That guy who said "only 46 cases" was a climate change denier too.

It didn't even occur to me to watch it.

Yeah, he's not going anywhere, he is playing next year for his curtain call. I don't mind at all, he is one of the few interesting people on the team.

Yes the intelligence on the ground today defeats any 1944 style deception. I was just musing about 1944 and nothing has changed except Hitler has a satellite to observe enemy movements. Would he even believe the evidence if it conflicted with his point of view?

Those inflatable tanks at Dover might still look good from a satellite, but it would be tricky to assemble and transport them. They would need wheels and a wooden base, a small motor, and a driver. You couldn't just assemble them on-site or push them into position, being watched by a satellite in real time. Real tanks would have to arrive at the assembly area in advance, to drive around and leave so many tracks that it wouldn't be obvious that the fakes weren't leaving any. What about a heat signature? This is too complicated for me.

Drafting guys named Jace and Troy, boy I don't know. You should only draft guys named Mike and Nick and Chuck.

Then how would going to Toledo change anything?

Yes

That sure sounds like shitty coaching to me and a manager who can't control the flow of information.

Hitler was a charismatic leader whose subordinates obeyed his commands. That doesn't sound like Hinch to me.

Tonight my wife and I walked across the street for drinks with 6 other friends from the street, which we haven't done in about 15 years. It was just great, I did not think about the 2022 Tigers even once.

I really want to see him in Toledo in August.

Clearly, he is a Mason.

Poor Biden, nobody told him that Jared Kushner already achieved lasting peace in the middle east.

Lol, that explains a lot.

You can tell a lot about a player from his nickname. Avoid "Spaz".

Yes and we are stuck with him, thanks to Al Avila outbidding himself with the only offer that Hinch received.

What MB said could not have been more clear.

Yes I do, he was an actual major league baseball player that the team signed back when they didn't have any.

I've been sick of first round pitchers since 1993.

Absolutely right. If he does fire Avila this will be one of the important reasons.

Unbelievable. 40% of the active roster.

Triston McKenzie vs. Elvin Rodriguez reminds me a little bit of lions vs. Christians

That is the illustration that really crystallizes the whole issue. The US spends about twice as much per capita as all of those universal health care countries, and delivers shameful results by comparison. The obvious explanation I think, just to make sure that I understand the point, is that in the US more than half of that spending is creamed off by profits for pharmaceuticals, insurers, hospitals, doctors, and so on. That's the whole difference, isn't it?
