They banned Pete Rose for betting on himself but now the MLB is in favor of gambling because so much money is involved.

I hate to see any game end on an official call especially when its a bad call. I usually hate 1B and 3B umps making these calls because they get them wrong a lot. The ump should have erred on the safe side that wouldn't have ended the game. Now he will be forever known in SF as the guy who screwed up the series with a bad call.

I haven't watched a hockey game in years until last night. The was an entertaining game and Wings gave it away. One thing I noticed was they seemed to be lacking the big hits and a lot of pushing and shoving but no fighting. Is it a league thing where they stop the fights before they get started now?

You should look up why Susan McDougal was put in jail. You will find out it had nothing to do with a Congressional hearing.

The SCOTUS Commission is supposed to meet today. Their initial findings are against expanding the court. They thought term could address the issues the democrats have. The problem I have with doing anything to the SCOTUS is that Court is supposed to be non-political and with a couple exceptions they currently are. If the democrats pack the court with their people it will turn it into another political body. The job of the SCOTUS is to interpret the Constitution and the law not rule on personal or political feelings. Most of the rulings show that. RBG was influenced the most by politics as was Alito. I find it funny that Sotomayor accused the court to be political when she is most politically influenced on the bench. I guessing the democrats will ignore this report if it doesn't fit their agenda. https://americanmilitarynews.com/2021/10/biden-supreme-court-reform-commission-releases-initial-report-here-it-is/

Susan McDougal was put in jail because she refused to answer questions before a grand jury. I think she stated her name and that was it. It had nothing to do with Congress. Who could blame her with the trail of bodies around the Clintons.

You have a point that it might be better to show up but not say anything. I don't think there's much they can do. I can't remember the specifics or the hearing (Benghazi?) but it was led by Republicans that some people refused to show and nothing happened.

If they would have played over .500 for only a month or two during the season I wouldn't have the same opinion. However, they played most of the season above .500. The hole they dug in April and early May was so deep it was impossible to get out of and back to .500 but they came close a couple times. Plus I look at the quality teams they won series against and even swept a few of them. I know the flip side of that is they had their butts handed to them by lesser teams often too. For some reason they could beat the best teams and lose to the worst. Go figure! Anyway I think it makes a good foundation to build on with obvious areas to improve. It gives me hope they will be over .500 in 2022 and possibly contending for a WC if they just get their labor issues settled.

Why would they vote in favor of something that Nutty Nancy was going to control. The Impeachment hearings were a joke with Shift and Nadler running it. Why would they give her another chance to do this?

My litmus test on if something is credible or not is someone is stacking the deck to get the result they want. Nutty Nancy and her clan have stacked the deck. Nothing worthwhile will come out of it that way.

I think they could do better than .500 with some FA help. Tigers played from May 8(?) to the end of the season over .500. The terrible start left them in a huge hole to dig out of.

This is an example of what is wrong with our country. People will allow their hate of a man to destroy a country. https://news.yahoo.com/anti-trump-republicans-back-vulnerable-115315092.html

Also your ideas of what a conservative is are off if you think McCain is one.

Im not a Republican just a Conservative. I have to side with the Republicans because thats as close to a conservative as we get currently. McCain was a joke of a candidate and the worst Republican candidate in my lifetime. Romney is a close 2nd.

They needed someone they could count on. So you think the democrats would like to replace Manchin or Sinema?

Liz Cheney is as anti-Trump as any democrat. She is a McCain like RINO. When you guys make comments like that it shows how little you know about the other side.

You are so correct. I don't like anyone who is destroying our country and favors people from other countries over American citizens.

Those committees weren't stacked against her. Democrats were allowed to choose their own people.

That's what you should be telling the people here that keep complaining about Trump this or that when he hasn't been in office in 9 months. Everyone should be worried about the demented guy in there now that only knows the ice cream flavor of the day.

I wouldn't show up to that either so good for Bannon for avoiding the circus. The entire hearing is as much of a sham as the impeachment hearing were. Nutty Nancy kicked Republicans off the so-call committee because they wouldn't automatically side with her. Now her sham committee is packed with Trump haters. A lot of you guys could have been on that committee. The verdict was in before it the hearings started.

Last I heard a month or so ago Abbott was going to try to get Texas to foot the bill to complete the Texas portion of the wall. I don't know if that fizzled out or not. Apparently most of the parts and supplies are there, they just need the contractors to assemble it.

I agree. I would rather see them spend big money on a 1 or 2 year deal instead of a career deal for a player. Problem is all top players want long term deals. Al should keep a big picture of Justin Zimmerman in his briefcase when he goes to the negotiating table to remind him what not to do.

The Angels have the 7th highest payroll in MLB. I was surprised to see they were higher than Padres who are 8th. Both teams have spent a lot with little results.

I enjoy discussing and debating politics but its not possible to do with someone who ignores facts or makes up their own. As other people say, you allow Trump to live rent free in your head. Until you post something that is relevant where you gain credibilty I will no longer respond to you.

Your comments are proof you don't care what the truth is. You just want to make excuses to blame others and follow your political party line. Biden issued an executive order to stop the wall. This is an older article and I think they also cancelled all the contracts since then too. They want the flood gates open. https://news.yahoo.com/biden-stopped-construction-trumps-border-060359881.html
