I feel as though Lou might get overlooked because the entire discussion will be about Bonds and Schilling. All three should be named to the Hall. Instead, I’m gonna predict it will be Mattingly and that’s it, I’m guessing because the committee will want to make a moralistic statement about it.

I ask because Jeter had a much better career in the majors, and was also broadly more popular than Ichiro. Fans practically wanted to hunt down the lone voter and destroy his life over it. The way I see it, Ichiro got one of the greatest vote totals in history and that should be celebrated.

His fascination starts at skimming billions off the development costs of it into his own pocket, and ends at being able to use it to lie about, smear, then arrest enemies.

Ironically—or perhaps not—the higher egg prices go and the more it gets reported on, the higher retailers and distributors can continue to raise egg prices, since news about it psychologically prepares us for that very thing. I hypothesized the same thing years ago when I would see this happening with gasoline. I would bet there even a name in Psychology for this phenomenon, and that someone here knows what it is.

Safety is completely beside the point.

Being able to detain citizens in a raid without people caring is what they’re … ahem … shooting for. Not only will this not be the last, it will probably happen again today.

I totally get what you mean, but getting people to tune out so they can freely crime? That’s what their goal is.

Killing civilians during military operations is back on the table, and thank god for that, because I was worried that Trump would be a complete ****ing pussy about it. Make America great again, baby.

I'm not so sure about that, based on the comments I've seen this offseason.

There are a lot of guys better than Harold Baines who aren't in, too.

Do you feel the same about the one guy who didn't vote for Jeter?

Not only are his medicals iffy, his track record is arguably iffier. He simply is not good consistently, and anyone can see easily that here. I feel as though the clamor to sign Flaherty to years and years for a bazillion dollars is less about actually getting Flaherty in the fold than it is a plea for Harris/Ilitch to do something anything already.

Practically the only players who start significant decline in the early to mid 30s are All-Stars and hall of Famers. Most players' declines start in their late 20s. An even better reason to not trust anyone over 30.

Are we at the Alarmist Non-sense stage yet?

Who's going to deport him?

You might still burn in hell whether or not you are or are not an atheist, since MAGAs believe the wrong kind of believers are going to hell regardless, but hey, at least you didn't waste your time in some church along the way.

... and if it involves book larnin ' ...

Oh, I don't know ... what kind of people are we talking about here?

I hadn't even considered that as a way to keep all those super dark brown subcontinent Asians from coming to America and taking all those great-paying doctor jobs, but yeah, makes a little more sense now.

There you go—make it look like Iran did it.

By keeping precious, limited healthcare away from people of modest means who can't afford to pay what it's worth? Just spitballing here.

This kind of ****'s gonna be so common that the Supreme Court's gonna be on speed dial for at least the next four years.

Red states will get their aid. Book that. States' rights. Small first step to go back to the past.
