Legend in his own mind.

I would guess mostly the oligarch owners. The kind of noblesse oblige that drove old money people like Katherine Graham to run a liberal newpaper is more than ever the exception to the rule (for which I do give Bezos some credit at WaPO). We are 30 years into the internet and the newspaper business still is searching for a workable business model.

While it wasn't that unusual in ' 72, guys like Earl Morrell as backups are pretty rare in today's league. Most backups tend to inexperienced guys. Quarterbacks as good as Morrell would have gotten too expensive to have as backups in today's NFL. They either still have their starting gig or they made enough to retire....

Someday you can tell your grandchildren how you survived the great stock market crash of Aug 5 2024 because your internet happened to go down for 48 hrs and you just missed it. anyway, the market has already ordained that the Fed is going to cut 50 pts in Sept. But if initial unemployment claims stay low they just might not.

What does it tell us that the most celebrated song writer of one era was writing that, while the most celebrated song writer of this era writes about bad boyfriends? Of course today Dylan claims he never meant anything by it. He'll tell you he was just stringing some words together.

there is an art to getting your glove turned around to open upward on a dive that even many major leaguers never fully master. For a master class lesson see Parker's nab of that sinking liner the other night where the fingers of his gloves were literally on the ground - glove open upward, as ball landed on/in them for the out.

Vest is the proof that 98 doesn’t matter if you can’t get ahead.

He doesn't impress as much of a fielder. On almost every fly he catches he has to make a last second lunge.

well that sucks

Hinch could have moved Vierling to the OF. Could have started Perez in the OF.

Lugnuts are getting a little loose here. .....Sammons gets away clean.

Tigers still hanging around in this one - waiting to be no-hit I guess.

and people still think Colt can't play 2B?

Cult figure, charlatan, same difference. If you bought Tesla on the 1st day of trading in 2021, you've lost 17% of your investment, S&P up 43 % over the same interval.

Casey throws 35 pitches. 7 outs, 0R 3H 2K 1BB

Bozeman seems to still be go. Events in NC today were cancelled due to weather.

Mize gives up hits to his 1st two batters, follows up with a DP and a K. FB @ 96

NCAA is an ossified, obsolete, unworkable organization. Jim Harbaugh is a whack job (even if he can coach football). A match made in media heaven.

She could do a townhall on Fox just fine, but not agree to be a spectator at a Trump rally, which is what the odds on probability a Fox debate with Trump would be.

Keep everything short

QFT

He had a rough night last night 0/5 4K. One AB really encapsulated it. Spit on a 1st pitch middle-middle hanging slider for strike one, then K'd on two perfect pitches on the corners. I don't know what he may be working on mechanics wise, but approach wise the struggle to pull the trigger when the needs to continues.

Yeah - you have to have trauma to have PTSD. A narcissist isn't traumatized because someone near him died - Trump has barely even acknowledged Comperatore's death. And his own injury was pretty trivial. A person who though deeply about his own life might take stock after a near death chance, but do we think Trump thinks deeply about anything (other than money)? I could see him dropping the experience into the same bucket as a car running a red light and near missing you. Logically you process that you might have been killed but it's still not (for most people) particularly traumatic. I could see him having a perfectly reasonable increased reluctance to put himself at risk again, but I wouldn't call that PTSD because it's a completely rational fear that every national campaigner has to evaluate and keep evaluating when they run. I think in this case the Ocam's razor answer is that he doesn't have the stamina to campaign full time -- and knows that if he tries there will be too much campaign video fodder generated for the other side.

Immigration will still play in AZ and TX and with white nationalist trenders, but in most of the rest of the country, everyone is going to work at someplace that has a help wanted sign out. It's a lot easier to get Americans worked up about immigration when there is high unemployment or at least fear of it. When Trump ran his 1st campaign, unemployment had fallen, but the memory of high unemployment was fresh and wages were seriously depressed. It may still be the GOP's best issue, but it's not going the get the traction it did 8 years ago, esp with any voter aware enough to know that Trump personally killed a reform bill.

Since his recall from Toledo Parker has played in 6 games and has 10 hits.
