I just found out the Tigers have fired GM Al Avila. Don't know who succeeded him, but I wish they'd go get Theo Epstein.

Epstein? So he didn't commit suicide after all?
Fuck that guy.
I think sex trafficking teenagers is not something we should reward with cushy front office jobs, even in lousy baseball organizations.

Avila was criticized for his lack of creativity. Epstein made a suicide look like a murder which took a lot of balls and showed the kind of creativity Avila can only dream of. The only thing worse than hiring a rotting corpse is hiring someone internal. Weren’t they a party to the problem? I can easily see Illitch going this route.

A few days ago the FBI raided the home of some guy linked to Epstein that had donated heavily to both Clinton presidential campaigns and the Clinton Foundation. Pretty crazy.

Using the FBI and AG offices around the country to go after the MAGA movement is fucking crazy - and Dems celebrating this nonsense are going to be howling in 2024.
I'm really tired of how stupid people are.

....further muddying the waters referring to a woman as king. As the great philosopher Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson said in recent senate hearings, she can't define 'woman.' Perhaps this movie will clarify. I cannot fully grasp the collective intellect of the left. Maybe cause they are bats**t crazy?

Rumor has it Chris called Kenny to see if he was available for the Tigers job. Kenny said he wasn’t done with the Oilers yet as they are still making the playoffs. (Too far?)
