D. Hocking

Is this some sort of analogy about the team?

At this point, I think even bringing up this Cris Carter might improve the offense.

I bet you missed the days when you were a kid and a washing machine was a simple rock and a river. [i am going to pretend the hamster comment never happened).

I wonder how much of his front lawn performance art this morning was due to knowing Manafort was getting his bond revoked and would soon be going to jail. Also, the rumors of Cohen flipping have become more pronounced.

Trump this morning on the White House lawn talking about the dictator who has terrorized his people and murdered to stay in power: “He speaks and his people sit up and [pay] attention. I want my people to do the same”

Now that you mention it, this year might be more like 2011 than 2016, or a combination of both. Not that makes me feel any better. Mauer and Morneau were 23 and 25 in 2006. I am not sure I appreciated how young they were when they became key players.

Listening to Sessions is almost like hearing Jesus himself speak - it is uncanny. I also read that the passage he quoted was sometimes used to justify slavery. Funny that Sessions would be familiar with that. Also,since we are supposedly not a theocracy, should the AG be using the bible for his argument? "I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13 to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained the government for his purposes," Sessions said. "Orderly and lawful processes are good in themselves. Consistent, fair application of law is in itself a good and moral thing and that protects the weak, it protects the lawful. Our policies that can result in short-term separation of families are not unusual or unjustified." https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/14/politics/jeff-sessions-immigration-policy-defense-biblical/index.html?utm_content=2018-06-14T23%3A06%3A05&utm_term=image&utm_source=twCNN&utm_medium=social This mural is one of the first things you see in one of the detention center. I guess there are other presidential murals as well, but that does not make this less creepy. The quote is from his "Art of the Deal" book. I am sure treating these kids like this and probably permanently estranging some of them from their families is not going to come back and bite us down the road. Besides, according to Sessions, Jesus says its ok (I guess technically Paul).

but I bet you could kick bigfoot's ass. http://wickedhorror.thunderroadinc.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Six-Million-Dollar-Man-Bigfoot.jpg

This has had good results in the past. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoLs0V8T5AA (6 Million really seems like a bargain for this now.)

Wow - that statement is cold. (edit - missed wsnydes more timely comment before I replied.)

Did he make Napoleon Dynamite before or after he was with the Twins?

Does anyone know if that Raccoon can pitch? She seems like she would have nerves of steel and is free tonight.

I am still hoping for Beetlejuice. I think he would have a wicked slider. Damn....

I think most of us actually have that remark as a goal to strive for. In retrospect, it probably would have helped if we would have scored with a lead-off triple.

I wonder if he could pitch in the bullpen.

We are going to lose Game 7 of the World Series this fall by a fluky piece of bad luck.

You should not say things like that until the game is over.

I am not going to get too concerned about his hitting unless it continues for a few games after he gets back. I am hoping the fact that he volunteered to hit the second game of the double-header when he was not scheduled for the second game is a better signs of him feeling better. I don't think he walked at all, so he could have been swinging at pitches he normally would have let go by.

I believe the original plaintiff in the case was actually purged when he was serving overseas. He came back and tried to vote, but could not. Nice message, you can risk your life for us, but you do not get to vote. These laws tend to affect college students, renters, and people who move around more, all who tend to lean more Democratic, but I am sure that is a coincidence. I still cannot believe they found part of the the Voting Rights Act was unconstitutional, reasoning it was no longer needed for discrimination purposes. I wonder how much that affected things in 2016.

He is in Singapore, theoretically prepping for a meeting that is probably being done more for a photo-op rather than the time is right for this summit, and he cannot stop tweeting about the G7 summit, trade, and how he is treated unfairly by the rest of the world. Although Trump will know in a minute if the NK summit will work, so perhaps prepping a lot is not necessary. Peter Navarro said there should be a special place in hell for Trudeau, because he basically did not just accept Trump's rantings and contradicted him. Kudlow said Trudeau stabbed Trump in the back. Meanwhile, Putin should not be excluded for "something" he did a few years ago (annexing Crimea). Trudeau is now being demonized far worse than Putin ever has. You can tell he is really beloved and respected by them, especially Merkle. He is looking very dignified and Presidential here

That was perhaps more dramatic than it needed to be....

Radio must be behind the TV because I read this before I heard it (unless you are psychic).

I must have missed that episode, or are they selling these at Target Field this year? I did not realize FDA regulations had been loosened that much.

Sorry - math is not allowed on the game threads.

I think Canada uses fish and venison as their currency.
