I am far from a Trump supporter, but I don't think he qualifies as a racist. He is crude, obnoxious, vulgar, and pretty much any other word to describe an idiot.. Yes he is. But if given the choice of Trump or Hillary, the choice isn't even a close one for me. I really don't care about his words all...

Vice Presidents are to America as a Closer-in-Waiting is to Roto.... Agreed but in the case of Donald Trump, it's pretty much vital he makes the right choice otherwise he will Donald Trump his way to a losing election. He needs someone to ground him a little.. A respected man/woman. He chooses a gu...

alan's too young for stockdale kj. palin is a better example. Carson has some sort of personality/ego disorder but he's not a (complete) idiot like Palin ... and I'd bet Alan's my age give or take. Of course I remember James Bond. I actually remember the Phil Hartman skit, better... hilarious. And ...

CBS bloggers are also saying Arrieta, but I'm with you and hope he's not one of them (and I don't think so). I personally have no idea, but we'll find out soon enough. TJ Quin of ESPN, who broke the story said in a tweet there are no big names so that pretty much rules out Arrieta and other stars. ...

If Trump picks a legitimate supporting cast he can win. If he picks either failed re-tread insiders or philosophical whackos he's gonna lose. First glimpse into his judgement on a serious matter (I don't consider all of his BS propaganda to win votes as that serious since little of it would happen ...

Joe Blanton starting to worry if his record will stand. http://www.milb.com/images/430599/generic/180x270/430599.jpg Weighing the two.... Future or demise of the "free" world as we know it vs Joe Blanton I think this subject is just slightly more newsworthy and intriguing, though Joe Blanton is a u...

This has got to be the funniest line in the entire thread... thanks!!! ...

...and after that last 8 years of a divisive POTUS I don't think we need another divisive character. POTUS is the divisive element? Really? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-A09a_gHJc BEF - might want to quote the proper person. I didn't write that, though the statement is not far off from how I fe...

My view of the political race... I have found that Trump supporters are very similar to Trump... they say whatever they want, they dont care what people think, and don't find it offensive to offend someone. I think you will find idiots that follow each of the candidates. Trump has a unique following...

Ghost, Thanks for your post and your service. I am not a vet but can imagine how you feel about the direction the nation is headed. Ghost... thanks. ESPN did it again, removing Schilling from a documentary on the '04 Red Sox. Are you f***ing kidding me??? http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-leagu...

Thought Sean Manaea's price might be 'reasonable' after a so so first start and pleased to have picked him up in my ME for $248 (r/u $216) Very nice. I wish he was available in my main event. He was drafted. You should get good value at that price for 5 months of starts. He isn't leaving that rotat...

Yup... he's been awful. I am considering dropping him in a few leagues .... Jose Iglesias on the waiver wire!!!

It's always a little depressing when the last draft is finished for the year, but I find some solace in perusing the draft boards of other ME leagues. There are always surprises, and some shocks. Here are my lists of the top-5 over- and under-drafted players in 2016 ME Drafts. Top-5 Over-drafted pl...

The Mets are having a good 3rd inning...

80 games. They have to give us the option to drop him. Picking him up might be a different story though I would say he should be able to be picked up. 80 games is a lot of missed time. My opinion anyways.

There is a sitcom I really enjoy watching. It is called 'Last Man Standing'. There were some lines in that show that reminds me of some of the talk on this thread. I'll paraphrase because I don't know the lines exactly... Husband: Oh Man! Who can believe that! Wife: Believe what? Husband: How are w...

Just wait 'til he gets hot.

After all the panic, they have the 4th best record in MLB and 1 game behind the Nats, who are losing games to the Phillies at home, getting shutout by Jeremy Hellickson!!

Neil Walker... just sayin

Very good post driver. Bottom line is, this country is definitely different than when we were kids. Some things have improved, some have gotten worse. My biggest issue with today's America is, we have gone from "Land of the Free and home of the Brave" to "Land of the randomly censored and home of th...

Kershaw gives up 5 runs in an inning. When is the last time that happened?

3 HR's by McCutchen.... nice game... Still has 3 HR's less than Neil Walker, for the season...

Interesting strategy by the Phillies. They pitched around Bryce Harper all night, walking him 3 times, twice intentionally. He comes up with a runner on 1st with 2 outs in the 9th inning, losing 4-3. Stephen Drew on deck to pinch hit for the pitcher. I would definitely have walked him again. He did ...
