I don't think Ibanez is in "huge danger". I expect him to make the team. Tork and Malloy are mostly DHs. I don't see them carrying both.

As a dark skinned Greek who has been mistaken for an arab on more than one occasion, I am always a bit wary in travelling. Now, it will be worse.

More like the roil family.

Based on suspicion or hope?

One of the more interesting things is that first year voters were overwhelmingly in favor of Trump.

6,7 and 8 matter a lot too.

That's because the stink of Trump was on everyone's minds due to Covid. That is an example of non-voters getting desperate for a change. Without Covid, I believe Trump would have won in 2020. Unfortunately, grandpa Joe put them to sleep again the next four years.

Or 4th spot assuming they will be looking for ways to limit Jobe's innings.

Yes, the Democrats do need to win votes. They don't need to beg. They need better candidates that know how to reach voters. I think people in this forum underestimate the number of people that don't see voting as a responsibility. A lot of people think politics is stupid and just doesn't matter to their lives. It was not obvous to a lot of people that anything big was at stake and it still isn't obvious to them. If people thought the same way about Trump that most of us do, they would have voted. They just don't see it though.

The problem is there are lot of people that really are unaffected and there is no desperation. My two nephews don't vote and are not gettig any rights taken away since they are straight white American males working in the private sector. Both tell me that politics is stupid and a waste of time. They also both know that Trump is a joke, but they just don't care. I don't know if the wife of one of nephews voted. At one point, she sad she wasn't voting because Biden was too old an senile and she felt sorry for him. If she did eventually vote, it was for Harris. My niece didn't vote because she knows nothing about politics. She thinks Trump is nasty. I think she can be reached.

The Catholic Church refused to recognize the marraige. My mother's Catholic family was so upset about the wedding that most of them refused to attend. It was as controversial as an interracial marraige at the time. So, the wedding took place at the Greek church. Hearing that story as a young adult was one of the things that really turned me off on organized religon.

The vibe I got growing up in a Catholic/Greek Orthodox family (a very controversial mix at the time) is that Protestants were not real Christians. My parents never actually said that and they were not dogmatic in their views. It's just the feeling I got from hearing them talk about religion. When I got older, I found out that Protestats thought they had the real religion!

It could. I went most of my life with the feeling that government had no effect on me whatsoever. I only paid attention because I am curious person and wanted to be aware of what was going on, but I really didn't care that much. I can understand why someone who is not curious would be turned off by politics which doesn't affect them. I would expect more people to care if someone took away their rights away, but they would still have to be convinced that there was a voting option which actually cared about them. I don't think that has happened for a while.

They either don't care because they think politics sucks or they very much disliked both candidates. Remember that the Democrats are not entitled to anyone's vote. What are you doing to make them interested?

And they continue to insist MAGA has nothing to do with racism.

Textbook bully. The one thing about bullies is that they always have underlying insecurities. Although she was a weak candidate, the one thng I liked about Harris was how accurately and bluntly she exposed all of his insecurities and caused him to melt down in their one debate. We've needed more of that all along.

How about this guy? https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=dalkow001ste One year, he struck out 262 and walked 262 in 170 innings.

I will only be important for a few hours though.

I agree with the bill that says TDS should be classified as a mental illness. I probably disagree with him on whch people have the illness though.

This is very odd. It looked deliberate, but then her arm kept flailing afer she hit her (even after she dropped the baton) and then she stopped running. My guess is she wanted to hit her to throw her off stride (which is of course very wrong) and then realized she hit her a lot harder than she had intended.

They are not going go 54-28 with him in the line-up again, but I agree they really need him healthy. He is probably going to be 3-4 wins beter than his replacement and, given where they are at, that could very well be the difference between making the playoffs and going home.

It's definitely about timing. I made pretty much all my money in the last 15 years and have very little to show prior to that. On the other hand, if you are a passive investor like most people including me for the most part, trying to time the market will proably hurt you.

I prefer to call it "The Party"

Maybe next year they should try not losing 13 games and losing to a 16th seed in the conference tournament.
