The thing about the Paul Gosar video is that, if you're standard is "if I did this thing at work I'd be fired", well, it meets that standard. Meanwhile, in the great halls of our government, 47% of the House apparently thinks that's ok.

Overall I'm ok with the result here. I love JV, but he's still a risk and I don't blame the team for going with ERod as their established starter signing over the Verlander reunion. A team like the Astros, who have a 90-win pedigree, makes more sense to take that risk than the Tigers.

I would say consider the source, but it is his brother lol

Will Johnny Kane get an invite onto the SS Caesar?

The conventional wisdom (at least locally) is that Story is gonna be the prodigal son who returns home to DFW. I'll believe it when I see it though.... they have a lot of prospects in the pipeline, but the Rangers still don't seem like the most attractive destination spot, at least with the roster as currently built.

Oh no, anyway

Heyman seems like the Lynn Henning of Jeff Passans.... lol

I was in Illinois last week for family reasons (W/SW Burbs). People mostly still following indoors, but there were some places where enforcement of the mandate was pretty lax. (Which, honestly, not sure how necessary the mask mandate really is at this point, so 🤷‍♂️)

Including two E. Rodrigai

In terms of reclamation project, I'd like them to consider Michael Wacha perhaps....

Uhh, legit journalists probably shouldn't be doing this kinda smoke and mirrors stuff

Jon Heyman had a tweet earlier saying that the Jays were in hot pursuit of ERod's services but that he "opted for Detroit instead"... That was a nice change of pace lol

That strikes me as being... not bad, terms wise?

You mean to tell me that Lions football doesn't have you hanging off the edge of your seat? 🤣

To the extent they noticed it, it was because of how she said "the". Can't make it up. Its fair to question Kamala's ceiling, but the way the political media has covered her beat seems pretty shallow to me.

You know what they say... if you can't beat em, sign em lol

I'm sure all the Trump folks who were correctly disturbed by the Afghanistan bombing will join me in their concern here.

It's mostly supply chain. But yeah, it really doesn't matter in the end.

Any two of Gray, Rodriguez, JV, DeSclafani, or Steven Matz would be fantastic... although I'm prepared to be disappointed lol

Imagine getting this worked up over roads, bridges and broadband.

This isn't specific to Warren, but one thing I was frustrated with in general about the 2020 Dem Primaries is how much of the debate was spent talking about things that, politically, were not feasible. For instance, it seemed like practically every TV debate had 30 minutes on health care, with extensive discussions about Medicare for All which, frankly, would have never happened even had Warren or Sanders won the primary and general elections. Much discussion on immigration as well, including a lot of discussion about amnesty. Put another way, much of the discussion that was centered around stuff that would have never had the requisite support in the Legislative branch to pass anyway. I'm just trying to imagine the message that the average voter who watched the debate (or the two minute blurb the next morning on the local news) got out of that, and how beneficial it was. There's a lot of reasons why Biden ended up winning the primary, but one of the more underrated reasons IMO is, frankly, he came across a lot more realisitic about what could be accomplished when he was campaigning. And that means a lot to parts of the Democratic Party, particular with AA voters who are not predisposed to take flyers on risky candidates. In terms of your comments about how Warren should retailor herself, one of the lessons that needs to be taken after VA/NJ (frankly, overdue to be taken) is that it's not good enough to put out some good policy and just hope that people go onto the website.... they all need to be out campaigning on this stuff. And not just in the suburbs and urban areas, they need to get out into more hostile territory to try and persuade. There's this tendency in politics (on both sides) to just look at the color of the county and determine whether it's worth spending time in a place accordingly, but the Dem vote you win in a Huron County counts the same as one you win in Wayne County..... if you can decrease the margin you lose in red counties, you can win a lot more statewide elections that way than you do getting your doors blown in.
