Haase's power is legit, but I doubt he'll ever get on base enough where you'll him to get more than 200 PA. He is OK as a backup.

I doubt I'll get a booster before the fall unless my school makes me get one which is a distinct possibility. I envision annual boosters each fall which might be combined with the flu vaccine.

I have seen no signs of dementia in Biden. I don't remember Reagan showing signs of dementia while in office either. Maybe Trump! But I think his mental health problems are something other than dementia. They were all pretty old to be in a position which requires a lot of energy, endurance and a high level of mental alertness. Ideally, we should be electing younger leaders with elders in more advisory roles.

I think they are both good bets to be at least average hitters at their positions. Greene is supposed to be more ready at this time, but I don't have an opinion as to which one has a better chance to be star long term. My bold prediction is that Torkelson will be better, but that is based on nothing.

I don't think they'll flop, but I think if we expect both of them to be stars, we will probabably be disappointed. If one becomes an all-star and other becomes a good regular long term, we should probably be happy. As you say, injuries are always a risk too.

I've always liked Tangerine Mussolini. Perhaps the only good thing about Trump is that you can always trash him without a shred of guilt because he has zero respect for anyone. Whatever you say about him, you know that he has said worse things about others practically every day.

This ranks among the funniest posts anyone has ever written in this forum.

The Cardinals have 15 runs in the 8th inning. They are still up with a 28-4 lead.

yes!

He could do that coming up on May1! I am fully expecting him to be their opening day center fielder.

Why do they have a huge advantage over the Tigers? The Cardinals are not in a big market. They consistently get good attendance because they have been a smart franchise for a long time. The Giants are in a bigger market area, but they share that with the Athletics. The Tigers are not the Yankees, but they aren't the Marlins either.

It's do-able. FanGraphs is projecting: Torkelson 2.6 Greene 2.5 It's really hard to project rookies and either one of them might bomb, but I think the projections are very attainable.

Re-building does not require a team to be totally anemic for five years.

Henning did say today that Torkelson/Greene will add more than Verlander/Zumaya.

I know one guy who whenever I tell him sonething is not true, he'll immediately send me a link from a MAGA site telling that it is. I tell him his source sucks and then he sends me an equally stupid link from another terrible site. He's a nice guy though as long as he's not talking politics.

He was actually looking for a reason to mock her and that's the sound bite he was given which may be what you are saying.

Every president puts America first. The America First thing is just a shallow Republican talking point.

They have heard the term "social construct". They don't know what it means, but it's a triggering phrase based on who uses it.

Blackburn's base was going to get fired up no matter how the question was answered which is why she asked the question.

I know. I was being sarcastic. I have a MAGA friend who was up in arms about her response.

But she doesn't know what a woman is.

They were a nothing team for five years. For those five years they were a failure. Those five years are part of their history and they were a loser team for five years. I am willing to put that in the rear view mirror and look forward, but it's not a strategy I want to see again in the future.

Orgies in Washington! Who invited Cawthorn to the orgies? My first guess is Matt Gaetz.

You didn't know that already? Maybe he is reaching that final stage of trolldom - when people stop paying attention to him and he desperately takes it to another level.

So pathetic.
