seaver was tops from 67-76 thru 70-79, so four such decades, and was top five in four others for eight total. jack morris placed 2nd in 79-88, and was also 3rd in 80-89, 4th in 82-91, and 5th in both 78-87 and 83-92. bert blyleven, on the other hand, was 1st three times from 71-80 thru 73-82, and wa...

it would be cool to own a place and then air bnb the shit out of it during the season.

here's a fun question... if a player was the best pitcher in the league over a 10-year period, meaning, topping the cumulative WAR leaderboard for a period of 10 consecutive seasons, would you think that player sufficiently good to be considered a hall of famer? ten years is a long time. and to be t...

i voted for ichiro, cc, and felix. ichiro is a slam dunk. cc is a little harder, and felix is a stretch, or maybe not. but hear me out. felix had a great start to his career, and then was felled by injuries and overuse. fangraphs says he topped out at 54 WAR. that's damned good. he hit 50 WAR by 28....

between this MFer and the muskaswanny DOGE, i'm very seriously worried that they might move to outsource all DOD civilian functions to defense contractors.

that would be perhaps the dumbest possible move, by the way. which means it's very highly likely. i fucking hope not.

Well, sadly millions of people could and likely will lose their health insurance by the end of 2025 as subsidies built into the American rescue plan will probably not be extended, vote against yourself What's weird is that many of the people who voted for Trump seem to be more likely to be negative...

i think that (one of) the biggest colossal failure of the democrats may just be that in being so seemingly focused on how to improve the situations of all the others out there, they forgot to drive home the message of how, in helping "others" we help ourselves too. that dignity and respect...

Quite happy with my second shot today. Gotta start listening to my caddy more.

yes, so much.

i don't know how to do better in teh culture wars. the only thing i can think of is that, on the one hand, the messaging needs to be much more clear that it is not in fact a zero sum game. the other part of it needs to be, perhaps, to lean into the empathy of it all, perhaps harder. to humanize inst...

i think its also true that democratic voters have trouble, big trouble, voting for imperfect candidates and imperfect ideas. republican voters have no problem holding their noses as long as they can vote for what they (are told that) they want. but no... i also do think that a HUGE part of the blame...

i think they fumbled so badly on immigration that they couldn't overcome inflation. they also failed to make the case that the seeds of inflation were set in 2020, when we ran out of fucking toilet paper under trump's watch. plus, well, apparently, we just don't care about "other" people.

Misplayed this hole right into a birdie.
