I would 100% take that risk. There is almost no chance he gets an offer on the open market.

I'd rather have Montero starting than Valdez, but that's not gonna happen.

Certainly not with Cleveland on the program next.

re: Fetterman: One of the last posts on LiberalPatriot -- about Qinnipiac polling on Fetterman. https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/john-fetterman-and-the-new-era-of Then, on the death of TLP https://artofassociation.substack.com/p/the-strange-death-of-the-liberal The line in the 2nd that rang the bell to me was this one: For either party - eke out one house of Congress or the Presidency every other cycle, continual split government gridlock. It's why too many people in the middle aren't caring that Trump is willing to break everything.

His cutter looked sharp today. If 2024 Holton is in there we should try to find him.

I think the knockout round is going to be weird. I think people are underestimating the added variance of adding a round of 32 and how that will even the playing field a bit. The World Cup champion is going to have to win five knockout games. And there are going to be some “matchups of death” in the rounds of 32 and 16. I think if you make it to the round of 8, you may find that the field is weaker than years past. You never know. You might get Loyola in the final four.

Yes -to some extent there is a critical mass effect as team OBP/OPS go up, not only from pitcher fatigue but just from the increased probability of getting multiple men on base or a man into scoring position in any inning - and that would apply to all hitters that "lengthened: the lineup -i.e. were significantly more productive than the guy they bump out of the bottom of the order.

Fetterman also was a progressive populist. Platner as recently as 2020 voted for Collins. I don’t think he will switch parties but he is definitely a wild card.

Yesterday he bothsides'd the Epstein files.

he may end up universally hated by his own party like Ted Cruz, but the one thing I don't get any sense of is that he's GOP mole. His current progressive postures may be a politics of convenience to get elected, but the risk of him joining the GOP seems small - he's not holding out any olive branches to Trumpers - he's savaging Trump in his campaign. And apart from that, changing parties in this environment doesn't make it easier to get re-elected like it might have in the 70's - it just makes both sides hate you.

Throwing out election results and installing somoene isnt tyranny when MB supports it

I think San Antonio is about to play a road elimination game in their own building.

I think NY would have swept Detroit. Same with the Spurs and Thunder. 5 games tops for all three of those teams.

Remember when this time of year brought thoughts of the Freedom Festival and cross-border goodwill? That seems like a very, very long time ago.

They would be clobbered by the Knicks. It took a miracle to survive the Orlando fn Magic

Legit question. Is this something the DNC is involved with or is it theMaine Democratic Party?

Flaherty for this game, then Skubal, then TBD.

It's more comparable to Ralph Kramden's pledge to go to the moon.

In 30 years one of these coins will end up on an episode of Pawn Stars and the coin expert will tell them their coin is worth $12 when the proud owner thought it would be six figures.

We, as Democrats, do not have to accept Platner as the nominee. Dems have shown they are very skilled at overturning the results of a primary. I have already emailed Slotkin and Peters about Platner. Just waiting on George Clooney to weigh in. Dems can also support a write in campaign for Costello. There is also a path to a majority in the senate without Maine. I think even if Platner wins, Dems will need a buffer as he has never shown previously to be a progressive.

Canada should close the Ambassador Bridge or completely slow it down that it chokes everyone that uses it.
