    This.  And in Vegas, they can drop you off at the front, where an Uber at some places drops you off around back or wherever, because that is the designated rideshare spot.  

    vegas is cabs only. ubers leave a digital trail. get it together, rookies.

    I'm still of the belief that Bregman will sign a lower offer hear over a Correa Minnesota style offer.  If Bregman is leaving it's to maybe 6-8 teams.  

    correa’s free agency was a colossal goatfuck.

    It's also to remind everyone how fucking inept Trump was at leading the country.  I genuinely think a lot of people have forgotten how batshit his daily press conferences were.

    I know a lot of retroactive narratives have been written since, but there is not a doubt in my mind that Trump's handling of COVID is the primary reason Biden is in the White House right now.

    this shit right here.  i'm tired of reading stories about the country's collective amnesia about the trump presidency.  i remember it.  pepperidge farms remembers it.

    The presidency has become way more of a powerful position (both in reality and by perception) than it used to be, and voters act differently in presidential elections. I too have zero trust that traditionally republican voters who say they hate trump will stay home or vote against him. First, the fact that they are still staunchly republican means they have some love of cruelty and dislike for "others" and I feel are overstating their dislike of trump. The numbers are still astonishing to me that a vile hateful incompetent criminal of a human is the overwhelming choice of a major political party. That alone is alarming.

    But more importantly, I just see way too many wedge issues prevail on the right. These people, even if they truly do not like trump, will almost certainly fall for the wedge issue of the day. Trump may be a bad guy, but the other side are socialists/baby killers/queer lovers/facists (because covid restrictions)/traitors (because of all these Mexicans). It's gonna happen. I also don't trust that the youths will save us. It was supposed to start happening at least a decade ago and yet we got the most despicable person ever elected (even missteps by Clinton should not have made it even close). And we're already seeing that young liberals are demanding idealogical purity (Gaza being a massive hotbutton for them), and others (males in particular) are falling for the incel "fuck everyone" mindset at way too high a clip. 

    I do still think that Biden will win, but it won't be by much more than 2020, and we're guaranteed that the orange baby will act out again as will his worshipers. 

    there's a large group of americans who have identified as (r) for a long time, probably because their parents were, and have been so turned off by politics (ironically, because of people like trump), that they are purposely disinterested and disengaged.  so when they vote (r), they don't even have to hold their nose.  they purposely don't follow it, they don't talk politics with their friends, they distract themselves with family, kids, reality tv, whatever, and haven't paid attention in 10-15+ years.

    there's no possible way 75mm people know what trump is all about and are like, cool, i'll pick him.  no fucking way.

    Not one to get worked up over Spring Training performances, but we have a lot of important pieces looking like total ass right now.

    i was pleasantly surprised looking up and down the lineup at some of our offensive stats.  typically our bats are cold from march until may.

    Brown/France/Blanco vs Atlanta…might want to leave the roof open to cut down on the LF window replacement costs. 

     

     

    pair that with our typically cold bats out of the gate and should make for a fun april.

  8. regardless of how small or stupid the font was, it still should fill the tv screen at home.  it didn't.  it was basically a concert with stuff going on in the background.  matthew perry, arguably the guy you end on, was barely given a moment.
