  1. Capone went to jail. Trump will never go to jail and is viewed as a hero by a huge segment of Americans. He's a complete fraud, but here we are talking about him.
  2. It must be tough getting priority treatment your whole life and then learning that someone else is going to get something.
  3. Nothing that comes out of his mouth should be trusted and we should keep saying it. Even on rare occaions when he tells the truth, it is for self serving reasons. Every con artist has to to tell the truth once in a while. It's part of the con. He is the biggest con man in US history and the number of perople who have fallen for his act is stunning. His supporters and apologists should be reminded of that at every opportunity.
  4. So, that means you won't make excuses for him.
  5. I like it when a team has to decide what do with its poor fielding slugger. Do they put him in the field every day potentially hurting the pitcher or do they go with the weak fielding defensive specialist at times? I think that kind of roster management is interesting. I would be in favor of a limit on DH appearances.
  6. Javier Osorio has a good baseball face. https://www.mlb.com/news/tigers-2022-international-prospects
  7. If fans don't want to watch the pitcher bat, don't have him bat. Just have the other eight guys bat. Why do we need a bunch of old, fat and slow DH's? DHs are boring.
  8. I actually don't recall Trump's withholding approval of the vaccine. I am not doubting it as it fits in with all of his other self serving transgressions. I just don't remember it.
  9. I will never give Trump a pass for his immature self centered messaging during the pandemic. It is still hurting us today. I believe Biden's approach has been more reasonable, but it's still not working.
  10. Number of months of peak Covid: Biden 12 Trump 9 Massive nationwide shutdowns and social distancing Biden NO Trump YES I am not saying I was necessarily in favor of massive shutdowns, but I think they reduced the number of deaths while creating other problems that still exist. There was no good way to handle Covid. It is a huge pandemic and the biggest public health crisis of my lifetime. There was no way to avoid large numbers of deaths and suffering.
  11. Right, but more home runs over more runs. The 1930s era was the one that consistently produced the most runs, but I doubt they'd want to go back to that style of play.
  12. They get too much credit and too much blame especially for the economy over which I think they have very limited influence. They are kind of like baseball managers that way.
  13. Biden is just as responsible for inflation as Trump was for the high unemployment rate in 2020. These guys are like Gods. They control everything.
  14. I still follow him on facebook, twitter. He posts some good stuff. He's a talented writer.
  15. Fans of American League teams think pitchers batting is stupid. Fans of National League teams think the DH is stupid.
  16. LarryTheSequel used to be a poster here by the way. He was one of my favorites. I think he went by the name MrMalefic or something like that.
  17. That's the kind of thing Manfred would do and not undrerstand the significance of it. I don't like the DH rule, but having a universal DH makes sense with so much interleague play. There are legitimate advantages to having the DH rule.
  18. Networks that talk honestly about conservative issues are good. I wish there were more (any?) of them. We like to see dangerous extremist media based mostly on conspiracy theories get banned. When networks like that can't get a large enough audience to stay afloat, that says something good about America.
  19. We need Fox. What else are the retired MAGAs going to do?
  20. Pretty much everyone in my family got sick the last two weeks. Some tested positive and some didn't, but we all had the same symtoms - like a typical winter cold. Thankfully, the only ones who haven't gotten sick are my parents as even a cold would take a lot out of them.
  21. It seems like every few weeks, the Trump Foundation does something corrupt, it shows up in the back pages, nothing happens , nobody cares and we move on to something else.
  22. What do you think of Tucker Carlson? I honestly don't watch much of any of these people. I just see clips here and there and have impressions.
  23. I think people that are dumb enough to go to those people for serious medical advice are the biggest problem. Carlson, Hannity, Rogan are all using the public to make a buck and people fall for it There are a lot of stupid people in this country and that is hard to fix. Maddow presents her material in a more educated and nuanced way, but she is also just an entertainer trying to make a buck. We shouldn't go to her for news either.
