They did learn after his first term. That's why Biden got so many votes in 2020. Americans have short attention spans.

It doesn't matter anymore who they voted for in 2016 or 2024. It matters who they vote for in 2026 and 2028.

That's exactly who I want to see at these protests.

I did not go to the No Kings protest in my town, although I went to one last year (my first ever protest). I drove through the area earlier and it looked liked they were getting ready for a big crowd. There was a large police presence getting ready, although I doubt they needed it. Last year there was one guy with with a pick up Truck and a Trump 2028 flag driving around trying to stir up trouble, but nobody took the bait.

Those are names that you use for your friends/teammates. These guys are not our friends. Universal nicknames that fans use are different.

So many positive things happening this year already. Two great wins.

The Dingler throw was flukey. Carpenter is not a good fielder.

This is one of the only self aware things Truimp has ever said:

How about just call him McGonigle? If he develops a nickname naturally, that's fine. No forced nicknames.

They also led the majors in OOB (outs on the bases). They were good overall, but they didn't have a historic baserunning season like a lot of people keep saying. Aggressiveness is good, but it comes with a cost.

I bought everything he said at the time. I think I fnally figured out it was BS when he said the same stuff about Lovullo.

Yeah, it's been fun, but he just wants to declare victory and then move onto his next drama. He has no long term plan for anything.

I remember that one. The Tigers got off to a strong start the first week and I was thinking: "This is going to be just like 1984". What a disappointment that turned out to be. The best one that I don't remember was Billy Bean: 4 hits, including 2 doubles just like McGonigle. I remember him doing well initially, but I don't specifically remember that game.

I am not expecting much from him given his age and MLB track record. Any success he has will be considered a bonus.

I hope he's more like McCovey than the others! I didn't know Billy Bean had 4 hits in his debut. I don't remember it being a huge deal at the time. He wasn't a big prospect like McGonigle, so the anticipation was not there I guess.

There is no turning back for me. I dumped two ugly satellite dishes over the past two years. If I shift back to something convenient, it will be cable. By the way, speaking of baseball on tv/radio, what kind of satellite radio set up do you have? If I get it again, I want something as simple as possible.

It's more expensive, but a lot easier. It wasn't seamless for me for various reasons, but much better that my roku/youtube combo. I had the combo last year too and it's hit or miss. Sometimes, the voice control gets me there fast. Other times, I go in circles.

Despite all my bitching about modern TV, I appreciate what an amazing opening day that was. Historic game for McGonigle, 2 hits and a home run for Dingler, 2 hits for Keith, 6 SHO innings for Skubal. You can not ask for much more than that.

That is exactly why it's so absurd. We have all this technology which allows us to watch so many games, but they've made it so hard to use.

I remember when I was a kid - I could just press a button amd the game was on. Boy, that was something! No passwords or voice prompts or overlays or replays. Just press a button and start watching! Those were the days.

It took me 25 minutes. They won't do anything for the rest of the game now. Sorry. I hope mlb remembers my password.

Sounds like a good game though!

I spent the five minutes trying find the telecast and then log-in. So far no luck. Modern TV sucks.
