Aren't the 3 guys 3rd and 4th line guys? That's like trading Veleno, Zadina, and maybe Rasmussen... And a 2nd... Do that for DeBrincat? I would say no only due to the upside of Ras. But swap out Ras for Mazur and I would say yes.

Georgia is looking at either Sedition or RICO... Legal scholar says Sedition, not just for Trump, but his whole Criminal Cartel...: https://www.yahoo.com/news/legal-scholar-report-suggests-doj-192952063.html Georgia decides on charges in August: https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/27/politics/brad-raffensperger-special-counsel-jack-smith/index.html

Mattison is interesting...

I guess I'll take that trade: Chafin for Holton. Works for me.

So ****ing sad. And so ****ing true.

I think that says everything about the IQ of the MAGA movement. A bunch of brainless F'ing MORONS following a 40-years proven MORON. Because... Mexicans. Oh wait, I meant 'Murica.

Ukraine has established a bridgehead on the east bank of the Dnieper River, across from Kherson City. If they can get forces across the river, including equipment and tanks and artillery... They'll be able to attack the Russians from 2 sides at the gateway into Crimea. 3 if you count their attacks north of Zaporizhzhia. If they break through in-between Melitipol and Mariupol to the Sea of Azov, and can both cut-off the land supply line as well as attack from 3 directions, I predict Russian forces rapidly melting into Crimea and hoping to hold on whilst Ukraine plans how to also take back Crimea... but... first things first: https://www.yahoo.com/news/ukraine-situation-report-breakthrough-across-200315515.html

Send him back to AAA to refine some... I don't see challenging someone at a higher level as a problem. Not for Tork, or Greene, or Carpenter, or Meyer, or Bigbie, or Keith. If they struggle at a higher level (Tork) then send them back down to work on things. If they figure it out, let them run (Greene, Carpenter)... What's the problem?

They're killing AA. Challenge them. Kerry Carpenter. (Or not...)

Crazy!!! So... Holmes knows what he is doing?

Weaver also said he's not "breaking the bank" so we're looking at lesser lights: Not Cam Johnson. Maybe Jalen McDaniels? I don't know how much Brown might get but if it's not "breaking the bank" then I would say he would be a good candidate... Although I think we need more frontcourt (SF/ PF) help than guard help. I can't see us signing Brown on that basis alone.

PLEASE: Call up Keith, Bigbie and Meyers to Toledo. Stick Malloy in LF/DH and leave him there, Keith at 3rd, Meyers at 1B, and Bigbie wherever he fits (LF/ RF/ DH?... Parker in CF...). And if Tork!!! can't figure out how to hit MLB pitching then send him freaking down to AAA and there are 4 different options to call someone up. Who with the Tigers can also play 1B? (Don't want to be locked into a Meyers-only option...). I'm getting fed up with his non-performance at the plate. I think I've had enough. Send him to AAA, as soon as possible... if he can't figure this out. IMO.

I wouldn't mind spending the contract on Cam Johnson... but it also costs assets... I would also absolutely need/want to move Bojan ala Betrayer, either way, who doesn't play defense anyways. If Cam doesn't work; then I would definitely be interested in Jalen McDaniels. Move Bojan, and then go after Cam or McDaniels as the new "vet" outside shooter. You can play either of these guys at either SF or PF so I don't think they block Ausar from taking over the SF spot if he gets up to speed quickly. If anything, they can put Stew on the Bench as the 6th-Man/ Energy guy off the bench. It would also be easier to put McDaniels on the bench as the 6th guy if that's the decision, and not so easy with Cam so there's also that... My vote is for McDaniels. That's my offseason recipe anyways...

I'm going to take a stab at a Red Wings draft through 4 rounds, but I'm going to cheat with the #17 pick: At # 9, Wings select: Axel Sandin Pellikka, RD At #17, Wings select: I Have No Clue. Whoever Stevie Y likes the best, and is available amongst Danielson, Honzek, But, Benson, Yager... maybe even Ritchie? I would guess it's between Danielson or Honzek, whoever is available, or But if those two are not. If we move up for Honzek, I'd rather trade Zadina than one of our 2nd rounders, but that's just me. At #41, Wings select Hunter Brzustewicz, RD At #42, Wings select Ethan Gauthier, RW At #43, Wings select Anton Wahlberg, C At #78, Wings select Cam Allen, RD At #117, Wings select Ruslan Khazheyev, Goalie After that it's too deep for me to WAG... (The Athletic has us selecting Ruslan at #117 and I looked him up and am 100% on board with that selection so... I'm cheating on this pick too I guess...). 5th through 7th rounds I'll let our excellent European scouts uncover some more undiscovered gems and I'll just leave it at that...

Campos went 4 for 4 plus a BB yesterday at WM... All singles... but it would be nice to see Campos take off...

Make a play to re-sign Bertuzzi....? Or shoot for better?

😉

Go, go, go!!!

They've also swarmed into Bakhmut I'm hearing... After all that hard work and dead (mostly convicts) Wagnerites and some Russian soldiers to achieve such a victory... And to lose it so quickly right back... How sad.

Blind adherence to a fascist wannabe dictator and the willingness to use violence is called... Fascism. Mussolini and Hitler perfected that. Trump is too incompetent to do the same but... We are now (and have been since 2020) a nation that consists of ~35% violent fascists willing to **** all over the Constitution of the United States and our Democracy.

Where is Pig Smuggler with his multitude of Insider Links...? He could tell us what Putin is REALLY thinking right about now...

The perfect distraction for Ukraine to take major advantage of...

And he'll work like hell to make it better. I can see Cade/ Ivey/ Stew and Ausar all in the gym competing to see who can make the most 3's out of 250 daily shots. They'll all work like hell to improve their LD shot.

I think I don't want Grant because of the cost, the contract, he'll be on the wrong side of 30 starting the very first year of this contract, and his defense is getting worse by the minute and is weak enough to not call him a 3&D guy anymore but, more like a 3 & OK D guy... I'll state my preference for Jalen McDaniels right here and right now.

I also preferred Hendricks for the reasons Tater stated but can get on board with Thompson for the reasons Weaver/ Del elucidate right here...
