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.

seems like a good name for a pitcher

Probably Chickahominy or Pamunkey Tribes...Chief Powhatan

Democrats are competitive in states they shouldn't be because of Schumer like Texas, Ohio, Iowa and Alaska. Trump got control of the party because of people like you who accepted the Nazi. Why are you not blaming the New England Dems like Sanders, Warren and Murphy who have all supported Platner? Trump captured the GOP because republicans capitulated like the New England Dems.

I don't think those were that similar. A 13 win difference for Meadows compared to a 26 win difference for Carp is pretty significant. They are still close to a .500 team without Meadows. They are close to a 100 loss team without Carp. They are 5 games under .500 in the 259 games Meadows has been out and 23 games under .500 in the 113 games Carpenter has been out.

When does the NHL’s transfer portal window open?

Platner is a symptom. A moribound party is the desease. It's exactly how Trump got control of the GOP in microcosm

I'm not the one trying to blame Schumer because Platner is a Nazi woman abuser. That's all you and frankly puzzling.

LOL - your're really reaching here not to hold incompetent pols as incompetent.

It's Schumer's fault Platner is a Nazi who abuses women. Blame the Jew.

Classic abuser mentality. Blame everyone else instead of the abuser.

Your home is on stolen land.

And all this stuff floating around and Mills still couldn't get off her ass and step up to run a viable candidacy? Railing about Platner accomplishes nothing - what are the Dems going to do the salvage the seat? Schumer can't get a pass on this. The Senate party leader runs a Democratic Senate campaign process - that's what party leadership is supposed to do, what they do do in parties that win elections. Mills can't get a pass on this because she had no business starting something she had no stomach to finish. She's the one that froze the field and Schumer believed her or didn't bother to pay attention to where she really was.

The problem is the control of the senate affects Michigan and control of the senate runs through Maine. I do think Dems have a path without Maine, but it's more difficult. National Dems are going to have to answer for Platner. You attack Paxton, what about Platner?

Did anybody here vote for him? This is an issue for Maine voters.

I find your apologetics for a ****ing Nazi and domestic abuser hard to understand. You're blaming it on the senator from New York. Mills wasn't the only Democrat running. No, candidates don't release their full oppo in a primary. Haley Stevens isn't releasing her full oppo on McMorrow or El-Sayed.

I’m afraid to look that up…

Wait a second. Canada paid for that bridge.
