  1. Does any team do a five-man rotation in the playoffs? I thought all the off days allowed teams to do four.
  2. Not at all. I was building on what you were saying, not arguing against it.
  3. Reads to me as though Baseball has designed it specifically to be that way, to allow teams to plead the small cage theory while they are demanding the money from municipalities, counties, and states. Given that MLB is essentially the sum of its owner parts, it strikes me as a pretty ingenious way to exploit the Sherman clause, essentially colluding to rake taxpayers for our dollars to pay for their vanity stadium projects which, not for nothing, socialize the cost while privatizing the profits.
  4. Double that if he wins a Cy Young and a ring for them.
  5. I may have missed this earlier, but does the debt service sidebar have any implication for the Tigers?
  6. Rep. Stopped Clock, R-CO
  7. I agree with this except for one part: the downtrodden red hats don’t want other people to feel equally miserable as they do. They want other people to feel more miserable than they do. Practically everyone wants to be in the better half of the privilege spectrum. That’s human nature.
  8. That “sweetly pretty” look obviously took a lot of product to achieve.
  9. Interesting mention of "young Ginger" ... you've apparently seen her lately ...
  10. Close: technically, they won the rights to the land in court, then sold the land back to the US government for 150,000 1883 dollars. In practical terms, though, that’s tantamount to a direct settlement.
  11. Alabama and the states right around it do have the systemic exploitation of various types of labor embedded in their history, the memory of which can’t help but have seeped into their communal psyche. There’s probably been a lot of generational nostalgic reminiscence about it that’s been passed down. So in that sense, if it’s going to happen anywhere in America, it’s probably there.
  12. Except her nation lost.
  13. Well, that's one scale off one eye, anyway ... 😉
  14. That would require empathy. Plus, that could never happen to my family. We're god-fearing church-tithing Christians.
  15. I would bet there are literally hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of red hats who would gladly lay you low, at the very least, for badmouthing the first-ever nude-modeling daughter-of-a-member-of-the-Communist-Party First Lady.
  16. I hear you, Sue, and you're totally right on the tangoing, but respectfully, let's be real here: by and large, men simply do not see abortion as their issue. Not even men who have caused women to get abortions care about abortion as an issue. To them, it's just a few bucks out of their pocket, if even that, so no big whoop. There will always be exceptions, like 1984Echoes, but on balance, men will never feel abortion as acutely as women do—if most men feel anything about it at all. Abortion may be the most imbalanced political issue in recent history.
  17. Good to see the liberal media tipping off the Republicans so they can pivot during the next three weeks.
  18. Actually, now that I think more about it, it occurs to me that white South Africans may well be more susceptible to this kind of idea, given how they too were once beneficiaries of a legally-enforced apartheid system of which they now rue the loss.
  19. What the everliving fuck happened to her??
  20. Pass on selling low on Baez. Selling low is part of what wrecked our system in the first place.
  21. FTFY, because only one.
  22. Tudor Dixon is the kind of attractish woman that gravitates to the hard right wing. They missed out on the whole defend-her-honor-from-any-slight era, and they are keen on returning to it because they think see themselves as the beneficiaries.
  23. Time is running out. Gotta move.
  24. Only one side understands that.
  25. Suppressing the vote.
