good point. this is yet another reason we are probably doomed to a slow dismantling of a functioning USA. Social media memes are more important than actual legislating. People literally want a sick burn more than actaul public policy from their politicians.

not much to see; he talked for 15 seconds, the rest of the guys kept some distance. he left and Lange looked a bit puzzled

HInch does not even make a top 20 list of problems with this team

she is still the best VP candidate for Dump - attracks some normals

took a while for the Tigers approach to take root, but now Canha is fully on board with controlling the zone

closer to last place CWS than the first place Clevelanders - sounds about right

yep. people made fun of them for (gasp) trying to get better last winter. imagine how completely crazy it is that front offices have to defend their choices to try to improve their teams.

replacing Biden with a younger candidate does not change this disconnect with reality https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/22/poll-economy-recession-biden

14 players from the LAD 2016 draft made the majors, plus 3 more who did not sign; that's a genius draft move

DD is a pretty great GM He has the Phillies at a MLB-best 35-14, a .714 winning % An April poll in The Athletic had Philly with the 11th best front office (Det 14)

Keith batting .386 in May - that's pretty good

this is over the top as well. CC guy who will not get any pro at bats for almost 2 years after being drafted. but a possible "steal". Oh Lynn. Brady Cerkownyk, who seemed on the way to becoming a heavy-hitting catcher and potential steal from last July’s draft (15th round), will be mending for the remainder of 2024 and into 2025 after having Tommy John surgery. Cerkownyk is a Canada native who played last year at Connors State College.

the Trump movie includes his rape of Ivana. doubt it will move the needle, but yet another reminder that he's a rapist

Nacua was the 20th (!) WR taken. How does a guy like that last until the 177th pick? if he was at a bigger school/conference, I wonder if he would have been overlooked. Everyone passed on him multiple times. Just amazing production. obviously, having Stafford as your QB does not hurt.

.

so MN GQP is running Royce White, the former NBA player with a long history of mental issues and legal problems, against Klobuchar for Senate. Makes Hershall Walker look sane.

is Brad really going to go with this group at WR? Reynolds is a loss, not a huge loss, but still a loss. You are asking Jamo to step up and then someone else to step up into his spot. I guess when you include LaPorta and Gibbs, the options are pretty good.

one thing that might get Harris in trouble with Ilitch is if Javy is cut and goes elsewhere and rebounds to a 75 OPS+ level. Ilitch would be pissed to pay 75M for that.

Baez has, by far, a career low K rate this year; Harris must be thrilled

Bobo's son is in court again today telling judge he is indigent and needs Colorado to pay for his defense. Bobo is in court today as well - in NY, supporting Trump in his porn trial. Come January, we won't see her again unless you watch OAN or LindellTV.

internally, there is zero help coming for C or SS. 1b, 2b, 3b might be solved by internal candidates, or at least find an almost average bat, but Tork's ceiling is getting lower each week. for whatever reason, OFs are performing. lots of teams are scuffling that did not expect to be, so maybe there is a trade to be made sooner rather than later, if Harris and Greenberg can tolerate some actual risk

bring back Lloyd McClendon!

the spread here is pretty wide: could be 2, or even 3 starters + a bench guy; or could be jack s***; only given is Cabrera is toast
