We've got to be at the top of the stats when it comes to leaving RISP
We’re not even in the top half of the league.

On brand. Don’t question authority. Believe the lies.
Cui bono? It makes no fucking sense that the medical staff would lie about player injuries. There's no benefit to it.
Y'all need to grow up and realize that in the real world, medical diagnoses and treatment plans have a measure of uncertainty and error.

Everyone involved with the Astros medical staff, from the head trainer to the intern that takes coffee orders, needs to be fired. This shit is absurd.
Yes, because this is all an exact science with rigid timelines and no one ever has a setback.

Prompted by an article I read this morning about how red hats fetishize the Declaration of Independence and are planning public readings of the document this week, I gave it a re-read this morning. It's fascinating as a historical document, but people forget that it has no role as an establishing document for our government.
One aspect of the document that caught my eye at this particular moment in our history is the listing of grievances and evidence of tyranny presented against King George III. Couldn't help but notice some striking parallels with our wannabe tyrant:
- He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither... Concerted effort to delegitimize birthright citizenship
- He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices... Though he hasn't been completely successful with this, it's clear that he considers the judges he appointed beholden to him
- He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance... DOGE
- He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures... Mobilizing the CA guard without consent from CA governor or legislature
- For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us... Marines in LA
- For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world... Tariff war
- For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent.. Tariff war
- For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury... Suspension of due process for deportees
- For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences... El Salvador prison - but this one's a stretch I guess since Trump offers no pretense of a trial
- He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us... January 6th
Except for the last one, this is all in just the last 5 months.

Way easier to find examples of this than teams that have mashed their way to a World Series win.

You can win a world series with them in fact.
Can't even list all of the times this has happened. A mediocre offense that finds ways to score and two lockdown starters.
The two that come to mind immediately are the '01 D-Backs and (GODAMMIT!) the '19 Nats.
It's like having a lights out defense and serviceable QB in the NFL.

Ok, you're not wrong, but this is not the first time he's done exactly this and been chastised for it. He was doing it deliberately in order to provoke a reaction. Context. Context. Context.
And again, the main point of contention was that he was spouting EU Great Replacement Theory bullshit (which is blatant, naked racism) alongside the use of that pejorative.
I will say it again, you lack the proper context. You're literally the guy Walter was ranting about in the Big Lebowski, wandering into a conversation you have no frame of reference for in order to wag your finger and play hall monitor.
Ok.

You think that was why people were calling him a racist? Go back to the Elon thread, dude, you're out of your element.
I mean, you highlighted that word in the post where you called him racist. That’s pretty strong context.

Not defending RK. I can’t defend his lack of empathy and general assholery.
I just think we are all better served by being a bit more judicious when labeling something as racist.
“Gypsy” is a word that we would all do well to remove from our vocabulary, but there is a LOT of education that still needs to happen on that front.
In modern American English, that word has come to be associated more with an itinerant lifestyle rather than with the Roma people directly. I don’t immediately assume racist intent when I hear someone use it. It’s usually complete ignorance that it has any pejorative connotation at all.

what the fuck even IS an "islamist"?
Islamist and Christofascist are equivalent terms. Both seek a return to religious fundamentalism and religious control of government. Islamist has been a pretty standard term in geopolitics for more than a quarter century.

Kinda strange that “Islamist” is a term that trips the breaker for some when “Christofascist” is perfectly acceptable.

As a retired military officer, I'd much rather leave the enemy with a sense of dread and a question of "how the fuck did they do that?" than get praise in the papers.
When the press asked FDR where the bombers in Doolittle raid launched from, he simply said "our new base in Shangri-La."
OPSEC continues even after the mission is complete, meathead (Hegseth).

Watched it a few nights ago. It's a movie I'll watch several times a year and definitely a top five movie for me.
I didn't read it, but my wife was telling me she read that Dreyfuss and Shaw didn't really get along and it made the scenes between them two so good due to it. Has anyone else seen this?
"That's a 20-footer." "25. Three tons of him".
Also, the rare occasion the movie is better than the book.
Cautionary Tales podcast had a "Jaws at 50" episode last week. It goes into the dynamic between Shaw and Dreyfuss quite a bit. There is a theory that Shaw was going really method to generate actual tension between the two so that it would come through in the performances. Once they filmed the Indianapolis story scene, Shaw's antagonism of Dreyfuss stopped completely.

Eh... there's a lot of hindsight factored into this point of view.
There's a lot to be said for being able to hire a personal trainer and manage nutrition very early in one's career to accelerate development and maximize earning potential. Tatis got all those benefits at someone else's expense.
He sold equity in his potential earnings to an investor. If he gets injured or flames out early in his career, that investor has to eat the loss. He signs a $340M deal and everybody wins.
I'm a Tatis Jr fan, but I have very little sympathy for him here. He has an AAV of around $24M. Between his agent and BLA, they probably take around $2M each, leaving him with around $20M before taxes per year for the next ten years. Cry me a river.

I fail to comprehend how an Astros fan in 2025 can be nervous about a series in the first week of July.
We’ve been in a golden age for a decade.
It don’t make a shit until September.
