I think there's a decent possibility that Martinez is out after this season.

The Phillies got Justin Bour.  I've always liked that guy.  Yankees certainly looked at him at one point during Bird's injury issues.

YAWN....

Indeed.

When someone describes the deletion of hate speech from social media as censorship of “alt Media” they are not correctly identifying the party that is behaving in a problematic way.

And zero surprise that kidcarter8 buys into it.
I yawned without reading one of Kid's twitter links.  You're a better person than me for doing so.

Why do I think you only read the headline, then posted an article detailing how Republicans are becoming the party of Nazism as a scoreboard own of the libs?

Because that is probably what happened.
There's a good possibility that makes Kid happy.

 A practice game in the first week of August with the vast majority of the playing time given to guys who won't play a down this regular season is some sort of predictor? Wow. Tough crowd.

Historical research will show my statement to be neither cynical
nor inaccurate. But no need to pursue the matter further.

It kills me that Kid and Bambu focus on the issue of crossing the border "illegally" as a sin that renders all meaningful discussion on the matter impossible. I suggest both of our leading bigots look up the difference between crimes that are mala prohibita and those that are mala in se.

My initial statement was that American's idea of embracing immigrants has long been more of an idea than a practice. That's it.

here's the story i read last week when it was being speculated that we would sign him...

https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2016/09/12/local-college-football-player-suspended-for-5-years-for-punching-referee/

From Helton:

"He's a young man from Mt. SAC that we learned about in spring recruiting. We knew his history with an in-game incident that he had to pay penance for. We vetted for three months this individual, talking with administrators at Mt. SAC, coaches, counselors and also had a chance to sit down with his family over the summer," said Helton. "What we learned from the administrators, coaches and counselors is that we were dealing with a tremendous young man, a young man that is a tremendous student, great person and a guy that we had no question would be a great member of our Trojan family.....we listed the expectations that we expect for Bernard and we understand that he knows those expectations and he will do a great job here as a Trojan. We are very excited."
Wouldn't it have been easier if he just said "we think he can help us win some games"?

Support of that "idea" has never been that widespread except for small durations of time. And anti-immigrant Americans have historically been on both ends of the so-called political spectrum. It's possible to call Kid a racist fool and acknowledge this fact at the same time.

---Iran crowds reportedly chant 'death to the dictator!' as US sanctions increase economic unrest---


http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/08/07/iran-crowds-reportedly-chant-death-to-dictator-as-us-sanctions-increase-economic-unrest.html

Now this is truly wonderful news. Like Reagan saying tear down that wall. Stop exporting terrorism and keeping your people locked up in a medieval shithole, Mr. Ayatollah.
Do you realize, Luee, that if the Iranian government were to somehow fall your chum, the always wonderful Assad, is finished too?

Too late for ISIS, so sad for the youths of Islam who left their homes to build a new caliphate, rape females of all species, and kill infidels in novel and horrible ways as written in the book?
