel Hernandez Had Fans Fuming Again With Awful Call
Sports Illustrated | 4/22/24 | Andy Nesbitt

The 2024 Major League Baseball season has had a big problem with umpires making bad calls. Leading that charge yet again has been Angel Hernandez, who continues to be one of the worst umpires in the game.

He unfortunately lived up to that reputation while working home plate in Sunday’s New York Mets-Los Angeles Dodgers game when he called a clear strike a ball.

NOT a screen shot of the call in question:

Still, I’m out seventy bucks because I bet on the replay.

Interesting Comment From This Judge

NYC Man Convicted Over Gunsmithing Hobby After Judge Says 2nd Amendment ‘Doesn’t Exist in This Courtroom’
Red State | 4/22/24 | Jeff Charles

A Brooklyn man has been convicted of 13 weapons charges after having been arrested and charged in 2022 for building his own firearms. Dexter Taylor’s ordeal could become a landmark Second Amendment case in light of the Bruen ruling handed down in the same year.

I’d be interested to know at what point a piece of piping becomes a firearm. Once it is rifled? When it gets closed at one end? Is plumbing a firearm? Where is the definition?

The jury found Taylor guilty of second-degree criminal possession of a loaded weapon, four counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, five counts of criminal possession of a firearm,

Well, is it four or five?

second-degree criminal possession of five or more firearms, unlawful possession of pistol ammunition,

That’s a crime?

violation of certificate of registration,

? His car?

prohibition on unfinished frames or receivers. Two lesser charges, including third-degree criminal possession of three or more firearms and third-degree possession of a weapon, were not voted on.

The judge disrupted Varghese’s opening statement multiple times as he tried to set the stage for Taylor’s defense. Even further, she admonished the defense to refrain from mentioning the Second Amendment during the trial. Varghese told RedState:

She told us, ‘Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York.’
