It's not the speech, it's the law. You can't spread around foreign money without registering as a foreign agent and foreign money is about the only kind the law does say you can't spend on an US election - though there are even some loopholes there.

I suppose normalization of outright treason is the logical endpoint for the Trumplican program to normalize everything else that should be disqualifying.

well, you can say Hinch might have gotten Montero out of there with the lead, but the way Brieske and Miller pitched they should have given up runs there. Padres BP too much for the Tigers. The heavy LH lineup doesn't work against a lefty BP. Montero looks like he has some promise but of course he really should be at AAA learning to pitch inside and sequence

well the 1st GB was in the right direction for the Tigers.

didn't get the run in, Foley gives up two ground balls it's over.

Malloy is not a good matchup for this velo. Hope for a walk

terrible AB by Carpenter. Take middle-middle for strike one and then Ks out of the zone.

Vierling will be the runner - can't ask for better than that.

don't see a path to a win without using Vest for 2 here, but whatever... EDIT: my bad, I thought the guys in the booth said Foley was coming in.....

the buyout is $250K vs a $4.25M commitment. If the FO thinks they are picking up that option Ilitch needs to show someone the door.

Well someone on the Tigers is living right because you just saw two of the best outcomes from two of the worst relief pitching performance you may ever.

make that terribly consistent at being consistently terrible.

He really is pretty consistently terrible.

so the white flag is out there now?

then again, we see why he didn't want to go to the bullpen....

he's got a good fastball but no confidence yet to through it up and in, which is where he could have gotten Machado since he had him leaning out over the plate. He almost made the pitch he needed with the change-up in but missed.

you could see he was already struggling in the 4th. AJ got just a little bit greedy there.

trying to get Montero through this inning will have been a mistake.

That's exactly the kind lapse that led the Dems to force Biden out. He was 100% running against Biden in his mind there.

I think if it comes from a 30 ish with "'sup" it's probably just hello. It was already getting common with my kids' cohort. "Boss" does definitely depend on what comes with it and tone always matters, but I would say with "'sup" I'd just take it as generational patois.

For a society that is so sports crazy how can so many people, including so many players, have no understanding about how it works. It's very simple to explain: you root for YOUR team you root against the OTHER team No athlete - including Stafford, would appreciate playing in a city where the fans rooted for the players on the other team.

exactly. It's the fallacy of initiative. A responder will never stop anything from happening, only get there after it's started happening, maybe end it after damage is already done.

Water vapor is less dense than air, the density of air goes down as it gets more humid (and of course as it get warmer) and so the aerodynamic resistance also goes down. Humid air "feels heavy" but that's just a perceptual misdirection. However the larger effect is probably on the ball, and a damper ball is heavier and generally less elastic - so in desert climates the balls are now all stored in a humidor to keep them from drying out and getting too lively. If you assume the humidor is keeping the balls uniform (probably a lousy assumption!) then you can say more humidity in the air at the park helps the ball travel.

waiting for the Elon tweet that DOJ is suppressing free speech.
