Chase with HR #4 in the 10th inning to give the Guardians a 7-4 lead.

Myles is untradable because he has a no trade clause. The only teams that would be able to make a trade worth him are all teams Myles would never agree to go to. Completely untradable.

*snickers* Yeah, but if Nestle happens to locate the stash, it may not be the Skor they think it is. They'll nix the Twix and resume their regularly scheduled PayDay.

This is what a cabinet meeting looks like with Trump as president....................



He went on for 4 minutes and 56 seconds on Sharpies.

And BTW, those Cross pens he claimed cost $1000? While often described as premium, these pens are not the pens sometimes claimed; rather, they are typically the Cross Century II or Townsend models, with distributors often providing them for under $50 to $100.

But you know how Trump's new math works.

Israel scales back use of top missile interceptors as Iran barrages persist - report
Stockpile concerns push the defense establishment to rely on less advanced systems, with mixed results.

Israel has begun limiting its use of its most advanced missile interceptors as ongoing Iranian barrages strain stockpiles, forcing the military to increasingly rely on upgraded but less capable systems, according to a Wall Street Journal report published Friday.

The shift comes as the war enters its fourth week, with Iran continuing near-daily launches of ballistic missiles and drones. In recent days, two Iranian missiles struck the southern cities of Dimona and Arad after interception attempts using modified, lower-tier systems failed.

Israeli air defenses, long regarded as among the most sophisticated in the world, have until now leaned heavily on the Arrow system to counter long-range ballistic threats. However, officials are now conserving these high-end interceptors, turning instead to enhanced versions of David’s Sling and even Iron Dome for threats they were not originally designed to handle.





The move reflects mounting pressure on military inventories, as both Israel and its allies contend with the high cost and slow production pace of advanced interceptors compared to Iran’s mass-produced missiles and drones.

Military planners must weigh each incoming threat carefully
“The number of interceptors of every type is finite,” Tal Inbar of the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance said, noting that prolonged conflict forces increasingly difficult decisions about when and how to deploy defensive systems.

Since the start of the war, Iran has launched more than 400 missiles alongside hundreds of drones. While the intensity of attacks has decreased from the initial phase, the steady pace, combined with daily fire from Hezbollah, continues to stretch Israel’s layered air-defense network.

Military planners must weigh each incoming threat carefully, deciding whether interception is necessary and which system to deploy, while preserving capabilities for future scenarios. Israel’s multi-tiered defense structure, ranging from Iron Dome for short-range threats to Arrow 3 for exo-atmospheric interceptions, was designed for flexibility, but not for sustained high-volume warfare over extended periods.

Recent efforts to adapt lower-tier systems have included software upgrades and expanded operational parameters. David’s Sling, for example, has been pushed to intercept longer-range ballistic threats, with uneven success. Iron Dome has also been adapted to engage drones and longer-range projectiles.

Still, the limitations of these adjustments were underscored by the direct hits in Dimona, home to Israel’s main nuclear facility, and Arad, incidents that heightened public concern and prompted some residents to relocate to reinforced shelters.

Thx.

What a day walking around and my mind kept repeating. "My daughter is a doctor."

Her brother I coached in baseball for over ten years. We shared some great moments together.

Work was always a method to make money. Being a father has always been my joy.

Hmmmm.

Maybe the republican would have won If he didn't mail on his ballot

To me he is a guy that will do great in the X vs the Y and I think he will do well working the middle of the field while making contested catches. I don't think he will thrive on the edge where he needs toe tap/ sideline catches often. I also feel like he won't do that great if he is moved around often.

in 2025 he would have been drafted after Emeka Egbuka | Travis Hunter Tetairoa McMillan Emeka Egbuka Matthew Golden Jayden Higgins Luther Burden Tre Harris Jack Bech
In 2024 he would have been drafted after Brian Thomas and before Xavier Worthy | Marvin Harrison Malik Nabers Rome Odunze Brian Thomas Xavier Worthy Ricky Pearsall Xavier Legette Keon Coleman Ladd McConkey Ja'Lynn Polk Adonai Mitchell
2023 right after Jordan Addison | Jaxon Smith-Njigba Quentin Johnston Zay Flowers Jordan Addison Jonathan Mingo Jayden Reed Rashee Rice Marvin Mims
2022 probably drafted right after Jameson Williams | Drake London Garrett Wilson Chris Olave Jameson Williams Jahan Dotson Treylon Burks Christian Watson Wan'Dale Robinson
2021 right after DeVonta Smith and before Kadarius Toney | Ja'Marr Chase Jaylen Waddle DeVonta Smith Kadarius Toney Rashod Bateman
2020 after Tee Higgins maybe after Michael Pittman. | Henry Ruggs Jerry Jeudy CeeDee Lamb Jalen Reagor Justin Jefferson Brandon Aiyuk Tee Higgins Michael Pittman Laviska Shenault

I think your summary is pretty spot on. He was put into an unwinnable position - he did the job as he saw it correctly and thoroughly and with an unbiased, non political agenda. Politics swept him up and vilified him which given his straight as an arrow reputation, military service and having been a registered Republican, was just sad and I guess an indication of the times and the impact of MAGA and the likes of Steve Bannon and company.

It is worth remembering that the reason for the inquiry/report was justified. Many people were prosecuted on the back of the report. As someone above mentioned Mueller always maintained it was not the reports purpose to say the PoTUS committed obstruction but to report the facts and let Congress decide.

With regards specifically to Trump the report did not exonerate him and stated: "If we had confidence that the President clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so" ... The report then provided what were 11 examples of behaviour exhibiting "Potential Obstruction". . . . including: Ordering White House Counsel Don McGahn to have Mueller fired (McGahn refused and threatened to resign). AND Privately sending messages of support to Flynn and Manafort; suggesting pardons to discourage them from cooperating.

News from the future!

Immediately after being elected as president in 2028 Gavin Newsom officially changed the name of the Trump National Doral Miami to the Golf of Mexico.

I'm not actually sure. I think it certainly has to be an improvement but how much of an improvement is yet to be seen. It seems the signings so far have been players strong in either pass protection or run blocking but not what would be considered well rounded players. I know that scheme also plays a part so it could be that the scheme will make up for some of that.

In the past I've gotten either far too positive or far too negative in terms of FA signings. It's caused me to be much more in a wait and see pattern than a projection pattern.

I always thought getting old would take longer.

Since we're stuck with AB what choice do we have but to hope he does well? We're not going to be competing for the division this year. We don't even have a QB.

And if you want to have a shot at answering the QB position in next years draft you better hope they don't do that well.

Hope is what you have when you have when all else has failed.

Chief Justice John Roberts Says 'Hostility Is Dangerous And It's Got To Stop' After Trump Attacks

Supreme Court Justice John Roberts said President Donald Trump's "hostility is dangerous" after the president raged over the Supreme Court's February tariff ruling against him.

"Personally directed hostility is dangerous and it’s got to stop," Roberts said during an appearance at Rice University in Houston on Tuesday.

Though he didn't mention Trump by name, the message seemed clear. On Sunday, Trump lashed out at the Supreme Court for their 6-3 ruling against him.

“The Court knew where I stood, how badly I wanted this Victory for our Country, and instead decided to, potentially, give away Trillions of Dollars to Countries and Companies who have been taking advantage of the United States for decades,” he wrote in a Truth Social post.

I'm pretending it still exists.

I could not stay awake.

Went to sleep top of 8th down 2-0.

So Harper ties it and then Venezuela won it.

Bummer. But they earned it. Went through the best teams to win it all.

Congratulations to them. Lots going on in their country. They are passionate about the game so I am happy for them.

The Major Leagues schedule is soon to start and all will be well.

"But they couldn't reach the American homeland"...

Wow. No biggie then, I guess.

I watched a re-play of San Fran VS Jacksonville this evening and I focused on our new addition Mr Davis. I came away pretty impressed. He was very disruptive the entire game. He does not play like a guy who weighs 310, very quick and appears to have a legit motor. I believe the game was the 4th of the season. I hope to find a few more re-plays of San Fran to watch to him again. Could be a very good signing, maybe the worm is turning. Go Browns!!

Kindness goes a long way.

It is important to see stories of kindness when so much suffering is going on in the world.

I have had some issues, but minor. My personal thanks, Purp, for what you do for this board. I appreciate it.
