They wanted both SVG's and Monty Williams' heads pretty badly, and they were right!

the only question is how bad can it get before it has to start getting better?

This is the crap that frosts me. We let them operate dirty because they pay everyone off out of current profits, then walk away, off load the depleted asset into an empty shell, declare bankruptcy and leave the public holding the bill for the cleanup. Americans have been suckers for big oil from the word go.

and the 'new' Lightening is still going to be semi electric. It sounds like it's going to have an IC powered generator that can be run either coupled or uncoupled from the drive train. It the sane way to get extended range in place of over a ton of battery. I never thought the battery size designed for the Lightening made any sense. The energy penalty for carrying all that weight around all the time when you seldom needed it makes little sense.

but did they replay the last 10 seconds 3 times like in the movie?

optics, photo-ops. Don't expect it to make sense. It just some donors with gulf coast operations getting paid off.

Granted, from year to year you never know what guys with thin resumes *might* do, but from almost any angle, Jones gives you a better probability of value than Malloy. Malloy did improve his OBP in 25 over 24, but it came with the nearly complete disappearance of power. No question the crazy high MiLB walk rate made Malloy intriguing enough to take a look at, but MLB pitchers are going to make you hit your way on so there was no chance that was going to hold, and there was not enough behind his OPS once the walk rate came down to earth. If he can turn it around for Tampa good on him. Teams with enough talent to be pushing the 90 win and up level should have less room on their rosters for project players.

I would think autonomy over his staff choices becomes a matter of principle with any experienced head coach.

you know the other difference here? Tim Walz is taking the fall for what went wrong on his watch. When was the last time Trump or any of his people took responsibility for anything they ****ed up?

LOL - I looked at this pick and thought "Buium is supposed to be bigger than the guy in this pic!" Then realized he was probably standing next to Cossa.

hard to see how they keep him and Jones, and Jones had hit better, can play the field, and runs better. You keep JHM on the hope he hasn't hit his ceiling but the Tigers no longer have the luxury to do that to the degree Tamps does.

You don't mind as much if a guy shows up, proves he isn't ready, but shows you flashes of what he can be (e.g.ASP). Didn't see much of that either.

JHM could have had a good career as an umpire. He can see pitches, he just can't hit them. Jahmai Jones's spot got a little safer.

Santana was 21, Micheal Shrieve was 20. 🤯

LOL had to check this one out, esp since Eau Claire is so close to Minneapolis I was wondering if the StarTrib was all that was left.... So in Eau Claire with have the Leader Telegram, (circ 14K!) and LaCrosse we have the La Crosse Tribune (circ 19K) and they aren't even owned by the same conglomerate.

More evidence of how little these Bible thumpers like Alito - and Esp Scalia in his day, actually pay attention to what it says:

I've always wondered about the Hendrix performance at Woodstock. Did Hendrix ever say why he decided to play it? Had he ever played it before to end a concert? (etc..) It was apparently a spur of the moment decision.

I wonder if that means Leonard is going to get his 10th game ( and thus the rest of the season). I imagine ASP would be next if they thought they could decide who would be better.

maybe he should just pull a McConnell and not hold an election. Let the GOP sue and work its way through the courts, maybe till about Nov.

Clearly, we need more Brewer Hicklen

You'd be up 17% on a passive buy and hold of an S&P index fund, so 25% doesn't represent that much investing navvy. If you'd just taken a flier on Intel or weighted Nvidia you could have beaten 25% The inverse Cramer is good to see though.

Don't disagree when it comes to pitching, just because so many get hurt, please just don't give me a front office that takes the same approach with hitters - you can collect all the MiLB hitters you want and they are just as likely to all fail - quality only with hitters please!

I skipped through this one a bit on the DVR, a couple of things that stood out: It was Larkin that completely lost his man on one of the OTT goals. I don't know if he was cheating up ice thinking the Wings were about to regain possession or what, but a bad play from a guy that knows better. ASP continues to struggle with the 'defense' part of being a defenseman. Maybe if he comes back next season 15-20lb heavier? Gibson was the best player on the ice. I'm sure today it's the Ottawa fans looking at this game with a sigh and saying it was one of those games where they won the game on the ice but got stoned by the goalie.

do you suppose they still have a local paper in Eau Claire or LaCrosse?

probably because too many Americans have bought more house than they could afford and commute an hour to work in a vehicle that can pull 6 snowmobiles but gets 12mph.
