I was just talking to someone about this issue yesterday. Many if not most kids are sensitive to peanut when they are young and may react. One of mine reacted when she was about one. The doctor said to wait a year and try again. We did and she was fine.

I work with a large youth organization. We had one peanut allergy kid. I asked his mom for some guidance then asked when he had his last reaction? It was eight years ago when he was two.

I asked if they ever did the peanut test at the hospital. Oh no, we would never consider that!!!!

In my opinion, anyone claiming peanut allergies and demanding special consideration must take that test and provide written doctor signed proof of the allergy

We do watch, and unlike (American) football, nobody (other than one Oakland A) takes a knee during the national anthem.

Folks allergic to peanuts had best stay away from Texas Roadhouse which has them all over the place including shells etc on the floor.

Yes a Yard Goat is apparently something used to tow train cars; the logo is reminiscent of the logo for the long ago New Haven railroad, with a green color reminiscent of the old NHL Hartford Whalers.

The first year of their existence they had to play all their home games on the road as Dunkin Donuts Field was not ready yet--despite a promise it would be. FBI investigated how much public money went into the project.

Have yet to see a game in that park though here's what it looked like a couple months before opening.

First they ruined football, now they have turned their sights on baseball.

I am sure she thinks that. But I am pretty sure even way back in prehistoric times such as the 70s, people were not too dimwitted to notice an alarming percentage of kids going into anaphylactic shock every time a another kid unwraps a peanut butter sandwhich in the lunch room at school.

I would be willing to bet anybody over 40 in this country can recall a single kid who had peanut allergies. Well, very few anyway

You’re the official scorer. How do you score that? Justifiable 4-base error?


3-base error on the first baseman? If the swing was a third strike, then the batter is out because the catcher did catch the ball.

Hartford Yard Goats vs Toledo Mud Hens. Now that’s one for the barnyard world series.

I’m a frequent visitor to Texas Roadhouse and often wonder why their practice of having peanuts and peanut shells everywhere don’t cause more controversy among the peanut-phobic crowd. Not that I want that to happen, I love Texas Roadhouse and have thrown many peanut shells to the floor in my time. I’m actually disappointed when there is no wait time for a table because I look forward to some time by the peanut barrel. They do have buckets of peanuts at the tables but not the same.

I’m allergic to red wine. I don’t expect the wine industry to cater to me and find a way to get all tannins out of red wine. I just avoid it.

Of course a liberal allergic to red wine would request that radio stations not play "Red Red Wine" by UB40?

I grew up in the 70’s and NEVER heard of a peanut allergy. Seems I first started hearing about them in the early 90’s.

It could be worse. The Huntsville, Al area is getting a new minor league team called the Rocket City Trash Pandas. "Trash Pandas" refers to raccoons.

Mrs. Buckeye has a very severe peanut allergy. And yes, she has gone on rants about Texas Roadhouse. But in the end we just choose not to dine there.

I suppose nanny states are now going to start forcing them to sweep up the peanuts.

Rocket City Trash Pandas, eh?

No more Huntsville Stars? They were a pleasant diversion
when the in-laws were living there.

What is the thing with horrible minor league baseball team names? Some of the Yard Goat’s competition in their league includes the Rumble Ponies, the Flying Squirrels and the Rubber Ducks.

“Perhaps people should seriously investigate why kids all of the sudden have nut allergies in such high numbers, where 40 years ago they were almost unheard of”

Because parents don't let their children play in dirt anymore, and allow their immune systems to properly develop.

Hartford Yard Goats are a CT taxpayer funded operation. Just following all the Libs at the statehouse. Never will go to see them, especially with tolls on all CT roads!
