Honest question for the Christian Trumpers. Isn't empathy more or less one of the main tenants of the bible?

Trump.

Volume shooter.

I’d have laughed at anyone suggesting home court for a play in game. And here we are, home court for the first round is a legit possibility.

I think Stavenhagen mentioned on the Tiger Territory podcast that Maeda did indeed change up his off-season routine and included more bullpen sessions in response to his 2024 season. So, yeah, like you say, maybe he is simply at the end. But to his credit, he saw a need to change something and he made that change.

If Torkleson goes 3rd person, maybe that’ll unlock his potential?

So glad the adults are in charge….

I’m going to trademark Yo-yo Tariff Policy.

Dude…. I am playing CF today. I’m just playing CF over in LF today. Hey coach, look at me…. I can be ….. CF.

There snowflakes here today. I’d be happy riding pine at the Pirates ball yard today.

So, an acquaintance was telling me he bought a bottle of bourbon which was to honor President ####. He has not yet received it. He’s gotten a few messages about it being on its way but delayed for this reason or that reason or the other reason. He told me it’s gotten to the point where he’s ready to just cancel it (good luck with getting your money back). As he’s telling me this, I remember a few months ago when he tries to justify his vote for President #### by saying we all know he’s a con man, which I didn’t really understand how that benefitted his position. But I politely kept my mouth shut. Maybe if he updates me that he has lost his cash I’ll remind him that we all know he’s a con man and that’s just the cost of doing business in association of him.

Huh? This is ‘Merica. If I want something, forget John.

I would think if Vierling and Meadows are only going to be out for the short term, they’ll likely just go with Perez in CF, maybe with a waiver claim as a backup. I’m not sure Merrfield or Marte are CF options. Verdugo could be, but I wouldn’t think he’s a target unless they feel the need for a longer term option. Actually, Verdugo has played only 15 innings of CFthe past 3 seasons, all of which were last season. Alright, so maybe there’s just some short term in house patch work to get through a few weeks.

Is it too early to foresee foreign countries boycotting the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles with how our co-presidents are treating foreign policy?

If Rose is inducted, and I think we can all agree that based solely on his playing credentials he should be, it should be mentioned on his plaque that he was banned from baseball. Something along the lines of “bet in baseball and was inducted posthumously as a result”, but wordsmithed better than that. I agree that the proliferation of betting advertisements in sports is annoying/troublesome in general and extremely contrary to the rules of the sports personnel directly and the stated tagline about seeking help if one has a gambling problem. I don’t know you square that up. It probably doesn’t square up. It’s too easy to bet and there’s too much revenue for the sports to ignore from these partnerships. The toothpaste is out of the tube there.

I’ve heard NBA playoff games are now shown live rather than tape delay, but I’m not so sure about that.

What’s JaCoby Jones up to?

This is my initial thought. Is he in line for more play by play with the Pistons?

All our hopes and dreams are belong to them.

Prince was effective no doubt. I don’t think he had the same energy about him as Rodman did or Thompson does. Oh, sure, there was the block which was that kind of moment by itself. Maybe it’s because Prince didn’t have the top gear quickness that Rodman/Thompson had/have?

I know he’s missed some time. I think by and large all of the younger guys have improved (Sasser gets an incomplete here). Thompson seems to be the guy that’s improved the most from last season.

I think Duren has been making strides as the season has gone along, too. There’s still more for him to learn. Maybe he needed a coaching change as much as anybody?

I get Dennis Rodman defensive energy vibes when he's out there.

Don’t yell at me, dude. I ain’t in charge.

Dickerson mentioned the Yankees handout out to the media the starting lineup as well as the substitutes for those starters.
