Well, I tried #3 but you have to have a user name that’s longer than 2 characters. And you do know that was Killebrew’s number, my all-time favorite Twin. So there is significance in that.

Glad to see someone else is taking jinx statements seriously. Hope that dude really felt it, too. WTH is ‘Nine of Twelve’ anyway ... wouldn’t it just have been easier to call himself Three-Quarters? Or is 9 of 12 a Star Trekkie thing?

Two-legged people ... that’s good.

Lots of jinx statements in this thread. Isn’t there a rule on that?

I thought that was tomorrow’s dinner?

Ah, but alas ... no big family gathering tomorrow for me ... I’ll be making myself a juicy lamb burger instead.

I always thought so. Really not a fan of ham. Except for Chief. He’s a good ham.

We always had lamb on Easter ... something about it feels so much more religious than ham.

Lotta home runs today.

I think history has shown that I, in fact, was not in a coma and was actually more astute than you, considering the resulting decline of our country, largely due to Reaganomics of the 80’s.

Then along came Reaganomics of the 80s and we’ve been in decline ever since.

Me, too. And here I was excited I’d be able to get in the whole game before work. Guess I called that wrong.

Woohoo Odo!

I'm also excited for the game today because I might actually get to watch it all. Since my new shift at work starts at 5pm every day, games that start at 3 ... well ... when I have to leave for work no later than 4:30, couldn't see it all. Today, I'll get to see it all ... unless it goes into extra innings ... like the 2nd game we played against Cleveland last year.

So, in theory, I could start a game thread for the last game of the season today, and all I have to do is keep bumping it up and it's good to go? It might be interesting to do that because I'm excited about the season today; it might be fun to see if I'm still that excited on the last day. Cool!

Game 2. Here we are! Still excited because it's baseball season ... I'm sure that will change somewhere in the middle as the season goes on. For today, I hope Odorizzi progressed from where he ended the season last year, and I hope Bauer did not. CLEVELAND 1. Leonys Martin (L) CF 2. Jose Ramirez (S) 3B 3. Tyler Naquin (L) RF 4.

The way I look at it is, there is a subset of those wearing MAGA hats who are purveyors of hate, who have miscontrued the message to mean something far more heinous. Not everyone who wears a MAGA hat is a purveyor of hate, and shouldn't automatically be suspect, ever. However, when someone who is wearing one is standing outside my polling place, chiding me as I enter ... it's going to make me wary from which subset they come. What I want from Trump ... and should be automatic from any president ... is a denouncement of that hate and heinous activities. I want him to say, 'If you are going to wear my hats, do not behave that way because that is not what my hats stand for.' He has yet to do so. Furthermore, he has normalized and equalized those who partake in such crimes against humanity. While I am a fairly tolerant person, some things should never, ever be tolerated. And since you threw Rahm Emanuel's name in there as some sort of comparison to Trump ... he is no saint either and has quite a lot himself to answer for.

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTT REEEEEEEEEEADY!!!!

The EC is outdated. Period. It's institution was to protect white, slave owners, and give them a larger voice in the presidency.

Heh, well ... I'd say most of this tweets, thus his habit, fall into the 'Liar, liar, pants on fire' category. He tweets to paint himself in the best light possible, or those who oppose him in the worst light possible, or those who have fact and truth on their said as fabricators ... regardless of truth or reality. That's his style. If he were to suddently become a coherent tweeter, I'd still be skeptical given his track record up to this point. Why anyone even follows his tweets is beyond me. I don't, but I see posts and hear comments all over the place regarding his tweets.

Didn't Hillary get the most votes any Democrat has every gotten in the last presidential election, and won the popular vote by 3 million? It wasn't about getting the vote out ... it was getting it out in the 'right' locations.
