Except that he never actually existed. 😉 Wonderful picture though.

I think Greenberg is already there. Heilmann is a good choice. Hal Newhouser too.

I agree with this. I see very few people switching from MAGA to Dem, but I can see a lot more no shows especially after Trump is no longer eligible.

I hope they eventually change the challenge thing to an elctronic strike zone on every pitch. If the challenges are accurate, why not just do it automatically? If they are not accurate don't use it at all. Why make a game of timing the challenges?

So? Nobody cared about the Stormy Daniels affair. That was like a speeding ticket compared to other stuff he has done. All anybody cared about was inflation, so they voted against the "inflation party". In 2020, the voted against the "Covid party". Short memories. If they had a vote today now that Trump his displaying his abject stupidy 24/7, he would lose.

Yeah, I think most of them care a lot. Nobody is going to give up their free time to go to a boring protest unless it means a lot to them.

They did learn after his first term. That's why Biden got so many votes in 2020. Americans have short attention spans.

It doesn't matter anymore who they voted for in 2016 or 2024. It matters who they vote for in 2026 and 2028.

That's exactly who I want to see at these protests.

I did not go to the No Kings protest in my town, although I went to one last year (my first ever protest). I drove through the area earlier and it looked liked they were getting ready for a big crowd. There was a large police presence getting ready, although I doubt they needed it. Last year there was one guy with with a pick up Truck and a Trump 2028 flag driving around trying to stir up trouble, but nobody took the bait.

Those are names that you use for your friends/teammates. These guys are not our friends. Universal nicknames that fans use are different.

So many positive things happening this year already. Two great wins.

The Dingler throw was flukey. Carpenter is not a good fielder.

This is one of the only self aware things Truimp has ever said:

How about just call him McGonigle? If he develops a nickname naturally, that's fine. No forced nicknames.

They also led the majors in OOB (outs on the bases). They were good overall, but they didn't have a historic baserunning season like a lot of people keep saying. Aggressiveness is good, but it comes with a cost.

I bought everything he said at the time. I think I fnally figured out it was BS when he said the same stuff about Lovullo.

Yeah, it's been fun, but he just wants to declare victory and then move onto his next drama. He has no long term plan for anything.

I remember that one. The Tigers got off to a strong start the first week and I was thinking: "This is going to be just like 1984". What a disappointment that turned out to be. The best one that I don't remember was Billy Bean: 4 hits, including 2 doubles just like McGonigle. I remember him doing well initially, but I don't specifically remember that game.

I am not expecting much from him given his age and MLB track record. Any success he has will be considered a bonus.

I hope he's more like McCovey than the others! I didn't know Billy Bean had 4 hits in his debut. I don't remember it being a huge deal at the time. He wasn't a big prospect like McGonigle, so the anticipation was not there I guess.

There is no turning back for me. I dumped two ugly satellite dishes over the past two years. If I shift back to something convenient, it will be cable. By the way, speaking of baseball on tv/radio, what kind of satellite radio set up do you have? If I get it again, I want something as simple as possible.

It's more expensive, but a lot easier. It wasn't seamless for me for various reasons, but much better that my roku/youtube combo. I had the combo last year too and it's hit or miss. Sometimes, the voice control gets me there fast. Other times, I go in circles.
