Down by 24, win by 14. That’s the kind of game seen as a watershed by championship teams.

Ah phooey

Do red hats really believe passing a cognitive test apparently designed to diagnose senility is a major flex?

Holy crap, nice snag by Kevin. He used every inch of his 5’10” to get to that.

Twenty-three percent of Democrats think so is itself concerning. That number should be single digits in a normal year.

Man, Tyler Alexander is getting away by the skin of his teeth so far.

Man, even McGonigle’s outs look really good.

I just went back to the radio overlay and somehow the separation between video and audio is even worse than early in the game. Ah well, good thing there are no basketball players in the booth.

I know we still got the out, but man, what a bad look for Flaherty to drop that ball. It makes it look like he just doesn’t give a **** anymore.

I would rather suffer the two-second separation between the video and the audio on radio overlay than have to listen to two innings of chatting up some basketball player in the booth.

I think he'd rather have a pliant Republican Congressional majority than a noisy oppositional Democratic majority, especially if they keep impeachment on the table for the ensuing two years. BTW, I do think within the range of outcomes is that Democrats take the House and Senate and, assuming they get seated, by the time the 2028 election is nigh, bring enough Republican senators on board for a successful impeachment of Trump. By that time they will have drained as much money as they're gonna get out of a Trump regime anyway, and they will finally be legitimately fatigued by the constant mayhem, so that might be the time they will want to flush MAGA control of the part ydown the toilet, especially to save their own electoral chances. It might even be the surprise October Surprise.

Typical MAGA musclehead bully move.

I hadn't been thinking this would happen, but the deeper this civic war of mid-decade redistricting gets, the more likely Trump declares some sort of national emergency pertaining specifically to Democrats engaging in gerrymandering to criminal levels, or something along those lines. After all, how on-brand it would be for him to demand the arrest and detention of Democrat lawmakers for doing the very same things Republicans are doing, even in forced retaliation?

This is like asking a bear to de-escalate wanting to eat you in the woods. At the risk of yet again being accused of hailing Trump as an evil genius, I'm pretty sure he is accomplishing pretty much what we wants to, which is making a lot of money for himself and his allies from the chaos and disorder, and he's enjoying the results so far. I think we're well beyond seriously ascribing to him any statesman-like intentions such as seeking to contain global conflict.

😕 Why are you glad I don't vote in Maine?

True, but we are a unique bunch. Or do you mean everyone on the planet?

Love me some Willie. Get your mind out of the gutter.

Trevor Bauer is probably well embedded onto the spectrum, just not in a charming way. His parental upbringing probably has something to do with it, too. In any event, this is his life so it’s his burden to deal with.

Not surprising since before the Braves, the Reds and Cardinals had basically the whole south carved up between them.

Do we really expect this Platner fella to caucus with Dems and champion progressive policies, or even center left positions? I don’t.

They’re supposed to be good on camera as mouthpieces for the regime, but not so smart that they have their own ideas about how things should be done.

The Tigers were one Kenley away from taking the series.

They don’t hold a candle to Harriet or Edna.

Why would Hinch check how long ago it’s been?

Man, Finnegan just can’t throw strikes reliably, and when he’s missing, he’s missing by a lot.
