I think Rolen and Whitaker are pretty similar. Very good for a long time, but never superstars. Rolen did have 9.2 WAR in 2004, but it was driven, in part, by a huge defensive year which may have been a fluke. I am also surprised he got in, because he is not the type of player the BBWAA usually notices.

I also do not think Pence was doing anything nefarious. I absolutely can not say the same thing about Trump.

Too much baseball? What does that even mean?

Miguel Cabrera is in the best shape of his life. There is a different feeling in the clubhouse this year. There is a chemistry that wasn't there last year.

Articulate like Jim Price?

The MAGAs heard the name Tran and thought he was something else.

By that definition, all mass shootings are hate crimes. It's silly for me to get into a debate about this though, because I dislike guns as much as anyone.

I have some money in VMFXX. I noticed just the other day that the yield went up a lot in past couple of weeks.

yes

Early indications are the suspect was an Asian.

You are younger, so it makes sense to stay in the market, although there are no guarantees.. Some of us are at an age where we might need our money sooner rather than later. It took 8 years to recover from the 2000 crash. I can't afford that risk now Thus, I am putting money I think I'll need for the next 10 years into CDs and keeping longer term money in the market.

I find that I like most individuals. It's when individuals get together as groups that they can become a problem.

He is never really "wrong" or "right". He is just a salesman telling people what he thinks they want to hear.

To be clear, I didn't spin it at all. I was not part of the conversation.

Unfortunately, the right wing whacko population turned out to be bigger than I Imagined. I used to view the right as mostly conservative wealthy capitalists and small businessmen who blamed blamed all societies ills on poor, lazy people. They were sometimes mean but not crazy. The size of the proportion of crazies willing to go along with every conspiracy theory has been disconcerting.

Being in a pitcher's park is a poor excuse for being a bad GM. That is something a good GM should be able to use to his advantage. Dombrowski appeared to do that by buildind around starting pitching. Harris has said that being in an unusual park is an advantage. Let's see if he can take advantage.

Some people do their best thinking on the crapper.

Randy Smith was a disaster. I agree he was worse than Avila. Just look back at the drafts and development. The list of top draft picks who were utter failures is amazing.

He's still lazy and incompetent as are most of his strongest allies.

They didn't do that when he was President. How are they going to do it when the other party is still mostly in power? If there was an easy way to steal the election why didn't Trump do it in 2020? If there was, we know he would have done it.
-
yeah, I know. It depends on who is making the tiers. 84Lives!!! is not making the tiers!

Trump is dominating all the polls: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/2024_republican_presidential_nomination-7548.html#polls

I think if there is a bunch of candidates like 2016, Trump will win the nomination. If they consolidate around one opponent, they may be able to beat him.

The lists are fun, but I think it would be sufficient to just have tiers. I want to know which Tigers prospects have a chance to be stars, which have a chance to be starters, which have a chance to make the majors. Those might not be the exact tiers, but something like that. I don't need to see a rank attached to their name. I just want to know which ones to follow most closely.

I was thinking of subscribing a couple of years ago until I saw Emily was the lead Tigers writer. I have nothing against her personally, but I haven't seen any evidence that she has any expertise in scouting.
