There may be something to this. It seems unlikely he lands on the Yankees because those players who are left are still sore at him from 2017. Some believe Houston cut ties with him for good but I think they might be the frontrunner to get him back, even if it's shorter length and much higher AAV. But if the unlikely happens and nobody else offers as much as 10/275, does he come back and ask for the offer again? And are the Tigers really up for committing $400+ million to just two guys after getting burned on so many other big deals lately?

@Archie? Do you agree?

Said who? Serious question.

I’m not clear on what the Tigers were trying to accomplish by offering 10/275 to Correa, since it was well established that his asking price was well into the threes.

Who ever said that the vaccines were the “end all”?

Why do you keep blaming the rest of us for “taking or limiting” your freedoms? Do you think we are the government?

RIP Joan Didion.

Rice did!

Taken any $15,000 vacations lately?

My real agenda is living my life where I want and not moving away because people I don’t respect tell me to.

No need, someone else has got you covered on that.

But what good is the extra longer life and healthy years if you're just going to endure them in a peaceful socialist hellhole?

Well, there are 332 million people in the United States and 73.5% of them are either white/non-Hispanic or African American, so, you do the math.

Wasn't ballmich a big fan of WND? I wonder how that guy is doing these days.

To me the biggest red flag about the whole thing is the neighborhood association people dodging questions from the media about the details of their plan. Strikes me as being on the same side of the line as Colonel Jessup blasting Lt Caffey for sleeping under the blanket of the very freedom that Jessup provides, and then questioning the manner in which he provides it.

Didn’t Rice also vote to impeach Trump? At least he’s still planning to face his district’s voters next year, so let’s see how this all plays in the sticks. Or is this the first volley of his retirement announcement?

I don’t know where this comes from, but of course I respect you. I thought we were breaking balls and having fun. But, OK, note taken. At no point did I say I don’t believe your anecdotes. In a big city with a lot of people densely packed in, individual violent incidents can occur even in safe neighborhoods where violent crime has dropped. But even if it’s the safest neighborhood in the city, if police still wanted to beef up their patrols there, I have no beef with that, because that’s the city’s prerogative. We pay them with our tax dollars and they are accountable to all of us. I simply don’t believe an unvetted private armed force should be hired by individuals who are unaccountable to the taxpayers and who make themselves unavailable to explain the details. I think that’s dangerous. YMMV.

The Bucktown neighborhood the association wants the unvetted and unaccountable group to come and patrol is literally one block north of that intersection. And how dare you capitalize buddha's name, you fascist. Well, good thing you don't live in Chicago,then!

but my buddy owns a bar, and i have anecdotes

From the article: Between the lines: Bucktown and neighboring Logan Square actually saw a decrease in violent crime. But that hasn't stopped the Bucktown neighborhood association from bringing in armed private security. https://www.axios.com/local/chicago/2021/12/20/chicago-violent-crime-gun-violence-statistics-2021

I'm old enough to remember being asked "and have you seen what's going on in lincoln park and lakeview?"

But my buddy has a bar ...

My memory of Jeff Larish is sitting in the first few rows of the south side ballpark when he lost the bat on a swing and it ended up the hands of the guy next to me. That’ll never happen again.

Maybe it all started on the coast, but it also definitely ended there by our getting swept in Seattle.
