what was that about making 'X' the free speech platform. ROTFL. Zuckerberg is probably high-fiving around the office on this news. Expect Trump soon to be selling gold spray painted Teslas on Truth Social.

bottom line we are a worse MLB team as of 6:00pm than we were this morning and no-one brought on board has a high probability of making any MLB impact. Now TBH, they were going to be worse once Flahery left at the end of the season anyway, but I'm not sure anything in these returns is necessarily better than a comp pick. Like I said before, teams like the Tigers end up persuading themselves they have to make these trades while the buying teams laugh all the way to the playoffs.

Yeah - if you don't get it some tuna it's going free agency.

One for two ain't bad.....

and they were right.

One has to assume Netanyahu has gamed out his options and if Harris looks like the likely winner, he will probably make a deal on Gaza and the show up back in DC as a peacemaker the new Admin can love again.

By the last numbers I saw Threads wasn't doing much in the US but was still growing overall around the rest of the world.

maybe they are waiting to be sure Chafin agrees to report before putting the other name out there....🤷‍♀️

Be still my beating heart - too much to expect.

Stop being reasonable, we have less to two more hours to be silly.

Maybe it will come right after Donnie decides he loves electric cars?

OK, though after only one previous season we don't really have 'normal' down yet.

Rebranding is the keyword.

must be something bigger in the works to merit that?

Vlad has been known to expound about the degeneracy of western society using acceptance of LGBT rights as his theme, while holding Russia up as true successor and protector of the Orthodox leadership mantle.

Somehow I don't think he is going to be pleased. I think Dickerson said the other day he actually drives home to the farm during home stands.

Am I allowed to WEIRD again?

Flemish Giant?

That may be inevitable if Flaherty goes today. Say anything you want about the long term value, but short term the odds are very high team morale goes in the tank and they stumble/bumble their way to Oct like they did in 17' after they cleaned house.

he has 24 total bases with the bat so far in the last 2 series against the Tigers - against 2 BB. If you don't know how to get a guy out, stop worrying about walking him.

why is boxing even still a sanctioned sport for anyone?

So what does this tell us? I take it to mean that the teams trying to build are getting caught up in their own false sense of imperative to make trades in markets where the buyers are not offering fair return value.

Conservative economists used to love to point to the Kennedy cuts, but marginal rates were in the 80-90% range then, that's a very different environment. Everything in economics is relative. Not all comparisons drawn are actually comparable. Knowing the difference matters. A couple of years ago, lots of smart people were convinced that interest rates going to 5% were going to crash the economy. They were wrong because they were looking at previous times rates had gone up by that percentage like in the 80's when they hit double digits - but that's the wrong comparison. They were ignoring that the 5% increase was starting from zero and investment decisions are not made based on how much interest rates have changed, but on their absolute value, and at 5% lots of potential investments were still profitable enough to keep the economy perking.

exactly. But if they don't move him it better be because they have the outline of a deal in place to extend him.

Damn, out of likes!
