I have no fear of the Knicks or the Sixers. Getting past Cleveland will be a much tougher challenge.

Sounds right up Weaver's alley. He wanted to draft Duren at #5.

Barack Obama once said "you didn't build that" and what he said was taken completely out of context. We had to have an entire election cycle's worth of TV ads bashing President Obama on his out of context statement and weeks worth of stories on Fox News about it. This was back in the 2012 election cycle, so in my libertarian days, I was probably one of the critics, criticizing Obama for it. Shame on me, I was wrong for it if I did it back then. But the amount of things that Donald Trump says on a daily basis, minute by minute, that would have torpedoed Obama's campaign is just insane. On gas prices alone over the last month, he's up to at minimum, half a dozen statements or so, that would have spelled disaster for Obama. It would have meant their campaign would be in damage control for multiple news cycles and we all collectively would have had to suffer through months worth of TV ads, digital ads, mail pieces attacking him on it. It is mind boggling how all in the name of "fairness", "bothsidseisms", and "revenue from ratings" we have to suffer through Trump saying these things while suffering minimal to no consequences as a result of what he said. It's frankly ****ing exhausting having to live through this blatantly obvious double standard.

Bat**** crazy

Seriously, though, how can this be real life?

Agree that the “dumpster diving” arms in the pen aren’t working—was reacting to your comment about the starters.

The last few losses are all from AAA arms that Hinch is forced to use. During Sunday's game, Jason mentioned the heavy use of the BP meant Skubal would have to go deep in his start. And yes, Madden did a fine job but it was the next AAA pitchers who lost the game for us. Hinch really is limited with what he can do. Young pitchers who are inconsistent will drive managers (and fans) crazy.

all the front office crap in Detroit, and now Alvarez out. hope its just dumb stuff, not bad stuff

Willie's amazing. Young folks and Old folks love him. Conservatives and Liberals. Country Fans, Rock Fans and even some Hip Hop fans. He's just kind of universal in a rare way. I think it's because he's genuine. He's not changing who he is to fit in.

Falling behind hitters forces him to groove fastball and hitters are mostly squaring him up. You're correct, his curve isn't landing for strikes. That makes him very hittable.

The Deuce still lingers

Posted this in the minor league thread too... Gabe Alvarez fired in Toledo for violating club policy

Gabe Alvarez fired in Toledo. Violation of club policy

They saw enough of Short coming up short last night.

Too soon?

Move over: Battle of 73 Eastings Ukraine's victory at Hostomel Airport Dien Bien Phu (for the North) The Destruction of Army Group Center (for the Soviets) The Battle of Leyte Gulf - in particular the Battle of Surigao Strait where the reservists defeated the cream of the Japanese battle line A personal favorite: General Grant at Vicksburg.

Word on the street is that he called McGonigle Magoo.

Help is coming

Uh-oh

His only path right now seems to be rigging elections

Holton/Madden literally put together 6 innings comparable to what Skubal would have yesterday. Montero has been consistently effective. I agree as it applies to the pen, but the only weak link in the rotation has been Flaherty.

Matt Stafford has made a lot of guys a lot of money.
