We need four outfielders more than we need seven infielders.

I’m thinking he’s is going to use national intelligence to go amp up the efforts to weaponize the government against Trump’s enemies.

Free childcare and $20 an hour go to black people, and taxing the rich sounds like Marxism.

I never noticed before that the first line under the picture says "Oldster Abraham Simpson". Awesome detail work.

Are we sure this was not a recording of Trump yelling into a mirror?

Somehow I have the idea that improving the economy was not his goal with the tariffs.

I agree with you that he doesn't love it. Just saying a levelheaded kid would get that half a season of .262/ .341/.376 at Toledo, good for 95 wRC+, ain't gonna punch your ticket to the Show. At least not yet.

Some people gain. The rest of us lose.

Yes, so much. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4677700-trumps-latest-flirtation-with-nazi-symbolism-draws-criticism/

That was a three-homer game for Madlock!

If he’s as levelheaded a kid as the beat writers are always writing he is, he gets it.

Not this year, we won't. Not in the state we find ourselves in, anyway. This year's what we're talking about, right?

Think so, huh?

This, in one sentence, is what MAGA people mean when they say they hate the "elites". They don't mean rich people. They love rich people. They mean smart people.

It's political Christianity, not spiritual Christianity, the difference between them being easy to tell because even they know Jesus would never say or endorse any of the **** they do.

There are 255 teams in major league history through 2025 that have started the season 22-38 or worse, sixty-four of them starting exactly 22-38. Not only did none of them make the postseason, but also, not a single one of them even finished as high as .500. The highest such a team finished was .493, by the 1899 Louisville Colonels, who'd started out 20-40 and finished 75-77. The highest a team finished after starting out exactly 22-38 was the 1927 Cincinnati Reds, which finished 75-78 for a .490 winning percentage. The average final winning percentage achieved by a team starting out exactly 22-38 is .399, which is roughly the equivalent of 65-97. Even the 1914 Miracle Braves, considered the gold standard anecdote of a team starting out terrible and still winning the pennant, started out 25-35, albeit in last place. Bottom line: according to history, the Tigers' season is done right now. Selling our greatest assets that seem destined to walk during the offseason anyway is a defensible, even preferable option at this point. This is where we see whether Scott Harris has the big boy pants to pull off such a trade and get a favorable return. It can be fairly said that the fate of his entire tenure is riding on how he handles this.

I don't disagree with the gist of this, but it's not as though Tork is blocking someone better. It's entire possible we'd end up with something worse at first.

I can't see anybody taking Tork, especially a contender. If FanGraphs is to be believed, having Tork there makes us the 23rd-ranked team in first base WAR. The only out-of-division possible contender who's worse is Seattle, and they're not so much worse that Tork will make any difference. Funnily enough, the 28th-, 29th-, and 30th-ranked teams in WAR at first base are the Guardians, Royals, and Twins. Tork is probably ours until through least 2028, unless we release him in the interim.

We may never hear the term “avemaga” ever again. From Perplexity: Based on my search results, **"avemaga" or "avemaga.com" appears to be mentioned almost exclusively on social media posts** circulating Trump's announcement, not in mainstream news outlets or independent coverage. Here's what I found: ### Where it appears outside your post: | Platform | Type | Details | |----------|------|---------| | **Instagram** | Multiple posts | Same Trump quote about avemaga.com for gas price relief [1][2][3] | | **Facebook** | Reposts | Spanish-language version of the same Trump post [4] | | **Scamadviser** | Website check | Only mentions the domain registration, not the initiative itself [5] | ### Where it does **NOT** appear: - **No major news outlets** (NYT, WaPo, CNN, etc.) cover avemaga.com - **No independent reporting** on what the website actually does - **No official White House confirmation** beyond Trump's social posts - **No coverage in political news** (The Daily Beast, Yahoo News, DW) about this specific initiative The only concrete info is from Trump's own social media posts from early May 2026, which were then **reposted across Instagram and Facebook** by users sharing his quote. The website itself (avemaga.com) was recently registered but there's no independent verification of what it actually offers.[1][2][5][6] This suggests it's **primarily a social media–circulated announcement** without broader news coverage or independent verification.

I hope they are willing to get brained by a baton for their efforts.

The $64 question here is whether the military is as willing and eager to disregard their limits under the Constitution as much as this president is.

Your keyboard to God’s monitor.

It is well within the realm of possibility that the widespread underperformance is more bad luck than poor development. If it were to keep up like that for a couple more years, then I’ll start asking more questions about development.

Trading Skubal without picking up some of his remaining salary might be difficult. Trading Valdez without picking up the majority of his remaining salary may well be impossible. And that’s even if anyone wants Valdez and his head in their clubhouse at all.

lol “ notoriously exacting.” Sounds like sour grapes from the guys who used to roll Al Avila in trades on the regular.
