  1. Still can’t believe they gave away a generational talent for the equivalent of like Ronel Blanco. This should be the only thing anyone talks about ever.
  2. Biden needs to utilize the power of his office. Call a national, primetime address. Lay out for the American people the lose-lose position presented to him by the GOP. Most of the country has no idea what a debt ceiling is, but will blame the administration of shit goes to hell (and Republicans know this.) He can accurately frame this for the electorate, but it will require the battle to be fought outside of Twitter and CNBC.
  3. Dusty Baker is not a serious person.
  4. The people who would appreciate a "both sides" cable news network are not the people who watch cable news.
  5. I like seeing this hardball from Biden. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/military/biden-admin-may-halt-move-space-command-alabama-abortion-law-rcna84336
  6. Lunatic walks into a congressman's office with a non-firearm weapon and... guess what, nobody died. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/person-attacked-virginia-congressmans-staff-baseball-bat-district-offi-rcna84505
  7. Fatalities Rachel Scott (aged 17), killed on grass outside west entrance by Harris Daniel Rohrbough (aged 15), killed at bottom of stairs leading to west entrance by Harris William David Sanders (aged 47), shot in hallway adjacent library by Harris; died of blood loss in a science classroom Kyle Velasquez (aged 16), killed while sitting in a chair near the middle of the north computer table in the library by Klebold Steven Curnow (aged 14), killed at the west end of the south computer table in the library by Harris Cassie Bernall (aged 17), killed under library table No. 19 by Harris Isaiah Shoels (aged 18), killed under library table No. 16 by Harris Matthew Kechter (aged 16), killed under library table No. 16 by Klebold Lauren Townsend (aged 18), killed under library table No. 2 by Klebold John Tomlin (aged 16), killed next to library table No. 6 by Klebold; after being wounded by Harris Kelly Fleming (aged 16), killed next to library table No. 2 by Harris Daniel Mauser (aged 15), killed under library table No. 9 by Harris Corey DePooter (aged 17), killed under library table No. 14 by Klebold Sorry Isaiah and Lauren, fatty doesn't consider your life statistically significant.
  8. Hey look, an actual groomer.
  9. Actually, they showed him practicing alone in a dressing room in front of a mirror. I think it's more likely he shits the bed when the bright lights are on him.
  10. If Kelvin Banks keeps it up, then he’s the next entry on this list. Hard pressed to find a more impressive true freshman season at ANY position in our program’s history. Just a menace from day one.
  11. The video itself is.... fine compared to the other teams. Probably lower half in creativity (They'll never see Paul Wall coming!). The fact that the flow of the schedule is still a mystery after watching the video makes it absolute garbage.
  12. Carson gets zero votes if he sits next to Yam Yam and Carolyn. I think Carolyn is taking this thing.
  13. How do you fuck up a schedule reveal video this bad? The only thing you absolutely have to do is reveal the opponents in order, and they couldn’t even manage that.
  14. Correct! A country full of people who look at a traitorous authoritarian and an old dude who isn't Abraham Lincoln and say "meh both of these dudes suck!" does enable some incredible behavior.
  15. To be clear, all it took was some pushback and McCroskey has gone from saying that both candidates are "equal level morons" to "well, Biden sucks because he is not George Washington." These fence straddlers think they are much smarter than everyone else by pointing out flaws with both sides, but in actuality playing the "middle" is the laziest route a person can take. It requires no critical thinking, no commitment, and almost always falls apart after the slightest interrogation. The insistence to "well, actually.." politics without fully recognizing the dangers at our doorstep will lead to the downfall of this country. The comment below was honestly made in a fit of emotion, but I'm glad to see the ensuing conversation has proven me correct.
  16. Please tell me you understand the difference between “we deserve better candidates” and “both candidates are equal level morons.”
  17. You (and not like a general you - I am specifically referring to the human being logged into the “McCroskey” account) are everything currently wrong with the country.
  18. I mean I agree with these feelings in the moment, but we are kidding ourselves that anyone will remember this 18 months from now.
  19. Lol at Collins voluntarily tanking her primetime slot before it even premieres.
  20. Yeah, Chandler is definitely trying to become the next Drellich.
  21. This got me curious so I looked at all (most?) of the names that were tied to us in the offseason: Willson Contreras - 5 years/$87.5m - .266/.343/.395 WAR, 0.5 WAR Brandon Nimmo - 8 years/$162m - .300/.400/.446, 1.4 WAR Michael Conforto - 2 years/$36m - .168/.300/.297, -0.5 WAR Andrew Benintendi - 5 years/$75m - .262/.314/.315, 0.0 WAR Josh Bell - 2 years/$33m - 2 years/$40m - .222/.331/.365, 0.0 WAR Anthony Rizzo - 2 years/$40m - .296, .385, .467, 1.2 WAR Christian Vazquez - 3 years/$30m - .225/.303/.263, 0.0 WAR Tucker Barnhart - 2 years/$6.5m - .182/.245/.205, -0.3 WAR Yuli Gurriel - 1 year/$1.25m - .256/.295/.402, -0.1 WAR Daulton Varsho - .240/.320/.411, 1.0 WAR (meanwhile the pieces Toronto gave up to get him, Lourdes Gurriel Jr and Gabriel Moreno, each have 0.9 WAR) Justin Verlander - 2 yrs/$87.7m - 5 IP, 0-1, 3.60 ERA, 0.1 WAR (immediately put on injured list, lost his only start of season) ---- Conclusion, that's a whole lot of suck. The only dudes who unquestionably would have made us better to this point are Rizzo and Nimmo, and I'm not sure there's any way we would have been able to pry either of them from NY given the offers they received. (And, while Nimmo would have been an upgrade in 2023, that contract has a chance to get real ugly by the end.) And sure, we would also prefer Bell's numbers to what Abreu has been putting up, but we would still be bitching at the signing had we gone that route. Also, all those weird rumors about how we didn't want to use Contreras at Catcher seem to be pretty prescient given the recent developments in St. Louis. While our three big contracts (Montero, Abreu, Brantley) are looking like shit so far, that seems to be a theme for all the players on the market this past year. Just a complete dud of an offseason. (And this is not meant to be a defense of the front office, just a statement about the players who were available.)
  22. 20 carries for 61 yards and no TDs as a Senior last year... before quitting in October to enter the transfer portal.
  23. Stumbled upon the official aggy roster page, and honestly I hope Weigman sues the photographer for what they did to him here.
  24. Bregman's play has declined significantly since he stopped being one.
