Stroke incoming in 3..2..1..

They want to be able to bomb people indiscriminately and just have it be normal everyday business, NBD. Calling it a "war" makes it a big hairy deal and, more importantly, constitutionally involves Congress, which the White House wants nothing to do with.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” —Frank Wilhoit

The Cubs have already had a ten-game winning streak and they're in the middle of a nine-game streak now. They are 7-12 outside those streaks.

Doesn't mean it's wrong. I also don't see the business advantage of outrageously lying about it. What's in it for Boras to do so? Skubal gets back when he gets back whether it's four weeks, eight weeks, twelve weeks, or 2027.

It’s surprising there is a fertilizer shortage with all the bull **** this regime produces

I think this makes following the game as a sort of athletic ballet more enjoyable, since every play is a move that makes up the entire dance, and whether your team or the other team is making that great play, you can appreciate and enjoy it either way as part of the greater performance. That doesn't mean you can't be disappointed if your team loses—after all, you do have an established preference—but it's better if it's just a momentary bummer you're over as soon as you leave the ballpark than if you're stewing on the injustice of it all for the whole next day or even longer.

Schedule should come out next week. Here's a prediction: 1. vs. Chicago Bears 2. @ Atlanta Falcons 3. @ Green Bay Packers (Sunday Night Football) 4. vs. New York Giants 5. vs. New York Jets (Monday Night Football) 6. @ Miami Dolphins 7. @ Arizona Cardinals 8. @ Carolina Panthers (Thursday Night Football) 9. BYE 10. vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (in Munich, Germany) 11. vs. Tennessee Titans 12. @ Minnesota Vikings 13. vs. New England Patriots (Thanksgiving) 14. @ Buffalo Bills (Monday Night Football) 15. vs. Minnesota Vikings 16. vs. New Orleans Saints 17. @ Chicago Bears (Sunday Night Football) 18. vs. Green Bay Packers

Its all a joke to these clowns.

It's not necessarily required that you follow in that way every game of a bad team's season, but only that, when you do commit to watching a game, treat it as an important discrete event in that moment, versus ruing that it means nothing in the big picture. Keeping that in mind helps me enjoy the game in those circumstances.

Just looked it up. This isn't the first flag we've had, this was was adopted in 1911. Wiki is showing there have been three serious attempts to change the flag and the leading reason is they feel its overly complex and needs to be modernized. Bieda (D), Schroeder (R), and currently Skaggs (D) are the ones that have tried to set up bills to explore a new flag.

this is perfect picture from 1962 (except is was yesterday)

This should be grounds for impeachment. No discussion.

This is what happens when people don’t vote for Hillary Clinton.

this is now fully baked into just about every level of government and also into most people's personal morality: Democrats must always follow the rules (of law, of decorum, of tradition, of stare decisis) MAGA cannot be held to any standard (we will do what we want, whenever we want, don't even question us)

Heyman is a Boras shill.

Not really. It could all be true and he could still be out 2-3 months.

I suspect they will go BPA, but would not be shocked to see a pitcher here.

Wake me up when he starts to “long toss”

Seems to fit the profile - solid bat to ball skills with questionable power - sounds similar to Yost and even McGonigle (not saying his bat to ball is anywhere close to McGonigle)

BURN THIS MUTHA DOWN

A bit disheartening but not unexpected. The way the state constitution is written negates any effort to copy the true gerrymandering of MAGA states

Maybe this is wrong but the comfort I take in the team not playing great is that most of my baseball fan experience is at the games themselves. I don't like empty stadiums but packed stadiums annoy me. I enjoy being at the ballpark. My seats are easy to get to. The bathroom is 30 feet away. I can see the entire field. I'm outside. It's great. When the team is in contention the stress level goes up because I actually care if they win or lose.

Silva and Mattison both hit hard.
