  1. It makes sense. Trump thinks that Gabbard and Harris are pretty much the same since they are both women and both brunettes. So, that would take away any advantage that Harris might have.
  2. It's blacked out in the Boston area, so I can't watch. Dickerson and Dirks are the best though.
  3. Bobby Scales is gettng difficult to listen to.
  4. I believe something like 16 teams could draft the same player, so it probably didn't hurt the expensive players much. I think the more marginal players that only got drafted by a couple of teams were the ones who got screwed. It's the kind of thing that the current MLBPA would never go for.
  5. I thought Wilson and Johnson were both going to be good. I didn't really buy into the Laga hype! I was lukewarm about the trade. I liked Wilson and Wockenfuss, but I felt that another top reliever could really help them at that point. As is often the case with relievers, they caught lightning in a bottle as he never came close repeating his 84 season. I remember reading that they tried to sign a lefty reliever (Gary Lavelle I believe) after the season and that they were going to trade Hernandez for a starter. Instead, they traded Johnson for Terrell and kept Hernandez. They should have kept Johnson.
  6. It was a legitimate procedure. It always seemed kind of strange to me. Why not just lt every team go afer anyone they wanted? Of course, there was a money angle behind it.
  7. It may have have limited competiton for players. The players, of course, didn't like it because if a very small number of teams drafted them, they had very little leverage.
  8. They had a need for a corner infielder and he could still hit - 30 homers and a .378 OBP in 1983. It was considered a major signing at the time.
  9. It turned out that he was better in 85-87 than the year they won the World Series. The thing I remember most about that signing was being shocked that the cheap Tigers actually signed an expensive player. That was back in the period where they had a free agent "draft" in which teams selected the players with whom they wanted to negotiate. All the big money teams would draft Reggie Jackson, Rollie Fingers and Dave Winfield and the Tigers would draft Mick Kelleher. I was intrigued when the Tigers drafted Evans, but there were about 15 other teams that also drafted him and I never thought the Tigers would get him.
  10. yup! America loves a train wreck.
  11. All he has to do is tell his cult it will be a terrible interview and they will believe it without watching it. Fox News will air a 15 second clip where they take her out of context.
  12. He is surprisingly close. He is underrated because he was overshadowed by teammates like Whitaker, Trammell, Morris, Parrish. Or maybe you could say that they all overshadowed each other because they played together for a lot of years, none of them were superstars but all very good.
  13. The US Army and VFW are rigged by radical leftists. That is why you need to vote for Trump.
  14. I am pretty sure he thinks his supporters are the dumbest people ever.
  15. If he stopped saying stupid **** every time he talks, people might think he's not stupid.
  16. That was a sad, but beautiful article. A lot of what he's going through reminds me of my mom's final years.
  17. They can catch the Red Sox this week. Then they just need to catch one of their central brethren. It's not likely with their depleted staff, but doable.
  18. I think science involving variation between inividuals is never fully settled. There are always going to be pitchers who don't fit the norm.
  19. Yes, they have suggested caveats which make it reasonable in theory.
