I generally let the team worry whether they want to deal with a prick. If it's OK with them, then it's OK with me. I just want talented players. There are some exceptions like wife beaters or child molestors, but Bauer doesn't fall in that category as far as I know.

The Clintons are not very likable, but both are smart. Actually, Bill apparently was likable since he won two elections, but he's one of these people that I knew was a sleazebag the first time I heard him talk, much like Trump.

Yup, we try to make things complicated but it's always about $$$. Always. The media makes big money when Trump is in the news. In fact, they are going to do everything they can to keep him in the news all next year running up to the election. They'll boost him up too necause they need him to survive. And the more his name stays out there, the more legitimate he seems.

Leflore was one of my all-time favorite players. Great story and an exciting player.

Where did people read that he didn't want to play in post-season games? He has pitched for 6 teams that made post-season and one of them even won the post-season tournament in 2018.

It seems like it's gotten to the point where people throw out their own theories about why he did this or that and then we start talking about them as if they are true.

I'd rather they be good for many years than one and done. However, they have had only one stretch over the last 40 year where they were successful for a long period of time. I also don't know that the Rangers will be one and done.

He seems universally loved on Twitter. Not seeing anything negative which is rare.

I think his bat is good enough to stick at every day DH, but Canha's ability to play the field somewha tprobably works better for Harris and Hinch.

I know Benetti is a great story. I have no idea whether or not he's a good broadcaster. I did just see a clip of him sounding intelligent and thoughtful which you wouldn't get from any of their other TV crew.

I would have said yes to JD before they got Canha, but he no longer fits.

If they could get him for one of those expensive one-year deals, then sure.

As usual, people are talkng about a numerical error instead of his sick twisted logic that a psychopath who shows that he's the boss is a smart person.

MAGA wants insanity, but good luck to them.

They still haven't gotten over the loss of Hinch.

Trump is not popular, but neither is Biden. And I can rehash any debate I please!

But if they don't pay attention to currents events, they probably don't realize how bad he is.

I was talking to my physical therapist today and the subject of election year came up. I mentioned that it appears like we will get the same two candidates as last time. She asked: "Biden and who else?" She assumed that Trump had been convicted and wouldn't qualify. There are a LOT of people like that out there who just don't care about politics or follow it much. Probably at good third of the population. Many of these people will be voting. How do you reach them?

Yes, There are many liberals who fear what climate change will do to the earth as much as some people fear the end of democracy. I mean, our democracy won't matter at all if the earth is destroyed. So, if someone feels this way, why should they vote for Biden who they think has done virtually nothing on the climate change issue? We say that MAGAs are living in the 1950s. The kids probably think we are living in the 80s.

What if a right winger dislikes Trump and hates Biden even more and votes third party for a Libertarian. Is that the same as a vote for Trump?

But Trump is going to destroy the constitution and change all our laws. He is going to be king of the world!!! This is not a theory. It is inevitable. Life as we know it is going to be over.

I agree that the real owners of this country - the wealthy and powerful - will not allow it to be burned down. I also don't think they want all the marginalized groups you mentioned to be destroyed either. It would not be out of compassion of course. They want to be able to sell products to as many people as possible though. They'll allow these groups to have just enough so that they remain profitable assets. There will of course be hardships for many as more conservative laws are passed, but we won't lose our democracy. They will still have a vote where they can bring more liberal people back into power.

Ibanez has a lifetime OPS+ of 96 which is passable for a starting second baseman if he can maintain it. It's hard to evaluate his defense because he hasn't had a regular position, but he seems not to be a liability. I hope they explore an infield upgrade though.

When he does talk about policy, It's just one liners and demagoguery. It may be effective with his audience, but I don't know if I would call it "talking about policy".

There will be no substance. He's going to be the same shallow dickbag has been for 45 years. Why are you analyzing him like he's a normal person?
