Define "star".

When seltzers bump lagers and pilsners off of menus, I'll get big mad at them, too.

After Trump's hissy fit about Canada yesterday, I am very interested to see how the national anthems go in Toronto tonight. I brought that up to a like-minded friend of mine, and he believes Trump timed his outburst specifically to coincide with the World Series, because my friend had seen the commercial running on DC TV back in April. As far as I can tell, Trump is using the machinery of government to stoke his base, keep them perpetually enraged, get us arguing and fighting among one another, so we stop noticing while he blatantly and openly steals the money we pay in taxes to the treasury. Trump is an agent of chaos and disorder, and the whole world is letting him get away with it.

I am glad the went-on-for-way-too-long IPA craze is starting to wane, and that pilsners and lagers are on the way back. It got to be too much when i would go to a bar known for its beer and the menu would be all IPAs, weisses, sours, and fruit beers. Bring back St Pauli Girl!

Hey, man, it was the 70s.

Looking forward to the movie Nuremberg.

Welcome to the block!

I’m sure you’ve figured this out by now, but none of this was ever about you getting your country back.

That is a groovy chick.

Well, they are from an “everybody gets a trophy” generation, right?

We’ve got so many guys on the verge of coming up that it’s hard for me to imagine Harris taking a big swing at any of these guys. Especially true on the infield, but even in the outfield we have Max on the verge, Riley there for sure, and I don’t know whether they’ll want to cut bait on Parker just yet. But maybe they will. I know lots of fans are eager for Scott Harris to prove his big boy bona fides by trading away top prospects for top controllable big leaguers, but I don’t know if that’s going to involve position players. If anything I could see trading Thayron and change for a solid starter who’s controllable for a couple years. Still, even if we were to do that, if we don’t sign a guy off that list, I think a lot of fans will regard the winter as an abject failure.

Someone who's good at AI deep fakes should superimpose Biden's image and voice on these kinds of Ttump videos so the red hats can finally get how stupid it looks when a president says dumb **** like this.

Hard to imagine today, but true:

A deeply unserious man leading a coalition of deeply unserious sycophants.

To 4hzglory's point, not if it's a 3-2 count.

I get that the Democrats are being forced to claw back the seats that were de facto stolen from them, and I support that as far as it goes, but it's so sad for our democracy that our votes are being made even less consequential through these essentially disenfranchising shenanigans.

Any quotes from Bill Clinton about this that are more recent than 22 years ago?

By the way, this general notion that Democrats are waiting to fall madly in love with their candidates in the same way Republicans do with Trump remind me of the gainsaying that used to take place on the old board about religion and atheism. Posters there who professed to be Christians used to insist that atheism is itself a religion, with its own worship structure and everything. Those posters could not possibly conceive of the idea that atheists could not need something or someone in their lives they are compelled to worship, as though worshiping were a basic human function like breathing, eating, or ****ting. This is a patently ignorant idea, of course, since atheism is definitionally the absence of religious worship. Same with the idea that Democrats must be waiting for someone to fall madly in love with, as the red hats have fallen explicitly in love with Trump. There may be a sliver of the current Democratic base that is like that, but there is no way that sliver is not way, way, way smaller than the large swath of the current Republican base who have fallen madly in love with Trump. So I am not buying it when I hear anyone opine that Democrats are en masse falling madly in love with this horribly-flawed politician or that, simply because Republicans have fallen so madly in love with Trump. That sounds like something MAGA is trying to sell us to denigrate Democrats as being nothing more than puddles of emotional goo and/or to cover for MAGA's own unrestrained emotionally-gooey horniness for Trump.
