My grudges are stat based. Like why doesn't a HBP count against WHIP when it's the same as a walk? Why does a flyout that drives in a run get special treatment over a groundball that drives in a run? And, most importantly, why aren't socks regulated? Everyone should wear high socks! It's prettier!

My girlfriend and I have been together for 11 years, and in that time, we've been SCRUPULOUS "money managers," very frugal, spending wisely. And we have NEVER had trouble making ends meet in the way that we have since January 20, 2025. This is ALL due to TRUMP, and Americans are realizing it.
