Yup. Still waiting for the Secret Service dudes to go under oath to refute Hutchison's testimony. I was told they were prepared. Remember all the breathless media coverage that was spread to undo the impact of her testimony based on the fact that "they were prepared to go under oath"? Was of course all BS to soften the blow of her testimony, and of course the MSM ate it hook line and sinker. I've also noticed the past week, instead of being laser focused on the crimes DT likely commited, a lot of the media narrative is how "Republican lawmakers demand the DOJ explain the raid". Who the F cares what Republican lawmaker demand? Why is that even a concern worth mentioning, never mind a headline on CNN?

Next thing you know the Trumpublicans will be resurrecting Tommy Flanagan as their spokesperson

Trevor Thompson says Skubal is currently in LA getting a second opinion on his elbow no word yet on the results but I'm guessing it's going to be either amputation or something so rare the experimental surgery gets named after Skubal.

Ok, lets go

There needs to be serious jail time for this, and any lawyer affiliated with this needs to be forever disbarred.

Chisox series in a nutshell.

I am the worst nightmare of a Tiger fan. I am beyond pissed off. 5th stage of Grief. Acceptance. I haven't watched even a few minutes of a Tiger game since maybe July 7th or 8th. I haven't even watched Highlights. I simply don't care anymore. I won't waste my time on it. Why bother? Worse than a die hard fan's anger is a die hard fans apathy. I was hate-watching them for a while, now they don't make s speck of difference in my life and my life is just fine. Don't want 'em, Don't need 'em. I'll be a sucker again in February, but not this year. Only thing that matters to me now is that they don't stop at just Al Avila.

Detroit Tigers (43-73) at Cleveland Guardians (61-53)

Is that bad? /s

from cory's athletic podcast: tigers are still way behind other clubs in modern development programs and are still a disorganized mess at a lot of levels. aj hinch is the least of the tigers' issues and isnt going anywhere. not sure if that's just a reporter pumping up people who give him access or not, but he's around the team and seems like a pretty good reporter.

Does Theodore have one. With Trump in charge of the party, one can't be certain.

just made me laugh a bit, that's all...

Apparently in the senate you're allowed to talk about a colleagues genitalia with no recourse. I'm 10000% sure most companies wouldn't tolerate that. So again, us randos are held to higher standards than the most deliberative body in the world. What a joke.

One he got one from the vacuum cleaner guy.

Why would someone have two current passports? Unless one is under an assumed name, which is considered illegal. Is John Barron currently a CIA operative?

Am I the only one that wish he could still flee the country?

The starters played 8 snaps, both starting LB'ers didn't play at all, and it was the first game in the new defense. They are going to be bad, but they will be better than what we saw Friday night. I think they need to add a big body at DT to replace Penisini. A few individuals on this defense they are counting on worry me though. Barnes still looks like Jarrod Davis 2.0. Missing tackles, overrunning plays and failing to recognize what is going on until it is too late. Brockers is not helping at all. I do not believe i have seen him make a play since he got here. Levi is having back problems, again. That is a bad sign since that is what was supposedly what held him back last year.

The Saul version of Gene is now on the run after Marion turned him in. No doubt that he long ago prepared a plan for just this situation where he quickly needs to disappear. I think most of the episode will focus just on him trying to work his plan to avoid capture and possibly even trying to fake his own death. No clue how it turns out and what happens but I’m damn excited to see.

I just looked up Buck Farmer and he still sucks.

So... McLeod was Jared Porter's boss and had a falling out with the Cubs around the time that went down. I have a strong feeling they get a Player Dev whiz and not somebody from the scouting ranks. I also have a strong feeling it is somebody with Dodgers ties.

Isn't Reyes about due to hit his 10/5 rights? He is the Buck Farmer of position players.

I'm not sure how much a manager can have an impact on 4. Obviously if they aren't careful with rest and days off and such, they can burn players up. I'm not sure how much Hinch/Fetter have to do with the pitching injuries that we've seen. It could be a very flukey situation. It could have something to do with workload (game prep counts here also). It could have something to do with conditioning (not sure what the training staff reporting structure is with respect to the coaching staff). I would be interested to know how that works.

Imagine arguing "oh it's cool, he unilaterally declassified the nations secrets before he took them" and thinking you crush it

We're on the same page. I really like the idea of bringing in Wilmer Flores. Professional hitter who is versatile and plays all over the diamond. Who knows, maybe he has a close relationship with his brother and would like to play behind him one day lol

Hey

cabrera's not playing so why watch? /ducks

Lots of disappointment. The last 3 weekends I have gone to Huron Valley's Human Society (because almost all the others are only open while I am working). I saw a dog the last two weekends that I liked but she had an Adoption Pending on her cage. Then I went today and none of the dogs seemed to be a fit. When I was leaving I went to ask them at the counter about a dog and that same girl was hanging out with them. The Adoption fell through, so I put a hold on her. She is waiting for medical clearance and her name is Lucy. She was found as a stray but obviously belonged to someone because she is house trained and very VERY good with people. She is a "Florida Cur". This is not her, but she looks a lot like this. Wish me luck, she might be the one.

Bob Odenkirk has played 3 separate people in this series brilliantly, especially this season. He deserves awards for this season.

in a league with james harden and kevin durant and draymond greene and patrick beverly and ben simmons and lebron james and steve kerr, it's really hard to stand out on the unlikeable scale...but gosh darnit if kyrie doesnt give them all a run for their money.

they score 0 runs and almost get no hit and your focus is on whether your dh can beat out a grounder to end the game?

Tell ya what, Devin Gardner is really good at this. He may be working on Sundays in the near future.

Undrafted free agent and one of the best baseball stories of the 70s.
