so depressing GQP can collectively get together to share this racist fake story about immigrants, and it appears it will only help them. sigh.

vs LHP Rogers was a real weapon last year; tanked this year Baez had a 830 OPS his first year - he has cratered Tork is actually the same 830 OPS Malloy SSS is doing well Veirling (like Canha and Kelly) has no strong splits need to find some RH power for next year obvi

Harris has added 2 SPs each winter, so IMO he does so again; 1 established guy, 1 fixer-upper. But, he must get a power reliever (or 2). Top 13 batters w/no changes: Rogers/Dingler, Tork, Keith, Sweeney/Baez, Jung/Ibanez, Greene/Meadows/Carpenter, Vierling, Malloy. Shopping list/areas to improve 1B - replace Tork, or have someone who can slide to 1B if he flops again SS - need to find someone better than Kreidler if you want to replace Baez 3B - Jung's approach is solid, but 0 HRs and iffy D so far DH - Malloy is crushing LHP but probably not enough to offset defensive limitations C Walker, W Adames, A Bregman, M Chapman, T O'Neill, A Santander are FAs who would provide real impact. Christian Encarnacion-Strand (1B/3B/DH) and Oswald Peraza (SS) are some trade targets IMO.

he really wanted 300 wins; he would be the last pitcher ever to do it; but would need to stick around for 3 more years with 13 wins/season at this point, pitching in age 42-43-44 seasons; father time is undefeated

someone above wrote, "We aren't gonna make it." are we getting dumber as a country? seems that way.

they all seemed really pissed off, and it showed in OT

I could be wrong, but a **** Cheney endorsement is probably net neutral, but could be a small net negative. Suspect that Harris will not tout this at all.

A Skubal start, where they eventually got 6 runs, and actually scored vs Miller - and they lose??? !@#$%^&*()!

some on line have written, this kid never had a chance idiot father buys a 13 year old an AR15 for Christmas after talking to FBI about threats appears he may have been abandoned by his mom, who took her other 2 kids and left him with his dad; that will screw up anyone Crumbley was asking for therapy; maybe he was too maybe they can share a cell?

as long as they suspend for the Super Bowl, I'm fine with how they are handling it

reposting this regarding other shoes dropping

Little Marco has had Trump's hand up his ass so many times working him like a puppet, he no longer needs any lube. Miserable is 100%. Like a whore who cannot believe what has become of his life.

Podcaster Rafael Cruz, who is sometimes a US Senator, is probably furiously sucking on the Russian teat as well.

looks like Antifa to me

what a great job Mark Kotsay has done, to not just keep this team afloat, but surging

I always think of this meme when they start winning. It's so true.

Trump is struggling to read a dumbed down speech on a teleprompter. Here's why that's bad news for Harris.

relatedly. corporate media is not going to change, no matter how loud people yell

i cannot see them spending 45-50M at one position - that's almost half the payroll

harris didn't make an offer. there's no need to go down this road again, but I'll say, quite confidently, that Chapman would have signed with the Tigers if Harris offered 7/169.

I won't use "perfect" but he would have been a great fit; a two-way player on a team that has very few two-way players, at a position of need. SFG are paying 18M for 5 WAR, so a great bargain - at least this year. hard to see a position player free agent this winter who fits as cleanly as Chapman would have. and there's no need to say no if Harris never makes an offer

I prefer playing the not good teams

not only KC, but Twins, Red Sox and Ms also lost. need 2 non-Skubal west coast wins. maybe Darvish is rusty tonite? no; playoff odds up to 9%, but still just 9%
