Rule V update on Liam Hicks: hitting 245 with 1 HR, but allowing 18 steals in 19 attempts don't think they are getting him back from Miami. Nido has surprised, Liranzo and Briceno are rising, but looks like a small error to not protect Hicks (nice return for Kelly, Hicks and Tyler Owens)

none of those guys are important enough or hot enough to demand a bump. Trei Cruz is on his 4th season at Erie; he has 0 HRs in 56 at ABs; not sure why he must go to Toledo. this is all driven by the Clark/Briceno/McGonigle timeline. when they go to Erie (June 1? July 1 for McGonigle?), the other dominos will get moved accordingly

if they ever get to full strength (or almost full strength as every team has injuries) they could be really, really good

Boom. Boss man pre-emptively surrenders to China!

same. you would think he would at least starting jacking up 3s

seems like a very Harris-like win - 7 BBs and 5 Ks, only singles for non-Zach McMvp batters

ugly, physical games benefit the Pistons. if they they hit 30% on threes, it would have been a blowout

correct. he's dead. in 2019, the immigration judge had a hearing and determined Garcia qualified under US law for a hold on any deportation because he faced danger from MS13 - who unsuccessfully recruited him - if he was returned home. Trump sent him to a slave prison controlled by MS13. Of course he's dead. At least I hope he is, because the alternative is even more horrifying.

hiring private contractors who will meet pre-defined quotas to identify X% of immigrants as "gang members" is vital to the (now) international for-profit prison scam, which only works if you are sending enough people to prison

it's coming sooner rather than later no one will stop them

everyday is just one more big step towards fascism. and MAGA will never pay a price for any of this.

2 hits in 2 days does not seem to be very many hits per day

when do we get out OF of Greene-Meadows-Veirling?

as more comes out about the press conference, it is clear the entire Dallas organization is suffering from some sort of collective delusion and/or carbon monoxide poisoning also they all believe the "organizations win championships, not players" insanity. Yikes!

John Roberts told Trump everything he does is legal - so Trump is doing every illegal thing he can think of

Donald Trump is the most successful businessman in the history of America, if not the most successful businessman in the entirety of human history. There was an entire TV show about it. He knows more about everything than anybody.

Yankees have paid CB tax 9 of past 11 years, and will do so again in 2025. they purposefully tried to reset tax in 2018 and 2021 and that worked, but now they are tax payers for the foreseeable future.

trying not to get too amped about this team, but it's not working! if they ever get healthy, they have a chance to be even better, when they replace Nido, Kreidler, Margot with Jake, Vierling, Meadows that even leaves Malloy, Perez, Jung at Toledo they aren't top heavy like the DD teams, which is both good and bad not having room for all these solid/legit players is a nice problem to have

I think it is likely a few BLM and Antifa and pro-Palestine "leaders" are picked up under Terrorist or Wartime statutes and sent immediately to slave prisons - even though they are Americans and really, that's all you need to do, to get people to shut up and not object to all the lawlessness.

he's going to grab some dark Americans he does not like and ship them to the slave prison, and congress and the courts will do nothing. what a sh\thole country.

this is a few years old, but hits on a lot of issues. one thing I will add is that it is cruel to say to some poor people, who may be food insecure and not know when there next "big" calorie dense meal will be, "eat fewer calories, it will better for you in the long run." that is true, but for many it is about survival and hunger. to a well-off person who knows that there will be 21 meals a week, that's an easier, more reasonable ask. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/08/31/1120004717/the-u-s-diet-is-deadly-here-are-7-ideas-to-get-americans-eating-healthier

they got a real shot. if they can steal Game 1, I actually think they will advance. 2 regular season wins in MSG hopefully means something. Brunson did what he wanted first 3 match-ups. Game 1: loss in Detroit; early season rout before Piston figured who they were https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401704700 Game 2: win in NY; Cade triple double, no KAT, Pistons shoot 50% on 3s https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401704909 Game 3: win in NY; Cade 36; NYK full strength, one of the better wins this season https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401705115 Game 4: win in Detroit; Cade 36; Pistons shoot 58% from the field, already could see this playoff pairing https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401705733

Trump is having his physical today. Will be obese, obviously. Hopefully they give him another cognitive test so he can brag about identifying a giraffe, and MAGA will swoon. We never got an explanation why he was rushed to Walter Reed at midnight his first term - WH said it was routine and press could not be bothered to inquire further.
