The confusion comes from being so embedded inside that they honestly can’t acknowledge the obvious things everyone else can see.

Yes, that is the fact.

I don't think Hinch was Avila's choice, and the pieces all coming out around the time emphasized how well Grifol knew Avila for 30 years and how much Avila liked him, so I am taking that As Avila preferred Grifol. I don't think the stories of the time would say that in so many words, but Avila did have a relationship and kinship of country with Grifol that he didn't have with anyone else.

Yes! https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/10/tigers-interview-pedro-grifol-for-managerial-vacancy.html

They are desperate to deflect their own racism by highlighting liberal racism, two words that really don’t even go together.

I stopped watching when they had Trump on basically every day for a while.

Persecution complex, along these lines:

This is a right-wing trope. “You’re criticizing what I’m saying, you’re not agreeing with me, oh my god, I’m not allowed to have free speech anymore!” It’s essentially the same thing as when right wingers accuse any news organization that’s not in the tank for Trump is being part of the biased leftist MSM trying to destroy America. There are callers in to Washington Journal accusing C-SPAN of that literally every week.

The QAnon wing is going to have a field day with this picture. There goes the Pizzagate vote, I guess.

Apart from Skubal, the whole starting rotation is a big steaming #2 right now.

Grifol was Al Avila’s first choice!

Have you been to Nashville? This is the official vehicle: They deserve a team that doesn't care, like the Tigers!

Or Hinch. Or the coaches. Or the players. Or the minor leaguers. Or the fans. Fire them all and move the team to Nashville!

Yeah, the idea that Trump would be the people's champion against the Russian mafia and organized crime and sleazy corporate interests is laughable on its face.

lol no shĭt you don't say

Shining a light on the lunatics.

Can't even log into my brokerage. Is this how they getcha? Because it's not really your money until it's safely in your pocket, is it? Until you can pry it out of their clutches, it's theirs.

Whoooooo gives a ****

I did not realize they cheered after he said it. What were they cheering for? It couldn’t be because they really want electric cars after all but couldn’t because Mr. Trump Sir hated them but now he likes them so it’s OK to get one, can it? I think it’s more like they were spacing out and heard “blah blah blah blah Elon supports me”. Perhaps 80% of those clapping were paying attention to something else like their phones, heard people start clapping, and then they started clapping in response not knowing what it was for.

I believe there’s a clear difference between swatting a kid on the butt once to get their attention, and as a completely unusual and out-of-character response to a situation that signaled its practically grave consequences, versus carefully planning and preparing a beating over a period of time before administering a painful corporal punishment for something like backtalk. I think the healthiest relationships between children and parents are those in which discipline is rooted in a loss of privileges and an explanation of why, versus loss of privileges AND a savage beating AND the silent treatment during and afterwards.

Burying the subheadline ledes—still telling people to hate Biden for it, but admitting he’s supporting it because it’s quid pro quo: Donald Trump said at a rally on Saturday that he supported electric vehicles because Elon Musk endorsed him. But he also criticized EV infrastructure and Biden's EV mandates. Musk has publicly backed Trump recently but denied a rumored $45 million donation.

Man, what an awful, awful way to lose this game. Just a swift kick in the nads after the high we got yesterday.

Oh, Jesus, first pitch bomb with two out in the ninth and the last pinch-hitter puts the Royals up 3-2. Goddamit.

I really like Andy Dirks on TV. He's a business-first guy, a la Dan Dickerson, and he keeps Benetti's tendencies to go way off-topic in check. Benetti can be a really good business PxP, and Dirks keeps him in check. It's when Todd Jones comes into the booth where they go really off the beam, and Dirks doesn't seem like he wants to go there so much.
