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.

If Trump comes out for him, though, then he'll be bulletproof. Not sure that'll happen, though.

Is any of that an actual disqualifier for running for office as a Republican?

My favorite part might be that the trade proposal included Jace Jung after his amazing slide and the iconic photo that resulted from it.

The problem I had with Mario Impemba was his inability to provide any actual baseball insights during the broadcast. Everything Mario said about the actual game in progress was either a basic description of the pitch or play that just happened; a reciting of the batting or pitching line the player had achieved during the game to that point; or a snippet from the media notes about the team or the player in question. Practically everything else Mario said during the broadcast was either a live read promotion, a throw to the field or studio announcers, or a forced attempt at banter. I didn't fault Mario for the live reads or throws or even the attempted banter, but the bare bones description-only nature of his game commentary was where he really lacked. Mario apparently neither talked to the players, as Jim Price or Rod Allen did, nor dug into the numbers, like Dan does, which leaves only a dry recitation of what he saw in front of him or read from his notes. Mario was a perfectly competent announcer, technically, but I got no sense that he was at all engaged with the game going on in front of him.

So it never was just about "illegal" immigrants? It always was about all immigration period? Cool.

Oh good lord, now this, huh? Is it too soon to wonder whether this helps Trump?
