I think you gotta at least stick around and give Baby Doc at least one decent chance to make the big moves when it's time. Those three words are carrying a lot of weight here, because now is not the time, and this winter may not be the time, either. The time will be once the base has been effectively laid down—Keith at second, possibly Jung at third, Greene stabilizes, and especially once Clark in CF and McGonigle at SS are here—and we need just one or two pieces to sign or trade for to make a full-on run for a ring. That might not be until 2027, for all we know. But if by that time the owner has passed on trading or spending to bring solid pieces aboard, and/or we start trading young pieces like Skubal for even younger minor leaguers to put us farther away from contention—then it will be reasonable to give up on the Ilitches.

Just a little red pencil here. Hope you don't mind. 😁

Many people who vote for Trump are culturally conditioned to not blame the man when there's cheating going on. They blame the jezebels who lure good men away from their wives with their satanic feminine wiles.

This could be at the far end of the range of outcomes, I suppose, although Biden could merely federalize the Florida National Guard and order them to stand down. So DeSantis would have to know going in that it would be strictly a grandstanding move virtual-signaling to red hats in advance of the election.

Well, to be fair, he is the presumptive Republican nominee for president ...

It still won't be as good as the Imani Gandy joint a couple posts above yours

OK, maybe I can start liking Eddie Vedder again ... 😏 The funny part to me is that, at least within the first seven hours of the tweet, @Hongbit got more likes on this post than the tweeter got on his tweet.

We're never, ever wrong about anything, ever, so double down, baby.

The Red Hat Theory of Presidential Immunity says it's not a crime when Trump does it, which is going to get tested in fron of SCODT.

I promise you Trump has zero interest in going to Canada, Japan, or Australia.

And now she’s going to make a public show of going full Red Hat by excoriating the verdict and insisting the Soros-backed justice system is irretrievably broken and must be broken down and remade until President Trump.

Watching the process through their media and listening to how they framed everything, I don’t think there are too many. Even once the verdict how come in and we were waiting on the results, Fox had analysts on there prepping us for a travesty of justice, and they only escalated it to idiotic proportions once the verdicts were actually read. Newsmax did not even stop short of fomenting a violent uprising among their viewers in response to the verdict.

I had said basically as much for years while we were losing interminably with no end in sight up to the offseason of 21-22, when Little Ilitch showed he would be willing to spend at the right time when we signed Javy and Eduardo. The main reason the spending didn’t work is that Avila didn’t know what the hell he was doing, but that’s not Ilitch’s fault. He trusted his guy, got burned, and to his everlasting credit, ****-canned Avila mere months later when it became clear how terrible the signings turned out. Now that he has signed on Harris, who had new-style GM bona fides coming in and has said all the right things since Day One, I would be genuinely surprised to see Ilitch pull the plug on all future spending and turn us into the Rays at best, and the Pirates at worst. I won’t just assume that’s going to happen at this point. I have some honestly-earned optimism about it.

Jack Flaherty is the truth.

And so this begins.

How sad is it that any number of states will not allow felons to vote for president, but every one of them will allow a convicted felon to be on their ballot?

Next week New Yorker’s cover:

Beat him at the ballot box in November.

Yikes! Triple post!

Drat, double post

“Reporting for duty, SIR!”
