  1. Or his hair buzzed up to sides to the longer hair on top.
  2. Persecution and the claimed threat of mortal violence really do animate those crackpots, don't they?
  3. I think which organization makes the offer matters more than people think. If Arte Moreno were to offer Skubal 10/500 to come to Anaheim and the best offer he were to get otherwise is 8/400 from the Tigers or some (other) perennial contender, I’d bet he'd take the smaller offer to give himself a better chance to win a ring. In a case like that, the marginal utility of the extra hundred million dollars would simply not be enough to consign himself to the second division for the remainder of his career. He's not Mike Trout, after all. 😏
  4. I have never closed the door on Skubal, either. He may not even want to go to Dodgers. Unless something dramatic happens during the season that changes the calculation, I think the possibility of his return will remain an open question until the decision is actually made. It’s hard for us to get our arms fully around this idea, because of the way we’d been conditioned during the years prior to his arrival, but Scott Harris is not predictable as Al Avila was. We can’t know what Harris is going to decide months in advance, and he won’t blab about it in any event.
  5. Absolutely hate the nickname and refuse to engage with it, other than to say that if I were to choose one thing I would never want to contemplate about a baseball player, it would be his ass.
  6. He could also be a good sixth starter, or a backup for when regular rotation guys get hurt.
  7. I don't believe that Parker by necessity should make the team, but I do believe that the Parker decision should be disassociated from the Kevin decision, and I think it will be.
  8. I think the goal is to normalize the rhetoric over time until at some point people won't be able to recognize its absurdity anymore.
  9. Wasn't that always the ultimate goal? Also, if the "Democrat" Party is so "highly incompetent", won't it simply collapse from its own ineptitude?
  10. Thank god Grok is a distant sixth in market share and going nowhere fast.
  11. Christians don’t have to justify his behavior because their Christianity is rooted in social restructuring and politics, not spirituality or morality.
  12. I think the Tigers are way more concerned about 2026 than 2031/2032, and that the only calculation at this point is whether McGonigle is better than the alternatives.
  13. Supposing this is the case, the question would be, is it better to have McGonigle start every day at third, McKinstry/Javy platoon at short, and Colt float around DH/3B/even 1B; or Colt still at third, McGonigle/Javy at short, Javy also at CF in case of/in place of Parker, and McKinstry super-sub especially since Wenceel is probably gone?
  14. Au contraire, for 70 million people, his tantrum act is the epitome of strength, mainly because they never learned what true strength looks like. Their emotional growth peaked in middle school.
  15. Democrats should totally dare him to do it.
  16. I think we will know when the money really moves on such and such a date, because it’ll be coming from the inside.
  17. What is it about Anglo-saxons that so many people don’t understand that they can’t rely on either? Or maybe it’s a language issue in the way the questions was phrased?
  18. Now Trump has his cover to ram this through. As if he thinks he even needed it in the first place—haven’t the Russians always been the good guys?
  19. yeah, just keep telling yourself that so you will feel smarter and not at all horrified when it goes away. 😒
  20. Or to stoop low in that way, anyway.
  21. The only other thing I can guess is that Trump was s***ting us the whole time, the red hats knew he was s***ting us, and this is exactly what all of them wanted in the first place. Because remember: warrior culture craves war.
  22. This is the easiest thing in the world to predict and assumed this was happening, but I have long thought it actually goes beyond this.
  23. Maybe he told her "ruv you rong time" in private.
  24. Oregon has its own checkered history, but it is definitely not the Confederate south, so their conservatism doesn't turn as much on hatred of other people there.
