Given the lengths the league went to trying to make sure Vegas could field an immediately competitive team, how pissed is Bettman right now?

Given that 3B is such a premium position, if Freeman is able to make this move successfully it makes you question why Atlanta didn’t do it a long time ago. When was the last time they had a competent player at 3B? How many ABs have they wasted on Adonis Garcia in recent years? Meanwhile, MLB is awash in competent…

It’s some kind of mania, an all-consuming compulsion to have more than everyone else. They’re never happy, never satisfied. Like the Dementors in Harry Potter, their hunger is never sated.

I tried but I am done with that guy. Check this out:

I know what you mean about watching the video. I feel like I have an obligation to view it, like a prior generation marched past Emmett Till’s casket. But I’m worried about what watching it will do to me.

Wait, so by your logic, every person who self-identifies as black is a racist? Do I have that right?

I believe we’re going to get a wave of new Democratic representatives in 2018, and I hope that this fresh blood will reinvigorate the party and take it in inspiring directions. Until then, I choose to revel in small victories wherever they may be. My only other choice is despair.

Just gotta keep an eye out for Mr. Tumnus, he’s a known peeping tom.

We really are counting on Robert Mueller to bring justice back to America. I hope he’s up to the challenge, it’s a big one.

If we had made “Evil Betsy DeVos actions” bingo cards back when she was appointed, they would be just about filled up already.

What kind of action did you want to see? Did you want them to show up and then dramatically turn their backs on him? Did you want them to all have Taco Bell for breakfast and then fill his office with farts? I’m unclear about what your complaint is here.

Trying to be respectful here, but this sounds like your personal philosophizing rather than anything based upon widespread consensus or an authoritative source. As such, it seems unlikely to elicit widespread approval. If you want to point me toward a mainstream source that supports your position, I’m open to being…

What was your next question? I, for one, would like to know where to find this broom closet.

Just a matter of time until we see Tebow pitching for the Mets in a blowout.

There are topics where I have insufficient education, like the conflicts that sometimes arise between gay people and trans people. I don’t have enough knowledge on the subject to weigh in intelligently, so I don’t. I read and absorb and ponder, and someday maybe I’ll have something to contribute, or maybe I’ll never…

There’s a certain strain of avarice where it’s never enough. If it got to the point where Trump and DeVos and Kushner and the Koch brothers between them possessed all the wealth in the world, and the rest of us were their unpaid servants, they would turn on each other in a heartbeat. They are driven to possess everythi…

You could get a payday loan, blow every penny at the dog track the same day, declare bankruptcy and all is forgiven. Try to make yourself and thus the world a better place, though, and that stain will follow you permanently.

Yeah, I happen to be mediocre and I resent the comparison!

I’ve heard some scientists describe race as a social construct, and I’m sure that in some academic venues it’s useful to see it that way, but as long as 99.999% of humanity continues to see race as a real thing, it’s a real thing. Beyond that, I don’t really understand what you’re getting at.

I don’t what that is all about. I’ve seen him make good posts before, but that’s 100% crazypants. I’ll be more skeptical going forward.
