Social media is a very dangerous thing with which to play, especially in baseball!

Atlanta remains winless. Curse of the Georgia voting laws?

Guess that depends on how you define "good people", Ari.
ASG goes to Colorado. Should make for a fun HR derby.

But for you who want to know if Colorado's voting rights are better than Georgia's? Here is some information that I found:

Guess deGromm lacks heart. 77 pitches and he doesn't mind being yanked?
You know, wins matter. Especially in a division in which 1-2 games might decide it.
Phils make him and Mets pay with the CFBW.

Too many beanballs to the head?
even though experts universally are encouraging the shots as the world tries to end the once-in-a-century pandemic, Mets players publicly have been hesitant to embrace the COVID-19 vaccines for themselves.
“It’s a personal choice,” Michael Conforto said Sunday, “and everybody has their own opinions on whether or not they’re going to get vaccinated.”
The Mets have been consistent in their messaging. James McCann also framed it as a “personal choice,” similar to J.D. Davis’ “personal preference.”

So, you personally choose to keep the pandemic alive.
Another failure in Mets Land.

The Revenue act of 1921 became law November 23, 1921. It repeals
the federal excess-profits tax, the transportation taxes, some luxury
and other taxes, reduces slightly the maximum surtaxes upon individ-
ual incomes and increases somewhat the personal exemptions of heads
of families and dependents, permits net losses of one year to be offset
against net income of following years, and provides for the final
settlement of tax cases besides making some other changes in the
previous statute. The new act is the result of a rather long and
spirited contest between those who desired to reduce the rates of the
Revenue act of 1918 upon large incomes, profits and wealth and those
who opposed such reductions or who, at least, opposed the shifting of
greater burdens upon the masses through sales and other taxes.
The GOP always at work for the wealthy.

« on: April 05, 2021, 05:02:22 PM »Banks, it sounds like you are saying America had a chance to become a better place in the mid sixties but pissed it all away with the war in Vietnam.
It’s a good reason to support Rev. Senator Warnock and his efforts to get us further up the mountain especially where republican monstrosities have a strong grip and are choking the life out of the people.
Sounds like you were born in the 80's.

« on: April 05, 2021, 04:55:00 PM »MLB said they talked to former and current players.
You challenged, "did they talk to both sides?" as if to suggest that they did not, but in your usual mealy-mouthed way to avoid owning your own words.
I know they talked to Players Alliance guys - that would be former and current players
Did MLB talk to all 30 teams in a conference call - get that input?
Even talk at length to Braves front office/ownership?
They talked to former and current players as well as the Players Alliance, according to their release.
But whatever.
BTW, the Alliance is a non-partisan organization.

Republican talking points? Or counters to the Dems malarchy?
Ask Biden if voters waiting on line can be given water.
What, Joe? I didnt hear you.
Fucktards.
So...no FACTS.
Geez, kid.
You used to care.
Now? Notsomuch.
