I agree, but how do you mean so?

What a memorable, magical day for Miggy.

You know how people sometimes have breakfast for dinner? Bert’s family has dinner for breakfast. Explains a lot. 😉

@IdahoBertgot his six runs!

TORK! Is starting to learn how to catch foul balls behind him.

OK, true confessions time: I went to the show, and I bought the tour jersey.

Sure he has that right. And he has the right to project orgy behavior onto his congressional colleagues, I guess.

The idea that Democratic politicos may not be honorable is a defensible hypothesis and debatable proposition on its own merit. The problem here is the timing and context of the criticism. If the criticism occurs as a response to clear and obvious Democrat malfeasance, then OK, it makes sense to highlight and discuss it. And if the criticism comes up when a Democrat criticizes Republicans for the very same behavior they themselves have been engaging in, then yes, it makes sense to bring up Democrat dishonor on the point. But if it comes up mainly when specific Republican dishonor is being proven, trying to shine the light back on Democrats as being dishonorable in general looks very much like a both-siding strategy intended specifically to neutralize whatever the current specific criticism of the Republicans happens to be at the moment. Personally, when I see this happen, I see it as an admission by the conservative that the point being made about the Republican has been successfully proven—in this case, that Madison Cawthorn is a dishonorable asshole who's been apparently lying about his own innocence regarding orgy behavior by projecting it onto others.

Not for nothing, I want Al Franken to be the Democratic nominee in 2024. I think the guy would make a great president who would pick terrific advisors and got cooperation at least among his own party and maybe even the old-line Rs. Time for him to have a career comeback. If Louis C.K. can have one, then dammit, so can Al.

Of course, because everything with those people is projection. That's practically a Russian national trait. Never, ever forget the Exhibit A projection: "Biden Crime Family".

DeSantis is the very model of shamelessness.

Well, well, just in time …

The outfield should improve as Akil Baddo needs to grab some bench for a bit.

Pineda is an ongoing injury risk, so if we can get can 25 starts out of the guy resulting in something like 125 innings, I would consider that bonus.

Heads up: AMC and Bob Odenkirk will be continuing their relationship. AMC Orders Dramedy "Straight Man" AMC has greenlit eight episodes of the drama "Straight Man" from TriStar TV and Gran Via starring Bob Odenkirk, which is based on the novel of the same name by Richard Russo. Told in the first person by William Henry Devereaux, Jr. (Odenkirk), the unlikely chairman of the English department, "Straight Man" is described as a mid-life crisis tale set at Railton College in the Pennsylvania Rust Belt. Aaron Zelman and Paul Lieberstein are adapting the novel for the screen and will serve as co-showrunners and executive producers on the series. Odenkirk will executive produce in addition to starring. Peter Farrelly is onboard to direct and executive produce. Russo, Naomi Odenkirk, Mark Johnson, and Marc Provissiero will also executive produce. "Straight Man" will debut on an undisclosed date in 2023.

We can choose sides between them, although they're the ones dividing us up by lots between them.

Or it could be the result of an American cyberattack. We keep hearing news stories about how the Russians are going to cyberattack us, but of course, we never hear about American counter-efforts. It's not as though that's not even happening, right?

No way you could get 20,000 legs at a ELPowell show.

What the hell is Americans-care dot com?

That’s still a better ratio than an ELP concert.

What’s the implication? Ukrainian sabotage? Internal sabotage? Putin covering tracks? Something else not leaping to mind?

You’re exaggerating. It’s only 30 or 40 goals.

So even when Disney gets penalized by the state, they still come out over a billion dollars ahead. That’s Peak American Capitalism right there.

What can I say? I’m delirious from the COVID. 😪😵‍🥴 Still both a dick move and a bad move.

Let's set aside the fact that the intentional walk has basically gone the way of the sacrifice bunt as a largely discredited small ball tactic in the first place. Miguel Castro is not exactly chopped liver, or as you might put it, "some random lefty" (although Castro is a RHP). He's a guy with a fair amount of red on his Savant card, especially when it comes to inducing soft contact. And if a right-handed-pitching soft-contact guy can't induce soft contact from a right-handed-hitting 39-year-old hitter who'd been making soft contact all day, a guy who already was 0-for-3 against him lifetime, then what is he doing out there this late in a one-run game? Instead, Boone elected to four-finger Miggy so Castro could face basically our best left-handed-hitter. Granted, he was on an 0-for-18 skein, or something along those lines, but Boone still gave up the platoon advantage to face a good hitter, and he got burned. Plus, in the Scrooge department, Boone robbed the hometown fans of the opportunity to see a living legend hit a milestone goal in front of them. When I add all this up, the result is Boone pushing a button because his finger happened to be itchy and he wanted to come off as a brilliant tactician, except that instead he was just too cute by half. You can choose to look at it as the right move that just happened to go wrong this one time, and that's your opinion, and you are entitled to that. But it doesn't mean you are right. 😄
