HR 6192 - the HOOHAA bill - very important people!

two more for sure - Alito and Thomas would definitely retire under Trump so he could appoint a pair of 45-year old MAGA freaks. and maybe 3 if Sotomayor dies that would bring the total to 5 - maybe 6 - Supreme Court justices appointed by Trump add John Roberts and the 6-3 (or 7-2) court would roll back everything until it is the 1950s Obergefell would be first case they would overturn. Then Miranda. Then Sullivan.

the mom here is serving 21 months; now assistant principal charged as well

for the OCD people out there, good news yesterday - we get a couple of these a year - a clean sweep as all 4 affiliates played and won, as did the Tigers

sometimes you win; sometimes you lose; sometimes for no reason the other team gifts you a win you don't deserve

weird that Sands and Faedo were brought to PIttsburgh in preparation for ERod/Rogers trade to LAD; and now Perez is going this year; maybe its a game time decision?

will take them 50+ innings to score 7 runs, so this one is in the books

does he face this line-up 32 times? if so, then yes

Skubal shoving; Tork doubling; Greene driving him home; just like Al Avila drew it up

if this was a football team, the defense would be loading bars of soap into socks pretty soon

getting dominated by Butto and Garrett - not a good sign

Not yet

woooooooooo!

doubt the warm weather is going to be a cure-all for this offense.

the WCK story is horrific; some of them were bombed 3 times, moving first to a 2nd car and then to a 3rd, with the 3rd strike killing all who lived through first 2. all wars kill civilians; how many weddings have we droned striked? i have lost count. not sure this a new chapter in this mess, or just more death on top of more death

to me, it sounds like Madden is likely going to be another developmental success story for the Tigers; they reworked his delivery and pitches; looks like he will be a ML contributor either at the back of the rotation or in the bullpen.

on a personal level, I am mentally preparing myself for a Trump victory this November. for my own mental health, I need to do that. financially, he will probably be good (maybe very good) for me. "there's no way he can win" feels very familiar, much like 2016. i am naïve enough to think that people will ultimately reject him, but even if that happens, it will be by the slimmest of margins

try for two on Thursday?

will be a Flying Tiger; 6-8, 280; 25 next month; literally a man among boys

Lakeland set: Briceno, McGonigle and Clark will start there; pitching thin until HS arms move up from rookie ball. One oddity: Tigers start seasons with 5 position players on IL; all are catchers.

wonder what Cahna thinks of Tiger's hitting approach - advice - tech

was the B team today for position players: Vilade, Madris, Benboom and Kennedy. but Hurter and Wilmer did not have great AAA debut

Mets are going to be testy after Brewers and Hoskins swept them. Should at least get Monday's game in.

Mattison out for the year; TJ surgery 2 weeks ago

4th best prospect at Erie after Jobe-Madden-Melton? might be Lee or Lockheart or Wolf, or Workman if you believe in miracle turnarounds. Yikes, that's bad. Best prospects at WMI? If not Anderson, its Smith and Graham who have shown little/been injured. Yikes, that's worse. Santana's 3rd year at Lakeland? Not good And no idea who these catchers are: Stephen Scott (Erie) and Jose Sibrian (WMI). 1984 is right - if you perform, no one is blocking you at the next level.
