    Nope, can't. There's just so much with the idolization of him that I find simply incomprehensible.

    During his debut call up, his offense was poor, but it was his awful defense that was eye opening and concerning. I don’t think his bat was ever considered to be his calling card, although he did have one pop in it. Long term, I’m still hoping that they have something with Dingler. If they can reasonably piece C together to bridge things until Dingler is ready, I’d be fine with that.

    Wow, I thought he had more than that, too.

    I don’t know. If it was needed that badly on all three fronts, it seems like a deal would have occurred before it played out in real life.

    It’s crazy how different the perception of Rogers’ future is from last year at this time. Good for him for reclaiming that “prospect” status even if he’s a little old to be a prospect now.

    Oh, it’s possible. The worst league record falls either 1st through 4th via lottery (percentage of permutations is 14% for 1st down to 12% for 4th). It’s a 47.9% chance that the worst team falls out of the lottery to 5th. Maybe there is something with the NBA draft that MLB could use, I don’t know. Roster building in basketball is just so different than baseball.

    I think the Tigers' suckiness goes beyond Zimmermann. I think his situation and the contract being a strikeout was a contributing factor. I kind of wonder what the Tigers would have done had Verlander not been traded with 16 seconds left on the clock. If he had remained with the team for the rest of 2017, do the Tigers try to retool for a playoff run in 2018?

    Not possible to occur the way the NBA lottery is set up, unless they happen to trade out of their lottery spot and into 14th. A few years ago, the NBA had concocted the idea of taking all current 30 teams and assigning draft spots based on a 30 year cycle. Every team would be assigned to every 1-30 slot. The Pistons could have 14 one season, 7 the next, 29, 16, 4, etc,... as an example, with no regards to the previous season's record.

    Ah yes, the sport where one lottery can significantly change the fortunes of a franchise in very short order. By the way, the Pistons still stink.

    Well, that’d be perfect for the sport that allows a DH in one league but not the other.
  13. casimir
    That’s an interesting idea.

    I kind of like this for baseball.

    My wife won the lottery and everybody else got screwed (but not by me, I'm married).

    I didn't have too much of a problem with my single stage clogging this morning. I had to pace myself a bit, especially at the end of the driveway, and I probably waited about as long as I could for round one. But I got our drive & sidewalk and a couple of neighbors' walks.

    Bingo. We had precipitation all day yesterday, but it stayed warmer longer than was expected. Rain was supposed to change over to snow around 10am here but that didn't happen until 4pm. The rain never really let up between 10-4, so no doubt that would have been snow had it been colder.

    Try being a Kroger worker during these. I do not miss that at all.

    It was well played, sir. The original 12-18" (or was it 20"?) has been knocked down to only 10-14". The changeover from rain to snow yesterday was later than anticipated.

    This makes me both happy and angry all at the same time.

    I need to speak to a manager.

    My mom was on kidney transplant lists for a couple of years. Her blood type hampered the efforts as it was simply tough to find a match, but she did what she was instructed to do. Took her meds, watched her diet & activity, kept up with dialysis, followed medical guidance, etc. She eventually got matched with a donor, but it didn't work out, the kidneys failed, and so she endured 4 surgeries within 4 days (the kidney transplant, 2 lesser procedures, and then the eventual kidney removal) and then went back to the list. She never had another opportunity. If folks on transplant lists don't want to follow the protocols, that's fine. Simply bypass them and move on to the next person that's willing and able.
