I agree that the Tampa Bay Rays do not win every single last trade.

Thank you, Captain Anecdote! 😉

If nominating a centrist justice will yield zero Republican votes anyway, then why had it better be a centrist justice?

This one fits the thread title to a t.

It’s a comedy bit. Are we laughing yet?

That’s what I was thinking, too. Aren’t you supposed to hang up when Tampa Bay calls sniffing after a particular player? 😅 This is great especially for the first half of the season, although I’m not sure what happens after that. We already have a hook-hitting left fielder with iffy D who rakes RHPs and struggles against southpaws, so now we got two of those guys. When Riley Greene comes back, perhaps after the break, who do we slot where? It’ll be close to the deadline and this should give us options, assuming Baddoo doesn’t turn into a pumpkin. I do like that Meadows is only 26, so there’s a decent chance he could be 2019 Austin rather than 2021 Austin. His BABIP was really low last year so that’s a sign pointing to yes. He’s also controllable for three more seasons, which means he could be tradeable the next couple of deadlines if, god forbid, it comes to that. I do agree that trading from depth to get a potential-impact controllable player is a very different move from the type Dombrowski used to make. I like the chutzpah of the move. Although I don’t look forward to Isaac Paredes becoming yet another of our guys who has an All-Star career in someone else’s threads. 😏

That's what happens to people when they self-isolate from polite society.

More like projection that runs through that whole movement.

We need to play our game. Just find a way to get it done.

Here’s something you won’t hear about on Fox News or coming out of certain posters’ keyboards.

Somehow I don’t think it would take much to trigger that crowd on any number of topics.

Auto racing isn’t a sport. It’s an activity in which guys drive 500 miles in a circle. Five hundred miles in a circle?! Children can do that, for chrissakes! Doesn’t impress me. 😏

Since Jarrod Carmichael is hosting SNL tonight, I thought that this would be a good time to repost my periodic reminder that you should consider watching “The Carmichael Show”, a 2015 NBC sitcom that lasted three seasons. It has a very All In The Family vibe and the writing is very strong. It’s the show that also supercharged Tiffany Haddish’s career and gave a nice bump to Lil Rel Howery. https://www.hulu.com/series/631d2e71-dd54-4f16-8728-30bd550e1d12?play=false&utm_source=shared_link

They're right—lying definitely would not have any bearing on his ability as a Republican senator, if by "bearing" they mean negative consequences.

I see that Axios has gotten hammered in other threads as a Republican Trojan, the way Politico has been, but that doesn’t mean China and India aren’t actually helping Russia back on its feet, since that would pass the smell test. US ignores that at our peril.

Red (hat) privilege.

Amid the relentless firehose of seemingly all bad news for Russia, this kind of succor could be concerning.

That, or an indication of an old, even Tsarist, way of regarding their military: as expandable widgets, which can be easily and cheaply replaced if they’re “neutralized”. I see how the first part could be; I’m not so sure the second part is that easy.

Carrol O'Connor was also kind of a diva, according to the new All in the Family book by Norman Lear. Rob Reiner was just as loud at table reads and script pitches IRL as his character was on screen. Jean Stapleton, as a respected stage and screen actress, could make everyone stop in their tracks with a quiet observation or suggestion. It's a book with great insights about the show and the people.
