Re: Anti-Israel Protesters Block Golden Gate Bridge

https://twitter.com/DarrenTrain/status/1779952872903336017 I've always felt the same way, but it sure seems that a lot of people get involve in blocking highways to bring attention to their cause. In the US it seems like it's mostly leftists, but in Canada and France there were right-wing anti-gove...

Re: Shocking Move!

Do you think that Class starts right away? I wouldn't think the brain trust would want a top prospect riding the bench.

This signals not much trust in Cade Marlowe. Or Luke Raley.

Re: Illegals committing major Crimes

https://www.hoover.org/research/los-angeles-squatters-have-rights-too I kinda figured this is where we are going. I thought it was implicit that taking over a property not your own and without permission was 'trespassing'. Silly me. I did too until I looked up some stuff lately. Squatting goes back...

Re: Calkins gets absolutely slayed for his inane column

I never get very excited about Calkins one way or another, but that was the WORST published piece of sports writing I remember seeing. Not well organized or thought out (or "researched"). Zero to take any from this. Worse than phoning it in. Is there an editor who looks at these columns before they ...

Re: OT Headed to AZ!

Yes, dt, I hope (and have a pretty good feeling that you will) make lemonade out of this lemon. Over the age of 40 *IS* a protected class per the feds, you know, but I suspect you wouldn't want to pursue that. What I don't get is why Neurocrine waited so long (and put you through so much) to figure ...

Re: Illegals committing major Crimes

Squatting perplexes me. I started out thinking it was the same thing as trespassing, but it's not. Two friends of mine who live in reasonably nice suburbs of Seattle have had squatters in their neighborhoods. No, not illegals; in one case it was two (white) couples; in the other case, it was a group...

Re: Trump wants a bloodbath!

It seems to me that the intent is to make people outraged. Killing perfectly healthy newly-born infants? Put me down as a "no" on that, Alex. :shock: But the point isn't to have any rational discussion; the point isn't to have any intelligent presentation of issues. It's just to demonize your oppone...

Re: 4/6 Game Thread: "It's Still Early, Guys!"

2024 Batting averages through yesterday's games: Geno .355 Teo .300 (.999 OPS) JK .583 Does ANYONE think they would have posted these numbers to date if we had kept them? If not, then what explains these great starts? 1. each one motivated by feeling the need to prove something with a new team? 2. n...
