  1. Maybe because he’d been primarily an American League manager before that.
  2. Problem solved. Nothing more to see here.
  3. From the Department of No Sht, Sherlock
  4. My guess is that if it comes down to it, protesters would part to let an ambulance through to the medical center, because I doubt they are cartoon villains. But then, it only takes one to break that convention, right? Fun to speculate about.
  5. I've long figured that Trump and and Trumpublicans would run against the judiciary, and we are almost fully on to that, but I didn't imagine him running against the military.
  6. Tell it to the tribunal.
  7. Fantastic, thank you. If he goes 0-for-4 you get all the blame. 😁
  8. Is this what you meant?
  9. I'll be seeing Tork in Toledo a week from Friday and will file a full-ish report.
  10. Pyrrhic victory tho
  11. Invision for iOS really sucks.
  12. I don’t know who the hell Adam Adrzejewski is, other than Google telling me he is the founder of something called OpenTheBooks.com and he wrote a book in support of Trump draining the swamp, but when I read a story about this from an actual journalist, then I’ll start paying attention.
  13. Did protesters block an ambulance from going into the medical center?
  14. I was assured that Torkelson being optioned would immediately improve everything.
  15. Yes, and also, AL managers had to figure out which nine guys to put in the order and where they should all hit. In the NL, the pitcher practically always batted ninth, so convention made the decision for managers.
  16. I was contemplating McKinstry not long ago and, I gotta tell ya, he’s had a much better career than he could ever have been expected to have. A man of slight talents and drafted 1001st overall in 2015 right out of high school, he’s just a few weeks short of hitting the three-year service mark, which means he’s made a couple million dollars in the game, way better than most 33rd-rounders could ever dream of doing. He’s arb-eligible next week so it’s almost certainly the end of the line, but in any event, good for him.
  17. I didn’t say “favorite”. 😉
  18. Oh my god did we ever get crushed in the return for those guys. That’s what he got when he met more than his match across the table. Avila had to be thanking his lucky stars Theo didn’t know how to trade. Either that or he just let Jed handle it because he was too important to get involved in it.
  19. Second greatest Tigers manager of my lifetime.
  20. Do us a favor and doubt him again tomorrow.
  21. Until they do literally anything else literally anywhere else.
  22. Say anything you want about Trump and he'll react in a variety of ways, but if you say he's a shanker at golf, that's a criticism that will probably make him the maddest.
  23. From the story: Nine witnesses in the criminal cases against former President Donald Trump have received significant financial benefits, including large raises from his campaign, severance packages, new jobs, and a grant of shares and cash from Trump’s media company. The benefits have flowed from Trump’s businesses and campaign committees, according to a ProPublica analysis of public disclosures, court records and securities filings. One campaign aide [saw] his average monthly pay double, from $26,000 to $53,500. Another employee got a $2 million severance package barring him from voluntarily cooperating with law enforcement. And one of the campaign’s top officials had her daughter hired onto the campaign staff, where she is now the fourth-highest-paid employee. These pay increases and other benefits often came at delicate moments in the legal proceedings against Trump. One aide who was given a plum position on the board of Trump’s social media company, for example, got the seat after he was subpoenaed but before he testified. Significant changes to a staffer’s work situation, such as bonuses, pay raises, firings or promotions, can be evidence of a crime if they come outside the normal course of business. To prove witness tampering, prosecutors would need to show that perks or punishments were intended to influence testimony.
