The Feds were slow to raise the rates. Now, they are being slow to lower them. Is Scott Harris in charge?

Every time I see a poll with Harris vs Trump and then Harris vs Trump vs Kennedy, etc., Harris does better on the poll with more than two candidates. It appears that Kennedy hurts Trump more than Harris.

That may have been the most embarrassing typo in forum history.

Career OPS+ Leaders Ruth 206 Williams 191 Charleston 184 Bonds 182 Gehrig 179 Stearnes 177 Hornsby 175 Trout 173 Mantle 172 That is legend territoty.

Pucket was a great player. Trump has been a completely different level of player.

There a lots of questiona marks with the line-up, but they were playing close to .500 ball with a garbage line-up for most of this season. Maybe Carpenter stays healthy all year. Maybe Jung, Malloy or Dingler will hit. Try out Meadows and Torkelson again. Vierling, Perez and Ibanez are coming back. I want them to try to be the team that breaks out and surprise everyone. Of course, they could not even try to win and sit around and lose 90+ games for the next three years until all of Harris's draft picks are ready, but I prefer that they try to do something.

I thought I would be able to find someone with similar numbers who did not make it, but there wasn't really anybody. The closest were Suzuki (who will make it next year), Manny Ramirez (PEDs), George VanHaltren (played mostly in 1800s).

Never mind first ballot, Stanton is not a Hall of Famer at this point. I agree with Chas that he'll need a few more good healthy years to get in and that seems unlikely given his age and injury history.

Trout is a first ballot Hall of Famer right now. The voters are more sophisticated than they were 20 years ago. They know he's one of the all-time greats. Kirby Pucket was a short career first ballot guy and he is not even close to Trout.

I think Rob Miller is Sportz.

Is this the bold predictions thread?

Even the good ones don't generally have high success rates in trading proven players for prospects at the deadline though. It's better to get something than nothing, but the teams receiving the proven players usually have the upper hand.

"It shows that she is a phony just like all the lefties. That's what I like about Trump. He is honest and straightforward. He's not a politician. People just hate him because he posts mean tweets."

I don't want to see an "evaluation year". They've been doing that for like 7 years now. I want to see a competive team. They can be reasonably competitive and continue to develop young players at the same time. Skubal, Olson, Jobe, another signing like Flaherty/Lorenzon plus Mize makes a solid front five. There are always relievers available, add a couple of secondary bats and try to win. If it's not working at the deadlinem then call it an evaluation season.

I am interested.

Because he's easy to manipulate.

I always thought that the end of the Trump era would be when people just get tired of him.

yeah, Anderson was "Captain Hook", but his 85 and 86 teams underachieved.

She graduated from Howard University. I doubt she would have gone there if she didn't identify as Black. Her mother was from India, so she surely identifies as Indian too. There are millions of biracial people in this country who don't choose one race as their identity.

He was viewed as brilliant in 2006, but not as much after that. I recall him being viewed as someone who was tough but knew and cared about his players much like Anderson.

I remember Stan said he didn't like ice cream.

Yes, they are very impressive, but I wouldn't want the Tigers to emulate them too much for two reasons: (1) No other team has been able to do what they do (2) It wouldn't be that much fun to follow a team with no roster continuity.

So, they had three of the greatest athletes this century. They let one walk, traded another for very little return and signed the wrong one long term.

I have no problem with the collection of moves made at the deadline. However, the moves were made because this season has been a failure as have the last several sesons. I am not blaming Harris for that, but I do appreciate the honesty from the Toronto GM: https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/ross-atkins-apologizes-blue-jays-fans

You are not turning any Trumpers. None of them. You need to boost turnout. I don't understand what moves the masses, but getting more people to vote should be be the strategy.
