I’m distressed that Marcus Semien is no longer with the Texas Rangers, so I can’t make childish remarks about his name.

Jack gave up only one run in the inning so if he goes five innings and gives up only five runs and we get six runs we’ll win - that is if our relievers can hold the powerful, powerful Rangers offense to only five runs.

Jack gives up a lead off single so the tedium of worrying about a no-hitter is off the shelf at least, thank God. And Perez robs a home run from the next batter probably given that the fences have been lowered enough for that to become common place

oh, thank you, Wenceel.

Wow, the trimmed back, cut rate, Detroit Sportsnet pregame show even at home is only 10 minutes long. Meh, pregame shows are pretty much BS anyway.

The kid moved to a prime run producing spot in the lineup. Impressive. 😆

Cade's not getting 40+ unless Mosley is an idiot. They'll trap the ball and force him to give it up. Then they'll have one guy glued to Duncan and two more in the paint to take away the drive. They'll force Tobias, Jenkins, Lavert, and Green to hit shots on the road and live with the consequences. We can overcome that by winning the possession battle to get out in transition and get second chance points, but that would require JB to put in lineups that maximize disruption and he seems to prefer to go small and try to be a different team than we've been all year long.

I just watched the 9th inning of the Cubs win, at home. The Chicago Cubs have the very best post game celebration, after a win, of any team in baseball. All of that singing with peopke showing pure joy. Its just really great to see people so happy. The Cubbies are my 2nd favorite team...talk about loyal fans!!

I'm finding the EV is close to perfect as an around the town vehicle, but when we replace the other car it will likely be with a hybrid SUV that gives me a 48" wide floor that can carry larger cargo

I so loved Willie Horton that I named my tiger striped cat - who was allowed to be an outdoor cat because we were like that back then - and when I came home from school one day in probably 1965 I received the sad news that Willie had been hit by a car and had died because he was playing in the fall leaves on Jackson Street in Auburn Indiana. I was heartbroken.

We briefly looked at a plug-in hybrid the last go round. The combination of difference in price plus the cost to set up our garage to accommodate the electric side. Also the battery size took a significant bite out of the storage area of the SUV (Tuscon). That said, we're happy with getting about 45-50 mpg...

definitely a good time the have an EV. I just hope Tesla sales aren't recovering as a result...

I've been inside the Pine Bend refinery. Marathon also has a refinery north and across the river from Pine bend but it's maybe 1/2 the size or less.

I saw a AAA price map of Wisconsin yesterday, it was amusing how you could see the dividing line in terms of which counties get their gas from Chicagoland and which ones get their gas from Pine Bend (outside of St. Paul)

actually Whiting is also apparently in the middle of union lock-out. Management is trying to keep the plant running and that's usually a disaster waiting to happen. The bad part is that at this point this is hitting mostly areas that are mostly already trending blue. Some Whiting supply must also go to Ohio but I have no idea how much.

I’m a woke ****lib who drives an EV so have fun with your gas prices.

The BP Whiting Refinery (near Chicago in Indiana) suffered an unexpected outage Sunday night . It is the biggest refinery in the Midwest and it when goes down, it adds about $1 to prices throughout the region. Press reports say expect 2 weeks, but guaranteed nobody at the refinery would be telling the press the truth about anything at this point so that's just worthless speculation - timeframe could be anything. Insult to injury for the American driver.

Speaking of these guys

Kenny. 🤦🏻‍♂️

love it

One angle is just that, that the party rank and file are out of patience with the national party for setting them up with losers. And that is Platner's potential weakness - do the folks excited about Platner (and a lot clearly are) represent a winning voting coalition in the state or just themselves as the activist/progressive wing?

Yeah, Kenny inherited the two best players in the world. It is a failure that they did not win one together. One thing about Stevie is that i think if he had wanted to pull off the Hughes trade, with no extension or promise of extension in place, he could have. And the fans would have loved it and the press would have loved it and the players would have loved it. There are some out there on twitter and elsewhere who complain that Stevie didn’t have the guts to make the big trade. If anything, it probably took more guts not to make it. But he is a Red Wing for life and he absolutely will not make a move that he believes will make the team worse.
