I am sad I missed out on a lot of the nitty gritty talk last week. I probably won't have much nerd time until after Christmas though 😀

Did Longenhagen's roster crunch post make it in here? https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2025-american-league-40-man-roster-crunch-analysis/ Trevin Michael wasn't on my Rule 5 protection radar.

Atlanta Airport yesterday, there was a mother carrying her baby and a bag rushing to get to her connection using the moving sidewalk in lieu of the train to avoid somebody bumping into her baby. On the moving sidewalk was a woman standing still leaning against one side with her bag intentionally blocking the sidewalk. As I walked by the mother off the moving sidewalk, I shook my head and we shared the same pet peeve at that moment.

I assume people know that MRI's are often used to confirm dementia. It is a very difficult condition to diagnose, and the MRI is the last and most invasive step after ruling several other things out. Or maybe he needs Tommy John...

Hah, I read this between bench press sets.

Oh, I'm not defending him... I'm just saying these people who were still buddy buddy with him later on are scum.

Coming up on year four of the Harris regime and we are still assuming just nine regular position players?

Say what you will about Trump. At least at some point he cut off communication. What about all these other people knowingly palling around with a registered sex offender after 2008? They all look absolutely terrible in these emails.

There is a fascinating thing people here do, and that is projecting their opinion on Scott Harris. e.g. "I think Harris would like (player I like)." It is kinda funny once you see it once, like the beat guys loving on former Tigers.

I thought the timing had to do with the imminent swearing in of the AZ rep.

I think grains of salt need to be taken with any email from Epstein. He's not the most credible person.

That was my #1 nugget gleaned from those emails.

It does, which supports my point.

Delta taking their sweet old time announcing which flights are cancelled Thursday

They tend to skip over the other nine amendments in the Bill of Rights

Social media feeds going algorithm based and raking in ad revenue from pumping rage bait into feeds and sending us to our echo chambers. Twitter's IPO was November 2013. That is around the time the toxic en****ification of social media commenced.

My fiscal conservative roots take over when I hear about things like 50 year mortgages and crypto deregulation. Not for me, but if people want to be stupid and partake, it is their funeral.

Kenny is doing the game, and I wouldn't rule out Marv being in there.

He likes the tax breaks. I watched the first episode, and I think I'm in for the rest. 100% on RT right now too.

Lest I add a parent to this thread, because that is not the point of this thread and those close to me were already aware of that battle (hence my taking some of the jabs at dementia personally in the political threads), but I wanted to share this observation. When you lose a parent the same day as a Vice President dies, it is pretty cool to think the half staffed flags are for your mother.

Dems rejected that proposal because it would result in several people losing health care benefits come January 1.

Minor league free agents hit the transactions log. There are some missing, so I don't necessarily know if that means they are back. I can't easily copy and paste my cross checked list at the moment, but will later.

Apparently? People were taking his Skubal to the Mets idea seriously a couple weeks ago despite the fact that one of the guys he suggested was already traded. Tell tale sign that was a half assed proposal with no more legitimacy of random Twitter dude.
