That's what they have been saying all these years, anyway. Now I think they might be waiting for this particular government to deputize them.

I'm pretty sure the only people who have claimed that federal agents are being doxxed are ICE officials, and seeing as they are a party in interest in the matter, I'd like to see corroboration of their claim from an independent source. I am not asking for links or evidence in this case, just saying I have never seen any claim of this that did not come directly from ICE.

It's not our homework. It is your responsibility as the claimant to provide evidence of your claim. We don't need you to drop your squirrels and do provide us your link right away, but you do have to do it if you want us to believe your claim. take your time, we'll still be here. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

As the person making the claim, you are responsible for providing evidence for it. Will you be providing evidence for your claim?

Yes, you went straight to the Trump playbook: no links. No evidence of any kind. Just allegations. So are you copping to that? Or will you be providing a link after all to back up your claim?

If Montreal is considered too poor for a big league franchise, then no way is Mexico City coming in, The travel would be at least as difficult as it is for Seattle, and with an elevation way higher than even Denver, either there would either be a 70-home-run hitter there every year, or the entire team would bat .320. Just try getting any free agent pitcher to sign up to play there. And players would get nose bleeds all game long. Besides, that's a soccer town, not a baseball town. If you really want a Mexican city to have a big league, go with Monterrey, which is still too poor for an MLB franchise, but at least is richer than Mexico City, the elevation is tolerable, and it's a baseball town to boot.

Until you provide links, we can only conclude you're just making this all up

The whole idea is to create paper fraud and prevent electronic accountability.

and i hate the idea of democrats continuing to unilaterally disarm while republicans undertake blatant election frauding but hey whatre ya gonna do

The easy math is: 163 minus (leading teams wins plus trailing team’s losses).

There will probably be packages promoted for certain markets for when the team playing near there is in Vegas, but for the most part, It won’t be really be about who’s playing. It’ll be about the in-game sportsbook experience. Plus there will probably be a couple of huge casinos attached to the stadium, anyway, so anyone who gets bored or doesn’t like baseball can do something else. And with the stadium on the strip, people don’t even have to stay for the entire game. They can leave after the second inning if they want. The baseball won’t really be the point.

I think it’s more likely we use Melton as the second pitcher in an opener situation, if not in a spot start.

I’m watching the game on MLB.tv and I have seen the same spot at least six times inviting me to use Booking.com to book a hotel package so I can go to Chicago to see the Tigers take on the White Sox in their Rivalry Series earlier this week.

I was just coming back in to reconsider the Melton thing. I’m now thinking it’ll be Hanifee and/or Montero.

What Cas said. The game is basically cooked, so we might as well let Padack empty his tank before we bring in, I assume, Troy Melton to bring us home.

Note to A.J.: don’t pitch Chris Paddack against the team he came from where everybody knows his tendencies.

Whether they keep him around for the next six weeks or send him back down for a spell and bring him back up, Sweeney will get a chance to come back next year.

I’m starting the blame the stupid light blue glove.

I think it was a brain cramp.

Dumb-dumb McStinky play to not flip to Sweeney for the front end of a double play.

I’d forgotten how good Corey Koskie was around the most recent turn of the century. Had a six-win season and a couple of four-pluses back-to-back-to-back. Never made an All-Star team, though.

Or George Brett.

Totally agree. Drafting an All-Star in the 19th round is not a genius drafting jiu-jitsu move. It’s luck when an organization gets a guy who slipped through five hundred and fifty-some draft picks and who showed way more during the development process not only than the guys chose above him did, but also, more than literally any of the 30 major league organizations, including your own, did.

Sweeney was sent down to Toledo precisely because he wasn’t delivering to the capability of an adequate major league shortstop. That’s doing something, not nothing. Or perhaps you mean ****canning Sweeney? Harris hasn’t ****canned Sweeney yet so Harris hasn’t done anything about him? Personally, I think that is too high a standard for doing “anything”. Sweeney is only 25, he has a first-round pedigree, he has shown occasional flashes of hitting prowess, and he is still glove-positive. That’s still worthy of our time to try to develop, especially since Bryce Rainer is won’t be ready to step in anytime before late 2027, at least. In the meantime, we need to have someone we can hope to put there for a couple more years, unless you want us to subsist on a diet of part-time Baez and part-time McKinstry, with a dash of Ibanez at short, the whole time. Or are you talking about signing a high-priced shortstop long-term, or trading from the top of the farm system for one, and then figure out the good problem of what to do with Bryce Rainer when he gets here? Because I think that’s too high a bar for doing ”anything” as well. We are still running away with our division even with Sweeney at short part of the time. I think we have a bit more time to figure out whether we can still get a couple years of adequacy from him before we have to cut bait on him.

This is in large part why I don’t give Al Avila nearly as much credit for our current state of success as I do Scott Harris.
