What’s the context? Like what do you think it means going forward? I’m ignorant to this stuff but I saw it mentioned elsewhere too.

I can’t keep any of them straight. Aren’t there 3 guys name Evan?

You think Stephen Miller will wake up and change his mind because of elections? Who do you think is going to stop them? How does a rescue of our nation play out if it happens thru normal political channels? I don’t see any endgame where these folks are held responsible either politically, electorally, or even criminally.

We are at the point where the politics do not matter. They aren’t doing this because they think they were told to by voters. It’s because they can. That was the goal. Just get in and Johnson and the Senate will let us steamroll. The voters are irrelevant now. We are comparing rugby to US football. They aren’t polling this ****.

But what good does “being underwater” do for the people being hauled away or shot? This isn’t going away. A bad outing on meet the press by a cabinet member isn’t going to turn the tide. Nobody is going to stop this until he’s dead or removed from office and the latter will never happen. This isn’t about political capital. Conventional norms are out the window. Polling and editorials and podcasts will not do anything to resolve this. Traditional political analysis and history are irrelevant now.

Yep. The “back to back” He was **** in 1992 and didn’t pitch in ‘93.

When I saw that I asked myself “why is someone filming the counter at Delta right before the car comes in?”

2nd amendment masturbators sure have been quiet.

OMG. He’s going out to die? Praise Jesus

He came very close to signing with Atlanta one year. When Lajoie was there. Supposedly they had a press conference planned. Then he’d have been given the Terry Pendleton treatment and made to be the reason they won. His calming and veteran presence would have been hailed.

I wonder if that includes his wife and kids. I mean... the current ones. I'm sure he'll dump her in a few years.

I honestly don't think those reasons are valid. He was only on one ballot by the writers and if a lot of the knew ahead of time that would be their only chance to vote for him they would have given him a vote just to keep him on. They have this hangup about not voting for too many people and there were a lot of players on that ballot. The various veterans committees responsible for him since then should know better. That's why they exist. To correct BBWAA mistakes of the kind you list. But I think those committees are too small now. Only 16 members. It should be more like 30 and they should have a serious discussion among themselves. I understand the fallacy of "well if this guy is in, then that guy should be in..." because logically there's always going to be a "worst player" in the HOF. But he wouldn't even be in the lower half of 2B if he were in.

Where was Alomar?

Nice to see you post TTF. It's been a long time, eh?

We watched Sinners last weekend, my son had been bugging me all year to see it. I haven't thought about a movie this much in a very long time. So many layers to it. I've watched it again and might go see it in theaters this week with a friend as they re-released it. I don't know if it will win best picture but it's the movie from this year they'll still be talking about in 20 years.

They want a fundamentalist evangelical theocracy. That means the presbyterians, the lutherans, the methodists, and yes the catholics will all be targeted because those aren't the right kind of Christians. They want Iran. These Christian Nationalists are no different than the extreme Islamic states who use their religion to squash women and dissent.

That's exactly what this is. That's why they're sending back 5 year old kids who are here going through the process and are not criminals. Then they'll eventually get to US citizens. The goal is all the brown and black people. These ****ers are white supremacists and want a white country. Their voters and supporters are either racists too, extremely dumb, extremely naive, or extremely greedy to where none of that matters as long as their 401(K) grows. There's no justification or way around it.

How brain dead and immoral to you have to be in order to still support republicans.

Anne Frank was a fugitive from justice

nazis gonna nazi

Morris is in the HOF because of game 7 in '91 where, if Lonnie Smith doesn't make a base running error, he probably loses the game... and he was fortunate to have been born in the right year where he was able to get most of his wins in the 1980's, instead of, say 1977-1986. That way "winningest pitcher of the 80's" can be said about him. I fully understand the reasons you laid out, that's been said numerous times by many people, and I'm saying that's bull**** and not a valid scorecard of who should be in the HOF. The voters aren't doing their job correctly by leaving Lou out when others are in.
