For what it's worth when I met him the first time my impression was that he's fit, not that he's short. I told my wife he's someone that probably would've played lacrosse in college. I didn't think of him as 'short' until he brought it up today. That's why I go back to just MIMH fixing his percepti...

Alright... let's hear numbers, fellas. Dodint is a monster, so "short" to him is relative. We talking 5'8"? 5'6"? 5'3"?

I think for this specific target demo, the democratic ethos needs to just be "do no harm". I don't think they should be actively courted, just frequent allusions to conservatives being weird about things like the NFL, light beer, Taylor Swift, and movies/TV. Like, you aren't going to win the people ...

I think he’s likely in line to piggyback falter on Sunday, meaning falter will have basically no leash.

Sounds like bednar is like days away, but Chapman is fine to close. Just going to be how many outs can Borucki get everyday.

Moving on to game 2. AJ Puk is making his first ever start. I've never seen him, but I think he's like a long lefty with a funky delivery. Hopefully Olivares starts, seems like he should have started over Rowdy yesterday. They pulled Luzardo very early last night, I don't think they'll be as cautiou...

I think a number of things going on. 1. For contrarian/malcontents that are in that 18-21 range. Being annoying online has replaced things like punk rock, or whatever sort of sub culture that aligned with people that are upset with things. 2. Then, I think for the post college, young professional in...

I was telling my wife this morning that MLB does this stupid thing where there isn't any games (or only 1-2) the day after opening day. How every year I go and get excited for baseball after that first game, and nope...no game. She looks at the schedule and says "The Pirates are playing tonight at ...

Pure chaos

Struck out 17 times, made the marlins staff throw 213 pitches. Bullpen with 5+ scoreless innings.

The HRs are quite exciting to see. Game 1 and all, but just for some reference this is a team that is basically always at a < 1.00 HR/G pace.

Why are you not calling out Russ as a 3rd round sb qb?

And I was trying to think of who those 2nd round ones are. And gave up.

The GOP tact since the Obama election has been to just gin up the loonies non-stop. Loonies come in all shapes and sizes, and if the dems were lead by Bernie, then it their tact would be to constantly gin up the lefties. But, the party rallied to stay on the emotionally static side. The GOP lost the...

The talent level is most definitely an improvement. But there’s going to be too many bumps in the road along the way. Plus, last year’s team played above their heads for two decently long periods I think Hayes, Cruz, and Reynolds are core pieces that have high production floors that will at least r...

I'm the optimistic one? That's not a good sign.
83-79

I think the division is bad. Cardinals are old, brewers are retooling, and the reds will crumble facing expectations. Cubs will run away with first place. But pirates compete with the other teams.

Joe Lieberman, gone, and good riddance.
Had to check if either he was dead or withdrawing his name from consideration for the No Labels ticket. Thankfully, the former.

And good riddance, he was integral in ensuring that obamacare was a trash healthcare compromise.

Anyone else concerned about the Center situation? Looking around, they have to draft a C in the 1st or 2nd round, don't they?

That Alabama election last night was wild. Dems kind of crushed that and the Republicans are still pushing the abortion/IVF stuff. Incredibly small turnout, but the margins pretty clearly illustrate who is motivated to actually vote. But I do think special elections have always been a better harbin...

You're referring to the people who actually bother to read one article or watch one report on RFK.

Because Democrats **** love them some Kennedy.
A normal Kennedy got smoked in a senate primary in Massachusetts. I also know one rfk supporter, he’s an antivax, crypto guy, self described libertarian. That, to me, is the rfk voter.

I’m confused why people think rfk is stealing votes from Biden.

The no labels ticket, yeah, that would peel off center right soft Biden voters. But rfk is a home for the “pox on both their houses”,
Joe rogan types.
