  1. The six words that always precede the dumbest shit you’ve ever heard.
  2. I've seen a few national writers already declaring this portal cycle to be low impact overall, citing the power of collectives. Seems a bit early to already draw final conclusions...
  3. There's too much focus on "how could he possibly fall asleep during something this important?!" and not enough on "maybe our highly curated image of workaholic Donald Trump is incorrect and he's just a normal, old fuck who falls asleep a lot."
  4. Will be fun to revisit all of the “he obviously wasn’t good enough to see the field” comments from yesterday.
  5. I don't want to be hyperbolic, but Clarence Thomas dying might be enough to make me a religious man.
  6. No idea if he's gonna be any good, but I can confidently say there aren't many 18 year olds built like this.
  7. Color me crazy, but signing and then releasing multiple major league relievers in the span of a week doesn't seem like a sign of a well-run organization.
  8. Wasn't meant to be rude, although certainly reads that way (my bad), and maybe I was overvaluing in my mind what "org top 10" meant - because this is obviously highly dependent on the org. My issues were mostly with the position players, as pitching return is always highly driven by what else is out there. Frankly I just don't think Meyers has any value outside this organization, and as much as I love Chas and Pena, I think their returns would shock (in a bad way) many who are still attached to their postseason heroics. And on Javier - I have no idea what to make of him. There was a time when I thought he was a future Cy Young candidate and now I don't know if he's actually any good at all. He's someone who could potentially fetch a ransom from the right team (if we eat some money) or he could be priced as the lottery ticket that he appears to be. All of this only my opinion, obviously. Reggie Jackson, apparently.
  9. I appreciate the thought behind this, but many of these (IMO) are overvalues rarely seen outside the confines of texags. Outside of absolute superstars, sure feels like the prospect return on baseball trades is almost always less than anticipated.
  10. Keep Altuve for the sentimental value, but you gotta listen on everyone else. We aren't gonna be good again in Yordan or Yainer's window.
  11. Either Trump gets blown out or the generally accepted idea of a national campaign infrastructure is completely and permanently overhauled.
  12. This coming less than 24 hours after Trump’s big “LEAVE IT UP TO THE STATES” press tour is some real monkey paw shit.
  13. Republicans are so spooked that Kari Lake has acknowledged she isn't Governor. (But for real, this statement should be a flashing red sign to anyone trying to downplay is coming in November.)
  14. Genuinely unsettling to see Trump correctly reading (at least when it comes to a national ban) a hot button political issue.
  15. aaaaaand they're going after New York, lmao
  16. I get that logic left the chat a while ago but "abortion is literally the murder of babies but also it's up to the states to decide if this is allowed" is an absurd attempt at threading the needle.
  17. He is absolutely perfect as a House troll, and I hope he doesn't preemptively end his career by trying to be more than that.
  18. Also, if we are claiming God is sending political signs to America then he REALLY fucking hated the guy in charge in 2020.
  19. The point isn't necessarily the totals, but the movement. A few weeks ago, Trump was leading all these same national polls.
  20. Everyone knows that Biden voters love defending January 6ers.
