I’ve been watching a lot of old baseball film, mainly from Musial’s era and somewhat before, and most of the batters are squat in the box, hands close to the zone in their stance, and their swing is far more level from where the bat is held going into the ball than today’s hitter who holds the bat high above his head and has to bring it down to meet the ball, and batters struck out way way less back then, and I wonder, if a first-rate home run hitter came to the plate holding a bat like Stan Musial, would he ever hardly strike out, too?

I don’t think we know where anyone is going to end up until late March. Infield is a mess right now, so consequently, it’s pretty open and subject to change.

Closed to us. Open to insiders, apparently.

Because that’s where the money is for her. You’re right. Not difficult.

A quarter mile away is only the length of fewer than four football fields. It's not like it's a different area code.

Not the Daily Beast.

Offhand, I would say because Daily Beast and Salon are journalists, while the Trump regime is a party with an interest in obscuring any bad truths about her and all of their appointees from all of us. Laugh if you want about the "journalists" part, but do you truly believe Daily Beast is flat out lying about what Russian state TV verifiably said? After all, the only counter to it is, "Russian state TV didn't say that at all." Would the Daily Beast spin out such a lie at the expense of their integrity? Or is it because the Daily Beast is not CBS, or Fox News, or whatever news source you most frequent? Also, what do our country's agencies actually say about Tulsi? I don't mean what her technical standing is with them—I mean what do they say, in words?

You're the one who mentioned "cities like Chicago" going first. What else could you have meant? Surely you don't mean criminal gangs suddenly overunning the city and terrorizing white people en masse? Because that is also happening only in your dreams.

So, 220 for the Republicans, eight flipped from Democrats. And 215 Democrats, nine flipped from Republicans. More seats flipped to Democrats than Republicans. You don't say. I guess it wasn't such a mandate election predicated on the failure of Democratic Party ideals after all. Looks like it really was about something else.

Looks like someone wasn't happy with their 28% ACA insurance increase.

I don't think there could be a successful red hat invasion of Chicago. We have are too many people here, over three million. How many red hat vigilantes would it take to subdue the entire city? A hundred thousand? A quarter million? Half a million? How would they coordinate half a million vigilante red hats for an invasion of Chicago? Telegram? Discord? How do they train? How do they battle plan? They may have most of the guns but I don't think they're genius enough to overrun and ghettoize an entire city a la Warsaw. I think this one will have to remain relegated to your fantasy scenario. I think it would have to take Hegseth's army to have a chance of pulling something like that off, although I think it's more likely they simply bomb us into smithereens like Gaza than try to conquer us like Nanking.

Completely different 20 minutes argument.

Pitchers want to maximize time between pitches because it helps them. I don't think hitters complain so much about it.

****ing nonsense.

How can I not remember all the lyrics from a 40-year-old ad jingle? Shame on me! 😂

Avoiding any super long games during the season is a big win for them. Who wants to stay at work a couple of hours longer when they can punch out in 20 minutes instead?

Once the 40% of farm workers are yanked from the fields and the remaining 60% are paid their fair wage, I’m sure the price of scarcer produce at the supermarket will plummet immediately as patriotic farmers (i.e., multinational agribusinesses) absorb the additional per unit costs, for the good of the American people.

Try mixing some walnuts with your honey nut cherrios and snack on them by the handful. Mmm mmm mmm.

I top my yogurt with walnuts and flax seeds. I’ll give you my walnuts when you pry them from my cold, dead liberal hands.

This trolling is not as subtle as you might think.

That is one potential bright spot in this whole thing: the American people of today, unlike the German people of 90 years ago, or the Russian people of forever, are not used to having government bring the hammer down on their everyday lives, so if the MAGovernment overreaches, they may not be able to overcome the people rising up to oppose them, and there’s a chance they might have to cave. The wild card is whether forces are trained specifically to put down such uprisings, which I assume is the certainty of when and not if; and how effectively they can conscript and deputize armed civilian red hats to help keep both their suspect neighbors and the liberals in nearby cities in check, teaching a few lessons along the way, which is a true wild card.

Do the OOTP thing where you give him 35 Ms a year for four year, then two player options for 14 Ms apiece. Year five, he’s gone.

Almond Joy’s got deep dark chocolate, coconut and munchy nuts, too … Damn you, man.

The majority of players love it. Let’s them clock out earlier.
