Yes, this again.

Those lists tell an important story. Yes, Correa and Seager are nice players when they are on the field, which is not often enough.

You will be getting more Sealtest ice cream.

Here is another reason why travel bans are dumb: they discourage the sharing of essential data. Those countries discovered the presence of a potential variant of concern, and shared the data with the rest of the world. Their reward? A travel ban. On top of all the rest of the things that they have to deal with, including vaccine inequity, they now have this stupid travel ban. It isn't much of an incentive for the sharing of data in the future.

Targeted travel bans are pointless. Canada has announced bans on the same countries; it is something that governments do in order to give the impression that they are doing something. Here is all you need to know about Omicron: a lady in Belgium has it, having just returned from Egypt and Turkey. She was nowhere near southern Africa. The travel ban might slow the arrival of the virus, but only for a couple of weeks and everybody knows it, especially the epidemiologists.

Yes, if they could get Baez for 5 years I would rather have that than Correa for 10.

Well, look no further for the reason why your daily cases and deaths are completely out of control. You need masking, and social distancing, in every indoor setting, with 100% compliance.

That's the first time I've heard that one of the 2 main goals of vaccination was to stop masking immediately. I don't know of anywhere in the world that allowed vaccinated people to stop wearing masks.

I live in a city of 770,000 people and the local health authority released a list of all the elementary schools and their vaccination rates. In affluent neighbourhoods the rates were averaging almost 80%, and in poorer neighbourhoods the average was around 50%. And, in schools specifically operated by Christian extremists, the average was around 30%.

How do you change attitudes? Michigan is averaging 77 deaths per day when, based on its population, that number should be 4. I have seen many anecdotal reports about how lax the attitudes are toward masking, and I have seen many opinions expressed that masking is not necessary any more. And how do you convince people to get vaccinated, after all the persuaion that has already been attempted? Michigan's vax rate is 54%.

Rolen is under the radar, a fine defensive player at third base who, in his first 10 full seasons, had an OPS+ of at least 120 for 9 of those 10 years.

Which Dr. Oz is that? Dr. Oz, crime reporter? Dr. Oz, wellness expert? Dr. Oz, food critic?

You serve no useful purpose here. You have already been here for 24 hours which is too long.

LOL!

I've been thinking that. Just needs to be a little more vulgar.

There weren't any weapons.

Here for less than one day, and he's insulting people. It would be nice, for balance, if a couple of more thoughtful conservatives joined the board, but it has not happened in recent memory.

Non violent

Who could blame them for feeling that way? In an open carry state I can shoot whomever I want to now. All I have to do is provoke them into assaulting me, that's not too difficult. And then I shoot them.

Lol!!!

It's like John Cleese teaching you how to defend yourself against various types of fruit.

Utter contempt for him I suppose.

Perhaps. I still want to punch the shit out of him though.

Correct.

I'd be very happy with Semien too. I like him and Baez both, because they are in the lineup every day. And you should be able to get them for shorter term, without as many dead years at the end.
