Kind of. You’d use stick side/glove side for a shot that went in. If it missed, you’d still say wide left or right. ETA: how did I end up talking about hockey in this thread? ---

I remember George Carlin advocating making baseball more exciting by letting the base runners keep the bat. “You’re going into enemy territory, man. Take that big stick with you. Come into third base like _this_ (swinging wildly) and see how many double plays you break up!” ---

Perhaps sports should use maritime terminology and refer to port and starboard. ---

I rarely pass on an opportunity to talk hockey. > [@Guest-starring\_Id](#): > > Never heard that, myself. Only “wide”. The wide left/right designation (plus “high and wide L/R” and “hit L/R post”) was introduced to official NHL scoring in the 2023-24 season\[1\].

It’s been mentioned in other threads, but, two years ago, Mississippi Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith blocked Scott Colom from becoming a federal judge. Today, Colom was declared the winner of the Mississippi Senate race, defeating Hyde-Smith. ---

> [@Railer13](#): > > Today, Colom was declared the winner of the Mississippi Senate race, defeating Hyde-Smith. Trump has already claimed the election was rigged, although (strangely) it took him 6 days before he got around to that. Chances are he’s going to be especially peeved that MS went blue. Just like he was especially upset about Georgia in 2020. ---

Russian diesel fuel tankers not landing. Up to four have now returned to sea. From Reuters: US companies are unlikely to import Russian diesel as a tanker full of the fuel [idles off the US Eastern Seaboard](https://www.bairdmaritime.com/shipping/tankers/tanker-with-russian-diesel-pauses-off-us-east-coast-awaiting-orders), experts said, despite President Donald Trump’s temporary waiver of some sanctions on Moscow’s fuel exports. Banks are likely to be reluctant to finance US deals for Russian diesel, the experts said, noting there are legal questions about whether the president’s waiver is enough to allow for the imports. There are also operational challenges, because importers would need to blend the Russian diesel to meet US heating oil specifications. ---

Big state with lots of isolated rural areas with spotty mail service. Their policy is to accept votes received up to 2 weeks after election day as long as they are post-marked by election day, if that gives an indication how long it sometimes take the postal service.
