  1. Looks like the break might be coming at a really good time.
  2. Avila bought some of the materials. He simply had no idea how to build the house.
  3. According to Birmingham Police Chief Richard Patterson, Roseangel called 911 at 6 a.m. Saturday morning after the couple fought because he came home intoxicated and loud after drinking at Birmingham's Townsend Hotel with an unspecified fellow Venezuelan who plays for the Chicago White Sox. There was one Venezuelan on that White Sox team. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/garcifr03.shtml
  4. While I can see where you’re coming from, I do like the idea of Miggy wearing the Olde English D in the Hall.
  5. This is the Tigers forum. Careful with your CAPS. 😉
  6. Hey, look on the bright side: at least you’ll get to keep a little more money in your pocket at the store. 😁 Why are you moving?
  7. People I know who’ve been to Ireland this year say the Irish are thrilled to see Americans visiting. For one thing, the locals know the visitors are The Good Ones, and for another, they like hearing people slagging Trump in an American accent.
  8. Splintering is fine, but that’s one thing. l’ll start cheering when they start peeling off at election time.
  9. I'd love for that to make a difference, but to break the spell, we're going to have to peel off some MAGAs on the margin, at least, and I don't see this doing it,
  10. My first ever completed Immaculate Grid. It’s real, and it’s spectacular. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 832 9/9: Rarity: 9 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 Play at: https://immaculategrid.com/play
  11. And invoice your family for the bullet.
  12. Yup. We are all on the clock. All of us.
  13. Catnip.
  14. Do you recollect what is the irrefutable smoking gun the author presents as proof positive?
  15. Could they not doctor the list to remove Trump and add Bill, Hillary, Obama, Soros, Schiff, Newsom, anyone they want? It’s not as though anyone could verify whatever they release against any kind of original list.
  16. I wonder how much of this is true believership and how much of it is a Hail Mary. She is a convicted felon, and for street crime, not business crime. Also, the husband is pretending he’d never heard any of the details of her crimes in his seventeen years with her, so that angle might be an attempt (in vain) to carve something out for himself if things go totally upside down for her.
  17. “Cannabis farm”.
  18. I don’t think this is a real response because I can’t find it below the actual tweet, but it would have been a pretty good one had he done it.
  19. Seems pretty clear Riley is selling out for homers by increasing hit bad speed and his launch angle. It’s working, as far as homers go. As for overall hitting effectiveness regarding wRC+ and wOBA, if you believe small changes are significant it seems to be working for him. If you don’t believe so much in that, it’s a wash. I am a bit concerned about Riley’s taking a step back on his LF defense.
  20. Fangraphs displays two types of pitcher’s WAR: fWAR (i.e., regular WAR) and RA9-WAR. fWAR is calculated based on FIP—which itself is largely made up of walk rate, strikeout rate, and home run rate, the things pitchers are assumed to have control over—and is meant to be predictive. RA9-WAR adjusts fWAR by layering on BIP and LOB and is meant to be more reflective. We can see all this side by side on a pitcher’s Fangraphs card. Reference’s bWAR is generally closer to RA9-WAR than fWAR, and to me, is not even necessarily needed as long as I can see RA9-WAR, BIP-wins, LOB-wins, and fWAR all side by side.
  21. YMMV, but I don’t mind seeing the Atlanta Braves doing a complete face-plant this year.
  22. I don’t see the part where I said ”every word” or “every action”. I say that only in regard to specific acts in the moment, for example, with the question to the Liberia president, I’m pretty sure Trump did not make a mistake, borne of honest effort, to compliment him. I believe Trump meant to condescend to him, and that he meant to put on a show about it. When it comes to that kind of thing, he knows exactly what he’s doing.
  23. You need to provide the receipts showing me saying everything he says is for with a purpose. Take as much time as you need.
  24. By “your” you mean Trump, right? That’s what my like is predicated on. 😁
  25. lol man of the lower middle class working world. I’m talking about grown adults. People who never outgrow their middle school personas, which tracks with Trump, who talks like a middle school bully. That’s why they love him so much! I also think you might be overselling the intellectual calculation and nuance it takes to act ignorant to appease your audience.
