he's proven himself as a swing-and-miss reliever

How about closer ?

Monkeytargets nailed it.

2 walks and zero strikeouts for Rainer is very nice to see.

I’d never heard that song before, thank you! When it started I found it pretty generic and formulaic (which is how I view 99% of the genre). Then the line about his mama and the train hit and I audibly laughed! I also realized that this was original from back in the day which helped create the genre and had been copied 1000s of times since - so hat tip to the originator. I view it the same way that I view people who fawn over “Pet Sounds”: I guess you had to be there to appreciate the groundbreaking nature.

I’m not 100% opposed to trying Jake Rogers at SS. He’s absolutely gritty enough.

Shots fired, 1970s and 80s prolific scriptwriter lies in the alley.

4 dimensional chess and so forth.

Especially since his state had the highest gas increases in the country.

”I forbear to say anything of New York, for I confess I am not able to form any opinion of them…I think they are at least as unenlightened in the Nature & Importance of our political Disputes as any one of the united Colonies.” 2/2

Ukraine is winning if we have the sense to get rid of Trump.

It's probably too much to ask but similar to the clip of Kaitlin Collins yesterday asking Trump whether he really believed the BS that he was saying about the definition of "86"ing.... folks interviewing these subjects really need to start mixing in more contempt in their responses to these sorts of answers. If for nothing else to match the contempt that these interview subjects show in putting out such transparently horse**** answers.

True. And these are reactions fans can have...dismay that they didnt bring in just the right player(s) at the trade deadline that turned them into championship favorites, at some undisclosed cost. And total negativity that there's no way they can ever win (dont forget people saying we would go winless when Cade was injured). Or we could stay positive, forget the stats and reality and just enjoy a professional basketball team that only 2 season ago won only 14 games. At that time, I would gladly have been happy with a 60 win season and being down 3-2 in the first round. I guess I just prefer to stay positive, until the games start. Then I have my typical negative knee-jerk reactions. 😅😅 If the Pistons somehow win Friday night, all the pressure will be on Orlando for a game 7 in Detroit.

I wonder whether the 100 million rank and file red hats are falling in line with this rhetorical strategy? @Tigeraholic1? Any insight from on the ground there?

This guy.

Plan B, since the Plan A of merely telling the press that Ukraine has already lost the war hasn't seemed to work.

Does that mean we go in and start bombing Pakistan?

Regarding shortstop, McKinstry may be available as soon as this weekend. They may be waiting for him, rather than making a SS roster move.

Riley, Tork, Torres already playing every day. So is Kevin, he was splitting SS with Javy when he was available. Kevin at third with Javy at SS and Wenceel in center with Javy SS. I don't think you and A.J. are that far off.

Tim Scott also appears to be hitting the crack pipe this morning

Get back on that horse.

There's a new generation of Outlaws that in my opinion align with the originals in that they reject and don't go along with mainstream country. Their music has been highlighted in this thread by others. Sturgill, Isbell, etc The Ken Burns doc did a great job showing how the Outlaw movement grew. Willie wasn't having success in Nashville, went to Texas, basically created Austin City Limits. There he found himself playing in places that included college students, bikers, rednecks... they all got along. He told Waylon and Merle to get down there. Then Cash followed.

Tigers - don't look now, but Craig Kimbrel might be available. - Over The Hill - Was a great closer 10 years ago Sounds like a perfect fit ! LET'S MAKE THIS WORK

It rhetoric a la Neil Simon. Through the pasta at the wall and take whatever sticks.
