Woke ass Bud Light on display at The White House for Trump's 250% Inflationfest celebration.

did they laugh him out of the room? im sure its babcock related. that said, edmonton probably asked if he wanted a paycut, that would make it easier to trade you. and lets just hope detroit wasnt on that list.

the #2 pick in the draft, not a second round pick. you will go way out of your way to criticize steve yzerman. lol.

hey, it never hurts to ask... but realistically, you would have to include edvinsson for any deal for the #2 pick. the #2 pick is a cost controlled, below market conteact for a number of years for a player who should have a longer career than debrincat has left. debrincat is a scoring winger. a small one. and he is at the end of jis prime. you dont give up a potential franchise player for a small, scoring winger.

I love how Trump Taco's... Iran KNOWS Trump Taco's... And then plays him like a fiddle. TACO. ALL HAIL President TACO!

If Platner craters and loses, there will be plenty of blame to go around - no doubt. Maybe even if he wins and then it goes badly.

Massive screen at the Vancouver Fan Zone. It is at least twice as big as the one in my living room.

Yes and against RH, Carp is one of the biggest threats and affects opposing managers decisions in reliever usage more than any of our other players.

I don't think it's all about "who" but more about how many. How many threats does an opposing pitcher need to navigate?

I’m just saying a lot off the offseason I see talk about moving on from Carpenter and our team over the past 2.4 years has been 25-26 wins better/162 with him in the lineup compared to him out.

🙏

Harris gives the fans what they want. Be careful what you wish for.

Yes you do have to look at it, but the larger sample of 2.4 years helps correlate it. This year Carp and Torres went out and came back about the same time. That was the only difference between the team from May to June and our offense got back to where it was when they were healthy in March/April.

And this not completely unlike the jealousy at the heart of Russian grievance at Europe, and Ukraine in particular. It's a very curious parallel. I can't speak for other cohorts, but among the old MAGA (and that is a lot of them) the boomer gen, it is exactly still the squares against the cool kids 55 yrs later.

I said like you, not you or anyone here for that matter.

Yeah, this stuff is way over my pay grade…

but what are the co-correlates? Who else was in/out of the line-up at the same time as Carpenter, what teams were we playing ( over/under 500), etc. It's an interesting set of co-incidences, but it runs into a wall of logical reality when you realize that it is effect arguing Carpenter is a 30 WAR player - and somehow Ohtani got his money! 😉

I saw this in a social media post. I don't know anything about Mike Nellis, the guy it was attributed to, but it is really nail on the head accurate. “There is a jealousy at the heart of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement that I find endlessly fascinating. More than anything else, they crave cultural relevance. They want to be seen as cool, influential, and admired in the broader culture, but the conservative movement in this country simply doesn’t have that kind of juice …. Yesterday, Trump went to the NBA Finals to see the Knicks. … There he was, sitting behind layers of security and glass, eating French fries and pretending to be part of a culture that has never really embraced him. When cameras showed him, he got booed. … “It wasn’t that long ago that Barack and Michelle Obama showed up at the NBA All-Star Game and received overwhelming applause. And that’s the kind of thing that drives Trump absolutely crazy. He wants that admiration. He wants people to genuinely love him the way they love figures who have earned public respect. But the difference is that admiration for Trump has to be manufactured. … He gets it in controlled environments where criticism is unwelcome. But when he enters spaces that aren’t built around him, reality tends to intrude. That’s why the boos bother him so much. … “The same thing is true of the broader MAGA movement. They’re constantly fighting culture wars because they’re obsessed with cultural relevance. They’re angry about movies, television shows, athletes, celebrities, corporations, and social media trends. They’re perpetually upset that the culture keeps moving in directions they don’t like. … They’re trying to force cultural influence into existence, and it isn’t happening …. “But influence doesn’t work that way. People gravitate toward ideas, movements, artists, and leaders who create something compelling. What strikes me about MAGA is how little it actually creates. … Instead, the movement is largely built around grievance, nostalgia, and resentment. … And that’s why so much of it feels hollow. … That’s why Trump getting booed at a major sporting event matters more than many of his supporters would like to admit. It represents the gap between how he sees himself and how much of the public sees him.”

oh lord MB, get of your horse. Nobody here has done one thing to help or hurt Platner one way or the other. Unless someone here sent a campaign contribution we are completely immaterial to the situation.

At this point in history I'd be surprised if you can any people anywhere living on land that at some point didn't have someone else on it - it's only a matter of far back you want to go. Move is what HomoSapiens does.

Since it says he's out of options, I wonder which of Jones/Perez/Short this means the end of. No help with the bat, but sounds like a good OF/PR option which is more than Jones has been.
