Is the guy the Nats just lost Mike Rizzo of any interest as GM or is it a lock that he's going to the White Sox? My grade: B Positives: Lots of positive development of the position players. The AAA offense is thumping teams every night according to my MILB app which can only mean that some of these clubbers are coming North at some point. The big three of Riley, Spencer and Kerry appear to be a core worth preserving. There is the basis of a future rotation in Skubal, Manning, Olson with possible FA centerpiece like Erod (who appears to be on the Michigan Chamber of Commerce for all he loves it here). Negatives: That AAA pitching staff appears to be tied together with banyan vines and spit. That does not bode well for the future. For this to mean a winning season in 2024, he needs an offseason like the Detroit Lions offseason. Having that offseason required a surge in 2023. I'm not sure we had that surge to the degree necessary.

I love Mike Tirico as a PbP but this was egregious. I wonder if he was just as clueless as the audience because it sure seemed like an INT

Peacock experience just feels like lining up at a MEPS for medical exam. We’ve all been drafted and we just have to pay. Damn them and the horse they rode in on.

No worries…i got your meaning.

That was fine and about what I expected. If I had a concern, it would be non-dominance in the run game. Defense was good. Our special teams cost us some points. Need to give Moody DNA to the new kid.

The Crossing is perhaps the best debut album of the 80s

wow

You can't record Michigan games on Bally --- [that was supposed to be in the vein of "sir, this is a Wendy's"]

So weird that U2 which was basically a similar celtic alternative band explode and they didn't -- as much. I liked U2 a lot but that always had me wonder. Maybe they just were more interested in the more interesting leading man, which Bono clearly was.

Which of his 20-30-something dudebro staffers thinks this is "tough" behavior?

Oh, that's a very cool story. He definitely had a very dark streak which was clearly alcoholism and depression. He became "spiritual" during this battle. The album he did in Nashville as a project called The Raphaels was very interesting. Very dark and brooding and very christian. Not my usual fare to be sure but very interesting. Not for everyone and certainly not for the Oi, Oi, Oi rowdy celtic rock crowd.

Was just reading In Ian Toll's Pacific Crucible about the very aggressive US sub commander of the Wahoo who had his deck gun fire on Japanese survivor's after a sinking. Kinda shocking but also, not so shocking considering the barbarism of the Pacific war.

That time Morning Joe talked about the Red Sox so much that Mika got annoyed.

Real revolutionaries would welcome the longer jail term so they could work on their political tracts while in prison.

So, we can DEFINITELY trust Putin with any negotiation.

"Double that again, I'm not working for the clampdown"

Nah, i'm a fan of the Chief.

The deterrence effect of anything over 10 years is massive.

Oh man...

I intend to give this a whirl this weekend during an idle moment in a gloriously open weekend with only a hitting practice tonight. Hamilton 2.0 Dashboard – Alliance For Securing Democracy (gmfus.org)

Noticed while chasing something that was "trending" on the twitter platform. Yeah. Russia is an intelligence organization supporting a bunch of oligarchs but once you expose that they are an empty house. Not that their friends in the West don't cause all sorts of mischief.

For sure. For all the troglodytes who roll out George Orwell as a hammer against any form of collectivization, his writings on the folly of pacifism were incredibly poignant. He knew the stakes if the Totalitarians and the Fascists got away with things at the expense of democracy. He also knew how much it served the bad guys for these people to get away with their facile arguments unchallenged.

A lead?

Tarrio should get a bit longer you'd think.
