    A HOF career ending with "Great, 2 men on.... oh crap, Miggy's up.... hope he strikes out so there's no DP"

    regarding Miguel.... I agree. The org has all kinds of crap planned for him. It's a tough spot. Make him DH, a PH.... bat him ninth..... do something to negate his negative impact. Give him 1 AB a game so he can tip his cap. If they were ever going to cut him they would have after 3000. But they have the Miggy Tracker and the bobbleheads and the ticket packages...

    One thing I keep in mind when trying to get too low is that at this stage of development the goal for this organization is to find out who can play and who can't. It's a minor league team in that sense. You have to give the players the chance to show their work, for better or worse. Given that most of the players are cast offs we know the result won't be good.

    I know I said earlier to not write off DeSantis just yet but I can also forsee him becoming a future punchline for annointed nominees that flamed out. Every cycle seems to o have one.

    If any female is deserving of the C word, it's her and if I ever come in contact with her I will call her that.

    the draft is a crapshoot after the first few picks but development is not. Not every quality ML player was a first round pick. Development is as much of a function of a good organization as picking players. Some orgs have consistently been good at it. That's where Harris has to make his impact. I firmly believe that players arent destined to be good or bad on draft day.

    As a space junkie this is awkward. I was excited for this launch. But seeing Elon there in the control room… and it seems they’ve caused quite a few issues for people around TX. I wish he wasn’t a part of it.

    yeah that will play well with the rest of the country. How conservative. How after a corporation for expression. Their court clearly and explicitly told us corporations have free speech rights so I'll eagerly wait for Alito's pretzel logic when he eventually rules against Disney somehow in this.

    Won't Cruz just say that he's carrying out his job as a Senator based on doubts on the validity of the election? They will argue their vote isn't ceremonial and if they think the vote wasn't valid then they are allowed to do that. Otherwise why else do we let Congress do this?

    I really like Paramount+. I got it a few weeks ago after seeing a clip of something on Youtube of low quality. I noticed it was the Smithsonian Channel so I did some research. They have a lot of good stuff on there. I have the $4 a month with ads. In fact I welcome the ads now because it gives me a chance to get up or whatever. For some reason I'm hesitant to just pause.

    With a name like that I assume Toronto?

    Maybe quicksilvr?

    Works both ways though. Lots of close losses.

    Hopefully the Clintons don’t get to her.

    I saw a tweet that compares his speaking style to the rabbi on Seinfeld.

    and thanks to short sightedness she can't stay in the legislature.

    They should embrace the Lets Go Brandon stuff... but I'm sure it's been trademarked.

    Not that I know of but we had a user named qsilvr who was very much like him and I think Lee thought it was him for a time. He came to one of our games and it wasn't him. At least I don't think so, from my memory of what he looked like. I mean beyond the statistics stuff... the writing style was very very similar in that everything was qualified to some degree.

    it's a half joke. People used to think the latin players didn't like playing in it.

    I love the first round of the NHL playoffs. Always something to watch late at night. I just wish I could stay up late like I used to.

    Were any Kennedy kids relevant? I know Caroline was an embassador but those are just tokens.

    "If it weren't my daughter...." I can just hear his cackle after saying that.
