So he... Attacked Ukraine out of 'Roid Rage? Consider the possibility...

How do we build a second line around Vrana? Is it Suter-Zadina? Can Berggren-Soderblom make the team next year? Are those the guys that team up with Vrana to create an effective 2nd line. What other/ better options are there...? I'm going to assume that going after FA's is too expensive an option at this stage... but maybe the time s right? Or a trade or two?

Past results are no guarantee of future results. I could care less about past, unrelated results... which are, not going to cause me to start crying that the Sky is Falling. When it's not.

Not certain about Ukrainian, but that works perfectly in English: "Remember The Alamo". "Remember Mariupol".

Because... Chicken Little Syndrome.

Serious, serious Jeff Beck vibe...

Ken Burns is ALWAYS fascinating.

There's been quite a few of those the past 6 weeks...

Collins: "I'm pretty certain he has learned his lesson this time." McConnell: "I'm pretty certain he has learned his lesson this time." Barr: "I'm pretty certain he has learned his lesson this time." Graham: "I'm pretty certain he has learned his lesson this time." Buddha: "I'm pretty certain he has learned his lesson this time." Archie Bunker: "I'm pretty certain he has learned his lesson this time."

He WAS actively involved. He ORCHESTRATED the COUP ATTEMPT.

BULLSHIT. BULLSHIT.

Anyone who thinks that Trump is some benign narcissist, and that's it... Is full of shit. Hate my opinion if you want... but Tater is 100% correct. Trump wants to overthrow our Democracy and take power all to himself. Fame and fortune are side benefits that he will siphon as much as he possibly can... But he wants to be a dictator, pure and simple. Not to repeat myself but... anyone disagreeing is NAIVE in all caps and utterly beyond belief.

god can go fuck himself. I make my own plans.

I have no interest in Noam Chomsky. Never have. But I have a friend ("acquaintance" actually) who was all into his ideologies. No thanks.

This is so weird if you actually think about it. Whatever life I build for myself, whatever career, family, choices, "pull myself up from bootstraps", life... I make for myself... was my "destiny". Pretty much horseshit. There is no destiny. Only what you create for yourself. And that's not destiny, that's making choices. It's so weird to think that people look at that and think "Oh, that was meant to be...".

Need some extreme lineup measures... It's time to move Tork up to the cleanup spot. Until Baez heals, we have a hole in the 3-spot. We're stuck with Candy in the 3 spot until then I think. But I also think that Candy can be a pretty decent hitter and putting Tork behind him might help get him back on track. Just a guess... But in the 1-2 spot I'm looking at righty-lefty splits. That means against RH'ers it's Baddoo-Meadows, then Candy, Tork, Miggy? then choose the lesser evil of Castro, Barnhart, Grossman (or Reyes?), Schoop (against righties) for 6-9. Against LH'ers it's Reyes, Grossman, then Candy, Tork, Miggy, Schoop, then choose the lesser evil of Castro, Haase (or Garneau?), Grossman (or Cameron? or Meadows? or Baddoo in the 9th spot?) for 7-9. I can't wait for both Baez and Greene to be back in this lineup.

I guess we can really start looking at draft spot now... We're in the 9th spot at the moment... with 7 games left to go...

No. The only acceptable outcome is 7 straight Cy Young Awards, and all for the Tigers (none of this Scherzer gets his after leaving the Tigers horseshit...). Mize squeezes in with one at the end and the other 6 are divided evenly by Skubal and Manning, alternating each year. All three finish in the top 10 votes for the award... starting next year. Skubal looks like he'll make it there this year though...

The whole name still has to ring. If it's "Kutter Jones"... I'm on board. "Kutter Jones is now on the mound..."
