Because FElon is Daddy’s new favorite?

Maybe she wants to accelerate Jesus’s return to earth so he can tell her what a cool lady she is before he swoops her up to the sky.

So I’m doing some research on Pete Rose for a thing, and I came to a startling realization that had never occurred to me before. Had Pete Rose retired at any point between the end of the 1976 season and the 1983 season, he would already have been enshrined in the Hall of Fame when it was revealed in March 1989 that he gambled on games in which he had a duty to perform. And then, at some point, the Hall of Fame would have had to make the decision to expel him from its ranks, which had never happened before and hasn't since. And had Pete retired after the 1983 season itself, he would certainly have been voted into the Hall in January 1989 and due to be inducted that August. But during the interim, the first public allegations of his gambling on games he was involved in would have come out that March, with the Dowd Report released that June! Can you imagine what a delightfully entertaining ****show that would’ve been!

I’m hearing rumblings that Houston is out. Maybe there was bad blood between the two. Maybe the 6/156 is a phantom offer that people assumed was on because that was the offer he’d turned down. Who knows. We’re all just guessing. Cubs wouldn’t be a bad move for Bregman because that would make them the prohibitive favorite in that division, and every player wants to go to a sure winner if he can. Among the remaining teams, the Cubs are the closest to that. The only fly in the ointment is Matt Shaw. He’s a top 20 prospect who is presumed to be major league ready to take third base. BUT: he has a soft arm and is considered by some a better fit at second, but he’s blocked there by Nico Hoerner. So, I could see Bregman going there provided the Cubs have a deal in place for Shaw to get back either a catcher or another rotation piece. Based only on what I’ve read, though, Bregman wants to go to Boston more than anywhere else. After all, he’s said he’s willing to play out of position to go there.

Ro Khanna is very mealy-mouthed on the Maher show.

How are Republicans allowing video like this into public view? This has to be one of the last one of these we’ll see.

There is no way they are not skimming taxpayer money.

Sure. You could also do throwing accuracy to first for infielders, or to various bases for outfielders. You could have a race around the bases, or a race to first after hitting a ball. Pitching accuracy to corners of the zone for various pitches. I wouldn't do max speed throws, that could lead to injury. But you know, things along those lines.

Would wouldn’t want to play in the land of the stars with one of the two historically iconic franchises in league history?

I wish Baseball could figure out some kind of similar skills competition for their All-Star game. I am so bored of home run derby and celebrity softball.

Musk has more money than Trump. I suspect that counts for a lot.

.

The irony, of course, is that the Trumpers are going to point that out as a defense when it does come up.

Was Purdue named for those Purdues?

Fun fact: Musk did not take an oath to uphold the Constitution. So, who knows how that's going to come out in the judicial wash.

Just like we did with Miggy and like we did with Zimmermann and like we're doing with Javy. At least we (barely) escaped doing it with Prince.

I suspect they either pulled the 6/156 off the table, or it wasn't on the table in the first place. Maybe we can get something in place that hooks us for no more than two years, if that. I can't help but believe he'd much rather go to Boston and play second, though.

More making America great.

She has the look of a person who would throw the switch, or yell "Ready ... aim ..."

Maybe they are big fans of haggis and mushy peas.

I was going to step into the thread to remind everyone that Musk’s control of the US government is illegal only when the Supreme Court says it is. At which point, to Ratko’s point, Musk can simply say, “Yeah? Who’s gonna stop me? You, you puny old people in your faggoty robes? I got the president and his military behind me. Who’s behind you?”
