Timothy Burke’s home raided by feds

[Tighthead]

I loved Burke as an Expo. Great flow, great man. He was an old school Bible thumper - he and his wife adopted 4 orphans from other countries and he retired in part to raise them.

A friend worked for the Expos. Burke shared a rental house with Mats Naslund - he would get possession when the hockey season ended. He would loudly cheer against the Habs in the clubhouse during playoff games so he could get into his house.

This sort of thing carried over into video games. One good half season leading to inflated ratings that made journeymen into All-Stars.

Tim Burke was the single most dominant player in 1987 Stratomatic baseball. Not rookie McGwire. Not Andre Dawson. Not Clemens. Tim Burke. He was 7-0, 1.19 ERA. Very good in real life. In Strato? Impossible to hit. On his card you couldn't get a hit. Nor did his card allow a walk. So if the roll of the dice led to his card you were screwed as an opponent. It was infuriating! My cousin always seemed to end up with him and we got into hours-long arguments about his use of Burke. He'd bring him for three-inning saves though 30 years later he still denies this. But it happened. And he'd use him to save five straight games if necessary. Like, wouldn't he need a break after multiple multiple-inning saves? But my cousin just kept trotting him out there, utterly unhittable. Bitter text messages are still exchanged about this.

Kids today just do not understand the simple joy of Strat. It's still on computers, I guess, but that's not the same as pulling the board out, organizing the cards, opening a notebook to keep score and talking all sorts of shirt to one another. I once attempted a steal of home w/Roberto Alomar when only snake eyes would pull it off. I rolled a snake eyes. It was like that Family Guy when Peter pulled the car by his deck. My buddy was all "You'll never be able to do that again." Don't need to, pal. Don't need to.

The All-Star Game at Angel Stadium in 1989, the Bo Jackson game, he was on the NL staff and did well. He rushed through a postgame interview because he and his wife were flying to Guatemala to adopt a kid.

Behind-the-scenes videos of Tucker Carlson were leaked. Was it a crime?

"Federal investigators are probing the videos as a possible hack of Fox News. But a lawyer for a former Deadspin journalist under investigation says his client used publicly accessible information."

A source tells me he's "80% sure" Burke was in on the hacks.

I miss Bubbaprog.

It appears Rupert Murdoch and Tucker Carlson were hacked, an indictment comes in a couple weeks.

Fatfork commits every forking felony under the sun in full public view for years and years and years, including capital treason, Sleepy Merrick snores on.

 

[Regan MacNeil]

Do you really think every DoJ indictment crosses his desk for approval or are you truly just batshirt crazy?

Dude, you've been here a while. You know the answer to this.

 

[Starman]

Do you really think every DoJ indictment crosses his desk for approval or are you truly just batshirt crazy?

The ones that affect Rupert, Tuckie Wuckie and the old men in the diner seem to move at warp factor speed.
