That's my board too. 1) Correa 2) Story After those two... I would struggle with any other choice (happy we got a good SS but unhappy with all the peripheral/ aging/ etc... issues.) It's pretty simple for me. Correa. And if not Correa, Story.

Yes, that's what I said.

This. Our Democracy is under severe internal attack by the Fascist MF'ing Republican Party. They are doing everything they possibly can to toss out the Constitution of the United States and replace it with a Fascist Dictatorship.

A Republican legislature in Virginia will. A Republican legislature will give itself override authority to toss out the popular election in Virginia if they don't like the results. THAT would be the END of Democracy. Your vote would no longer count in Virginia if it could just be tossed out, at will. These types of laws have already passed into law in Georgia and Texas I believe. Thankfully, Republicans ONLY took over the Virginia House and Governorship, and not also the Senate. What the above tells me is that 34% of Virginia Democrats don't give a flying fuck about our Democracy. Asswipes.

Miggy comes off the books after 2023. We have an exceptionally low payroll excluding Miggy. A roster full of young kids. I don't accept the above excuse to not go after Correa, even if it costs $300 Mill. Wrong answer.

PS: I wonder When/ If Berggren makes it to Detroit this year...?

Need. More. Talent.

One last point: our private insurance (MIDDLE MAN!!!) process is one of the most INEFFICIENT medical payment processes in the world. It's a completely asinine system.

PS: If our medical system can bankrupt you, or is simply not available to a large portion of our country's citizenry... It ain't the best medical system in the world. No matter how good the actual medicine is.

Maybe... how do we compare to Germany, Norway, Britain, and other elite democracies around the world? Is there data that supports your statement? Because I don't believe for one second that Germany has an inferior medical system to ours... Which is entirely why we rank last in the civilized/ first world/ democratic world... (I'm not talking ranking against developing countries...). Based completely on affordability and availability. We still have the highest population of uninsured amongst first world countries.

What if a Simmons trade includes Josh Jackson... do you think about it? Killian? Can Simmons play PF?

I think he can go through the same non-tender process so the team is not FORCED to give arbitration. Doesn't matter minor or MLB contract, he gets paid only per the contract and is not eligible for arbitration because of the contract.

Until it mutates and kids start dying. The stupidity of MAGA is just beyond my comprehension. And that's not the actual language that I use to describe the MAGA-idiocy.

Some Christmas favorites by Sting: Burning Babe & Hounds of Winter are also good from this album (I even like Lullaby for an Anxious Child).

I prefer a little more mellow in the morning... just a little bit:

But... 'Merica has the best medical system in the WORLD!!! I don't understand.

2022: this country will be on a roll... No Dem wipeout at midterms.

Are you talking about Trump's tax cuts that added $1 Trillion to the deficit EACH YEAR? Or the $8 TRILLION that TRUMP added to the deficit?

That looks really good. I just went on Amazon and grabbed myself a copy...

OIC. 2022-2023 are already locked in. We have to pay $16 Mill on top of that to buy him out of 2024-25.

So many teases going on out there right now... Please don't tease me and then leave me.

Tease, tease, tease.

Do it. Let him get his 3000+ and if he's scuffling buy him out. I thought the last two years were already locked in though? Are you certain the buy-out is still in effect?

damn... I've been trying to edit typos before posting but every now & then I forget to double-check...
