  1. YMMV, but I am 100% in on Jason Benetti taking days off to call national games all he wants as long as Dan Dickerson covers him on TV.
  2. The way Javy catches routine fly balls, with his arm crooked, elbow parallel with tummy, ball caught at or below the shoulder—the same way he catches infield pops, by the way—I believe is the stylistic cousin of Willie Mays’s basket catch on routine flys.
  3. At one time, “goddamn” and “Hell” were one-two on the cussing Hit Parade, basically when my parents were kids and before that. When I was a kid, one-two was the f-word and the scat-word. These days, I would guess one-two are the n-bomb and the c-word, and nowadays, when people refer to the f-word, they frequently mean something else. As for what you wrote, as true as it is on its face, stripping out the knowledge of who wrote it, it does read like it does give him a pass for the lies he tells or outlandish things he promises, as though they are inconsequential and/or he doesn’t really know what he’s even saying, and mean nothing. Read it in someone else’s voice and you might get a feel for what I mean.
  4. What hath God wrought
  5. Who is on track to draw nearly 100 walks at this rate.
  6. Trump-appointed judge. Impressive.
  7. Right. She’ll come sprinting back to him after he crushes her on his social platform and she experiences a drop in revenue and gets a bazillion death threats, which, bonus, half of them will be lynch threats, because tradition from when America was great.
  8. I don’t believe that means we should give him a pass on stuff he says, oh, he’s just Trumping, ha ha ha, just ignore him. No. He should be held accountable for everything he says, if not to his cult, then to anyone else who voted for him this time around, or even seriously considered doing so. Don’t let him off the hook. He’s supposed to be the goddamn leader of the free world. Hold him to that standard.
  9. It seemed clear to me at the announcement that writers have differing criteria as to who they would vote for manager of the year, since if the main criterion is actually managing a team to perform way above its expectations, AJ would have been the slam dunk winner.
  10. Oh, yeah, I see the resemblance now.
  11. Maybe not even that many. Maybe barely 100. He is only 21 and still just a few years out of high school. I wonder what his load as an amateur was?
  12. Maybe they’ll wear the City Connects for the early game?
  13. Now you can look forward to the team kicking ass twice on Saturday!
  14. Who's laughing now?
  15. Only a smattering of Confederate state schools.
  16. The inflection point will be when the Republicans start using rhetoric and taking action that tell us they don't care about approval ratings anymore.
  17. I see nothing in the Democrats' rhetoric that leads me to believe they will crush the people with authoritarianism, although the Republicans will be glad to "remind" you it's exactly what Joe Biden did.
  18. He'll be named the head of the new Men and Women Must Get Married and Have Babies Department.
  19. I predicted for years he would campaign on reforming the judiciary. Turns out he didn't need to campaign on that after all.
  20. They're putting those aside for the citizen militias. The professionals will still wear camo and flak.
  21. Life of Brian Death of Stalin Groundhog Day Trading Places
  22. Julie Unruh is a well-known field reporter for the WGN TV in Chicago. Any relation?
  23. TBF that is what it looked like at the time.
  24. Whoa, sh*t—this is a very big domino.
  25. Mass protests probably will be a catalyst to change, but in the end, real power change in Washington would have to come through the political process, and in a two-party system in which one of the parties is completely in thrall to a foreign power, that leaves only the party that is not. Unless you mean a new political system ruled by mass protests of the people, which, who knows that would even work. I also agree a substantial event would have to trigger the mass protests, but I don't think we are all that far from seeing that.
