  1. Do you have a source for Loperfido as a throw-in? Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't Loperfido and Wagner drafted by James Click?
  2. He's definitely improved his numbers in 2024 but his 2022/2023 AAA stats weren't terrible either. He wasn't ever getting promoted with the logjam of OFers at the ML level.
  3. He was promoted twice in 2021 and has been stuck in AAA ever since.
  4. For all we know he may have been the centerpiece of Toronto's asking price. I hate losing Loperfido AND Wagner in this deal and frankly am surprised Dana Brown was willing to part with them considering his public comments on air earlier this week about the need to protect position player prospects that can hit vs pitching prospects. Before the trade was announced I was actually hoping for Kikuchi as a trade target because he can eat innings, has good stuff, and was one of the better trade options considering the state of our farm system. I just didn't expect us to give up all that we did to get him. That's a steep price and it's hard to think we didn't get hosed by James Click. The only thing to do now is win the WS with Kikuchi providing some valuable innings and Pedro Leon making key contributions along the way. Fuck it let's ride.
  5. Sy Hersh has gone completely wacko since the Obama administration.
  6. That dumbass in the Space City jersey cheering that HR needs a kick in the nuts and a beer spilled on him
  7. all rookies are snake charmers against us
  8. probably getting traded
  9. Yep, they both remind me a lot of what Howard Dean was doing for Dems during the Bush administration fiasco. He was a great messenger at the time, especially pushing back against Bush administration lies, even against a backdrop of mainstream media normalizing the ginned-up frenzy around the "Global War on Terror."
  10. Walz and Pete are just absolutely COOKING wrt messaging. I can't get enough of them out there on TV reminding the electorate who the adults are in the room.
  11. Probably because that friend believed old people don't have S to get the TDs.
  12. Because I don't think picking Mark Kelly is any more determinative of that than Josh Shapiro or Tim Walz? I do know, however, that seat will be up for a special election in 2026 if Harris beats Trump and picks Mark Kelly as her veep and Dems need EVERY SENATE SEAT POSSIBLE in a Harris administration.
  13. Agreed he is a great candidate and at least his appointee would be selected by a Democratic governor, but is it worth the risk of losing his Senate seat in a 2026 special election when his term is supposed to expire in 2028?
  14. Jagger Beck is a helluva name for a baseball player.
  15. No way, he's too milquetoast as a running mate and is more needed in that Senate seat.
  16. It would also just reiterate the critique of Trump's awful decision-making wrt hiring subordinates.
  17. In which case, your generation's Dark Side of the Moon is OK Computer
  18. Well he said we had two options: either opt for the biopsy in which case he'd be blinding sticking that needle up my ass or I could do the MRI first so he would have a better idea of what my prostate situation is and where to aim the needle in the event the biopsy is needed. That biopsy scares the bejeezus out of me.
  19. yeah that's true and my wife has been telling me to stop worrying about it as well until I know for sure. urologist said it could just be an enlarged prostate causing that elevated number. it's just a gut instinct I have that I can't really shake. My 82 yo mother has been fighting lung cancer (went to her brain as well) for a few years now so I'm sure that's feeding into my mental state. She's been through much of what RDCaneCutter has been through wrt treatment regimen, couple of brain surgeries along the way. Unfortunately we haven't been on great terms, on-again/off-again relationship through all of it, so there's a fucked up part of me that is convinced I'm gonna get it to walk a similar road as mom. Reading this thread is a real perspective punch in the face and y'all fighting it and talking about it are heroes.
  20. she surprised me with a beej and said FUMA last night after I fell asleep. i think my enema talk (prep for the MRI) got her going.
  21. Shit, this is me (54) rn. I'm lowkey petrified I have it and can't shake this foreboding sense of doom that's been looming over me since my routine physical last month where my blood tests came back less than great (pre-diabetic, high blood pressure, elevated PSA of 4.8). My pcp referred me to a urologist and rather than sticking his finger up my ass he ordered an MRI to get a better picture of exactly what's going on. I had the MRI last night and now I'm waiting for a follow up in a couple of weeks from my urologist to go over the results.
  22. One of the biggest surprises of 2024 for me is learning that Colin Cowherd is way more Lebron James/Dan LeBatard than he is Aaron Rodgers/Clay Travis. I never would've guessed that.
