CJ with the same thoughts. He clocks the final at bat. If someone thinks this needs improving then I am not sure the they are baseball fan and why are we making rules for non baseball fan. There's a middle ground somewhere in all of this.

and it makes me sad to think of how he died.

It was so fun to watch. I wonder how it feels to the players? The US players looked dejected and the damn season hasn't started yet. And we watched all of that without a pitch clock. Yes I'm beating that drum still. I am close to saying I don't like it.

I got Fidrych's autograph at Gibralter one year. They were free. Very long line and it wasn't moving fast. Once I got up there I realized why. The guy was so friendly and was talking to everyone like it was a cousin he hadn't seen in 7 years. This was before camera phones so I can imagine how long that would have been if everybody wanted a picture.

That's exactly how he became President. He's a genius marketer. He knows precisely the buttons to push. But I think it's for naught now. Most people are tired of it all and want it to go away. I have a family member I use to guage that. He didnt like Trump but was like "what can it hurt? The rest of them are crooked, lets get an outsider in there". Now he's said just what I did. Enough already.

I think they should be randomly dispersed throughout the 50 states in the middle of a field along an interstate.... like the giant Jesus on 75 just outside of Toledo.

I remember reading about those....

Maybe they are those people who aren't quite one "hand" over another? Good enough to make it to the ML of course. My son is left handed but sometimes with things he's not sure..... I gave him a golf club and he said hitting LH didnt feel right but RH didn't either. Of course it's golf so.....

And they didn’t need a pitch clock to do it.

That’s better than mullet presidents

My son was doing all the marches and protests here that summer. Even got arrested. I thought “I got myself an activist here”. Hasn’t really done much since. Looking back I realized he hadn’t been with his friends for 3 months. Never left the house. But here in June it’s nice out. They had an excuse to be together. He still believes in the cause.

these people are too lazy. I think both the George Floyd protests and the Jan 6 were in large part just pent up frustration from people being locked down. Not saying they were not passionate about their beliefs but the need to congregate was as much about just getting out as it was the issue itself. Trump is old news now to many people. They're not going to disrupt their lives to go protest in NYC. You might get a handful of people but we won't see riots or anything. That will disappoint him more than being arrested and charged.

Happy first day of spring

For the evangelical crowd is just showed their hypocrisy. Regardless of whether a crime was committed the dude had an affair with a porn star. That should have been enough.

He made fun of me because I suggested Scherzer might be sent to Toledo after a bad game against Boston to work some things out... Papi hit one out in the statues. I was lectured that a smart org would not do that and the Tigers are smart. Overnight Scherzer was sent to AAA.

I’m skeptical of the Iran thing if it involves Connally. I saw some tweets about it basically laying out his ineptitude and the fact people he knew in the ME were no friends to the new folks in Iran.

Get ready for the worst possible take on that.

That’s how I see it. I don’t think desantis will play well on a national stage. He ran against a weak candidate for re-election. He’s small in stature and has a whiny voice and doesn’t talk to unfriendly media. He’s in a bubble. I don’t think “make America Florida” means what he is he thinks it will. Maybe Nikki Haley can thread that needle.

Handcuffs is probably a long shot. I say that because of secret service issues. Granted they don’t work for him they work for homeland security and he’s a protectee.

People are digging up her old tweets.

That was enjoyable to listen to. Discussions on secret service arrangements. Makes sense because they have to be with him at all times. Obviously he won’t sit in a cell but even a mugshot and knowing he was fingerprinted is almost as good as anything else.

At the very least you can ask the panel of GOP candidates in Iowa if Putin is a war criminal. Get them on record.

I think you'd like the book. Now that you are retired I say give it a try. It's long. He goes back a number of years earlier than in the series so there's a lot of things to work out, and he made more than one trip. If you like time travel it's a no brainer. It was the first King book I ever read.

absolutely in fact King addresses that explicitly both in the book's story, in a round about way, and in an essay. Talks about the butterfly effect and so many things had to go right with regard to a conspiracy and as you can see with his examples something as simple as a traffic light can change history.
