Good work. I would guess that Seaver also was tops for '68-'77 and '69-'78.

The latest take (we'll be getting plenty of these) is that the madman's margin of victory was narrow -- one of the narrowest ever by vote count (objectively provable) and that the election was swung by the least informed voters out there -- voters who are easily susceptible to the sound bite torrent...

I read somewhere that Steve Cohen will not be outbid for Soto.... that he will offer $50M more than the next highest bidder for Soto. If this is accurate and it's mainly about money, that would make the Mets the favorites to land Soto, I would think.

4) don't be a felon How do you know that disenfranchising felons isn't a pretext for racial discrimination? Or a pretext to specifically target likely Democratic voters? We don't deny felons the right to own property or to drink liquor. There's a lot of truth in your post. But don't minimize or con...

Yesterday, the US Senate confirmed Embry Kidd to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Kidd is only the second black man confirmed to the US Appeals Court in the last decade. Kidd's confirmation was possible only because six GOP Senators did not bother to show up for the vote. Independent and former De...

The sentencing of the felonious president is delayed indefinitely, and seemingly infinitely. The 34 convictions may well be tossed as well, as I suspect the prosecutors and judge are living in terror of payback. Gutless. They should have the courage to do their job. But I guess who can have faith t...

Wright's secret stash of homers is right there with Wagner's secret stash of saves that will suddenly get him in after 10 years on the ballot. Baseball writers seem to let candidacies develop over time, which is why a player has 10 years on the ballot and not just one. But you know that. We underst...

Would love to see Beltran make a big jump. They'll probably make him wait another year or two, which is silly. Would love to see Wright stay on the ballot to they can keep looking at his career. I guess your rule is that if you were a Met, you could engineer one of the most disgraceful cheating sca...

I saw him pitch in that third game against the White Sox and I think he struck out the first seven Mets he faced. His point about the postseason was that he already far beyond his innings pitched, and he didn’t want to get traded to a team that would abuse him for two-and-half months and not be inv...

I predict some kind of intervention if not an outright coup at some point if this stuff isn't stopped.

Later

If he follows through on his most dangerous and cruelest impulses, I'm expecting the most drastic kind of "intervention ". Use your imagination.

Reports also state that the the president is planning to bypass FBI background checks for at least some of the cabinet members. According to CNN, "Trump and his allies believe the FBI system is slow and plagued with issues that could stymie the president-elect’s plan to quickly begin the work ...

Well, there is some reporting that says that there are possible plans for Vice President-elect Vance and Senator Thune to convene the new Senate and immediately adjourn it so the president can push through some or all of his cabinet as recess appointments. Uncharted waters. You'd think that this is...

In one of his last interviews before his death, Fred Astaire revealed that Led Zeppelin was one of his favorite bands and that he loved to dance to their music.

After this,we can have a poll to determine which of these recent GM's was the best base-runner. Tournament! It's a tournament! I can't wait.

He gets to trumpet himself as the guy who made foreigners pay for the federal government.... How would that happen? How does that work? Foreigners don't pay American tariffs. Americans do. Or is your point that if the public is so fucking gullible as to believe that Haitian migrants are eating cats...

Apparently he's already resigned from his House seat. It would be really sweet if he didn't get confirmed for the new gig. Here's why Gaetz was so quick to resign his seat. https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/13/politics/house-ethics-committee-report-gaetz-investigation/index.html Excerpt: The House Ethics...

.....and the GOP retains control of the House, thus pulling off the political trifecta this election. 218-208 in favor of the GOP with nine races still too close to call. So far, the GOP has flipped seven seats, while the Dems have flipped six seats, resulting in a net gain of one seat for the GOP, ...

We can hope that the dems regroup under new leadership and in two years hopefully take back both houses , what damage will be done by then who knows My guess is that the Dems will win back the House in two years if it doesn't reclaim the House this election. The party out of power usually does very...

This is no April Fool's Joke. The madman's pick for Attorney General is ......


this guy



Matt Gaetz.

it's all relative. 4/115 isn't quite Aaron Judge money but it's one heckuva score for a 30 year old man.

Nope. Essex County, NY has voted for the winner of every Presidential election, going back to 2000.

Nassau went for Biden in 2016. Looks like I completely misread the question too. I'll take some of that blame. I wrote the question kinda' clunky. Here's a cleaner and leaner version: Two American counties voted for the winner in every single Presidential election since 2000. One of those two count...

It's Nassau, naturally.

Hockey arena hate rallies work.

The icing on this shitcake will be if the GOP flips the Arizona US Senate seat and super-scumbag Kari Lake wins there. Don't worry. She wouldn't stay in the Senate long. He'll name her to the Cabinet - Secretary of Animal Rescue? I think you have Lake mixed up with SD Governor, Kristi Noem.... You'...
