Been skeptical of the Soto deal from day 1 and the hurt still there but getting Abrams in return and Wood may be worth it

That trade: Juan Soto and Josh Bell to the Padres.  Nats get: CJ Abrams, MacKenzie Gore, Robert Hassell, James Wood, Jarlin Susanna, and Luke Voit. 

Seeing Juan go hurt a bunch.  But the Nats did get a haul in return.

A couple tidbits related to that trade from my spring training trip to West Palm in March. 

- We watched Jarlin Susanna pitch in the Futures game at the Mets' Clover Park in Port St. Lucie.  He is a big boy.  Six six, 235. His fastball was consistently above 100 mph, according to the scoreboard radar.  One pitch clocked at 103 mph.  He just turned 20 in March. 

- We saw Josh Bell at an Italian restaurant we were at off Clematis (Elisabetta's not Lynora's.) My friend spoke to him briefly and said we missed him in DC.  He said the plan is to get back to DC.  For what it's worth.

This gave me a chuckle:

Why does it look like he has a mouse under his left eye?

I'm guessing that's where Melania punched him.

That's for the other Trump thread about his criminal trial. I know it's confusing because this man is in court everyday,

you’re right thanks. Posted there.

Trump is whining that the judge won’t let him attend Barron’s graduation. 
 

Guess how many of the graduations of his four other children he attended?

If you guessed anything other than zero, you underestimate what a hypocritical prick Donald Trump is.

Pfft he can't stop the me from reaching that Rear Admiral ranks. 🤪

Not surprised the rear is where you want to reach.

In case anyone has any doubt about his guilt…

And most people probably wouldn't even notice that in this picture the motor is facing the wrong direction. 

If the steering column were supposed to face this way you'd have to stand in the lake to steer your boat.

You underestimate Wiley B. Coyote's handyman skills. With a few nuts and bolts from ACME, he could easily alter the motor to reverse the handle.

The way Ohtani's story changed after it first broke was suspicious and leads me to believe we are not hearing the full scope of what went on.

OJ, Aaron Hernandez, Junior Seau and Mike Webster are the Mount Rushmore of CTE.  I really hope they get to scan his brain.

90% of the 300 or so brains studied of former NFL players had CTE.  Yes, it was biased towards people with symptoms.  But only 1 out of 152 brains scanned from everyday life had CTE. 

 

Shhhhh.... "big football" wants us to ignore this.  

The only issue with including OJ in this group is he had a history of violence long before he was in the NFL.  Growing up in a tough section of San Francisco and was in a street gang as a teen and - as he himself said - he was violent back then, getting into a lot of fights. 

So CTE wasn't the reason for slaughtering two innocent people.

If you want to blame Garland, may as well blame Biden. And also the way our judicial branch is set up. 

 

Lots of blame to go around but if you wanted a more proactive AG, y

Garland could have appointed a special counsel sooner.  They are independent, and so could have avoided having his hands on or off decisions from the beginning.  He did nothing.

 

And sure, Biden gets some of the blame for picking a crappy AG.

The irony is that Merrick Garland has a temperament better suited for a Supreme Court justice than an A.G.

Reading his obit in the Washington Post, I didn't remember that Nicole Simpson had called the police multiple times in the years before the murders because of Simpson's violent assaults on her.

Simpson met her when she was an 18-year-old waitress right out of high school and moved in with her the next year while still married to his first wife.

Where's the choice of a brand-new Miata to show off to my TikTok and Facebook followers?

Cancer didn't kill him.  They're looking for the real killer.

^^^ Well that sucks for you tshile.  Our situation wasn't disruptive in any way that I could tell.  I surmised they picked the spot precisely because it wouldn't cause any issues.  Clearly not the case for your situation.
