Trading Rafael Devers when he had a 900 OPS and was refusing to learn 1b was a great move. Every year he has a 900 OPS at some time and then drops far below it.
For the Giants he had a 807 OPS & ain't getting any younger or cheaper. The Red Sox roster then was all guys willing to do anything to win

I hate these kinds of posts. When people say they are disappointed in Trump and no longer support him, it's foolish to waste time saying "Nyah Nyah, told you so."
Just welcome them and move on to convince more people to move to the right side.

Trump is third-generation on his dad's side, second on his immigrant cleaning-lady mom's.

The Kavanagh Stop:

Crash into the car, drag a woman kicking and screaming out of it, then throw her on the ground to ziptie her hands before leaving her car wide open in the street. Presumably her purse, *with her ID*, is still in the fucking car.

Guess we know where the Proud Boys are now.

Is Senator Bill Cassidy, a physician, going to idly sit back and watch the dismantling of the CDC by the trump administration. More layoffs at CDC of the EIS officers who investigate outbreaks, and team that puts together the weekly publication MMWR. Trump and RFKJr must be stopped. #DV1 #ProudBlue

Guy writes #dailytarheel column defending #UNC trustees from Clemens lawsuit. Trustees better hope their lawyers have better arguments than this. It's OK to violate the open meeting law in one month as long as you agree to have an open meeting a few months later?

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.
