I don't believe my description was inaccurate. I described their mission precisely. Again, it seems like it should be a permanent team. Which was the question I asked. You read my post and didn't believe that team could be true. So you were as surprised as I was that a team like that wasn't already in place. I'll summarize if the information I'm using is behind a paywall. If something is widely reported as this was, I don't bother with a link. I heard or read it from at least five different news sources. Albeit two seemed to be just repeating the NYT story.

No need to provide a link. I know how to use Google.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2022/03/23/us/politics/biden-russia-nuclear-weapons.amp.html BRUSSELS — The White House has quietly assembled a team of national security officials to sketch out scenarios of how the United States and its allies should respond if President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia — frustrated by his lack of progress in Ukraine or determined to warn Western nations against intervening in the war — unleashes his stockpiles of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. I'm not going to supply proof of my son's assignment. I guess you'll just have to take my word for it. He graduated from Ft. Leonard Wood in Missouri, the only base CBRN trains at. You can fact check that.

Fortunately for the organization about a million Sox fans don't post here. They are happy, excited, and eagerly looking forward to the season starting. I truly envy them.

Damn I'm lucky to work at such a cool high school. Our orchestra won a prestigious contest in NYC (a first for a San Antonio school), our visual artists took about 3/4ths of the regional awards and are moving on to state, our girls bowling team won the regional tournament, and our volleyball team is getting their state championship rings next week. I'm surrounded by amazing kids and teachers.

I know. I was not among them. I applauded the trade.

Guaranteed. A lifetime of being a Sox fan has conditioned me to expect it. I still don't disagree with the move at the deadline. I expected us to lockdown any lead after the 6th. Solid trade for an often injured player. I don't think anyone could have expected this level of suck. It's Billy Botch-esque in it's nature.

For the old-timers - bigger mistake Billy Koch or Kimbrel?

He's going to be so far down the bench by the trade deadline the Sox will be using the phrase "well rested" in all trade offers.

Biden put together a team to plan strategy if Russia uses chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons. Two thoughts One: Why isn't that a permanent team? Two: My stepson recently finished CBRN training and is in South Korea.

or perhaps this may be too much I believe by May there won't be any room on the Kimbrel sucks bandwagon to hell.

Works for me.

He's going to be our 4th inning, we're getting blown out, try to stay in for two or three innings, guy.

Rangers are scoring so fast my phone can't update fast enough.

Actually ask him how much for four years and write up the deal.

Basically any pitcher who sucks in the 8th could be an All Star closer, he just needs more pressure.

7.3 versus 7.5 just give it to him. On fact he's made way more than that for the organization tell him 8 and keep the change.

As long as teams are making huge profits they should just say yes to every player's offer.

The war crimes accusations make me nervous. It seems like a case is being made for NATO to get involved directly. Ukraine isn't large enough to contain a Russia versus NATO battle. It will spill across borders.

Thank you for the research.

When TLR retires again they will name Katz as the interim manager making him the first manager in baseball history without MLB playing experience.

I believe they are two possibly three injuries away from being non contenders. But they are deep in the pen.

Sox are never in the playoff race and TLR announces his retirement in August. They are sellers at the deadline.
