  1. “Well, I’m not even sure that’s a crime anymore. There’ve been a lot of changes in the law. ” - Irwin M. Fletcher
  2. MAGA will tell you the problem is too many blacks and women in leadership positions. I’m sure there’s some part of Project 2025 that will address it.
  3. This would be way, way too light of a package to trade Skubal.
  4. It wasn’t that bad. Signed, Roseanne Barr
  5. Derby is so much better without the most annoying schtick in sport and the never ending “back back back” call.
  6. He also called her a smelly pirate hooker and to go back to whore island.
  7. He’s a young white guy from the Midwest with a military background. If you think like a Trumpy that’s all that really matters. It plays right to their base even though we all know they should be trying to connect with undecideds outside of the base. They don’t know any other way.
  8. Why are you still trying to use your common sense to explain decisions made by the Trump and his people? Logic is usually the first giveaway of something unintended by them.
  9. I believe their thought is his Midwest Hillbilly background can help them in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. They probably win the election if they can sweep these states.
  10. I am not sure that I understand. When does this happen?
  11. It’s gonna be Vance. He’s the worst of the lot so of course it’ll be him.
  12. If the ump can’t get it right because the game has gotten too fast, they need to make it easier on him. They did this with instant replay. There has never more emphasis on spin rate and ball movement from pitchers. This game has gotten much harder to call balls and strikes. I look at it as just another step in the evolution of the game as the athletes get bigger, stronger, and better. The umps certainly are not. They need some help. Roboump is coming but that’s huge and will take time to get right. This is a small easy fix.
  13. Today’s catcher has gotten insanely good at framing. It’s a split second movement to take the ball from out of the zone back in. Umps are easily fooled. MLB could figure out ways to implement and punish. It shouldn’t be hard.
  14. The biggest controversy is going to be when they have their Tim Donaghy ump in business with gamblers moment. They’ve made it so easy to get away with it. It only takes one guy to see it as just a job and doesn’t care about the precious sanctity of the game.
  15. Outlawing pitch framing by the catcher would have the biggest impact. Doing nothing and pretending it’s not a problem is going to bite MLB in the ass.
  16. Almost as regular an occurrence as the 7th inning stretch. Here are the worst of the first half going by pitchcast numbers.
  17. I’ll be shocked if she’s even a judge in a few years. I expect her to resign and take a ridiculously high paying job with the Adelson Family Foundation.
  18. NIL in college baseball is so new that’s it hard to predict what some of the SEC and ACC teams will do. Wouldn’t shock me to see some of these schools significantly up their offers to players after the draft.
  19. This sounds like trolls having fun with a gullible reporter.
  20. Welcome back to 💩 show!
  21. I didn’t contradict myself at all. Your theory just hasn’t been our current reality. Are you really going to go all the way back to the Civil War. What? I barely equate the 60’s as part of our modern society anymore. Enjoy your vacation and maybe think about getting away from checking this site all the time while you are away. It’s an addiction that’s really not good for any of us.
  22. That makes sense in theory but up until now it hasn’t been true. We have violent gun incidents weekly and larger scale mass shootings multiple times every year. Somehow, we have luckily avoided seeing this type of violence bleed over into the political arena. The last Presidential attack was Reagan. Gabby Giffords and Steve Scalise were the last attacks on congressmen. I fear we are going to see more violent attacks on elected officials going forward.
  23. I would have no remorse if Trump had a heart attack and died. Honestly, I would probably be happy. What happened yesterday was horrible. Political violence has no place in a democracy. It can not be tolerated regardless of person or party. I am glad that Trump survived and appears to be unharmed. Unfortunately, I fear the attack has caused severe damage to the already fragile civility that was in place.
  24. Glad you are ok but don’t do that again. It’s not worth it, Romad. Don’t engage next time. Too many crazies out there.
  25. Satan said not today.
