So, Donald Trump had Thanksgiving dinner with Biden?

UI reminds me of the fans who went ape shit when the Tigers dropped Randall Simon and Juan Acevedo after 2002.

For the record, I am excited to see what Harris and the rest of the front office will do this winter. I don't expect them to be good in 2023, but I want to see how they operate as it will give us clues as to how they might approach the future. They could very well be headed for another several years of futility, but there is no reason not to give the new management a chance for a couple of years.

Does anyone?

Your cage mates are going to vote for me?

Replacement level at best.

This about Reyes. Isn't it?

I can kind of see the opposite: "keep Parker around longer" as a favor to Austin. Not picking up Austin because Parker isn't good enough seems like a stretch.

We are a nation of laws, but they only apply to the lower classes. The ruling class can do what they want.

yeah, I was being cynical. If you can find somebody you trust, then great. I had somebody like that for a while and he helped. Then he moved to a different firm and I could see that they were pushing him to sell stuff and he became less helpful.

The first piece of financial advice I would give any young person is don't pay for financial advice.

I usually don't because the odds are still very low of it happening. I admit I thought of it a couple of times at work because I work at a Jewish University which slightly ups the odds of an anti-semitic attack. However, I realized there is really no way to prepare for that moment.

How does someone get to the point where he becomes a mass murderer? Here is one answer:

Candelario likely dropped because of money. Same with Reyes to some extent. However, I think there is a pattern - Reyes, H. Castro and Willi Castro can not draw walks. I am betting there will be more emphasis on on base skills going forward.

The devils they don't know.

Not all of us. He sucked in 2022, but he didn't suck in 2020-2021 and seems like a good candidate to bounce back.

I think it's a bear!

That is beautiful.

I don't know. Based on the language he uses, he sounds like he could be reasonably intelligent and civil. I think it's just a show.

It's for money, attention and revenge. He'd probably enjoy some of the fruits of fascism if it happened, but I really don't think he likes being president.

This guy is a nut job, but he puts on a damn good show. https://twitter.com/BuzzPatterson/status/1593817398229889024?s=20&t=8FPL4XTCeW-kwpRZy39j9A

That makes sense to me for up the middle positions. When your first stringer goes down, you are generally going to lose some offense no matter what position it is. You can't afford to also lose defense at a key poisition. You should also have a bat or two on the bench, but that should be at 1B or corner OF.

Tigers continue to work the waiver wire. I don't know if any of these guys will amount to anything, but I like the constant effort to acquire new talent.

The Castros have been non-tendered too. I like that because I want the Tigers to find players with different skillsets. I am not upset about Candelario either, just a bit surprised. Of course, it depends on which new players they get.
