No chance, and we don’t want that, since it will motivate people more to wanna throw her out of office. And we want Biden to make it at least to Election Day. Setting aside the sheer human awfulness of it, if Biden died before the election, I wonder whether Kamala would get a sympathy bump. I think it helped LBJ, although obviously different circumstances. Can barely imagine how crass the Republicans would be in response.

What has Harris’ done that makes your gut think that? I can’t really think of a trade failure he’s had.

Hall of Fame, period. All he has to do is not get hurt and he’s a lock within five years.

Someone alert McCosky.

I would be very surprised if we went into next season with the exact same pitching staff minus Flaherty. I would think Harris picks up at least one more starter and at least one more high-leverage pen arm.

Nationalist jerk is definitely a thing.

Not the worst idea, but I would rather we ration his innings early next season, then bring him up for the second half to get that experience (assuming he does not force his way north in March, of course).

Or worse yet, go sees Dr. Andrews.

MF is short for MotownForums, gutterbrain.

Need Flaherty to be efficient and go deep, at least into the 7th, since the bullpen is a little gassed. The most likely guys we will see come out of the pen tonight are Brieske (if it's close), Maeda (if it's no so close), and Foley, and if it gets to this point (god help us), Chafin and/or Lucas, depending on the score.

A MF poster engaging in hyperbole? Nawwwwwww ... that's as rare as a MF poster engaging in sarcasm ...

Right, the DEI label is the point, BLM used it so how can Democrats be insulted by it, amiclose? If that's what it is, I would counter that how black people use the term "DEI" and how white conservatives use it is the exact same as how black folks use the n-word and how white conservatives use it.

An opportunistic ex-Democrat tried to and look how far he got: the next morning.

Trump is definitely no good under pressure.

Wink + goofy laugh = busting balls. Didn't mean nothin' by it.

I'm going to predict we move Flaherty and Chafin, and Kelly is 60/40. I say that because catcher is a position of strength, or at least a well-settled position, for almost all the contenders, and as a two-month rental, he doesn't have much value in trade. At best he's a throw-in to pry away a lottery ticket. I don't think anyone will want either Canha or Ibanez. If we did get the killer diller deal for Skubal, I think we keep Flaherty and take the QO pick. I also think any deal we do for Skubal will need not only a top of the system position player, but a numbered starter as well. If Harris did trade Flaherty AND Skubal and got no pitching in return, he will have totally overplayed his hand.

There it is. 😉😝

I like this in general, although if it came to it, I would bring Gipson-Long into the rotation to start 2025 as SP5 over Jobe, as I would prioritize his development behind Jobe’s. This might change, of course, if Jobe sets Florida afire like nobody else in that state next March.

Wenceel is exactly what a good DH/PH/fifth outfielder is: solid stick, adequate-enough defense. Not someone you would start out there as much as a fourth outfielder, who needs either plus stick/average D or average stick/plus D and be able to start against good teams, but someone who won’t kill you when you start him against bad teams or you have to play him out there after pinch-hitting him for someone during garbage time. So my outfield configuration as the roster currently constructed, if everyone is healthy enough, would be Riley-Meadows-Carpenter, Vierling as OF4, Wenceel as OF5. Rest or play Vierling IF/DH/PH and Wenceel in RF versus bad teams when resting Riley/Carpenter; and play Vierling in the OF and Wenceel rest of DH/PH when resting any of the outfielders vs good teams. That’s what it looks like on appear, anyway.

That’s what Jeffrey Skilling’s big brother Tom would look like if he were a politician instead of the greatest TV weatherman who ever lived.

The savvier among the so-called Third World countries have long been adept at playing off the US and whatever is the other big power (Soviets, China) to maximize their haul.

I think that would constitute saying something.

There is no way Taylor Swift is not going to endorse Kamala. Then it’s probably all over but the lawsuits.

Perfect reply, this:
