I don't think it should take five years from now, or even from August 2022, for us to finally become competitive. My original thought was that if we are not competing for a playoff spot, if not Central title, by 2025, something is going wrong, and I will stick with that.

True, although while a team is waiting for the young core hitters to mature in the coming years, they still have to put good hitters in the lineup this year.

I don't have 17 minutes, can you boil it down for me?

Sounds mostly like standard-issue rock and roll to me ...

Trump’s ego needs to stroked by everyone around him, including his lawyers at his criminal trial. After confirming that celebrities like Aaron Rodgers, Charles Barkley, and Ben Roethlisberger were at the golf tournament where Trump met Stormy Daniels, Trump’s lawyer asked Daniels to confirm that Trump was the most famous celebrity there. She then asked Daniels to confirm that Trump did very well at that golf tournament. Only Trump would be petty enough to try to get evidence of his fame and golf prowess admitted as evidence at his criminal trial.

They stood their ground.

We here are guilty of this.

It was a dig at what Republicans always say whenever anyone asks for new gun legislation.

The media are finally, finally, coming around to referring to Stormy Daniels as "adult-film actress", which is a neutral designation, instead of the previously-universal "porn star", which made Trump seem like a heroic man's man for banging her. CNN, Washington Post, ABC News, NPR, and even People Magazine have all seem to come around. Good. NYTimes still holding out, though ...

Maybe Mike Johnson should just enforce the laws that are already on the books.

Foley coming in during the seventh might have been due to specific matchups, or it might have been due to the fact that Foley fell off the horse after getting crushed blowing a save in his last appearance, or it might have been due to something else we civilians don’t know. I haven’t heard hinch’s postgame, maybe he addressed it there.

Haven’t you learned yet that when the Tigers win it’s because of the players, and when the Tigers lose it’s because of M.F. Hinch?

Name the best nine players we have right now who would win us a pennant like Sparky and Leyland did.

At the very least they’ll never get the Trumpublicans to join in on it.

What a compete and utter bozo.

Good call on that.

If as a major league GM you're getting hits here on there on minor trades while getting crushed on practically every major one, that doesn't acquit your legacy as well as you might hope.

And Reese is doing it with a higher-than-average walk rate and lower-than-average strikeout rate. Giving up no bombs doesn't hurt, but quality of contact metrics has his xFIP at 4.02 and xFIP- at 102, because he gives up more hard hit balls than most, even more than Mize. So unless he tightens that up, he's going to slide down the rotation some.

Is your sheet not fully operable? I'm on the Toledo tab and I scroll right to look at additional dates and the names fly off the left side of the screen. It looks like you have Freeze Panes planted within it, so why is that not working for me? Or does it work only for you, the owner of the worksheet?

The war would end immediately if you were to simply lay down your weapons and release your hostages.

I would assume he has a phalanx of sycophants surrounding him to protect the political asset that is RFK Jr. from being undermined by threats like his family and large swaths of the media.

What's the over-under for when he'll cave? I've got June 1.

Yeah and everything else

Rumor has it there's a lot of money in that family.

Behold, America: your future, if you allow it. Of course, given the strain of anti-intellectualism that runs rife in this country, probably most people won't see this as a bad thing at all. This affects only the elites who I hate anyway, so this would be quite acceptable, even some moderate-by-American-standards people would think.
