hard to celebrate democracy when the party in control of the White House, the Senate, the House and the SC is gleefully destroying the country.

Let us know if Harris recognizes you from the forum.

Yeah, I'll be thinking of that when my brother is calling me about Lions free agent moves instead of killing time at the movies this week because Aetna had to recoup his co-pay for his kidney dialysis

Last time I went to a game it was late August 2024 and jump started things. Hoping the same happens here.

and it's for good reason: Almost every pitcher today is out of gas and does lose effectiveness somewhere around 100 pitches, which is probably more evidence that the old timers didn't throw max effort all the time, because there is no reason at all to think that today's pitchers should have less stamina.

What reports?

Greeting from beautiful Chicago, Illinois!

So does Hinch have Jones batting third because he realizes that “the third spot“ is overrated?

Interesting stat regarding Riley Greene....... Batting 4th - .268 AVG .348 OBP Batting 5th - .452 AVG .558 OBP

So much for freedom.

It just seems that the whole vibe this year is meh. Looking from the outside from about 3 years or so ago the individual state committees, outside a few like Virginia and maybe Pennsylvania and Massachusetts nobody seems to know how to tie their story into the history of founding of the nation. Both the good and the ugly That plus SemiQuince Centennial is a weird word. If nothing else living where do for the past half dozen years has given me a bit of perspective on history. Especially since CW is also celebrating its Centennial year,

I remember being sad that I missed 1976 because I was just under 3 years old. I had 250 marked as something that would be awesome. Now it's just meh. That bastard will make it all about himself and show no dignity or grace. Speaking of... Obama's library is opening up soon. Those events used to be fun for bipartisanship. You'd get all the former presidents together being friendly. In one of my books they talk about Clinton's library opening and George HW Bush and Clinton had by that point become great friends. They were wandering around the halls slowly and Dubya, showing his hand as POTUS told a staffer "Will someone tell 41 and 42 that 43 is hungry?"

Several towns near me (including Framingham) have canceled July 4th celebrations because of a 'lack of funds,' but I can't help but think it's because of a feeling of dullness and/or lack of enthusiasm this year. TBH I don't feel like celebrating, either. It's sad because I remember the excitement of the bicentennial-people came together to celebrate even though the 70s (and the 60s) had their share of conflict and division.

Trump is taking bribes in exchange for pardons, using the DOJ to go after his enemies and ordering the Pentagon to give loans to his spawn and people are still laser focused on a dead kid fu**er. This country is toast.

Yeah, it probably is just that. I hope Levi comes back this year and makes an impact because we are thin at DT otherwise.

This will count against your service time…..

Batting 7th? Possibly an upgrade.

I will be there.

This road trip could be a disaster. Chicago is winning with power in that tiny ballpark.

I'll bet if one was in an ICE detention center or fighting off a weaponized DOJ investigation it would be harder to pay for cancer treatments.

Katie is a nasty star****ing whore.

E - Casimir.

Was interested to see that report about a new version of the Washington Star. Probably be run by some psycho oligarch but, maybe it will be centerist and aimed at the workforce of DC metro not the Newsmax audience.

So, in the mail I got a bill from an insurance company for some payment billed to my handicapped brother who is on Medicare and Medicaid and does not reside at my house. I guess the story is that this sort of normal co-pay will now be billed to his social security payments and they were trying to find him to get him to pay that. I guess they think i'll dutifully pay that for him? In other news the cost of that co-pay will now mean he can't do much in the way of fun this month. Good job Doge. Hope you choke on your lobster or human hearts or whatever it is you priks eat.

Someone needs to knock Victor into the third row.

yeah, It's not like he said he pitched to the score.

I don’t think a guy hard-wired for competitiveness would lie to make himself look like he’s working less hard, so I would take Mickey’s word on this.

WhErE’s HuNTeR????

See you in 3 years when everyone hates this.

Reloading with Harris picks?

2002 for pitch type, pitch value, and plate discipline; 2007 for velocity and movement; 2008 for contact and strike zone location; 2014 for spin; 2020 for arm angle Pre-2007 was measure by Sports Info Solutions; 2007 and on, Statcast and Pitch Info started measuring.

Robinhood Launches AI Stock Trading, Purchases on Credit Cards FTA (paywalled, but I got this much, which is all you really need): I'll pass.

It practically destroys the dignity of the White House and, by extension, the office of the president. It’s fair to speculate as to whether that’s been the actual goal the whole time.

Bow to your sensei.

There's 3 stages of wealth and lawn care: 1) I'm poor and have to cut my own grass 2) I can afford to pay someone else to do it 3) I'm rich enough to buy my own riding mower and love driving around doing it
