I tend to think that a lot of his troubles are tied up with supply chain/inflation issues. And the good news is that is something that will likely alleviate some in 2Q 2022. Whether that would result in better numbers remains to be seen. But yeah, if the election were held today, it wouldn't be great... it wouldn't be as bad as 2010 just due to how many reach seats the Ds held at that time, but you could easily see 30-40 gone.

Pretty much. Not there yet, but there's a lot of smoke.

I'll continue to stay with my "believe it when I see it" stance. Although I definitely will not be as surprised if it happens tho.

So dumb it hurts

The brunch heard round the world lol

I would imagine that getting those numbers right is hard, but it seems crucial to get them correct the first time given the outsized importance in media coverage labor statistics get.

Al Franken's existence basically undermined Kevin McCarthy entire case (ie. "Rules for thee, not for me"). Along with Katie Hill for that matter. We can all debate the degree to which each side polices their own and whether it's enough but, objectively, the two parties are not the same on this question at this point in time.

Politics is a form of entertainment for most Americans, for better or worse.

The thing about the Paul Gosar video is that, if you're standard is "if I did this thing at work I'd be fired", well, it meets that standard. Meanwhile, in the great halls of our government, 47% of the House apparently thinks that's ok.

Overall I'm ok with the result here. I love JV, but he's still a risk and I don't blame the team for going with ERod as their established starter signing over the Verlander reunion. A team like the Astros, who have a 90-win pedigree, makes more sense to take that risk than the Tigers.

I would say consider the source, but it is his brother lol

Will Johnny Kane get an invite onto the SS Caesar?

The conventional wisdom (at least locally) is that Story is gonna be the prodigal son who returns home to DFW. I'll believe it when I see it though.... they have a lot of prospects in the pipeline, but the Rangers still don't seem like the most attractive destination spot, at least with the roster as currently built.

Oh no, anyway

Heyman seems like the Lynn Henning of Jeff Passans.... lol

I was in Illinois last week for family reasons (W/SW Burbs). People mostly still following indoors, but there were some places where enforcement of the mandate was pretty lax. (Which, honestly, not sure how necessary the mask mandate really is at this point, so 🤷‍♂️)

Including two E. Rodrigai

In terms of reclamation project, I'd like them to consider Michael Wacha perhaps....

Uhh, legit journalists probably shouldn't be doing this kinda smoke and mirrors stuff

Jon Heyman had a tweet earlier saying that the Jays were in hot pursuit of ERod's services but that he "opted for Detroit instead"... That was a nice change of pace lol

That strikes me as being... not bad, terms wise?

You mean to tell me that Lions football doesn't have you hanging off the edge of your seat? 🤣
