Thai version, although arguably not up to Western standards of what we define a Navy SEAL as exactly...

Fireworks show, surely...

Conspiracy theory...they don’t really want to trade Abreu, so they exacerbate his injuries?

If someone blames the rebuild not working (at some future date) on Renteria and not Hahn...I think some of us might need to change favorite teams until JR’s family is gone from the ownership ranks.

Why either no pinch runner or hold Abreu with his bad foot? Idiotic. Not just Renteria thinking on that one, the entire staff is infected. Just like nobody stopping Engel from making ill-advised throws that always allow trail runners to advance.

Many countries did send experts...but only after the Thais panicked when they couldn’t solve it themselves. UK, Americans, Chinese, Australians, etc. It’s rainy season and the caves could be flooded for months...Water is murky/turgid and visibility near zero. You’ve got kids you have to train how to dive (some can’t even swim) in terrible conditions. That’s very dangerous for the kids if they freak out when diving out with two pros, it could also endanger the lives of the trained guys as well. Complicated rescue situation with no easy answers if it continues to rain as expected.

Not a great week for GOP with this Ohio situation and Pruitt wiping public records to distance himself from a figure in the Catholic Church he associated with numerous times...recently himself brought down by abuse/rape charges.

You could also look at the states (and caucuses) Obama won vs. Clinton in 2008. Like Iowa. She was clearly the centrist to his more progressive/community activist/anti-war (Iraq War vote she never lived down) vibe.

Depressing day in rebuild...between Jimenez, Robert injury news and Moncada’s struggles.

Up to you...but I think you’re seriously overestimating anyone’s ability to influence opinions on this board.

Great, Covey sucks again. It's all due to the hip!

elrockin, look at gallardo's era...

Well, we don’t know for sure...but something very strange was going on with umpires seemingly targeting Moncada. It was over the top, but we haven’t heard of the cause.

Anytime we start throwing out names like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Franco, Mussolini...the assumption is that it simply HAS to be an exaggeration.

Dana Boesch? Or Ollie North?

Basically, the Electoral College, gerrymandering/restricted voting rights and now the SC are the three pivotal forces keeping “1950’s Leave It To Beaver” version of America from being completely overrun/overwhelmed.

And corporations are forevermore going to take priority over the American people, thanks to the SC, well, let’s just say for the next 25-30 years at least.

If not for blocking Merrick Garland in an unprecedented way...the SCOTUS deciding the 2000 election for GW Bush and then Trump losing by 2.8 million and those 77,000 votes in three Midwest states, we could have some balance. Heck, Comey not inserting himself into the election on either side arguably gives it to HRC, and Dems at least have a 5-4 SCOTUS, if not 6-3 (Kennedy might have tried to hang on until 2020, when HRC would have lost due to a recession.) Now, with a 6-3 SC advantage, both houses of Congress, the majority of state houses and governorships...and especially Trump himself, the pendulum has to shift back.

Unauthorized immigrants are more likely than U.S.-born workers to be employed in industries that offer low-skilled jobs, due in part to their relatively low education levels and to limits of their status. Of all unauthorized immigrant workers, 22% are in professional, business and other services, which encompasses a wide range of businesses from legal services and advertising, to employment services, landscaping and waste management, to personal services such as dry cleaning, nail salons, car washes and religious organizations.3 Some 18% are in the leisure and hospitality sector, and 16% are in the construction industry. More than half (55%) of unauthorized immigrant workers are employed in these three sectors, compared with only 31% of U.S.-born workers. Although only 5% of unauthorized immigrant workers are employed in agriculture, that is more than double the share of U.S.-born workers (2%) who are. The 13% of unauthorized immigrant workers employed in the manufacturing industry compares with 10% of U.S.-born workers employed there. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/03/27/where-americas-undocumented-immigrants-work/?noredirect=on

Basically the entire GOP electoral strategy has been to tie every Dem to Pelosi, Schumer and now Waters. I get the tax cut windfall, cutting regulations...but the “old” GOP at least cared somewhat about the environment (conservative/conserve/conservation.) Strong defense...but also a faithful member of NATO and supporter of a neoliberal global world order since WW2 (Mattis/Powell.) The tariffs so far have been a complete debacle. 90% of the Caucus disagrees with them. What happened to free trade? The social issues/identity politics have always been there. Where I disagree strongly is on health care and policies that exacerbate income inequality for the poor and lower middle class...like all the proposed Ryan cuts to social programs, education, Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security will have to be cut at least 15% beginning in 2025, etc.

Had no idea how badly that foul pop was misplayed...that will reside in their nightmares like Bartman to Alou.

Haha...who is “persecuted” more than Greg in Filibuster? I’ll give everyone one guess. It’s part of the game to see if we can rally anyone/everyone to our cause...to consolidate our base, especially when we’re (seemingly) outnumbered 10 to 1. Of course, the truth is that a lot of people who voted for Trump don’t want to admit it publicly or defend him here, but there’s definitely a missing 3-5 Trump supporters (or at least sympathizers) for every 5-6 “liberal” voices at SoxTalk.

Does it work when Ben Shapiro and Rabbit are attacked?

Blame the Red Sox! Otherwise, we’d have Devers and Madrigal lined up in their correct positions. That RH hitting line has been an issue every year since the Sally League.
