  1. So, he’s got this wrong I’m pretty sure. They are still revising his jobs numbers down the next couple months. If you are in power that’s how you went it to play out. Everyone only looks at the headline and doesn’t pay attention to the revisions. He got a months worth of good headlines that apparently weren’t deserved as it related to jobs. I’ve settled above on rank incompetence. He is pining it on partisanship but he’s getting the same breaks he’s bitching about Biden getting. all that said if we’d have gotten the jobs numbers right for the last 18 months the Fed would be 100 basis points lower and mortgage rates would be as well.
  2. I don’t believe that. I saw 251M. Those guys that say shit like that always get wrong the fact that you need to count benefits. I want a better source than those goofs (I like them- this ain’t their lane).
  3. Jobs are fine. 4.2 isn’t going to cause any problems. 5% is considered everyone employed but the lame, lazy and halt interest rates are more determinative than jobs in the sector (for now). That can flip obviously but we are nowhere near that territory.
  4. I don’t think that’s what’s going on. Look at the native born American numbers and the foreign numbers over the last 5 years and they are incredibly different. I think this is immigration related. I’m not swearing to that it’s my suspicion though. Lessening a population is never conducive to making GDP go up. Or filling more jobs. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea, just it’s going to have certain downstream effects and I’d think total job population would be one of them. At any rate, that wasn’t my point in the post you replied to (I think you know that) it was rather to point out that’s impossible to conceive of the BLS being partisan hacks anymore (that was one option on the table) we instead have to go with fucking incompetent. fix the damn model assholes.
  5. Stop me if you’ve heard this before… jobs report from last 2 months revised downward 228k. BROKEN
  6. OK, looking at the pitching schedule ESPN has posted for the first 2 series of roadtrip: Friday- Brown, Saturday- Gordon, Sunday- Valdez Mon- Unkown, Tue- Unknown, Wed- Brown. I bet that this schedule gets messed with. Brown needs more days off, not less. Wednesday against Miami would be 4 days rest- he hasn't been so good doing that this year. Arrighetti pitched today and threw 80 pitchers- Wednesday would be 5 days rest. I hope that it goes: Monday- Alexander, Tuesday- Ullola, Wednesday- Arrighetti. Friday Brown, Saturday- Framber, Sunday- Gordon LMJ on the disabled list. Gusto traded. Javier probably going to make 1 more start in Sugar Land and come up the next week. This would be an amazing time to tell Ullola- hey buddy- you get 1 start- in an almost major league park- and we already have your return ticket purchased. No big deal, get your feet wet- go striike some people out and try to walk fewer than 6 in 5 innings. Holy shit I'd be happy.
  7. I know. I’m just feeling froggy.
  8. It’s had 5 hours to sink in and I’m happier than a 3 peckered billy goat. I’m telling yall this jams our window open to 2030 or beyond. we will be the AL favorites (or in a crowd of 2 or 3 teams anyway) at least through 2028, and I expect Dana to turn it all over by then. just a franchise altering deadline adding quality players with multiple years of club control, hanging onto every important prospect. we won’t have to go to FA until at least after 2027 for anything other then a backup catcher for a year or two. Outstanding.
  9. Fuck em and feed them fish heads. We are better than those slapdicks and have a 5 game head start and an easier schedule coming in.
  10. The only thing I care about in that line is 79 pitches. bring him up and start him 8/6. He might suck for a couple starts as he’s always been a slow starter at every level he’s at and this is a major readjustment but he will be rocking and rolling come September.
  11. In the position players? Who is gone before the end of 27 other than Caratini (25) and Dubon (26).
  12. I fucking hate that fucking arsonist so this is just the cherry on top of a wonderful fucking day. Fellas we just replaced 4 fucking piece of shit ass players that we've been playing every day for the last fucking month with Jeremy Fucking Pena, Carlos Fucking Correa, Urias and Jesus. Those guys are alright. Who they are playing for instead are awful. Your best 9 in the playoffs: Diaz, Walker, Urias, Pena, Correa, Alvarez, Jesus, Cam, Altuve-DH. Bench- Dubon, Caratini, Matthews, Melton. That team FUCKS. The best news is- other than Alvarez all those fuckers are here. So, Melton, Matthews or Caratini in his spot (If Caratini then Altuve to LF and Caratini to DH, if anyone else they play LF) and that team is fucking tits defensively (other than LF) and not a bad hitter offensively. Whooooooooooooooo! Also- everyone other than Caratini is back for at least next year. Everyone other than Dubon is back for 2027. This is awesome!
  13. I mean- we will get nothing and like it. Or it will be awesome! Who knows.
  14. I’d trade for him too. something like JV and 4M for Jason Alexander and Shay Whitcomb. the Giants are working with JV to send him somewhere he’d like to be. I have to think that the list is houston and Detroit. he could be our 5/6 guy. Framber, Brown, Cease, Arrighetti, Javier, JV. That works for me dog.
  15. Pretty sure they can fuck right off. Cesar is a rental. Their catcher position is fucked and they went to compete now. They need catcher, OF and Utility guy and their chip is a really talented pitcher pitching like shit this year. In no world is Yainer Diaz going over there even straight up.
  16. Urias could absolutely allow them to move Dubon in a Cease deal. Cease deal could be something like: Dubon, Caratini and Melton for Cease. The Astros would still be under the CBT. They could then move something like Blubaugh or Gordon or Gusto for Mullins and $3M. That team is under the tax and your playoff roster likely would be: Diaz, Walker, Altuve, Pena, Urias, Trammel, Mullins, smith, Yordan 9 best arms: Framber, Brown, Cease, Hader, Abreu, Arrighetti, Javier, Garcia, Sousa tbats a roster that can win the World Series this year. The only piece that might be important that you gave up to accomplish that would be Melton. That’s a fair trade to me. that deadline wouldn’t be as sexy as Correa but it would be effective.
  17. He said float. The BLS couldn't possibly mess up the jobs numbers for the 29th time in the last 30 months. I don't know if I believe him.
  18. I just want to say that if we get Carlos Correa it will be a very very very happy day at my house and all yall saying no to that deal should feel very bad for being very very wrong. It's too awesome to happen I'm afraid. I don't want to get my hopes up. But come on, make it so.
  19. Tick tock fucking Dana.
  20. I think if we’d have switched special teams with Georgia we’d have won both those games. They just dominated us so thoroughly in game 1 that it led to all sorts of problems that really did us in. Maybe that wouldn’t have been enough to win game 1 but they were awesome and we were terrible. Standard competence on ST and we win the title game.
  21. Y’all are on your way to being ok again.
  22. Still trying to convince him to waive the no trade.
  23. I hate the Astros, baseball and all of yall. Unless we win. Otherwise fuck off.
  24. Your best 9 bats until we get Pena back: Altuve, Caratini, Diaz, Smith, Walker, Trammel, Dubon, Matthews, melton. that’s it. No more guys other than that. I’m getting so sick and fucking tired of seeing multiple guys from that group of 9 sit every day for a week plus. Motherfucker this team is teetering on the edge. unless can smith shattered his arm in 3 pieces. Then whatever- that still doesn’t excuse the bullshit from the last week.
  25. I swear to God I would like to go kick Joe Espada in the ribs until I hear one or two snap. motherfucker/ play your best bats right now every fucking day until we get guys back. son of a fucking bitch you room temperature IQ waterhead.
