yeah, it was put out the U community with a survey for comments. I wrote back that I think the prohibition as written is actually over broad.

If Cade wanted to stay in Det, you'd think he'd have already put a line in the sand to Gores that the current coach and FO go or he's out at this first opportunity. if he hasn't done that, then it's hard to conclude other than that it's because he's decided Gores isn't worth bothering with and he's bailing as soon as he can, like accepting a QO to guarantee his exit.

So much worse. Pistons had a winning record in 4 of 6 of Hill's seasons. Cade has yet see his team sniff .300 let alone 500

Forgot about SGL! Was at the Hens game the night he tossed that huge number of K's. Fun game. Flores' recovered velo has no doubt made the org do a 180 on him - understandably!

could it just be that if they leave him starting, he throws more innings and his command will develop faster than if they immediately move him to a reliever's work load? I guess it's a chicken and egg argument, but so many successful relievers did a lot of starting in the minors or even in the majors before converting.

It was the Steelers that drafted Antwaan Randle El to be a receiver as well.

Morans! If it hadn't hit the bridge at the point to collapse it, it wouldn't have hit it at all. The only parts of the bridge in the water where the ship is are the points that hold it up. D'OH!

Manning, Flores, Montero, Hurter, Sammons? Have no idea what they think Sammons' value is but I'd guess one of those guys will be out of that rotation soon enough that Madden can be promoted.

Who hits more at Toledo: Malloy or Bigbie?

Yeah - I got that, but I was thinking about the tweet's original premise. Should have replied on the earlier post to make that clear but I was lazy....😉

I don't know why it not believable that the rallies are costing too much or alternatively, are no longer profitable; from what I've read he's not drawing crowds like he used to and if those still coming out are the hard core, they've already bought all the promotional schlock before they got to the rally.

pretty bad though the edit on cost is probably incorrect. The issue of total money (i.e. cost to the government) and cost borne by individuals are two separate questions so if that is where Trump was going, which I would find credible, the syntax is not redundant, only badly executed.

I have a recollection that somewhere I've read that was was actually a construction mistake. That the towers for the scoreboard were not located correctly but that it was too late to fix by the time it was recognized -- but I can't find a reference - so maybe just urban myth.

yes but the more optimistic Dems, based at least in part on GOP special election weakness, had entertained hope of holding the House, and as you note, I suppose they might have if they had been a little more conscientious. I know the GOP talked about Red Wave based on conventional mid-term result histories, but I'm not sure anyone outside the GOP echo chamber thought that was a serious possibility coming off Trump - did they?

He seems to be OK athletically but it's like he just doesn't see/think the game very well. You are spot on - Petry doesn't have the speed to recover when he takes does take a chance so can get badly out of position. So most of the time he plays soft, which is a problem in itself across the Wings D. They do not pressure the puck nearly hard enough as a team. So he plays back, and is sound, in the sense of doing the right conservative thing, but then he doesn't win enough battles at the boards or net. I'm not sure how much good it does to be in the right place if you don't change the outcome.

it's weird to see LA and SD with two games played before opening day. And Yamamoto got hammered in one. 😱

Wont argue any of this. I was just struck that the context of the tweet implied that the IVF decision was driving high voter engagement, but how true can that be when you had a pretty apathetic turnout in total? So drove enough to affect an election where there was general apathy. Is that enough to make the difference in a general election? Hope so. No question though that pretty much nothing in any of the special elections since 2020 has carried good news for the GOP. OTOH, 2022 wasn't the win for the Dems some had thought possible either. That base of people who just show up in generals and reflexively vote GOP remains a tough nut to crack.

Gaza isn't even a really a left right issue. You have Putinistas on the right who are anti Israel, you have Evangelicals that are fervently pro Israel. The left is similarly split between SJW folks who see Israel through the lens of being an occupying power, and democracy liberals who see Israel as an outpost of western liberal political organization (at least generally) in a mostly autocratic ME. Yeah - so nobody speak for anyone but themselves on this one.

Certainly a good result. Then again, I don't know how big Al districts are, but you don't want to get tooo too far over your skis about an election that only totaled 6000 voters.

as a practical matter, the one thing that could be done to at least help insure against this particular kind of accident would be to require that a tug (or two?) stay on escort with any ship above a certain tonnage until it clears the last harbor bridge. The operators would scream about the expense, but if you are going to run huge ships with single point of failure engines the only ultimate safety is to have another engine with relevant power out there with them.

This ship was Singapore registered, which is supposedly one of the better countries in terms of maritime standards. I don't know that kind of propulsion this ship had, but many similar container ships use a single massive low speed diesel engine - up to 14 cylinders so huge a person could easily stand inside one.

My marker is when the team is good enough that Veleno and Petry can't make the roster.

too many differences between the bridges and the sites to even start listing them.

Baez with 4 K in his last 27 ST AB.

they are just not there yet. Two centers and 2 Dmen - maybe one of the later if Edvinsson sticks.
