I think the campaign finance rules must make campaigning for the sake of campaigning too attractive.

Tork couldn't beat the Twins by himself today. Be easier if some of his teammates showed up to help.

what difference does it make that people didn't see it coming? In the end Trump still won the votes he needed and she didn't.

some days you get the bear, some days the bear gets you.

and he looks like he's been gaining the wrong kind of weight.

Yeah - it's not accurate to say the the party ever anointed Biden. He did take it by winning the votes, not the party pols. You can argue Hillary was a different story - the SuperDelegate setup was going to make it hard for anyone else even if she hadn't finally outrun Bernie in the primaries. To say she wasn't an inside choice because she won the primaries when no-one other than an outsider like Bernie was willing to run against her also misses the reality. And in 2024 was just a total screw up looked at in term of nominating process.

Need to get Riley going.

Tigers scored 4 runs, Spencer had two runs scored and 3 RBI. So basically Torkelson 5, Twins 0.

FIFY seriously - if they aren't going to send him down, they have to put him out there to play through it, you just wish it weren't with an inexperienced guy like Jobe where a screw-up might be more likely to rattle him.

He's not doing Jobe any favors today. Watch to see if Nido gets pitches called from the bench for Jobe. Malloy has been dropped in the order - not surprising.

You get a raspberry PI,and YOU get a raspberry PI, AND YOU GET A RASPBERRY PI! YAY! It's just unreal. The one industry the US probably does need to be stronger in he just punted on. And it just goes back to the utter futility of all this churning. No investor is going to put 2 cents at risk based on Trump sustaining any policy.

Have to agree with Dickerson that it was pretty unusual. Almost every Umpire at some point will call a ball or two a strike, but you don't often see one call that many strikes balls the way Fletcher was denying the inside edge against the LH hitters.

bottom half of the order with all the RBI.

Chafin worked in inning at Toledo - 3 base runners....but no runs.

raymond and larkin both have the same problem, whether they play together or separately, they don't have the guy on the ice with them they need, which is a bigger stronger, hard to play against guy to fight for pucks and offer some physical buffer for them. In the NHL every skill player needs his body man - nothing has changed on that score since Gretzky/Messier. And of all people Yzerman knows that from personal experience probably better than any GM in the league, has yet to do anything about it.
