Shouldn't these updates include whether he watched it athletically?

How the mother actually feels in the moments and hours prior to the actual birth is similar to 90% of last season.

What are you doing back? - obviously the baseball gods want you in the kitchen washing dishes. Do it for the team. We will just imagine what your comments would be if you were here.

POTUS Donald Trump
First pot -- kettle when calling someone a nut-job, but besides that this probably is not good for the Orange one. President Trump told Russian officials in the Oval Office this month that firing the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, had relieved “great pressure” on him, according to a document summarizing the meeting. “I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.” https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/19/us/politics/trump-russia-comey.html?smid=tw-share&_r=0

POTUS Donald Trump
Level headed, thoughtful, completely sane Sheriff David Clarke is joining Trump's administration as assistant secretary in the Department of Homeland, so it looks like Trump is righting the course to be more moderate. https://www.yahoo.com/news/controversial-milwaukee-sheriff-david-clarke-says-joining-trump-administration-201403577.html Apparently Clarke traveled to Moscow in 2015 as part of a National Rifle Association delegation, where he met with a deputy of President Vladimir Putin, so at least Trump is consistent in trying to make sure everyone has some sort of Russian tie.

The Comey memo does not exactly restore my faith in the Orange one in regards of asking Comey to drop the Flynn investigation.. Source close to Comey confirms memo, citing Trump: "I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go.”

Word is that Israel is not exactly happy with this reveal. I wonder if a piece of McMaster's soul dies every time he has tried to justify and minimize this the last two days.

POTUS Donald Trump
I don't think Trump is all that big about exercising his brain either (although he does like to run off his mouth). It is nice he likes to share with his friends. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/trump-revealed-highly-classified-information-to-russian-foreign-minister-and-ambassador/2017/05/15/530c172a-3960-11e7-9e48-c4f199710b69_story.html?utm_term=.751613a1b838

Trump fires Comey
Wow - he is having a twitter rant that is amazing even for him. He is out of control and from the interviews it is amazing how unqualified he is for the job. I still don't think that is covered as much as it should be by the media- how little he prepares and studies the issues he is dealing with. The Comey tweet is a little chilling. Donald J. TrumpVerified account @realDonaldTrump 6m6 minutes ago James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press! Donald J. TrumpVerified account @realDonaldTrump 24m24 minutes ago ...Maybe the best thing to do would be to cancel all future "press briefings" and hand out written responses for the sake of accuracy??? Donald J. TrumpVerified account @realDonaldTrump 33m33 minutes ago As a very active President with lots of things happening, it is not possible for my surrogates to stand at podium with perfect accuracy!.... Donald J. TrumpVerified account @realDonaldTrump 38m38 minutes ago The Fake Media is working overtime today! Donald J. TrumpVerified account @realDonaldTrump 40m40 minutes ago Again, the story that there was collusion between the Russians & Trump campaign was fabricated by Dems as an excuse for losing the election.

I suppose Cheers and Fraiser references are a little dated -- although that is usually not a problem with these threads.

I think it was his invite to the next Twins Daily pub crawl. He wants to make sure he doesn't lose it.

Sadly I think my 1000th post was in the 2016 season. It seems like such a waste of an important milestone.

[start of Mauer homerism] I know Mauer is not playing like people would like and he had a horrible April and has deserved a lot of the criticism he has received, but it does seem like he is starting to get a little offensive life the last few weeks. Still not where people would like him to be, but his bat seems a bit more productive and not as much of a black hole. [end of Mauer homerism] I suppose I could look up some stats, but that seems too much like math for a game thread.

Trump fires Comey
I suspect they do tell him - but he tends to think he knows best. I am guessing he ignores a lot of advice. I also think his attention span is pretty much shot and combined with his impulsiveness, he gets caught up in the moment and forgets much of what was told to him earlier. He has so many questionable business dealings and financial arrangements, they might eventually be able to bring him down even without establishing the Russian connection.

Trump fires Comey
Comey found out he was fired by seeing it on the news as he was out giving a talk about the FBI in Los Angeles. Trump called him after that. He is the epitome of class..

Technically rectangular - but this is what I think of with square pizza - except my school cut dish-washing and went to Styrofoam trays and plastic sporks (which were not that useful). The pizza was usually shiny from the extra grease (which I am sure added extra flavor). Sometimes we had taco pizza which was octagonal in shape for some reason. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UtMBepj-m1U/TvEjvN6h2mI/AAAAAAAAB94/R-8dZXf-f4Y/s1600/square_cafeteria_pizza.jpg
