If as a major league GM you're getting hits here on there on minor trades while getting crushed on practically every major one, that doesn't acquit your legacy as well as you might hope.

And Reese is doing it with a higher-than-average walk rate and lower-than-average strikeout rate. Giving up no bombs doesn't hurt, but quality of contact metrics has his xFIP at 4.02 and xFIP- at 102, because he gives up more hard hit balls than most, even more than Mize. So unless he tightens that up, he's going to slide down the rotation some.

Is your sheet not fully operable? I'm on the Toledo tab and I scroll right to look at additional dates and the names fly off the left side of the screen. It looks like you have Freeze Panes planted within it, so why is that not working for me? Or does it work only for you, the owner of the worksheet?

The war would end immediately if you were to simply lay down your weapons and release your hostages.

I would assume he has a phalanx of sycophants surrounding him to protect the political asset that is RFK Jr. from being undermined by threats like his family and large swaths of the media.

What's the over-under for when he'll cave? I've got June 1.

Yeah and everything else

Rumor has it there's a lot of money in that family.

Behold, America: your future, if you allow it. Of course, given the strain of anti-intellectualism that runs rife in this country, probably most people won't see this as a bad thing at all. This affects only the elites who I hate anyway, so this would be quite acceptable, even some moderate-by-American-standards people would think.

TBF, their entire media ecosystem is telling them the trial is a sham and a fraud being used to paper over Biden Crime Family criming.

My favorite one is the tiny North America over Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Maybe she's angling for a VP nod ... although she's a lot more useful to him right where she is ...

lol, you don't say, no **** sherlock

The list is probably shorter than the list of women he didn’t do this to.

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/05/07/nyregion/trump-trial-hush-money-stormy-daniels Ms. Daniels has said they ate dinner in his room and talked, and he asked her about the porn business. [Trump] asked her to sign one of her movie DVDs, and said she reminded him of his daughter. Then, she says, he told her she should be on “The Apprentice,” his reality show. Ms. Daniels says she scoffed at the idea that a porn star could be on the show, but he insisted he could make it happen. Mr. Trump’s lawyers have said that they intend to argue that Mr. Trump’s interactions with Ms. Daniels concerned only her possible appearance on the show. After she went to the bathroom, Ms. Daniels has said, she emerged and found him on the bed, and they had sex.

Tale of Two Buck Farmers.

Who didn't turn into CJ Cron until he left Detroit.

I already get that when I watch or listen to any Tigers game on any device. Drives me nuts.

Maybe, but he beat his body up pretty good with his work habits and diet.

I would love to be 50 years old again.

I totally agree that we need more good young players alongside Riley and Skubal, but I don't think we should be trading 2024-25 in exchange for 2027-29. I think need players for 2025, at the very least, if not 2024. And even guys like Jack Flaherty, let alone Mark Canha, are not going to unlock big-league-ready Top 100 prospects. Maybe Jack could return a hot 18- or 19-year-old ticket, but why would we do that? Beyond that, trading Tarik Skubal for prospects would be waving the white flag for this and the next two seasons. I don't think we're going to do that, but if we did, then what are we doing here?

Here’s another somewhat surprising non-fan.

The one thing I do like is the olde English D-1 patch, an homage to the M-1 sign on Woodward, but even that is practically offset by the gaudy Meijer patch on the other side.

Here’s what Eminem thinks of the cap.
