And herrrre coooomes the lawfare.

Hopefully.

I think the Epstein thing is far worse for Trump than people believe, and that's even after people have already baked in the idea that he is a serial sexual abuser of minors.

You’d’ve thought we’d learned our lesson with Bobby Higginson, but nooooooooo …

So has Hurter; Vest has been mostly decent despite a few high profile bad outings; and De Jesus is getting crushed by BABIP and LOB bad luck. His stuff is not getting hard and his cutter is bleeding value. Once the luck turns to normal and he gets his cutter back on board, I think we’ll probably be happy with him.

That’s going to be one of the things about the salary cap: if a team’s at the cap and a guy gets hurt, as Skubal just did, they would have no room to maneuver. Same goes for the trade deadline. Capped teams would be stuck, unless they develop some formula to assign cap space value to minor leaguers, maybe based on Pipeline ranks or something. Seems like that kind of thing would have to be baked into a CBA if they wanted to allow a majors-for-minors deadline trade under a cap regime.

Throwing Framber out of the game for hitting one guy is ****ing horse****.

I don’t think we’re getting our $115 million worth out of Framber today.

Anti-Bert attained, and then some.

The game sure is finding McStinkface so far, isn’t it?

It's the trick they learned from their Russian benefactors, something that was new to America: just train a fire hose of craziness, corruption, and distraction toward the American public, and the critics will be dancing around so much trying to respond coherently to all of it that they won't be able to keep any of it in the news for more than a single cycle. No other president had the fire hose, so none of the other ones could ever get away with anything remotely close to this.

"Small price to pay", says the guy who never has to buy any gas.

We would hear even more "but land CAN vote!" statements! What If The US Had The Canadian Electoral System (~100k per district) The map above shows what the US House would look like if it had 100k people per district vs the over 750k people per district today. Overall, you’d have a house with 3,350 members, which in this map would mean 1692 Democrats and 1658 Republicans. INSETS (if you have a hard time) Alaska: Anchorage inset; Hawaii: Honolulu/Oahu inset (easy enough, but I put them here on a technicality) LEFT, Third row: Los Angeles/San Diego; San Francisco Bay Area; Seattle/Puget Sound; Portland, OR; Minneapolis RIGHT New York City Second row: Philadelphia (and Trenton, NJ), Boston Third row: Atlanta, Hampton Roads, Washington DC/Baltimore Fourth row: Miami, Chicago/Milwaukee, (top) Tampa Bay, (bottom) Orlando BOTTOM ROW: Sacramento; Las Vegas; Phoenix; Denver; El Paso; San Antonio/Austin; Dallas/Fort Worth; Houston; St. Louis; Detroit; Cleveland; Columbus, OH; Pittsburgh

U.S. Counties With A Life Expectancy Above 80 Years Only six states have zero counties (or parishes) that qualify.

Their parents could not be prouder that President Trump is teaching their children about real life, I would imagine the mental gymnastics they engage in to be.

I still haven't quite figured out what he is trying to accomplish by constantly making the most outrageous braggadocio claims possible. I think it might be related to the overall distraction strategy, so that we end up talking as much or more about the style of his brags versus the actual gravely important substance of topics he's bragging on. It's a way to mask the abject awfulness of the things he is doing, because it puts less pressure on him to defend the actual substance of his actions (beyond "you're a terrible person for asking me that"). I acknowledge that some will counter that Trump has a brain equivalent to a drain fly so he's not simply capable of conceiving or carrying out strategy or tactics, and that everything he does is statistically random and incapable of direction.

Already at $7.09 for premium here in Big Shoulders.

We never know how any particular prospect is going to do in any particular system until we actually see them go there. Certain types of hitters thrive in certain systems and get ruined in others. Focusing on proper development is just as important for an organization as scouting talent. Amateur players are never finished products when they first get drafted or signed.

Oh, great, now they pull the tarp on the field.

There must be cameras that are inoperable since there’s only one camera following the ball after it’s hit.

More cardboard cutouts, please!

I'll say he comes back after the break for a little extra caution.

Yes, I acknowledge that, although there are some folks who insist Harris Hinch love the chaos, and utility above stability.

I have been assured repeatedly that Harris Hinch prefers pitching chaos, as well as a roster of nothing but utility players, because they think it highlights their contrarian genius or something

Two questions: Who is **** is Magoo? What is with the sad-looking emoji and what's coming out of his mouth? Is that a flex of some kind?
