It's a pretty effective combo. Trumps reels in all the red hats to get into power. Then the oligarchs manipulate him into giving them what they want.

Especially one that is not a good fielder and needs his bat to be useful.

In 1883, Providence beat Philadelphia 28-0 behind Old Hoss Radbourn.

That's another thing that can easily happen to a healthy older person, but when you have a very public job it can get magnified. It can certainly be a problem if it becomes too frequent but I wouldn't be concerned that "something is going on".

It's very common to forget names when you are in your 60s. It happens to me frequently. It doesn't matter too much in my work, because I don't need to say names much. It's more difficult for a broadcaster who doesn't have the option of just not sayig the name or hesitating until he gets it right. For example, if Framber Valdez is pitching, I can imagine an older broadcaster have Ismael on his mind and just saying it.

You finally made it.

I've seen from pretty vile stuff from gamblers when things don't go their way. This post was made after Arraez was carried off the field on a stretcher after his terrible collision at first base. https://x.com/hittinslips/status/1914096393062588737

Lots of fans missed the only nine-inning 7 hit game in history...Rennie Stennett.

The only bigger shutout since 1900 was this one: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN197509160.shtml

I got the win. That's all that matters.

I once threw about 150 pitches as a reliever in a Little League game. I came into the game when the starter allowed 7 runs in the first inning without retiring a batter. I then pitched my team to a 23-16 victory. Lots of walks and errors and an umpire with a small strike zone! Those games must have been torture to watch.

I was introduced to religion and some of the rituals, but was never indoctrinated. I used to try to become more faithful because I thought it was a good thing, but now I'm not sure it is good or bad thing. Religion is a personal thing that helps some people, but it never worked for me. There is too much uncertanty and things which don't make sense to me.

Thanks to Rajai

So much speed and athleticism on that team.

There is no such thing as being due! They will break out when they break out and there is no way of predicting when it will happen.

The Trump haters are turning against each other. That's what he wants!😀

What does that mean? The peril is there whether I underestimate him or not.

I'd take them over Trump though.

I agree he is a great salesman which is important in business, but I am not his target audience! Becoming president does require good sales skills, but being president requires so much more than that.

I think he is good at marketing and self promotion and getting people worked up, but I don't think it's calculated (at least not by him). I don't even think that part is all him as I am sure most of the online stuff is written by somebody else. A lot of it is intentional, but if he gets challenged on things on the spot like in a debate or press conference, he often melts down and I don't think that is intentional. When put in a situation where being somewhat intelligent might be to his benefit, he fails. It's frustrating to me that all the influential people in the country keep letting hm get away with it, becase he is easily exposed. Harris, who is no rocket scientist, totally manipulated him in the debate.

Toddlers know how to manipulate people too. That doesn't make them smart.

Nah, he's dumb. It's just that his strongest supporters are even dumber.

Every hitter on the Tigers active roster has a wRC+ of more than 100 except Jace Jung.

The difference between 2006 and 2025 is that in 2006 it always felt like they were lucky and would start to fade. This team feels like a really good team that came together faster than expected.

So, the GOP wants to increase taxes on the rich and Trump supports it? I wasn't expecting that. What is their angle here? https://www.marketwatch.com/story/trumps-plan-to-increase-tax-on-rich-could-hit-most-u-s-businesses-b829753d?mod=home_ln
