  1. If it is going down its also important that the spike was about half of what the others were.
  2. Before I signed a lower tiered catcher I would keep Garneau and give Dingler equal opportunity in ST to make the team. They already have plenty of lower tier catchers so why sign another.
  3. Either I wasn't clear or you're missing the point. Where does it end. It appears if someone is offended over something its ok to destroy it or remove it. If thats the criteria for one person why is it different for someone else? Is the liberal opinion all that matters? So when these people saving us from themselves realize that Amercans killed hundreds of thousands of Japanese in WWII it will be ok to tear down all the memorials and omit it from history books?
  4. Just bring on the computers or robo- umps to call balls and strike. It will make a uniform zone for everyone. It will be the umps own fault for so many poor calls.
  5. I saw on the news a few months ago where a city - that I cant remember where - erected a statue of Floyd and it was vandalized. They were looking for the people who did it to press charges. Where does it end on statues or even memorials? Many places have them celebrating soldiers who fought in wars. The US military these things honor have killed a lot of people. Will they be torn down next? Tearing down monuments or destroying history is not going to erase that history. To remove a statue of a person like Washington because he owned a slave seems rediculous. No matter how wrong it was in our history it was common and legal. 200 years from now people might look back at us and say how terrible we are for doing something we consider normal. Who knows?
  6. Why are the statutes there in the first place? Are they there because they supported slavery or for other reasons? Why is ok to desecrate or tear down these statutes but a crime to do the same thing to a G. Floyd statue? A lot of double standards.
  7. Trump was actually a democrat at one time.
  8. He did a lot of good things and I can't deny that. That's what people like about him not his non-stop talking and saying stupid things at times. If Biden does something good I will give him credit for it.
  9. You're right and we'll be giving a lot more if the democrats pass the $3.5 trillion budget package. Even though Joe says it won't cost us a cent.
  10. Most people that I know and work with got about $25 to $45 a week more in their paycheck. Me and my wife each got $30 extra a week and $1500 more back in our tax return.
  11. That was a bad move by Washington to hold Duvall at 3rd. Bases loaded, one out and the pitcher is next up. If it was 50/50 chance (which it was) I would have sent Duvall.
  12. I do like the post season but I agree with you Bert. I'm impatiently waiting to see who Chris and Al bring new to the team and who they let go.
  13. Trump was telling people what they wanted to hear and he followed through on a good many of those things. Kasich is a moderate and an idiot. Rubio didn't have the right message and would have been another do nothing POTUS. A lot of Americans were looking for a President that would do something different and work for the American people. Trump came along at the right time with the right message. As much as everyone here doesn't like him he still did a lot while in office, far more than Biden has done in 47 years and will ever do. And he did big things...biggly if it makes you feel better. He cracked down on illegal immigration, stopped the flow of people from terror supporting countries that hate us, stood up to Iran and got us out of that horrible so called nuclear deal Obama got us in although he didn't get the cash back, He didn't get us in any new wars, tax cuts, economy was booming before covid and unemployment at an all time low, peace in the Mideast that nobody has been able to accomplish and a few other things. Now Biden and democrats are in charge and everything has gone back to crap. How is that progress? Its not and it obvious these democrats are not working for the American people. America needs another President with the ideas that Trump had but that person needs to have a better delivery, know how to talk to people and most importantly, know when to shut up.
  14. The democrats still use the "Super Delegates" that gives the democrat party more power in who is chosen.
  15. I'm still surprised Trump made it through the primary. I beleive Clinton and Biden were more the choice of the democrat party seeing how and when some of their competition dropped out.
  16. I wish we only had 400 cases a day. On the other hand what about the businesses and their employees that are closed in Ontario? Are they receiving assistance from the Canadian government? That has to be tough going for those folks.
  17. I don't know who voted for Biden since they were mostly mail in ballots. Sorry I couldn't resist since you asked.😁
  18. There wasn't much of a choice and hasn't been for a few elections now.
  19. Yes it is a great country but we deserve a heck of a lot better than we have in office now and the one before.
  20. That call probably could have gone either way. After watching the replay I don't think I would've called it an error.
  21. The same thought goes to taking guns away. Only the law abiding citzen will give up their firearms. Criminals will not and they would have even more power over the law abiding as they would be defenseless.
  22. Where I live in Michigan masked are not used by many people. Even my doctors and dentist don't require me to wear a mask in the office. My work requires a mask but don't enforce proper usage since most are chin guards.
  23. I look at it if you want to wear a mask then wear one. I don't think any different of that person. Same as getting the vaccine its an individual choice. Some people don't want to put an unknown chemical in their body.
  24. Thats not a true statement. Nobody is ok with school shootings or any illegal shootings. People who disregard the law are the problem. Laws are only for the law abiding. Guns don't do anything on their own. They are just used as a tool. If guns aren't available they will use another tool such as bombs, hammer axe, knife etc. Many people depend on firearms for self defense, recreation, and to provide food.
  25. @oblongIm not sure what you are trying to say with the cartoon. The great majority of Americans don't wear masks. Are they bad people? People that are gun enthusiasts, carry firearms or hunt are not bad people either.
