I am! Especially at parties where people are discussing terrorism! 🤡

I could be talked into sending Torkelson and Mize and Manning, plus Avila all-stars such as Kreidler and Dingler and Faedo and Englert and Lange, to the Jays for Guerrero and Bichette.

I’m starting to wonder whether they will ever be broken up, or whether we have given up on Sherman antitrust in their case because they’re so powerful.

Semantics alert: Some political scientists may argue that states cannot be said to be engaging in terrorism against residents within their own borders, since they define terrorism as the unlawful use of violence to achieve political ends, and established states get to set their own laws. As such, they hold that only non-stare actors can engage in actual terrorism. They would argue that North Korea is not a terrorist state, despite the extreme violence or the threat of it otherwise against their own people, because the state is operating legally as defined within their own laws.

I agree with you, they’re playing Trump‘s game, and it sucks, and I’d like it to stop. The problem is it can’t be stopped, because of the multitudes of individual actors who will inevitably give in to it.

It almost doesn’t matter what the details are here. Just the headline is a total gift to the Trump campaign.

McCosky watching the ex-tiger McCann’s homer:

Yeah the juju feels wrong

This is an obvious bad faith attempt to rush through a change that will help rig the election for Trump, and a federal court should be front-burnering the challenge and striking it down in zero flat.

Election interference, spearheaded by a carpetbagging scalawag.

When I predicted that people would line up at the polls at two in the morning for their chance to vote against Trump, I was eight years too early.

Maybe mistresses and/or second families?

I’ve been predicting 84 wins all year. I was gonna be happy with that. Now, maybe not so much.

All we have to do now is clear the tiebreaker.

THEY DID IT! WE’RE TIED!

Wow that was a big goose egg to throw up there. Come on, Ind … errr …

Except for last night!

Willi Castro is a three-and-a-half-win player.

Top of the order. I like Cleveland’s chances.

As if to prove the dictum that fans believe that baseball was at its best when they were 11 years old, I love the A’s green and gold uniforms, but I don’t like it when anyone else wears colored jerseys.

I guess the OP hoped we would pull the trigger without looking

Well, then we'll see for sure whether whatever the thing is is truly disqualifying.

I don't disagree about Benetti's attention to non-game-related topics, such as ballpark activity, music tastes, long sidebars on pop culture only millennials really understand, things along those lines. I do find that somewhat annoying at times—not always, but sometimes—as it leads to his too-cute-by-half bon mots that I think are rather polarizing (since some fans love love love those). What Benetti is far better than Mario at is talking about the actual game in progress and providing insights on it. Despite his penchant for ghosting his daytime job to go call football games, Benetti is a real baseball guy and he does know the game well. Mario could not provide insights on games to save his job, which is probably why he doesn't have a job right now, and in fact hasn't had one since the Red Sox let him go after the 2019 season. If Mario were actually good at calling baseball games, he'd be doing that for a living right now.
