Miggy is getting painful to watch

Honestly not even sure why they had Haase moving when he got on as well... shouldn't be running into outs against a pitcher who cannot throw strikes

And Wolfie bails them out... finally something good happens lol

Infuriating

His ties to the general area, being from FW, playing at CMU, etc. all make it crazier that the trade was trashed as much as it was. Should be a natural to root for for Tiger fans

Totally, Tork gets far more skepticism because of last year, but he seems a lot less concerning at the moment than Greene does. At a minimum, Tork is at least hitting and pulling fastballs and making some hard contact. Greene has a good approach and is promising in a lot of respects, but the inability to pull any fastballs, along with the Ks and the high groundball rate, is pretty alarming.

David Frum suggested that as well. People love poring over the ratings numbers, but ratings are pretty hollow when the guy with the highest ratings isn't bringing in revenue and starts actually costing the network money.

A real-life Connor Roy LOL

So which host on MSNBC gets it today? lol

wow

David Frum notes that FOX is currently having to renegotiate contracts with a couple of cable carriers.... wonder if Dominion was making those negotiations more difficult for FOX and precipitated this move.

It's been noted in a few places, but FOX not giving him a final sendoff show suggests this was more of a hostile move. Maybe it stems from the Dominion settlement?

WOW

I think this is largely right, but in terms of the WWE analogy, the only person in the ring is Donald Trump.... all of the other candidates won't so much as lay a finger on him and appear to just be hoping he implodes on his own. DeSantis chief among them. And it's because the entire situation is a Catch-22.... it's exceedingly unlikely to win a nomination without attacking Trump, but it's exceedingly unlikely to win a nomination by attacking Trump.

I do think Trump is (still) undersold as a commodity by the class of Republican who wants to channel Trumpism without actual Trump on the ballot, but what really seems like groupthink to me is how this guy is basically seen as the "default" other option. It's either Trump or DeSantis, no other options. I know he's Governor of Florida and had a resounding victory in an otherwise disappointing year for the GOP (Florida is a bit of an outlier state anyway, but we'll set that aside for the moment). I totally get how he looks good on paper. But what exactly has DeSantis done or how has he earned the benefit of the doubt as the heir apparent, especially when you see how the guy actually acts in the wild?

Governor Alfred E. Newman has some thoughts...

Great slide by Vierling... outstanding

Not that it means much given how much they have sucked, but McKinstry has been really good with the bat this series. Just a perfect bunt there.

Hell of an effort. Now go get him some runs

Honestly, McKinstry should have gotten himself thrown out over that. Ridiculous, one foot above the strikezone

This ump is ridiculous

Can somebody in the lineup please get Eddie at least a run???

She's got a case to be the most cynical and craven politician on the market these days. Which, I assume, he would consider a big asset.

Conventions are interesting in that there are often events that corporate participants often set up during the evening separate from the Convention itself. And speaking from experience, stadiums and sporting events provide ideal settings for companies to market to clients and whatnot. Put another way, the fact that Vegas is the convention capital of the US is a net positive for a baseball team based just off the strip as they will likely market themselves and grab business from corporate clients looking for space to rent as a Hospitality Suite. I would guess that they would do better on that front than almost any other franchise in the league.
