they are playing 500 ball recently but running away from the other 3 team that are simultaneously cratering. today is gravy with Skubal going Sunday.

yesterday's bill directed target multiple core Tesla's business lines. it is not just the 7,500 EV credit; the new fines for automakers not meeting cafe standards is $0.00 Tesla made MORE selling cafe credits than it did selling cars last quarter; are other companies really going to spend millions to avoid a fine of zero? i think the Tesla board might have to remove the guy who just spent over $250,000,000 of his own money to get a guy elected who promised to destroy the EV industry, and is now doing so - any other CEO would be bounced for that the irrational exuberance that has surrounded Tesla is breaking IMHO

as overrated as your guy Cale Iorg? that overrated?

yes please. i just get the feeling prep SS are what they want; maybe they have the $$$ to maybe force Cunningham, Hall or Pierce to fall all the way to 24? or maybe they luck out and it happens naturally. in addition to questioning his SS future, McGongil was dinged a bit as an older prep player, and that is hurting Cunningham a bit too

I would take a run at LHR Dylan Lee of Atlanta. Assuming Braves are still competing, could offer Montero to help their rotation if Olson and SGL are back.

Sweeney and Liranzo for Bednar. That was the cost for the Dodgers for 2 months for Jack. Both have elevated their profiles since, so can you get 2 months + 1 year of Bednar for that same duo?

if there was a package of crap like this that Harris could send to Sacramento to get Miller, he would have already made the trade. I would do Clark and Hamm for Miller

Team Harris has won just about every trade with the Tigers. But they have never been buyers - at least not with the Tigers - so I hope the winning streak continues. I think they acquire 2 impact pitchers to maximize the Skubal window. One of the Big 5 (at least) is moved.

when (probably if) Dems are ever back in the White House, I think they will try (yet again) to help rural communities, like they have been for decades, and those communities will despise them for it and vote harder for MAGA

wife just ran Washington Post calculator, if this passes we will make $19K more while the MAGA poors pay more

i hate to invoke Joe again, but acquiring any talent because you want to acquire any talent is a bad idea, and very Dumars like

Corporate Media LOVES Donald Trump, part 743. CBS just paid Trump a $16M bribe to get approval for the SkyDance/Paramount merger. There will be multiple shareholder lawsuits, really some shareholder just go to court today to get an injunction. Also, need a state attorney general to file bribery charges against anyone at CBS involved in this. But I am well aware, nothing will happen.

always a good sign when fans are asking, When is the earliest they can trade their big free agent signing? btw, when is the earliest they can trade Robinson?

for-profit prisons need to make money; ignoring the income stream from slave labor would be a violation of fiduciary duties to their shareholders to maximize profits

Guerschon Yabusele, 2/12 from the NYK, but Langdon is pissing away 5M on Paul Reed ;(

Monk and LaVert are redundant, giving you much of what Ivey does, so adding both might make them a more talented team but not necessarily better i hate to say it, but getting Monk (and Robinson?!?) after adding LaVert feels like a very Dumars-like move, where Joe always felt he add to be adding regardless of need still, i am super excited about the young core and would rather rely on internal growth than add guys who are awkward fits

I'm going to say that if Harris made any offer for Hayes, it would be accepted immediately. He's really horrible at the plate; multiple back injuries have robbed him of the below average power he did have; he is at Baez level from last year, 62 RC+. Owed $36 million over the next 4 years to give you great defense and nothing else. Rather spend that money on a BP arm. Hard pass unless the elite D holds some special lure for Harris and AJ.

not sure if they have co-ed prisons, but maybe he gets on the same chain gang as Nikki Haley and Usha Vance? that could be exciting!

multiple nationwide injunctions OK for Biden, but not for our Orange God. that's the whole decision.

we all know Trump/MAGA can find a new low, but this pretty effing low. the combination of nihilism, anti-intellectualism, lying, and grifting is corrosive, and is causing destruction of decency/law/norms/constitution that will be impossible for our grandchildren to fix.

his punishment for sex with a minor is that he cannot have sex with a minor for 2 years?

well that is the same argument that has been made since forever and since 2009 - we cannot increase the minimum wage because it would destroy the economy and cause massive inflation, so, while corporate profits and executive pay soar, you need to keep working for the same minimum wage that is now OLDER than Uber and Instagram. NYC's will be $17 next year, so it would take a few years to get to $30

i've been one of those zombies. 12:01 and doors aren't open!
