Skubal can still make adjustments. Miz not finishing 5 puts a lot of stress on the pen and effects might be felt later in the series.

Of course, you still have to vote. Don't leave it up to someone else to do it for you.

You could say this about the whole Dodgers team, but someone has to just get them to the playoffs. Maybe the Dodgers just field two teams.

I saw it in Chicago. And the Talarico ad.

Dems don't. That shouldn't hurt them this fall, but they need a platform by 2028. Luckily, the presidential nomination process will do exactly that.

I think you're wrong, sir. That ball was a home run had it not hit the truss. It was still going up at a decent speed. But the rules are the rules. On to game 2.

I think I am. It won't be great for the top free agents, but, like I wrote, it'll be awesome for the mid tier. There are way, way more mid tier guys. Also, more billionaire owners will have to pay more than billionaire owners who will pay less. And, it'll make the sport better.

sirhpflashman.bsky.social @sirhpflashman.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

It's going to happen and I'm all for it. It'll be godsend for mid-level FAs and make the sport more competitive.

Of course she is. She'll go a long way to minimize the financial advantage that the Dodgers have. It also feeds into her stance against the salary cap. Luckily, it's still gonna be a thing come 2027.

On paper, Milwaukee offered more. Detroit just really wanted Hope as well as the pitchers.

sirhpflashman.bsky.social @sirhpflashman.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Nah. Speaking as a Cub fan myself, it's dead inside. There's no feeling at all.

sirhpflashman.bsky.social @sirhpflashman.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

In late August, I had a feeling he'd be awesome in the playoffs. The Dodgers simply don't care about the regular season. They're there to turn it on for the playoffs. It'll be a 3-peat and they're the favorites for 2027 (if there's a season).

sirhpflashman.bsky.social @sirhpflashman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I've watched Counsell this season. Did an outstanding job working thru massive pitching injuries. But, his body language in the playoffs is terrible. He looks nervous and his team played like it. He's a great manager (small m), but a terrible leader.

The first two were. The second stimulus was signed into law Dec 27, 2020. That being said, the third stimulus was a mistake and it was the biggest one. The with that being said, we are way past the impacts of that stimulus and Hassett is full of shit.

Go vote. None of that happens if people take it for granted that it will.

I checked out of pop country because it's so unbearably generic. I listened to that song. It's fine, but I never need to hear it again. There's nothing special about it & that's exactly why it's such a tremendous hit. It nailed generic. There's no more generic that could have been put in that song.

Why can't I log in to my account from the pop up? It only gives me an option to start a free trial. I have an Athletic account.

We are very segregated across the board musically and that's sad. I don't see an album like "Rumours" and the cultural impact it made (for half a century!) being made again.

I heard it for the first time yesterday. I listen to a lot of music, mostly thru Sirius, but none of the stations I go to play it. Of course, that's true for a lot of top hits across genres.

He knows the full story. Every detail, but when inconvenient stories come his way (or Johnson's) they claim ignorance. What a coward.

He's right. There's no way this Congress is smart enough to do just about anything. Regulate AI???? Phtttt! Mitch McConnell doesn't even know where he is.

Nobody takes what he says seriously. He's the weakest president we've ever seen because he's neutered the power of his voice.

sirhpflashman.bsky.social @sirhpflashman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

He was so good. Really interesting. Never held back. Never talked down to the audience. He will be missed.

sirhpflashman.bsky.social @sirhpflashman.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

A lot of the innovation tied to AI is done under the premise of "We need to do X because the Chinese will beat us." I'm at the stage that maybe we let them. It's eating our soul. Maybe when politicians make that argument (and it's not wrong), we say that's fine.

sirhpflashman.bsky.social @sirhpflashman.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

For sure. Again, no argument from me that early precautions weren't vital. They were. My argument, in retrospect, was that they went too long and that extention caused unnecessary harm in many areas.

000

sirhpflashman.bsky.social @sirhpflashman.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

But those "coattails" were applicable across the country. He pushed the envelope where others didn't. No argument from me that those coattails weren't important. They were. Without that sacrifice, the rest wouldn't have been possible.

sirhpflashman.bsky.social @sirhpflashman.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Also, it's not that some weren't calling this out in real time. DeSantis, for example, was pushing to open quicker, did open quicker, and, in retrospect, looks prescient now. I'm not a DeSantis supporter, but I also think it's important to call out those that got some things right.

sirhpflashman.bsky.social @sirhpflashman.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Agreed. It's way easier in retrospect. But it is clear now there was an overreaction and that overreaction did have negative consequences and not just "inconvenience". Children lost valuable months in classrooms, for example.

sirhpflashman.bsky.social @sirhpflashman.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Genuinely curious... Are there people now who don't think we overreacted and the lock downs went on too long? I'm wondering what this post is a reaction to.

sirhpflashman.bsky.social @sirhpflashman.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

I dunno. I kind of thought it was a nice break. What upsets me way more is what it did to schoolchildren. And what it did to the social life of those in their 20s.

He's describing Medicare for All. He's so DSA.

Right, and then watch the American people turn on that President and ask why he/she decided to light $500M on fire.

sirhpflashman.bsky.social @sirhpflashman.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

The best thing for the game is a cap and minimum. A high minimum would be best for the mid range players. I don't care about the top players. They'll do fine. If the game does better and the owners make more, that's great too. But the best thing for the game is a cap and minimum.

sirhpflashman.bsky.social @sirhpflashman.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

You still need to parties to make the deal and it doesn't have to be zero sum. Both can win and so can the game.

110

sirhpflashman.bsky.social @sirhpflashman.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

There are two parties here that have to make a deal. It's not a zero sum game. It's excessively rich people on both sides.
