No freaking way on Correa. Bet you a million dollars Canadian.

That reminds me of Ralph Houk's quote when unheard-of Mark Fidrych made the team in 1976: "They tell me he's a major league pitcher. We're going to find out."

I wonder if the stupid Rangers offered the stupid contract to Correa first before Seager, at least informally, and he turned it down because "I get at least as much as Lindor".

I have not seen a dai!y schedule posted yet. Does anyone know what time the Power Shag is scheduled for today?

I think he has known all along that no one is going to get involved militarily in either place, he can walk right in whenever he wants to and nobody would do a thing to stop him. It is the threat of crippling his economy that keeps him out, and could keep him out indefinitely. He probably isn't as nuts as Putin is. On the other hand, he knows how difficult it would be for his customers around the world to disengage. It would be a little more difficult for Walmart to disengage from China than it was for restaurants to just stop buying vodka from a particular region.

It must be so, so irritating to have a CEO who makes such overtly political statements, whether Democratic or Republican.

I wanted to trade Herndon after '84 and put Johnson out there

No way for 10 years at 320 plus for Correa, he isn't worth it. There was only one stupid contract from a stupid team out there, and Seager took it. Good for Al Avila for wanting him (and apparently Chris Ilitch approving it) at 300, I wouldn't, but that's the assessment that he made. And good for Chris Ilitch for saying that there is a limit beyond which he would not go for Correa.

That's surprising. How many minor leaguers did teams own in 1891? I would have thought zero. I guess we are reminded from time to time that Clemente was a Rule 5 pick.

Seth Myers' writers came up with this, in reaction to the announcement that Lululemon will be introducing a line of athletic shoes: "They will give you the support and comfort that you need, while you are asking to speak to the manager".

This is like watching Jason Statham be surrounded by 10 guys, who then step in to fight him one at a time.

They are sitting ducks. I'll bet that Putin doesn't even read the casualty results, he isn't interested. Didn't Trump once say that military cemeteries were full of losers? That would be Putin's approach too, the dead guys had disappointed him.

WTF am I supposed to do with this pink popcorn? I have a 45 gallon drum of it.

"Teaching or promoting it".

I think that you are probably correct.

He's a patriot.

Sometimes it's easier to just sit there in a cloud of your own farts.

I hope you get a chance to shake his hand some day.

You were wearing that rainbow afro wig and sitting behind home plate.

In the old forum there was someone that I thought was an obnoxious jerk who had a scripture quote in his sig line.

Do tell!

"Paul Gosar DDS"...LOL Q: What do you call a guy who couldn't get into medical school? A: A dentist.

Too bad he didn't have bone spurs.

Only the army can realistically pull that off I think. Walk in and arrest him.

Michael McFaul says that there is no one who has any influence over Putin and that this is his own initiative.
