Well, that’s pretty much it, isn’t it?

This post, by the way, was predicated on the idea that Soto was done for the night.

Well, that was something even worse I hadn’t even considered.

Soto better not walk a run home here

Now that was bad luck. Soto got his soft contact and Javy couldn’t make the tough throw to first.

How baseball is it that Mr Swing At Everything strikes out looking to end the inning?

Put a feather in your cap, Riley Greene!

I am amazed by Robbie Grossman’s platoon split and I wonder how it ranks among qualified batters in history.

Have teams always been so fascist about that kind of thing?

Soto really helped his own trade value today.

I have wondered since the beginning whether Alito leaked it on purpose, whether of his own accord or under strong advisement from his contacts in the party.

Reported incompetence of their armed forces notwithstanding, I believe an adventurous Putin armed with nukes is always a worry.

OK

Probably. Maybe they wanted to highlight the idea that numerous doctors are simpatico with a full abortion ban. I don't know how true or not that is.

Scouting reports indicate he could probably use one.

I don't know, I'm thinking we might need to see a little more out of the Reese Olson before we chalk this up in the win column for Al. I'll stick with just the Cubs as preferred trade partners. 😏

Well, gee, if they succeed in trading "just about everyone" away, then don't they also have to let Al go, or at least relieve him of executive general responsibility as general manager, since he was the architect behind this entire mess? They can't seriously expect, believe, or even hope that Al can build a winner out of blowing it all up a second time in less than five years on his watch, can they? That would be beyond asinine.

One week to go meaning what? All of them traded? I'm thinking Chafin might be the only one to go. Unless you think the other three will be DFA'ed, in which case, I'm not sure I agree.

It definitely does not reflect any reasonable reality, but curious as to why you think making the doctor look like a dick is a problem?

There are any number of ex-Soviet republics they could go after. Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Chechnya are all places Russia has invaded just since the Soviet dissolution. Unless you’re going to take Putin’s word for it that he has no interest in any of that, which, not for nothing, a lot of other Republican voters also definitely do.

And the whole weak D strategy of “we can’t get tough like that with Rs because when they win they’ll just turn around and do it to us” is hot garbage, because even if the weak Ds do nothing, Rs are going to “do it to us”, anyway.

Looks awful familiar …

3. Putin will get his nuclear-free Europe and still keep invading neighbors, because look how effective invading Ukraine was.

Well, to be fair, he was already doing that.

Yes, and also, since it’s about controlling entire classes of people, they need to have a god-like figure placed at the head of them to ensure their compliance, and in that world women are taught to obey their men as they would the word of God.
