Things that interest me: most sports - I'm big into fantasy football, college basketball, Cubs baseball, and Michigan football/bball, lefty politics, music - all variations of rock and Americana, movies & TV, anything that distracts from the hellscape

Isn't that basically what the AfD party is?

Yeah, this is pretty much exactly the type of people I'd suspect.

We already know that in their bad faith, the GOP will claim that illegal immigrants are not 'free' persons.

Poor Mike Trout though...

This is a great idea, but no clue how it would work logistically unless they could only show games that air on Disney owned networks (ABC, ESPN channels, ACC Network, SEC Network)

I can't imagine Fox, Paramount, or any other companies with NCAA TV rights being able to make a deal work for this.

You don't have to draft him when he's already on your dynasty rosters.

He needed to do something cool after last night.

Entered a 1-1 tie game yesterday and immediately gave up 4 runs in 5 batters faced.

Hell of a bounceback today.

That's basically what Tim Walz was doing until the campaign decided they needed to rein him in

I did the same a few months back. So good, but so, so dark at times.

I'm sure he's aware and intentionally leaving it out.

It's technically not a lie - 6.4M votes is the most any presidential candidate has ever gotten in Texas. He's just leaving out the context that there are a lot more voters now than in any previous election.

Kamala got the 4th-highest total in Texas ever.

Trump is always going to refer to whatever number makes him look best.

6.4M is the most individual votes any presidential candidate has ever gotten in Texas, so he got 'the highest vote in the history of Texas!'

Nevermind that Kamala got the 4th-highest total ever in Texas.

Jim, to say this segment is in poor taste would be a massive understatement.

If his parents want to share a message on gun violence, interview them on your show, not a fake version of their son.

Woody's character's twin brother is what puts it over the top IMO.

This is a piece I'd expect to find on Outkick or Breitbart, not the WSJ.

Just sad and embarrassing how far our most prestigious outlets have fallen.

Spelling a little off, but if Jalen Green had lived up to his hype a bit more, Jaylen Brown and Jalen Green would've been a good current NBA one

They're not 'buying propaganda'.

They're comparing what they're being told about the economy to what they're experiencing in their own lives. Telling people they're not actually experiencing the struggles they think they are is a sure fire way to alienate them.

Biden/Harris were patting themselves on the back for slowing inflation numbers and an increasing stock market, but individuals were still feeling the impact of the higher new baseline prices set by the period of increased inflation.

Shit was still too expensive.

Throughout 2024, people were being told how great the economy was doing by Democrats, but shit was still very expensive.

Slowing down inflation doesn't mean things get cheaper...the price just goes up more slowly.

Caleb Thielbar has been SO locked in for the Cubs lately.

Hasn't allowed a baserunner in his last 7 outings.

Since May 1st, he's got a 1.21 ERA, 0.67 WHIP, and 27.4% K rate

Pulled early...this is how Counsell manages his inning count. Like my post earlier mentioned, he's already at a career-high for IP in a season.

Counsell is going to be overly cautious with him the rest of the season I'd assume.

Out of 282 hitters with at least 50 plate appearances with RISP this season, Dansby's OPS ranks 275th, and his strikeout rate is the 15th highest, and he has a bigger sample size than any of the guys worse than him.

Only 3 guys with higher K rates are within 40 PA of Dansby
Only 1 w/ a lower OPS is

01.08.2025 18:53 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

And of course Dansby strikes out with RISP.

Fortunately, if 2024 reminded us of anything, it's that people don't vote based on the economic numbers the gov't puts out...they vote based on how full or empty their own pocketbook is.

Trump's phony numbers won't move the needle if people are financially struggling to get by.

We, as a society, are way too hooked on nostalgia.

Every bad uniform becomes good again if you wait long enough to bring it back and let the nostalgia for it build up.
