I would have had no problem seeing Cabrera do those 7 years with another team. Like Chas said, one awful year is OK, but 7 is way too much. I loved to watch his great years. He was the best Tigers hitter of my lifetime, but I really wasn't all that attached to him. It wasn't like he was a lifetime Tiger like Kaline or Whitaker or Trammell. In fact, he won his only World Series on another team. His off-field activities were not very endearing either.

It better be.

I watched parts of the game only because everybody I know has been and will be talking about it. I don't do commercials or half-time shows, so it was on mute half the time. The superbowl is one of biggest scams we have with advertisetrs all over the country convincing us that the superbowl commercials are a must see event.

Yes, that is my first memory of Trump destroying something. I liked the USFL and was not happy that he destroyed it.

Trump tried to buy teams in the NFL for 35 years and was rejected every time and of course he always had a lame excuse. He tried to buy the Colts in 1981 and the was turned down. Then he claimed he never made an offer. Then he bought a team in the USFL and tried to merge the league into the USFL. He bragged to Rozelle how great he'd be for the NFL. The NFL was not interested. He claimed that Rozelle had offered him a franchise. The USFL, led by Trump sued the NFL. He tried to buy the Patriots in the late 80s. Again he was rejected and he claimed it was because he didn't want to take on the owners debt. He tried to buy the Bills in 2014 and was rejected him because he was too disruptive. He claimed he never wanted to buy the Bills and only bid on them because he wanted them to stay in Buffalo. The NFL is apparently smarter than the rest of America.

That is what I do.

I am seeing that ESPN Unlimited is part of the Youtube subscription, but somplace else I saw that you can watch MLB with youtube. I probably wont know until I try to watch a game.

Crap. Not sure what to do with my Roku/YouTube/MLB combo now. Baseball is getting harder to watch each year.

That debate is over. Harris found his balls last week and the team is all his now.

Trump is still MAD because the NFL wouldn't let him buy a team.

I didn't see anything controversial.

It's not the only factor, but I think it could have an influence. The reason they have that incentive is to encourage teams to promote players on opening day rather than wait a month into the season.

You have done it multiple times. I was just curious what it means.

Or maybe we will have competitive authoritarianism.

Why do you put ducks on every post now?

He was worth a draft pick. The draft pick they could potentially get for McGonigle winning would be a better draft pick (right after the first round) versus the one they just gave up (I think after the second round?). Harris won't bring him up if he's not ready, but if he is ready, I think he'd rather try for the draft pick than delay his service time.

No, That blog is horrible.

It is still used in fields like meteorology and aerospace, but languages like Python are now more typical for advanced mathematical computing. I have played around a little with Python and I like it.

I read "A Walk in the Park" after reading this post. It was really good.

I was trained as a statistician, but programming is where I earn most of my money. Programmers tend not to have much status, but most people are either not good at it or don't like it, so it has kept me employed. They'll try to replace me with AI some day, but I'm getting close enough to retirement, so it probably won't matter. Not many use it anymore but FORTRAN is still the best language I ever used. You could do almost anything mathematical with just 40 different commands and it was so logical. Some modern languages do some amazing things, but others seem unnecessarily complex.

I want to collapse and die on a run or hike when I'm in my 90s.

If McGonigle is ready, then that changes a lot of things. I am actually pretty optimistic that he'll hit his way on to the team in Spring training. I know that Harris would love for him to be ready on opening day because it could mean another draft pick.
