Yes, it’s stupid, but there’s an actual reason Trump is doing this: he is resetting his supporters’ expectations of what should be considered election interference or fraud. Ten years ago no one would have thought an edited interview could ever be considered so. Now tens of millions of people will think so. Trump is rewiring America’s brain, and he’s getting help from experts who’ve done it to entire nations before us. We are becoming Eastern Europe.

I know many people married anywhere from 20+ to 60+ years who are in dysfunctional marriages. People who love Hitler and Trump are not normal people, and they were not born loving them.They were taught by dysfunctional people while in dysfunctional circumstances and they are passing that on to younger generations in their own dysfunctional circumstances as well. You can’t make them sound normal.

There’s too much money in Tampa for them to leave, even if it can never be a baseball town, but if there were ever an excuse to bail on a town, this is it.

Because of their dysfunctional situations?

The same tired old playbook.

Nobody but the mopes thought that.

Yes, and more to the point, they will use it as evidence in their blizzard of lawsuits to get the election overthrown. I think maybe that’s what the rallies at Coachella and MSG are about: look at all the Trump people in these states and we’re losing them? How is that even possible? Sure, this will fail over and over and Trump will lose almost all of these lawsuits, but all he needs is at least one to break through and make it to SCOTUS. It’s a numbers game, sort of like conception—just need one to get through.

Maybe it just goes to demonstrate how tens of millions of people grew up with and continue to live in dysfunctional circumstances at home and at work, people who routinely develop and maintain toxic relationships, at which point someone like Donald Trump is actually what a strong leader looks like to them. More people may be coming to that point of view in this kind of honest way than we realize.

Especially if the Dissenting Wife Effect is real.

Eastern Europe is a hard place for someone to live and be cool.

Well, we already dinged the big four Guards relievers Smith, Herron, Gaddis and Clase for five hits and two runs in five innings on Thursday. Getting another look at them on Saturday probably won’t hurt as much as help.

I’ve gotten tickets to Game 3 of the ALCS. It will be a Skubal game. I will post pics.

I was afraid Saturday Night was going to get **** reviews, but they turned out to be at least halfway decent. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/saturday_night_2024

My buddy and I are going to a play tomorrow at 200pm, something we booked in August. I was thrilled when the game was announced for 708pm Central. Now, this, because of course this. 😩 So I will miss the end of the game. Here’s hoping we’re blowing them off the field by the time 200pm rolls around.

Flip side point: we're also getting good multiple looks at their relievers, because they're running the same four leverage guys out there game after game. Should work both ways.

Holy ****, that ****'s on the level, isn't it?

Win or lose, there's nothing like the night before a three-day weekend, is there?

Nobody did, but you could hardly dream up a better scenario than the presumptive Cy Young winner on the line for you.

Michigan has enough Garys already.

There si the possibility of 269-269, although not likely.

In preparation for another Jan 6-level event?

Skubal would be available in a World Series Game 7, for sure. Everybody would be.

Jackson Jobe up in the pen. At this point, game in hand, down a run, sure, why not

Carpenter not in the game is gonna hurt
