at least ranking between eras has generally the same universe of teams, games played, conditions of play, etc. there are a few differences in the ball over the years, but nothing like the differences between mlb and the negro leagues. and the pool of players for the negro leagues was much smaller. a lot of barnstorming more than a set league. not that there wasnt a set league for a lot of the history, but not for all of it. i dont think the two leagues were equal and that the mlb pool of players was much deeper, but both leagues were diminished by the absence of the other league's great players.

i think ripken is actually overrated. he played a long long long time that helps his war, but he wasnt all that great for the second half of his career.

then they get into the usual rating of negro league players, which is almost impossible to judge.

bryece harper better than charlie gehringer. ok. those lists are designed to make you mad to get clicks. and it works.

the part where they called him an embarrassment to baseball because of lies al stump wrote in a book?

sorry middle eastern guys, you're all white now.

and his name is red savage. how can he not be a red wing?

no it isnt. and "selective data". ok chas. lol. data that disproves your point is "selective." with an insult on top of it! lol. this is all an exercise so you can call someone a "brah".

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/33138638/top-100-mlb-players-all-nos-100-51 stupid list (bryce harper?), but lots of tigers on it. cant wait to see how they underrate cobb.

data about supreme court justice appointees is not an anecdote, brah.

that's not an anecdote, but at least you got to use the word "brah" in a derogatory way. so good job.

what a miss by veleno. on a night he was mic'd up too. good win, although all i really wanted was for seider and raymond to outplay zegras. i've sort of given up on the calder. raymond has slowed down once bert was moved to line two and zegras has the showy plays that make highlights, so he'll likely win. but seider is the roy. he's gotten even better as the season has gone on. he plays on pp and pk, he goes up against the other team's best all night, and he' carrying dead weight like osterle or dekyser around every shift. he's been amazing. but unless he get some awesome goals or hits he wont win.

no, he could not do that

right. because i was talking about "americans" and as you note above "you dont care what the average american thinks." so youve spent the last two pages arguing what tater wants to argue about (republicans are racists, rinse repeat) and not what i was talking about. its been two pages of us talking past each other.

what part of "americans" dont you understand? again, youre making your point about how you think all republicans are racist. i'm saying "AMERICANS" largely support "immigration". "americans" includes more than just republicans. did you even look at that link i posted, or did you just google muslim ban until you found an article that said republicans liked it?

i said 75% of americans are supportive of "immigration". that's true. i know you think all republicans are racist. we get it.

all those things were unpopular with americans except maybe the wall. so what's your point? other than maga sucks, which yeah we get it.

youre right, im not arguing with what you wrote because what you wrote has nothing to do with what i was talking about. its the usual tater rant of things tater wants to rant about. most americans love the idea of "immigration." all the polling says so. but they hate illegal immigration and see it as a problem. thats not just your bogeyman "maga trump people," thats most americans. so im not sure what all your ranting about walls and muslim bans has to do with that. and just so you know, truno's "muslim ban" was very unpopular wirh americans. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2015/12/16/upshot/how-unpopular-is-trumps-muslim-ban-depends-how-you-ask.amp.html

youre fixated on maga people. that's a nice enemy that you can safely parody. im talking about the majority of americans. the majority if americans have a problem with people coming here "illegally." they have no problem with people - no matter what their color - coming here through legal processes. g2 may consider that a distinction without a difference or some sort of marketing technique by the gop because 100 years ago italians came here on a boat, but i think he's wrong. i think its a real distinction. tater, all you want to do is call "maga supporters" racists. fine. cool. but youre really not arguing against my overall point. at least not with anything other than anecdotal evidence and rants against "maga".

the world is a much different place than when most of those immigrants came here. regardless, youre not really arguing with what i wrote, your just making a comment about history.

what are you arguing with me about? like i said, americans like to think of america as a place immigrants come to. ergo, why most americans have a favorable view of "immigration." its the origin story of the country and people like it. even all the maga people you think are nothing but racists. that said, americans do not like illegal immigration and theyre worried about it. see the poll numbers. politically, that's good for republicans. its probably a big reason why trump got elected in the first place.

there's too much smoke to this vikings stuff not for there to be some fire.

lol. no. yeah, michigan needs to save money so it will go cheap on a head coach while msu and psu pay $9 million per year. sometimes i wonder how you view michigan's athletic department. remember when they made harbaugh the 2nd or 3rd highest paid coach? a covid blip in revenues isnt going to slow michigan down. if harbaugh leaves its because he wants to go back to the nfl, not because michigan had some magical line they wont cross to pay a football coach.

they just re-did the armor room and now its really cool. a whole bunch of suits of armor, swords and old guns.
