Kervin's kurve wasn't working today.

I don't care much for the Lincoln Project, but I think this is 100% accurate. The only thing I would add is that it was planned in 2016, not 2020. He was ready to do the same thing back then if he had lost.

The sabers have taken over the WBC! Those bastards ruin everything.

Every poll I have seen has him destroying the field.

I'd rather they keep Schoop. He is a better defender, two years younger and had a good offensive season more recently than Hernandez. I'd just hate to see them keep both.

Are Schoop and Hernandez both going to make the team?

one of his Kerouac's wives visited my house once. She was the friend of a friend of my father. Unfortunately, I was too young to care.

Yes, because of Covid and opioid addiction.

You pick a player and support him all year no matter what. Actually, hardly anybody remembers to support their player. It's just an activity which breaks the Spring training monotony.

Sure, they'll live to 85 or 90 and they'll spend the last 10 years on expensive medication and long-term care. They won't be sble to afford it. Who's going to pay for that?

ChatGTP describing a fight between Biden and Trump in the voice of Kerouac: If I were to describe a fight between Donald Trump and Joe Biden in the voice of Jack Kerouac, it might go something like this: There they were, man, two old cats, faces twisted in anger, ready to tear each other to shreds. Trump, he was all bluster and bravado, like he was trying to prove something, you know? Biden, he was more reserved, like he was just waiting for the right moment to strike. The crowd was going wild, man. They were shouting and hollering, like they were at some kind of gladiator match. But I could see it in their eyes, man, that they were hungry for blood. And then it happened. Trump made a move, and Biden was on him like a tiger. They were grappling and punching, man, throwing wild haymakers and trying to take each other down. It was brutal, man, like something out of a movie. They were both bleeding and bruised, but they just kept coming, like they were fueled by some kind of primal energy. And then, just as suddenly as it had started, it was over. They were both lying on the ground, panting and gasping for breath. The crowd was silent, like they couldn't believe what they had just seen. I don't know who won, man. I don't think anyone did. All I know is that it was a dark moment, a moment when the violence and anger that simmered just below the surface of our society boiled over into something truly ugly. And I hope to God we never have to see anything like it again.

I asked ChatGTP to explain why Parker Meadows should start for the Tigers in the style of John Steinbeck: Regenerate response Regenerate response

I agree the early 90s Tigers were a fun team. If they have to be mediocre, I'll take that form of mediocre.

The Tigers are second in OPS and 21st in ERA this Spring. Imagine if their hitters come through and their pitching fails. Spring stats mean almost nothing, but it could happen!

Justyn Henry Malloy I am not calling him JHen.

I have blocked a lot of MAGAs including Musk and MTG, but others keep re-tweeting them. I also muted all the people that have been saying for 7 years that Trump is in trouble, going to be indicted, going to jail. It used to give me hope, but it now just depresses me because I know it will never happen.

You could say the same about Carpenter or a number of other players vying for a spot on the roster. Pretty much the entire roster is an unknown and it won't be known until they play real games. I'd rather see a player do well in Spring training than not, but spring training performance is lowly correlated with regular season performance.

I am more interested in projected OBP, but Carpenter's projected power overrides what slight projected advantage Baddoo might have there. The bigger question is defense. Despite his poor throwing arm, I believe Baddoo will be a better more versatile defender.

Hold off until the 12th and call it a tie at that point. Doing it at all is bad, but 12th is better than the 10th.

I sometimes encounter Substack when I am doing searches for work. I wouldn't expect most people to know what it is. I am not even sure what it is other than an occasional source of obscure Stata commands and how to use them.

They are the most disgraceful collection of human beings I have seen. I am not talking the followers. They are just being manipulated. I am talking about the higher ups who hang with Trump.

It is true I don't trust any national level politician. They ALL lie frequently. Some are worse than others. Some have lines they won't cross. Others have no respect for the truth at all.

What if you don't like any of them?

I believe inflation and low unemployment have been caused by different reasons than past inflation and unemployment. In regards to unemployment, I think the pandemic caused a lot of people to leave the work force for early retirement. A lot of other people have changed jobs to take advantage of remote opportunities and gig jobs. It's going to take a while before everything settles down.

As someone who works at a university, I would bet that the university benefitted more from this than she did. I would think that there were a limited number of qualified candidates and perhaps no Native Americans applied. We don't usually get Native America applicants where I work (which might be a recruiting problem). Regardless, given all the horrible things that politicians have done over the years, this ranks as pretty minor. It's the only thing they could find to personally smear her, so they have milked it as much as possible.
