His biggest issue was really not being knowledgeable about baseball. It showed in the way he passed along incredibly mundane stats as super interesting. Maybe that is on the production staff for giving him those mundane stats in the first place. It will be interesting now that two of the best in the business are in that chair this year.

He didn’t do it! okay, he did it, but you can’t indict him! okay you can indict him, but you need to answer all these delaying tactics okay, we’re down to saying the timing and degree of friendship on the prosecution team matters. —— GUILTY

I'd add that it is borderline pathological that literally any negative observation about Trump or his campaign is met with "but 2016" Yes, he can still win. But FFS, it's 2024. Not everything needs to be qualified or compared to 2016.

Hammer blow. MAGA will still flagellate themselves over Trump... But anyone with an ounce of INTEGRITY needs to jump ship (looking at you right-leaning Indies, moderate Republicans, etc., etc....) Of course, Trump is even now putting in place his plan to suck the RNC dry of funds and deposit them into his own personal finances (or judgements against him...).

Just the 1st two. And speaking of WAY over the top... If you like that type of stuff... Deadpool 1 & 2 will knock you on your keister...

"The Heisman Trophy...that is something that no one can ever take away from you. Unless you kill your wife and the waiter, in which case all bets are off"

could be related to Tucker's visit as well. "westerners, do you think this is a step to some normalization? Hell no. Just watch me now." or possible Putin just stubbed his toe and decided to kill Navalny today. what a POS:

Nice area.

best shape of his life Has anyone yet said "It just feels different this year..... I can't explain it. But guys are crisper. More alert. We're going to focos on the little things. Rounding the bases the right way. Proper leadoffs. Staying down on the ball."

But it can contribute to respitory and cardiovascular problems, especially in the elderly.

We’re all gonna love Benetti behind the mike.

Baseball needs to get their mitts on that sweet, sweet LDS treasure chest.

Navalny is a message to us if the guy who loves strongmen gets back into the White House.

Alex Lange to McCosky in today's DetNews: He only threw a 4 seamer 5% of the time (as per statcast) last season. Stands to reason that a breaking ball pitcher that needs to throw his fastball for called strikes might want to increase his 4 seamer use more if he can't keep the sinker in the zone. Like he says - it's not rocket science. It wasn't rocket science last season either but he apparently didn't want to take on making that adjustment on-the-fly mid-season.

Market is back up to where it was on Monday.

There probably are conflict/relationship rules associated with both their appointments, but whether either or both of them violated them is probably not relevant to any prosecutions they were pursuing because there is no intersection to the interest of the defendant. If a cop violates Miranda, or the evidence of an illegal search led to a conviction, then that is misconduct that goes to the the rights of the defendant and does and should poisons the trail and voids a case. How does a conflict in the appointment of a prosecutor impact any particular defendant? Is the arg that Willis would have hired a LESS competent counsel if there had been no (alleged) conflict? That hardly washes. I don't see where Willis critics go with this. I suppose if she is fired it could set back the case - but there must be other people in the office up to speed on the case. Any org has some kind of "Next man up" and all that....

I actually don't like beer. I prefer liquor or wine. Actually, my favorite is Vintage or Late-Bottled Vintage Port. Dow's or similar. Or Stoley's Vodka. Or a shot of Fireball. Or a Russian Quaalude (Kahlua, Stoley's, Bailey's Irish Cream, and Frangelica). I have no clue what White Claw is... I had to look it up. So... not much for beer... And since Stout is a much stronger taste that covers up some of the beer taste I can actually enjoy a bit of Guinness. Certain IPA's too...

I pictured you more of a White Claw guy.

Condolances on the beer choice, but more than happy to meet up.

so Avila got it right and Harris got it wrong!

Does she have a sister?

I have strict instructions to never ever get me anything with this logo on it. Usually a family member will find something at a garage sale or something with it. In the trash it goes.

The reason it was logical to assume, or at least wonder about, racist intent is because of all the politicized kerfuffle involving statues during the last ten or so years. It's not as though it all came out of ... ahem ... left field.

The world order established under NATO has pretty significantly benefitted America and Americans over the years. Not the least of which being that the one time Article 5 was invoked was for our benefit after 9/11. Trump is pretty clearly saying that he will not honor that same commitment if Russia, like they did in Ukraine, invades a NATO ally. NATO has also allowed us to sit at the head of the table and use "soft power" to work toward outcomes we want.... Trump's position would likely lead to that "soft power" being ceded to other nations (ie. China) Approximately zero American soldiers are being endangered on account of this war.... the debate is over providing economic aid to a nation so that Ukrainians can fight to maintain their independence. As much as the JD Vance/Mike Lee set feign concern for Ukranian deaths, their position is arrogant and denies the Ukrainians agency as, by all accounts, they were the wronged party in this conflict and aren't the ones that should be seen as needing to be brought to heel. No doubt all of these points maybe aren't as well communicated as they should be, particularly nearly two years into this conflict, but they are just basic facts. And on the point about "magnanimous" reasons, I think it's strange how the fact that their may be benefits to the United States just totally negates the idea that Ukraine may be benefitting from, you know, defending their nation from attack. When the alternative is being taken over by Russia, which is clearly an outcome that their government and a vast majority of their countrymen do not want.

47th mass shooting THIS YEAR. It’s February 14th. 47th shooting. If you’re not appalled, and are offering a “Yeah, but…”, wtf is wrong with YOU?

People have developed a false sense of normal since the 2009 crash. Fed rates may well not go below 3% again and the difference between 5% and 3% in terms of what investments get funded is not that great. We had an anomaly in the ~15 years after the crash. The housing crash let the air out of the balloon and demographic factors led to a long demand drop (the boomer reached the age where they stopped buying much) but as those effects fade I think we are not likely to see the rates of the 2010's come back so my take would be that we are already closer to the new (old) 'normal' than you'd think listening to financial reporting.

I know they say honesty is the best policy but some things are better left unsaid
