and again, grant hinders this team. look what they've done without him? they've finally done what most people here have told them to do all season: put hayes on the bench and give the ball to cade and let him work. if grant is on the team he hogs the ball with all his one on one iso shit that takes the ball out of cade's hands. cade defers to grant. look, if grant wants to stand in the corner and shoot threes, that's great. if grant wants to be the guy with the ball in his hands when cade is getting a rest? that's great too. but grant starting and continuing to go one on five in casey's weak ass offense? nope, nada, trade him now.

what type of #1 pick do you think youre getting for grant? any team that trades for him will be a contender and their pick will be in the late teens at best. youre not getting a lottery pick foe grant. any deal that gets a #1 pick for grant is good. the deal i would hold out for is getting a prime time rookie that is a bench guy (or injured) on a good team, a team that needs one more piece and can part with a top talent that might develop for one that is developed. like chicago parting with williams for grant. other than that, give me young players and a #1 pick.

the united states is not going to war over ukraine. the united states SHOULD not go to war over ukraine. ukraine is not a nato member and we owe it nothing. when we go off on our little dalliances to "defend democracy" we get ourselves in trouble. (and ukraine isnt much of a democracy anyway...freedom house gives them a lower ranking than (gasp) hungary with evil orban...even though freedom house is bullshit) we have a set of solid alliances that we need to respect and defend. israel, nato, japan, south korea, australia, canada!. other than that, we can pick and choose our battles in the new cold war. ukraine is not in our interests and should not be a red line in any sand. russia will not invade a country that is a member of nato. the us can use the ukraine as an excuse to bolster up some defenses in poland and the baltics to make them feel better, but it should not be fighting russia in the ukraine. i assume this is biden playing bad cop to europe's good cop to try to strike some deal that will leave russia holding the cards on ukraine without formally invading it.

i think there is real backlash against school closings and what people perceive as curriculum changes based on "crt." republicans are making a killing off of it and democrats are in a bad spot. its a fight with the teachers unions here in chicago. it seems to be a fight with the local school boards in virginia and other places. is there political fighting in texas between the state republican leadership and the blue local leaders in places like houston and dallas?

gattis or hart. i think gattis is the logical choice. if you hired hart, it would piss everyone else off on staff who got jumped by a position coach.

phil rogers is a buffoon. im surprised he didnt vote for for pierzynski and mark grace too. chicago moron.

when the queen dies, will canada put charles on their money?

suh is an ass hole, nothing new. i want my d lineman to be ass holes. mean m'fers who want to rip your head off.

luka doncic 2.0 that'a what the hope was.

ortiz is one of my least favorite players. but what is really galling is the hypocrisy. if steroids are keeping clemens, bonds, and arod out (who are all much better than ortiz) then how is fat papi in? its a joke. but its the hall of fame. the hall of fame has been a joke for a while.

if hayes cant shoot, then at he needs to at least get to the line. use that body to create contact and draw fouls. but he doesnt. the problem with drafting guys that young is that some of them take a while to develop.

sounds like cade is having another great game.

garbage vote.

gary sheffield should be in too. suffers from dick allen disease. writers dont like him.

mcgwire should definitely be in.

clinton was too smart for his own good. nixon was too insecure.

bonds and clemens wont get in until the next generation of writers outs them in through the back door. the baby boomers and their preening moralism will need to die first.

90% market share in kansas city. buffalo was probably even higher.

anything is better than chief wahoo.

this.

609 home runs is a lot. i'd put him in.

😡

mark grace is such a phony.

not only that, but he got shot in the dominican by some gangster. ortiz does some shady shit but gets away with it because he smiles a lot. although, if being a happy black dude as opposed to dick allen gets you in the hall of fame, then why isnt sammy in?

its such bullshit. arod, bonds, clemens, and schilling cant get a sniff and that fat liar gets in on the first ballot because he's "jolly". four of the best players of all time cant get in because the writers have their panties in a bunch about roids or schilling's politics and ortiz gets a pass. manny ramirez should be pissed too.
