Here's Jimmy Kimmel's writers on Patrick McHenry: "He makes Mike Pence look like Tupac".

Western leaders have always recognized the aggressive expansion of Israel for exactly what it was. They just never dared to say so out of fear of offending wealthy political donors.

It would have life-like range.

Israel has never worried too much about its moral standing. It hasn't ever been forced to.

He's got something in the back of his trunks...what is that...it's some sort of foreign object...

I got 7 right. Their combined rarity was 9.8. Yes I got to use Edwin Jackson and 2 other faves, Lou Johnson and Wes Covington.

Malloy is an absolute lock. His OBP increased with every level that he moved up, and now in 2023 he hit 23 HR's in fewer than 500 AB's. He is going to lead off, in the hope that his .417 OBP in Triple A translates into about .370 in MLB, with power. They will try to hide him in LF twice a week, on the road, but he is the every day leadoff hitter, mostly at DH. He's exactly the same amount of "lock" that Keith is, and he doesn't need to play well in the spring. He's on the team.

I don't see Turnbull as disgruntled at all. Just faithfully following Boras' advice, no hard feelings. And why not?

Keith and Malloy will be on the opening day roster. It's way way way too early for Jung, he might not play for the Tigers at all in 2024. I'm not sure that Dingler will ever play for the Tigers, or Wenceel. Bigbie still doesn't understand that he isn't a prospect, so if he hits at Toledo he might get a look in August.

Who designed this ridiculous process? Was it "the Framers", as Sam Waterston used to call them? Is it embedded in your constitution?

And the fact that he had not played shortstop the previous year (and hasn't played it since).

Oh absolutely, "for God and country" is a good way to stir up the unwashed but conflict is always about land or water or gold or other economic resources.

Yes, if the Tigers aren't in, I've already tuned out until next March.

That answers my question about how a guy on DSL2 can be a free agent.

Looking at that list, we certainly can't say that "the Tigers don't sign enough Latin American players". They just don't sign the correct ones.

When you said "I really don't care anymore" that resonated with me, I don’t know for sure who is in the playoffs and even if I did know, I couldn't name more than 4 players on each team. I feel like it has become so much more watered down over the last 20 years that I am going to spend a lot less time on it in the future. .

They're the worst.

I also think it might have been a reference to comments made here that modern "regular" players get more rest days than their predecessors did. I didn't think it was a specific Tigers reference.

Wayne made some brief appearances in Ball Four.

One of my kids saw this online: People who are giving Matt Gaetz a hard time are forgetting all the good work he has done, making the nation's highways safer for young people. To learn more, Google "Matt Gaetz" plus "minors" plus "traffic".

Yeah, your face has a weary look, I can see that you are a little under the weather. Hang in there, you will be radiating optimism again in a few days.

John Schneider was the smartest guy in the room today, managing the pitching staff.

Jack LaLanne, wow. He's the granddaddy of them all.

LOL!!! Did you see the lady sitting on Trump's legal team at the front of the courtroom? She looks exactly like the lady who plays Melania on the Colbert show, sucking in her cheeks.

I think he was always a line drive hitter who was so strong that a lot of his "contact" went over the fence.
