GOP business deregulation.

Yeah and I think Ross or some such underwrote part of Harbaugh's original deal as well. The argument is "Well it's fine, the money is not coming from the Chemistry/English/Art Dept." But how true is that, really? If you have a big bank roll donor maybe he would have given it to the chemistry dept if that's what you had asked for. Sure there are going to be some guys who have a big sports thing, but I think the idea that somehow these deals are all 'free' money is an overstatement at best. There is some varying level of donor 'opportunity cost' with each one. Maybe less than most in this case but who really knows?

this is a family forum right? Maybe not.

IDK, I think it's not necessarily better when it's 'fluke' injuries accumulating around a player. I guess you have to analyze each one individually but that kind of thing can indicate a certain lack of body consciousness or recklessness as well and that can be just a bad as actually being physically fragile. It's just really hard to know. A guy whose never been hurt can be done tomorrow, but guess if it were my money he's still the guy I'd prefer - if I have a choice.

10yr/$95M reported. Good for him Hope he doesn't end up 9-4.

Along this line, I won't be surprised to see Seager signed 1st.

Maybe then, I'll fade away And not have to face the facts It's not easy facing up When your whole world is black

Fister for Ray was good trade. The impatience with Ray resulted in an overal loss of roster capital.

there was a time losing your committee assignments would have made you dead meat against an opponent from either other party or your own because you wouldn't have any legislative work to show, but in a party where legislating is no longer even remotely the point, you are correct.

Zing!

Right now I guess it's bad enough everywhere, but the core of the early dissatisfaction with the state was that conditions in the counties across the state were wildly different - I guess meaning the county health depts should be taking the lead. Do MI county depts of health have that kind of authority?

I count 7 guys on the 40 today I don't think would be losses so I'd be willing to protect some new guys.

Wentz was lights out when the showed up at Erie in 2019. It was only a handful of games but he dominated so that got people charged up. In his come back from TJ he was putting up good BA against but still hadn't gotten his walk rate back down where it needs to be as the season ended. But command is the usually the last thing that comes back, so we'll see.

so Boyle is ahead of Blough on the depth chart? How do they even tell them apart? They seem to be the same guy.

you'd get a glaring disparity between the international players and the domestic college players. Although OTOH for the same reason it might make a lot of guys more interested in going to the minors at 18 instead of college. Don't really know if that's good or bad but it could be a reversal of the trend.

Kind of funny looking actually. Holds his torso very straight up - but sure, no excess moving parts.

Bertuzzi next in 3..2..

and one that all the baby boomer couch potatoes remember for stealing their quarters at that.....

Epic level of Oblivion

No question - he could come out flat ST and they leave him in Toledo to ripen, but if so it's not going to be based on the way he finished in '21.

Really, how do you figure, the HRs were in 4 different games, a double was in another different game, and they walked him twice the one night he didn't have a hit

are we reading the same data? From 9/23 forward, in 9 games I see 6BB, 2 singles, 4 doubles and 4 HR and a 9 game on base streak. That's out of steam? Struggles at the end?

I've been leaning toward hoping for Story.

I find myself with very mixed feelings about this!

Very curious what this Board is going to do with his replacement search.
