  1. I'm not saying in games, but maybe get a look in practice just to see if it's a possibility - not for this year, but for the future. With what seems like a glut of outfielders, it could help him - but in the future.
  2. This is it for Tork. Either he gets this fixed now or it's probably time to call him a bust. I was hoping he could give us Jason Thompson-like numbers at some point, but that seems far-fetched now. Maybe its time to consider getting Malloy or Vierling some reps at first base. Gotta keep Matty V in the lineup every day now, until he cools off. Drafting a hitter 1-1 who can't catch up to a fastball is a pretty big fail, but I also believe that at least 3/4 of the league would have taken him first overall. Can their coaches fix him? As far as Meadows goes - he deserves another shot because of his hitting now at Toledo, but we also have to consider just how much better the pitching is in the majors, so maybe it's not real. Maybe there is no fixing Tork. What was he doing last year that changed this year? You see this kind of drop off when a player gets older, not now, not at this age.
  3. Oh don't underestimate the bullpen's ability to flop. Well, maybe it was a May thing and May is over.
  4. Can we have a hypnotist give a cue to Javy that makes him think there are RISP when the bases are empty?
  5. Wow, so he's on the next flight to Metro Airport, eh?
  6. That's how they get ya. They make it so frustrating that you will eventually just give up.
  7. Okay, hold on a minute. I'm a lefty and I love my country, that doesn't involve just blindly saying we're right all the time. I think the IDEA of America would make it the best country, but it's a con. We could be so much better. And it isn't all the fault of the leaders and controllers - we've become intellectually lazy as a society. It's why we got Trump vs. Biden in 2020. They were the most famous already and that's it. It's why Jesse Ventura and Arnold won elections. We get what we deserve there. And thanks to the internet, that trend is not going to turn around. People learn about the world in the span of 300 characters at a time instead of getting to the heart of things and get a deeper meaning. People protest something because they believe it's worth fighting for. That's not hate. It turns to hate when that protest turns to violence. We could be so much better. It's all right here. We have the resources, infrastructure and climate to accomplish anything, but our own ignorance, greed and vanity keep getting in our own way. Those are the things the power brokers set in motion and we keep falling for it. If we stopped fighting over dumb little things and stopped and saw what they were doing to us, we might actually unite on some levels and change things for the better. But we can't even significantly change gun laws when 20 first graders get murdered at school (At least the Oakland Country prosecutors said "enough'). And you show me someone who goes around waving a flag all the time and probably 7 times out of 10 they're a phony, trying to sell you something. That's not patriotism. Putting flags on t-shirts and soda cans is not patriotism, it's salesmanship AND A VIOLATION OF FLAG CODE. If someone has to point out to you how patriotic they are, they're covering up something else. Like Christians who have to tell you all the time they are Christians, when their actions should signify it without explanation. That heathen rock star Dave Grohl goes down and cooks for the homeless several times a month when he's not touring. That's more Christian than anything Joel Osteen does. "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel" - Samuel Johnson, 1775.
  8. The small group of silent partners who control every aspect of our lives and keep throwing these divisive wedge issues at us to get us to fight with each other so we won't notice how they are constantly passing laws to screw us and help themselves. These are people who are beyond Republican/Democrat and they control much of the media. An example is - no bankers went to jail for what they did that led up to 2008. Iceland threw their bankers in jail for doing pretty much the same thing.
  9. Haven't done those since the 90s, but I am in so much pain right now I will try anything. I don't think it's a back injury, I think it's a stuck kidney stone. See, I have a kink in my ureter. The stones can pass through. I am holding out for now, but if the tylenol and kratom don't knock this down, someone wanna give me a ride to the ER ?
  10. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/chad-daybell-sentenced-to-death-for-killing-wife-and-girlfriends-2-children_n_665b6270e4b0ba2cffe6e6f5 Chad Daybell sentenced to DEATH for murdering 2 little children. See - the justice system really does work !
  11. The episode where they were serving meals in a fancy restaurant but they were just frozen dinners made to look pretty - that was brilliant. The actor who played the waiter in that was brilliant. They brought several couples to a (fake) restaurant to sample top of the line food. One person in each couple was in on the gag. They were just serving frozen meals. One guy out of all of them said "this tastes like Stouffers to me", the rest fell for it.
  12. Does Malloy finally get a shot or do they bring back Parker ? Or do they bring up Dirk Diggler? He's .354/.380/.980 in May. Malloy requires a roster move.
  13. When they did Celebrity Apprentice Penn Jillette dominated the season. By every metric he was far and away the winner, but before it came down to the last decision the producers asked Penn if he would endorse Trump if he ran for President and when Penn said No, Trace Adkins was declared the winner. To take it a step further. Penn Jillette never ever endorsed a Republican or Democrat for anything in his life until Trump ran in 2016 and Penn said he had no problem at all completely endorsing Hilary Clinton (and he doesn't even like her).
  14. This Weaver firing is pointless. Arn's son getting promoted? Monty staying? What a joke. What a sick joke. Send this rotting corpse of a franchise to Seattle. They're just a name on a floor now. They're a real estate deal.
  15. Well Omarosa, if you are so smart are you actually going to tell us you didn't know that when you worked for him? Give me a break. And the N-word tape won't move the needle for his followers, it's the reason they love him. Even the Black supporters won't budge. Omarosa just couldn't make any more money off Trump.......so now she's anti-Trump. She's just another creep in his orbit.
  16. I'm just gonna go ahead and call Mr. Hunt "Stephen" and Trump "Calvin Candie".
  17. It's all about how it LOOKS. He knows he couldn't really stop it and he freaking hates Trump personally. It was like George Wallace standing in front of the University to block the Black students from getting in. He knew he wouldn't win that, it was all a show.
  18. The only thing regarding law that this Republican party cares about is being able to absolutely make law with no opposition. They want to get rid of the Constitution. This Republican Party would love DeSantis if he did that.
  19. No. It's morning. I don't do that stuff during the day. That's night time stuff. I need to be sharp and focused during the day. Kratom is for daytime. But that's not really much more than caffeine.
  20. Assuming they won't appeal Trump because they are all Black is racist as Hell. Now if you want to show that there really isn't anything that can be appealed, that's another thing altogether. Not saying Chris is being an overt racist, but this is a form of racism too. Assuming anyone who is different from you is going to feel the same way is racist. I just did it too by posting about Asian women supporting a Republican. I don't get it since they seem to be very anti-Asian, but I made the assumption they should all hate him. They don't.
  21. Here is a scenario I can see happening. They allow him to go back to Florida. He refuses to come back to NY for sentencing The Marshalls go down to get him DeSantis surrounds Mar-A-Lago with the Florida National Guard. I can totally see that happening. Can you?
  22. I saw a photo of two Pro-Trump Asian women holding a sign NEVER SURRENDER. Do you have any idea how the Republican Party feels about you? Ask the Republican Senate Leader's wife.
