I decided, hey, way not tune in some minor league baseball this afternoon, since the Hens, 'Wolves, and 'Caps all have day games. All all three are getting crushed by blowout scores. F-Tigers on tonight.

If by price you mean AAV, that shouldn't be a huge problem. I would guess less than 10, maybe 8. But I'd be concerned about giving him two guaranteed years, and if his demand is three-plus years, we definitely should pass. Because when it comes to a commodity like he, years are a bigger risk than AAV.

This is a good point. Kelly was considered a big talent when he was drafted, so I think there’s a decent chance he’s unlocked something here. But there’s also a chance it’s some sort of outlier, and we’d have to decide whether to give him years before we find that out. That would be a risk, even at two years.

Kelly’s going to want years. Are we willing to give him years?

Listen to parking management, and be prepared to sue the tar out of them if they give you a bum steer. I think Joumana Lawyer takes on those kinds of cases.

I do know that the quality of rock and roll has been both helped and hurt (e.g., pretentious prog rock) by the rose in music education, but I wonder whether and how it’s affected hip hop? I would imagine the same direction to some degree.

Apropos of nothing, I continue to maintain that Trading Places is the best Christmas movie of the last 50 years.

I think this is probably right. My four-year-older brother heavily influenced 11-year-old me to discover Jethro Tull and Alice Cooper and Cream, none of which I would have discovered on my own. I am of the impression that there are a lot of kids, meaning millennials and Gen Z, who like certain kinds of classic rock because their parents would play it. When I say “a lot” I don’t mean the majority, of course, but a certainly a far higher percentage of them like that than kids of my generation who liked big band swing music, which was basically zero. I would guess probably because classic rock sounds way closer in basic style to today’s pop music than swing ever did or could to 70s pop music.

Eddie Murphy is having himself a fairly decent late-career revival. Good for him.

Wake them when Biden is cheap-faked wandering around a Harris Teeter parking lot.

The ghost of Al Avila will haunt us for a few more years. Then he can’t hurt us anymore.

What a fun time to have celebrity encounters!

Who saw Maeda coming

Stupid iOS

Oh, that’s it, fire Hinch. 😁

It’s a fair response, and i don’t blame her. She doesn’t want to be caught saying something off the cuff that will become the star of the next news cycle.

There can’t be a unified response because the Democrats are not a unified party. They are a party of different factions with differing agendas. They are almost impossible to truly unify. Everyone wants their particular bed feathered. Contrast that with Republicans, who are monolithic in demography and ideology. That’s what a unified party looks like. Plus, Republicans waste no time when it comes to excommunicating apostates. With Democrats there’s no one at the top to pull that particular lever, so anyone can say just about anything they want and stay inside the tent pissing out. Since there’s no penalty for pay for party apostasy, there’s no incentive to unify, or more exactly, no disincentive to prevent acting out.

Gotta be!

What, is it April 2024 already? The Comeback Kids are back!

As I was saying … 🤬

Although to be fair, on replay, that was an absolutely perfectly-executed pickoff.

I hope McKinstry is saving his money.

Urshela is lucky Martinez made a ****ty throw to third.

Even better!
