I do wonder how much of this rosy news we can trust, through the fog of constantly shifting disinformation efforts.

He can’t work with insurance companies because they might require minimum prices for some, but I’ll bet a lot of these drugs cost less through Cuban than these same drugs discounted by insurance prior to deductibles being met.

“Pigskin Pete predicts …” Sure. I think he was on 3WE out of Cleveland which we can get in Michigan on a good ionosphere day.

Good thing he's not John Paciorek!

Of course, and like I said there are no Hall of Famers on that list. It's a fairly random collection of players. Still: beats the hell out of 0-for-5 with four strikeouts.

Indeed!

I beat you because you wasted your time typing. 😁

TORK! with the blop single. And the fifth run comes in on a practically patented Javy slide.

Here an interesting way of looking at it …

Yes, I meant Pete Davidson. I wasn’t thinking of Pete Franklin. I was thinking of Pete Davidson and said Pete Franklin by mistake. I have basically been doing for Pete Davidson’s entire career. I blame Pete Franklin for that.

That was a hell of a tag by Javy even if it didn’t work this time.

And the thing is they don’t have to show them all the time! Viewers can already hear them talking! Isn’t that all that matters? Not with BSD, apparently …

I’m getting to the point where instead of running the supplied audio feed under the Tigers video, I might just run the other team’s video feed and pair Dan and Jim from another MLB audio source to that. I am sick of seeing the video on the booth or some interview in the stands, instead of on the field where it belongs. Tigers video is, unsurprisingly, along the worst in the game.

Looks like Robbie Grossman might be born again hard!

I would never underestimate the desire of corporations and states to starve the residents by gutting the tax base for private gain. That’s always going to happen and it would be ignorant of me to argue that it doesn’t. What I am fairly certain of is that, by and large, well-educated young people of considerable talents would not want to be forced to relocate to these retrograde states, especially from liberal bastions in California, Chicago, or the northeast. Affluence born of a career rooted in a college degree has a well-accepted liberal bias. To your assumption, though, to the degree that companies don’t care about having their top management team or young talent in the office, they can have best of both worlds of red state tax breaks and young talent retention. That would be the hope of these states. I’m not sure I agree with you that single-person remote work for inner-circle management and top technical talent will be the norm, but if it is, you will probably be right.

If that’s true, then this country will really be separated economically like nothing any of us have ever seen. Not only will well-educated young professionals avoid moving to states with such restrictions on their freedoms, but corporations also won’t locate their headquarters to those states either, because a lot of their top officers and talent won’t want to relocate to socially-fascist red states. Take a look at the current top five states that are listed as corporate relocation magnets: 5 States That Are Corporate Relocation Magnets All five of the states listed here are moving forward right now on rigging their elections process, politicizing education with precepts based explicitly on a single religion, casting aspersions on the efficacies of their own health systems and professionals, and promoting among all their white residents the proliferation of weapons capable of perpetrating quick mass murder. The overturning of Roe will also lead every one of these states to outlaw abortion outright and possibly put the doctors who perform them and the women who get them directly into prison. That may well be the last straw for anyone considering which states to take their considerable professional talents and tax-paying potential. I wouldn’t be surprised if all five of these states started bleeding corporate headquarters, at least once their talent starts quitting and taking jobs in other states that have more freedom. It won’t happen the very day after Roe gets overturned, of course, but in the space of a few short years, we would start seeing the effects, and it will take a couple or three decades to really be obvious to anyone with their heads still outside their own asses. To attract corporate headquarters in the future, such states will really have to dumpster-dive on tax breaks, which will further bankrupt them and make them even more dependent on federal bailouts to keep their heads above water. And even that might not be enough, because companies would still have to get their talented top people to move to these states, and good smart talented people won’t want to go. The economic disparity between the free states and the fascist states will be as stark as that between the north and the south in the late 19th century. I may not live to see the full effect of that, but you young people here, you watch. That’s what‘s gonna happen.

Well, he can’t risk not getting their votes in the next election. I can’t believe Pete Franklin had to apologize to that crypto-fascist dick.

Sure, it won’t matter in this case. I’m really speaking in generalities.

That’s because Democratic centrists have long had the broad general support of the establishment and to some degree the people at large, and extreme leftists have practically never had that. This is a conservative country with a warped sense of its own frontier history and present, and as such will tolerate as normative the extreme on only one side of the spectrum, because that side is friendlier to lone wolves, and people like to see themselves as rugged individualists responsible for and to only themselves. That’s what right-wing extremism promotes, which is the opposite of the collectivism left-wing extremism promotes. The more any policy requires or promotes any kind of social cooperation among people in order to work, the more likely it will fail in America.

What if they gave a different, less-insulting reason for requiring skirts? Would that make a difference? After all, what is the court ruling on here? The act itself, or the overtly-stated reason for the act? Does the school need only rewrite the dress code requirements and try again?

I don’t know if it’s an old-man problem, or a generational difference, or what it is. I suppose if they’d come out with these when I was in school, I would have liked them better. I did like the Swingin’ A’s uniforms at the time, when they were the only team wearing colors, but then, I was 11 at the time, and I also like any color and gold as a combination. I don’t remember being so smitten with the Indians’ blood clot unis a few years later. I just like the clean, crisp look of a white home jersey with the right kind of logo and font, especially cursive names along the front. I don’t mind the NBA city connects at all, but then, I don’t really care about the history of the NBA, either. I don’t view the NBA itself as being too concerned with celebrating its own history, anyway.

Here is the complete list of every player who had at least two hits and two walks in his debut game, as of this morning. Not a Hall of Famer among them, but who cares. So cool to see him sprint out of the gate like this.

These city connect uniforms are on balance pretty dreadful, and I hope the Tigers are the last team to get one.

Who are you guys and what have you done with the Detroit Tigers?
