Now that Ohio is actually in play, Toledo makes a lot of sense.

They must have cleaned it up in recent years, because I did business in Frisco occasionally during the 1999-2004 timeframe, and that place was filthy with garbage on the streets because, like NYC, it is a super congested city with no alleys. They also had more homeless people than I'd even seen outside of LA, and pretty aggressive, too. But all this was 20+ years ago.

While this all makes sense on the surface, I do think the more Trump goes off the rails and his media attack dogs follow him, the less likely these voters will flip back to undecided. I think they will choose to vote for someone who is, honestly, less of an enigma than Obama was in 2008, because they will not want to do even slightest thing, such as sit on the sidelines this November, that would help that crazy orange mother****er win back the White House. That's a message a not-insignificant portion of the Harris surrogates will be driving home during the home stretch.

But I thought we were a constitutional republic and not a democracy??

Rhetorically incendiary though this may be, this is correct as practiced.

Good, I hope she cleans up in court there. Someone has to win in the fight to stop uninvited online bullying by those who are powerful and influential. Just because she doesn’t look like a Disney Princess doesn’t make her a man, and these people should be made to pay real money for abusing their power in such an especially crass manner.

I didn’t remember them as a platoon, and when I looked it up it was more RF than anyplace else, but only for a few weeks of a single season.

Ha ha haaa, Joey’s got a rep! https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2024/08/13/will-tigers-move-meadows-to-top-of-order-a-tantalizing-but-impractical-thought-for-now/74778946007/ Greene off and running Riley Greene ended his final running test Tuesday, going from second base to home and running right through the mock stop sign thrown up by coach George Lombard. “I told him I wanted to make it more realistic,” said Greene, who has been on the injured list since July 26 because of a right hamstring strain. “Because Joey(Cora) would be coaching third and Joey sends everyone.”

Or not marry one, since it didn’t seem to do much for Boesch at the plate.

If things go as planned, we can eventually have Meadows, Max, and Riley across the outfield practically every day. 🤞

The energy level goes way way down with Gibby on. I suspect this will be his last season on the air.

Not much to criticize in a 15-1 win.

Perhaps an example of Harris picking up a player whose skill set comports with what it is we are trying to do offensively. It's probably easier to pick up players from outside who have the skill set to take in the coaching we're putting across than it is to try to retrofit players who have been in the system so long they were shaped by the prior coaching and can;t adapt to the new ways. Not referring to anything I've seen you say, but this is a big reason why I believe we should give Harris more time.

Speaking of movies ...

Maybe you'll meet Dillon Dingler's dad.

Because right wing media hammers that point over and over and over and over and over

I do have a problem with it, in principle. The leak is almost certainly from inside, not Iran, and the free press should not be withholding crucial information from the public just because one side would think they'd be bad eggs for disclosing it. Now, if it's garbage information—which it might be if it is an intentional leak designed strictly to discredit any media who publish it—then that's a different ball of fish (or kettle of wax, or however that goes). But if the media are withholding to protect themselves from the blowback of a right-wing hissy fit, then it is not only cowardly, it is an abrogation of the free press's responsibility to the public.

Or whether we would believe her when she says so. Why is it the only reporting I can find on this is from local Hawaii media and YouTube? Why aren't AP or Reuters, or CNN or even MSNBC, reporting on this? Wouldn't a former congressional representative being put on a terrorist watch list constitute national news? And why is it that none of the stories I see focus on her being put on the watchlist, but rather, only on indignant reactions by Gabbard and others to her being put on the watchlist? This all smells funny, as in, maybe it is she who is making the claim she's been put on the watchlist in order to, I would assume, acquire right wing persecution cred.

Sure, but it's not just Gutfeld I'm talking about, it's that whole right wing government/pundit class from the Bush Jr era. We could hear the fascism-wannabe in the things they were saying and pushing for, the thing that's shocking today to the dyed-in-the-wool Reagan/Bush Sr conservatives who wanted to believe Bush Jr/Trump were part of the same thread, but those of us outside that bubble could always see where it was fated to go.

I’m sorry to be the one to tell you, but we could see all this during Bush. Really, go back and listen to what was said back then. You’ll see.

I think it might be they’re trying to protect their access to the Trump campaign. If the so-called MSM start writing the unvarnished truth, they’ll not only never get another Trump official on the record anymore, they’ll also probably get a lot fewer off-the-record leaks as well. Then they’ll be forced to write nothing but speculation pieces, and no media outlet wants to look like an outsider looking in. On the other hand, they could write anything they wanted about Biden, and they would never lose their access, because if the campaign looks like they’re shutting out the public via the media due to a grievance, it will be a bad look to D voters; whereas the Trump campaign wields grievance-based withdrawals of access by the MSM as a badge of honor, and among their fans, they’re right. It’s simply a different media landscape for each campaign.

Also, not for nothing, the article reads like Carlos Monarrez is Tork’s agent.

So is that what it is? He’s always been a great major league hitter and it never was a swing issue? It’s a confidence issue? Yeah? Oh my.

I don’t know whether we can or should put up with Tork’s lack of glove for the long term. Doubles and triples down the first base line can turn an 88-win team into an 84-win team over the course of a season. If he can end up raking to the tune of .270/.350/.500+ on the regular, maybe we can long term him at DH as long as we can cover 1B with a good glove and halfway decent bat. Absent that, his career trajectory is second division slugger.

Platoon where?
