They meant nothing to you when Bannon was involved, now you think their great because "OLD MAN BAD" Strange how partisan politics work and how people are led around by their party.

Exactly

Gotta be honest, if my kids were attending that elementary, I wouldn't give a flying **** about "both sides"

There's probably been no bigger destroyer of hegemony for Oakland County Republicans than Donald Trump lol

As I've said before, for as in the tank as he seems to be for the Russian regime, I hope he's being well compensated for it.... it'd be pitiful otherwise.

Someone's projecting.... lol

Maybe your celebration was premature?

Honest to God, I didn't actually realize that it was only one GD hit until looking at the box score, so it probably matches my real time reaction lol

I thought the conversation about Austin Hedges that DD and Dirks had was interesting.... the double in this game aside, he's an atrocious hitter, but he plays a position (catcher) where you can tolerate that performance. Schoop and Maton, particularly Schoop given the fact that he's a short timer anyway, don't really have that luxury.... we can talk about how there aren't any options, but eventually they will make other options if performance at the dish does not improve.

I mean, there's four guys on this roster aside from Schoop who can play a competent second base at the moment, so whoever theoretically gets called up or selected doesn't have to be a second baseman

Made an addendum for ya

The other figure that looms large with that trade is Jeimer Candelario - the org clearly didn't prioritize Paredes, but also Candelario had a great 2021 playing 3B (same primary position as Paredes) and was seen as an extension candidate going into 2022. And the org essentially voted for Candelario with that trade over Paredes imo. And we've seen how all that has turned out.

There's CNN's take on the Durham Investigation.... apparently good enough for RNC Research lol

Alternate theory: maybe Americans outside of your bubble have more nuanced views than "OLD MAN BAD" on all of these things?

The biggest red flag with Florida, even more than some of the issues in Miami-Dade (although that is related), is the state Democratic Party, at least up until recently, has been one of the worst run in the country. When you add that to the overall size and scope of the state, and the amount of money it takes to compete there, the simple CBA would suggest that money earmarked to Florida would probably be better spent in AZ/WI/MI/PA/GA/NC, or even TX for that matter, until they can prove more competent and driving turnout and marketing themselves to various constituencies in the state.

We are currently getting an education in this given that we will soon be moving up to the Chicago suburbs (it was time to come back up north for a variety of reasons).... and really it's not just Aurora, it seems like every surrounding suburb (ie. Bolingbrook, Lisle, Warrenville) wants a piece of Naperville. School District Boundaries have a lot to do with this.... decent sized chunks of Aurora and Bolingbrook, for whatever reason, filter into District 204, which also serve decent chunks of Naperville as well.

Somebody please provide Mr. Caldwell with a map lol

I'll leave the Jacksonville resident poster to get into the particulars, but certainly it seems like a proxy loss by default for Meatball Ron...

Thought the trade made sense at the time, so no point in creating an alternate history where that wasn't the case. Either way, as Randy suggests, I have zero confidence that he'd be doing this well if he were still a Tiger. So to the extent that I care, I'm glad he ended up somewhere where he could succeed

Lordy, the Oakland Athletics... they are tracking with the 2003 Tigers at the moment.

Glad we got the Pirates in May..... little league inning so far in the fourth lol

And now a double... single away from the cycle with two homers!
