I hear you all about Tarik and the civvies. Just, it doesn't really sit right with me, during a game that's still being contested. Strictly a me thing.

Oh, well, that's acceptable, then. 😶

I honestly don't understand why they just don't create fake documents to cover this and anything else that's inconvenient to them. It can't be easier for anyone to do so more than it is for the most powerful country with the most resources in the world. Anyone in the opposition who tries to out the lie will just be called liars themselves and will have the weight of sanctioned government harassment rain down on their heads; and anyone from the inside who leaks the effort can be summarily and harshly dealt with. Even if everyone in their hearts knows the Trump regime is lying when they provide doctored documents, if the regime makes the price for outing them harsh enough and public enough, people will eventually stop trying to out them. Russia's been handling it this way for nine centuries.

"Transparency" might be code for "doctor the logs".

Tarik Skubal was standing around watching the swing-off in his civvys. Even for an exhibition game, I don't quite cotton to that.

Wait, which client list? The client list on Pam Bondi's desk, the client list that doesn't exist, or the client list created by Barack Obama?

Hey, i just present the factoid without comment. You decide what it means. 😁

What is true for a fact(oid) is that the Yankees had a better record than the Tigers after May 22 that year.

I think that might be only for wild card and division rounds. I believe I’d heard that if they got to the LCS, they’d have to play somewhere else, probably Miami. Unless they changed their minds since I’d heard this?

That’s the thing about baseball in general, and this game in particular: I just feel so relentlessly, endlessly marketed to. I don’t feel I’m treated like a fan so much as I’m part of a target audience.

They also had a 1976 Michigan bicentennial license plate in one of the spots.

That’s a bad sign. If it were truly meant to be only an exhibition game gimmick, that wouldn’t matter.

He got notes.

I hate these marketing segments MLB does during these games as much as the next guy, but this in-stadium Hank Aaron segment is super cool.

Yeah I don't think we're ever going to see a repeat of Rose-Fosse. There's too much bonhomie among players, and also, they are acutely aware that they have to preserve themselves for championship play during the second half. Not only is no one going balls out against another guy, they're going to let up where they feel they need to so they can preserve themselves

Wow, what a terrible game for Tigers.

Who'd'a thunk Mitch McConnell would ever be on the side of the angels.

They basically told us they were going to weaponize the government by falsely accusing prior administrations of weaponizing the government.

It's a factiod.

In all fairness, he didn't call it a "factoid". 😉

Including the arb clock? I thought that was depending on days spent in the majors. I mean, I know that clock advances by at least a single day in my scenario, but is there something more that makes it much more significant as a consideration? I know it's true that an option gets burned in my scenario in year one, and that would cost the team a year on the back end. Is there anything else I'm not thinking of attached to this? As for the 40-man, I am 80% sure that the team would have to pass the player through waivers to get him off the 40 again, but are there any further machinations the team can undertake to get the young player off the 40 without losing him to someone else through waivers? Anything else I'm not thinking of here?

In Tampa, says the new owner. I think that market would be happier with that.

I hope any state that does this starts bleeding corporate headquarters and their employees, including Florida.

Again, this is an all or nothing position that suggests that we must either support immigration laws as the Trump regime is implementing them, or we must support zero immigration laws at all. I don’t believe anybody else here supports either, because there is just so much in between them that we would rather see instead.
