To add to this, even to this day, when we suspend someone, it is typically because of a slur or hate speech related to a political situation. It is very rare that it traces back to something baseball oriented. I can't begin to tell people how much easier to manage that Soxtalk became after Buster was put out to pasture. WAY less people are being suspended and banned, and the overall tone is better.

Nicky made a couple of really dumb players in a very short period of time right after he got on the field. One of them included running through a stop sign. I swear to me he looked like a guy who was trying way too hard to make an impact. After that I really can't recall any mental breakdowns on the basepaths. He had some other issues, but looking back on the complete lack of power and some fielding issues, I wonder how much a bad shoulder needing pending surgery played into a couple of those things. He is one of the ones I will be interested in seeing what he looks like at full strength this year.

It really was like radiation poisoning. The more people got exposed to it, the more poisoned they got. You might not have realized it, but we lost a lot of posters because of that page. At the end of the day this was supposed to be a baseball page, and we gave users more freedom to bring more personality to the page. But at some point it became a detriment to the overall value of the page, so we adjusted. In the most poisoned political atmosphere in a long time, I can't see it being any better. I don't know if all of us fully agree, but the general opinion of the people who have the fight the fires here is that it isn't worth the mess that it causes.

And I would bet that campaign debts are something primarily owed to his own companies, just like they have been in the past.

Probably because they want to make sure he can pay off his loans to the bank of China.

You just lectured everyone on not supporting the exact policies and actions you just voted for. I don't know why you think you get to do whatever you want, but expect more of anyone else, but this is exactly why no one treats you with respect. You don't treat anyone else with respect. You want unity, act like it. Quit supporting hateful and divisive politicians. Until then I don't want to hear any demands from you on what the world owes you. You reap what you sow.

Actions speak louder than words. You will never have a unified country with Trump as President because his entire platform is pitting Americans against Americans. You don't get to talk about unity and acceptance after voting for the opposite. You can ask for forgiveness, but you don’t get to lecture people to put up standards that you, yourself are not living by. You supported disunity and division.

Again if you cared about the other half of the country, you wouldn't be voting for Trump.

Come on. The guy was a slam dunk top 5 pick. If the Sox didn't pick him, he would have still been a top pick. If he had been 6 feet tall, he would have gone 1-1. He is not a publicity stunt.

Story is that even Melania is telling Trump to give it up.

3rd and 4th OVERALL, not round.

Its funny, if you substitute "Biden" for "Trump" the speech is still the same in general meaning, yet we all know it would never happen in a meaningful way. The speech would have been about his tremendous victory, all of the people who wronged him, and all of the things he was going to do. There would have been zero reconciliation. He has never even tried to get along with the rest of the country, in fact he actively paints those who opposite his political views as enemies who should be physically attacked. If you REALLY believed anything you posted after the first sentence, you wouldn't have been voting for Donald Trump in the first place as he is literally incapable of everything else in your post.

I figured there would be an early and quick fury as a few teams try to get their top targets via their limited budgets. Then poof. The market disappears until at least Valentine's Day.

Yet, here you are.

Actually Realistic Vaughn Trade Ideas?

Unless he headlines a front line starter deal, I can't see it. -
Knowing the history of Nancy rescuing this, there isn't a better person to play this.

I watched the Biden speech. its funny, because for obvious reasons he isn't much of a speaker. He kind of reminds me of W in that, where he isn't going to command a room, but its authentic. He really believes what he has to say. To hear a positive and not self-praising message was incredible. It was so refreshing to hear it be us and we and our, and things we want to achieve instead of who is being targeted and torn down. It wasn't about I and me, and who our enemies are. I am ready for this change.

They will pull the copper wiring out.

That was probably part of the negotiations, but I would be absolutely shocked if it was anyone but DJ and Mazur.
