Brewers going with the McCosky All Stars tonight on the mound... Is Rony Garcia next?

The symbolism of JD Vance breaking Ohio State's CFB National Championship trophy is amazing.

It’s Maeda Time!

Perfect Maeda inning brings his ERA all the way down to 9.64.

Carpet bomb!

3 outta 4 ain't bad. And considering the longer term, its the right 3.

It's certainly not meaningless .... it means about 30-45% higher.

No it was more like this $109 eBay special only not tapered. The gold one. Maybe 4” tall. It’s a treasured memory. I asked for more and mom said if I did I couldn’t go outside to play with beer on my breath. I had another.

Yeah, pretty sure my first beer was a Goebel. My Mom would pour me a small glass as payment for fetching her a beer. Unlike Bert, I was totally corrupted.

Yeah, I count that as a for sure loss. It's the....Twins.

It was Goebel's long necks at our house. The VFW hall had 2 bars, one with a keg room and one that served from bottles and Goebel supplied both the kegs and the cases of long necks, so the members piggy backed their orders on the Post's.

Royals and Twins both lose. Tigers still control their own fate.

Tigers with the best record in the AL, best run differential, 2nd most runs scored behind only the Yankees.

and tomorrow we can roll out Flaherty. This is kinda fun - Not quite Verlander/Scherzer territory but maybe as good as anything since then.

You know what I mean lol

This is the first beer I ever drank. Out of a can exactly like this and probably in 1959. I was watching a baseball game with my dad and I was given a half of a little metal orange juice tumbler of Strohs. And it tasted really good. The funny thing is is that I’ve never been a drinker. So I was not corrupted by this.

appropriately rusty

Took awhile.

Kenta might benefit from the ump "moving this one along."

It's easier for Harvard to play hardball, because they receive so much money from philanthropists, but it's good to see one university standing up to Trump's authoritarianism. This has nothig top do with anti-semitism and everything to do with control. It's not the president's job to tell universities what they can teach and what they can research with funds they have already been awarded. https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/14/us/harvard-rejects-policy-changes/index.html

no perfect game or no-hitter nonsense today...now he can pitch 7 easy innings.

Musk and other people on his wealth level don't give a **** about tax cuts. Do you think he gives a damn if he pays a top rate of 39% vs 37%? Especially when you consider his compensation is not salary based. They use the idea of tax cuts to fire up the tribes and keep them squabbling about useless stuff. They want control. Control of the regulatory agencies. Control of the agencies that award government contracts. Control of a justice system that will turn a blind eye to their crimes against humanity. Right now, the FAA is testing the possibility of replacing the current air traffic control system with Starlink. That alone would make him more money than any tax cut. How many NASA contracts is he pushing towards SpaceX? Government is going to get into the AI game eventually. Do you think Musk is pushing xAI to get any of that work? How many EV incentives can he push to sell more of his cars? Using government money to lower the price of his cars is free money for him. Think about Musk having sway over agencies that regulate his businesses. What if he could influence those agencies to write favorable regulations towards Tesla. If those regulations equal a 10% cut to the cost of producing a car, how much is that worth to Tesla stock price? How much is that worth to the guy who owns 400 million shares of the stock? What if he gets his fingers in the DOJ pie? How many corners can he start to cut if he knows he faces no real penalties for cutting them? Unfair business practices, mergers that should never be allowed to happen, unsafe work place environments, unsafe products reaching the consumer. Tax cuts are just a distraction these guys are using to occupy us while they pillage the country.

Haase will pitch with the way this one is going.

The World According to CARP

not that i would ever root for the blackhawks but the freak out possibility would be too good to miss. plus habs fans can be very annoying. the blackhawks dont really have fans until theyre winning. well, at least none that live by me, but i live in the nice part of town and not the white trash part of town.

Keep going. Make this lead Maeda proof

Tigers are playing like they're mad at the world. I love it!

Watched the first episode of LAST OF US Pt. 2 last night and it was spectacular. I’ve watched my son play both games all the way through and the games themselves are great. And in last night‘s episode there were more homages to the game that you would only get if you were familiar with gameplay, but they were deeply satisfying and the story and the changes that will necessarily have to be made to bring the game to television are really great as were the changes they made for the first season as well. It has now been proved beyond a shadow of doubt that you can make a good show about a video game, but you have to deeply care about the content of the game, but also be willing to change even important parts of the narrative to transfer it to the screen. That said, the Uncharted movie did an abominable job of this and this is a game that I watched my son play also because it’s fantastic entertainment and he played all four games and then the fifth game that is tangentially related to the previous four. Hanging with my son when he plays video games has been one of the greatest bonding experiences in our relationship. And that’s not easy to do when you have a son who is 50 years your junior.

I think it is likely a few BLM and Antifa and pro-Palestine "leaders" are picked up under Terrorist or Wartime statutes and sent immediately to slave prisons - even though they are Americans and really, that's all you need to do, to get people to shut up and not object to all the lawlessness.

That's the problem, he can start to disappear anyone he wants to. It's almost like something Russia or N. Korea would do. And who can stop him? Does SCOTUS have the authority to use the military during a constitutional crisis? My opinion is he's going to keep doing this crap until the people rise up in protest. Then he'll declare martial law and suspend the constitution. But....the price of eggs!!

he's going to grab some dark Americans he does not like and ship them to the slave prison, and congress and the courts will do nothing. what a sh\thole country.

It's suddenly going to dawn on John Roberts that since he has sold the credibility of his court for a handful of GOP magic beans there is going to be little outcry from the public that it's being ignored.

Yeah, this is my take on it, too. Feeling like we’ve crossed the boundaries.

The checks and balances in government are donezo. No one can enforce anything to stop them anymore. It’s not going to end here.

There is absolutely no regulation or standard regarding using the word "organic". It's a meaningless word.

Phil went ballistic. Not my mom!

Yes, a blunder. The fact is that with the mad king the best outcome is benign neglect not active hostility.

Maybe. But the Dems need to do more than win whisker narrow elections - they need to rebuild a coalition that is going to include a lot of the people - like the ones that carried Trump in our own state just last year. People may lose enthusiasm for Trump as he flails around this time just like last time but if all you do is run around yelling 'Trump is an idiot' how do your get past the implication to his voters that they are idiots, which doesn't get you anywhere- hasn't gotten the Dems anywhere since 2015 with Obama at the Correspondents dinner. None of which may really matter because the Dems still dont't have an economic message to the working class that appeals to them.

I’m not too worried about Gretchen going MAGA.
