I was thinking of ha-ha'ing this for the joke Seth Abramson made, but thought the better of it. The chances that any of us die as a direct result of something this regime will have done by the time it's all over is increasing by the day.

True, although they don't think any of this is crime.

It’s funny because it’s horrifyingly plausible.

It’s all working according to plan

I didn’t think it provided much incentive, since when the game comes down to brass tacks late, the guys that are in the game are the secondary All-Stars and the mandatories.

Padres DFA'd him. Phillies did in March.😉

The thing that made the MLB All-Star Game so good in its time was, it was the only one where the players played hard to win.

Which, not for nothing, Baseball promotes.

I like doing both although Hall of fame is usually a more robust conversation

Also, Trump knows exactly what he's doing here.

Never mind this, what about keeping the UFC Octagon on the White House lawn permanently!

The food we eat, the air we breathe ...

It’s fair to wonder whether the machinery that can be used to stop the landslide here would be more sophisticated and effective. Only one way we’ll find out, I guess: live through it.

If by “worse” you mean better, then I think both are equally worse.

I’m with you, I would rather the better guys on my team rest up for four days and heal the little owies and see the wife and kids and get their head straight for the second half, and I think more guys in the past couple decades have been doing exactly that, leading to a replacement using the best available guy not good enough to make the team first time around, and that’s just one of the reasons the All-Star Game doesn’t mean anything near what it used to.

This president can’t engineer the gerrymandering of the Senate, so they will have to resort to some combination of suppressing turnout beforehand and limiting access on-site.

So you’re saying Trump is basically President Andrew Dice Clay?

That was 18 years and two general managers ago. My topline observation is that they have a different approach to it now.

Glad you could see it.

Yeah, like I already said, I ****ed up.

Thirty percent of the country can never, ever get tired of it. They are motivated by something you and I can never understand. The danger is that the malevolent force favored by this minority have their finger on the trigger right now. Managing to get out of that without disaster ensuing must be our primary directive.

But the reflecting pool is so big! So much bigger than shehsh kesh tischhh

They’ll probably start with Quintero as the headliner since he’s in A.

Right, as well as his Athletic columns. I’m not sure those guys are as journalistic even-handed as they purport to be. I know Heyman and Sherman definitely are not, but then they’re New York beat guys masquerading as national baseball journalists anyway.
