  1. I guess he's saying "countless Blacks" are qualified to be US senators because of their accents?
  2. Every business building they are tearing down in the Big City here, they're replacing with "luxury" residential condos running in the mid- to high six figures and targeted to first-time buyers. This has been going on for years and many units built in the three-to-five-year-ago range still sit empty, along with practically 100% of their first-floor storefronts. I've long wondered whether there is more than just the hope of making a profit selling them that's motivating the feverish pace of building—specifically, whether local government grant money is factoring into guaranteed profits for builders.
  3. Oops ...
  4. Can a commercial spokesperson contracted by a company be held liable for the company’s malfeasance? They’re just hired hands, and not permanent employees.
  5. Imperfect, indeed.
  6. After two rings and two Cy Youngs, not to mention that they actually fixed him after we allowed him to break, I think the verdict is in.
  7. Yeah, I still think he's trying to destroy the company.
  8. Good thing we never had Bartolo Colon on the team, then ...
  9. I think this is pretty close to the truth, although I also wouldn't be surprised if he's a little shocked when he finds that some aspect of our system is even worse than he imagined it could be.
  10. Tucker the Garbage Pitcher is gone, too!
  11. Also, better and more versatile.
  12. Not a variety show bit, and Just Shoot me wasn't one of the best all-time sitcoms, but David Cross did a great turn on one episode as Slow Donnie, a guy who fell out of a tree when he was a kid and then faked having subsequent brain injury for the sympathy and easy living it afforded him.
  13. Not as much activity yesterday as I hoped to see, but it is still only mid-November. I will be a little gobsmacked if Harold Castro and Kody Clemens have a role on this team next year.
  14. Pulling up the ladder?
  15. I guess that’s one thing every conservative religion can agree on: god hates fags.
  16. Will Carroll called me stupid maybe 15 years ago for daring to suggest that teams manipulate their disabled lists to manage rosters.
  17. He’s a good guy, he helped me get a couple of articles published there.
  18. Mine doesn't email me, but the app does light up when the washer or dryer is done. Thanks, LG!
  19. Flip side: teams typically don't allow their best players to be exposed to the Rule 5 draft. There a lots of examples of good players chosen as a Rule 5 player, but for every one that turns out even as good as Baddoo (which ain't saying much at the moment), there are twenty who completely wash out. I just wouldn't want Harris to treat it like the numbers game Al Avila did.
  20. All sub-20%. That's great if they hit the ball hard, too. That's a key to a low K rate being a plus—if they're soft or even medium hitters, all they're doing is making outs in the field instead of the plate. Andre Lipcius also drew a metric ton of walks this year. Gotta like that!
  21. Because we wanna see a whole bunch of guys shit-canned! 😅 Looks like it might not happen all today. BTW I have no interest in taking a flyer on yet another Rule 5 guy, but hey, if Scott Harris sees someone good slipping under everyone else's radar, then great.
  22. Funkhouser and Diaz, I predicted on Page 1. Brendon Davis was a three-level hitting star in 2021 so I thought he might have been interesting enough to keep around and give him one last look. Guess not.
  23. Scott Harris acquiring a Devil He Knows Steele Walker, ex-Texas Ranger.
