That sounds on brand for him. He strikes me as a guy who wouldn’t care if one of the morally-unacceptable candidates won and stripped the country for parts, as long as he can tell his god that at least he had nothing to do with it, and that he would be offended if the other “morally-unacceptable” candidate won and kept the country operating as is for four more years, which will keep him writing screeds for another four years.

If it happens, ask whether they’d be willing to change it, or at least turn off the volume. The worst that can happen is they say no, and they’ll be at least cordial about it—even in Jersey.

If this is a free and fair election, I have pretty high confidence Kamala beats Trump. My fear is that one of the lawsuits makes its way to the Supreme Court and they find a way to install him in the White House regardless of the vote—or least make a ruling to that effect, which might lead to something like a collapse of the government, because such a ruling would require full compliance with the ruling by the system for it to work, and that might not be forthcoming, and if that were to happen, then it’s all hell all the time.

Look at it this way: He walked away from one more year at $30 million and into four-plus years at $30 million per year. He nets three extra years by opting out now. And besides, there’s no guarantee if he plays it out that he’s going to kill it in 2025 and get the same kind of contract the following winter. So, really, it’s a no-brainer on his part.

For you and me, sure, but for him, it’s not.

He called a whole bunch of seasons for the Padres way into the 2000s.

All Snell walked away from was one year. After the years he had last year and this, he’ll get four years easy and way into nine figures.

I remember what was probably the last time Ernie appeared on the air during a Tigers game. It was a TV game, he was basically coming by to say goodbye, and the PxP guy, who I believe was Mario at the time, coaxed Ernie into calling a batter. Ernie protested a bit and Mario insisted. Well, Ernie gamely complied, but oh my lord, he was so out of practice, he sounded so halting and uncertain and just old. And in that moment I wanted to drive to Detroit just so I could go punch Mario in the face for putting Ernie in that position in the first place, and for making that the last memory I’ll have of Ernie.

Plus, 2011 was a completely different team. Who was on both teams that made an impact for both? Verlander, of course—who else?

Plus they’re all 70 or older, if they’re still alive.

I’m hip. I’m seeing a lot of episodes from various pods in the last couple of days talking about exactly how Trump would strip America for parts, and I can’t bring myself to listen to them now. For. One thing, yeah, I already knew. For another, just hearing content along these lines right now, with actual Election Day so close, would send me into a zombie-like stupor.

Crossed wires across the generations.

It could be even worse than that: they might keep Trump in there and let him just deteriorate in front of the nation’s eyes while they fulfill every increasingly insane whim unquestioningly until he actually drops dead. Who knows how much Alarmist Non-sense could arise from that circumstance?

I could see Trump starving Illinois and especially Chicago for the same reasons.

True, although TBF, vast majority of women in Iran today never had it in the first place.

This is exactly why I stopped looking at polls!

They gave themselves away when they freaked the **** out over the Trump Wives commercial. They essentially blamed Kamala for trying to derive up the divorce rate. Honestly, I have this fantasy that it’s going to be the Trump Wives who really put us over the top.

The niece’s boyfriend sounds like a lot.

Planet Trump.

I saw that, too. Clown move.

I'd be more for Bregman if he was the last piece of the puzzle to put us over the top in October. But we have a bunch of other holes to plug, so I think I'd be surprised if we went all in on him.

I saw a Kaine for Senate spot while I was in Bristol, TNVA, so he's got some skin in the game. Couldn't hurt Kamala in VA to have him on the show, either.

I too was surprised that I saw as many Harris Walz signs as I have in rural states that Trump already has sown up. Not as many as Trump, of course, but in the places where I saw them, I would think it would rile the neighbors.

Unless Kamala completely smokes Trump, like, wins Iowa and/or Florida and/or Ohio, this won't be done Wednesday.

That’s fair. I really do believe though they think they are bulletproof and that it wouldn’t even matter if they got caught.
