The most interesting thing about this will be if Nick Adams is an actual real person or not.

I'm pretty sure he is an elaborate troll (nobody could be as sincerely sycophantic as the character he plays) but in 2025, trolling is reality.

This sounds familiar.....

Folks, I'm old enough to remember the days when Rush Limbaugh cried for weeks on end about the "jack-booted thugs" under Janet Reno's command. Now, the Right cheers as tens of billions of dollars are poured into recruiting and arming masked ICE gunmen so they can meet the Regime's deportation quotas.

Way more

Superman was fun. A bit cheesy, but that's Superman for the most part. 7.5/10

They need someone to hit baseballs but I do not know enough about other MLB teams to identify who that is.

Jac's  sub .500 OPS isn't doing it for ya huh?

Bringing Cags up when we did was a swing at a pitch low and away.

Depends if he gets hot between now and the ASG. If he doesn’t he probably gets sent down. He’s had a couple homers this week so if it took him a month to figure it out then I think that’s worth the payoff. I read he’s taken better AB’s the past couple games, too. It’s probably just homers getting excited about a coupl homers this week but maybe it’s not! 

I doubt he gets sent down at this point unless things really spiral. He's on pace for about 20 HRs over a full season. Not bad for a rookie that probably got called up too early. Def needs to cut down on strike outs and get more other hits, but I think he has been fine so far. If he goes on another bad streak and starts throwing crap, never mind about the above. They can't break him.

Seriously, all Trump has to do is release it without himself in it.  He doesn't actually give a eff about anyone.  Just do it.

True, but MAGA won't even care if he's on it (he is). They will just focus on everyone else on the list that they don't like anyway and the story will go away in 2 days just like every other one does.

Must be homosexuality because decades of criminal activity didn't seem to move the needle.

yeah, this should be fun. Paxton is one of the worst people in MAGA and she has been cool with everything for years. This must be a doozy.

Because he wants to go to Mars and that's important to survival of the species

I don't understand why so many people think the survival of the species is important. Especially Christian people, but just in general, I don't really care what people are doing 100 years from now.

I mean, I hope it will be more than 100 years but I get your point. I also think that if humans destroy an entire planet for the sole reason of rich people getting richer and dumbasses completely ignoring science that has been around for decades, they shouldn't get another planet.

Who is viable from dodgers and cubs in regards to a good hitting OF that can play right away?

No idea, but it won't take much to upgrade the current outfield situation. I personally would aim at a "prospect" with the hope of hitting on them. They most likely aren't getting a "good" MLB ready outfielder. I've seen Brian Reynolds from the Pirates being tossed around. I'd personally rather run with Lofton and Cags this year than someone like that and try and hit on someone in high A or AA from a trade partner. A guy like Reynolds isn't going to win them a playoff series this year so i'd be looking at 2026/27, but i'm just an idiot on a message board.

This is so mumped up

https://www.reddit.com/r/ICE_Raids/s/Y0vdYsEd3v

I think I would take my grand and free commercial flight to my actual home country asap.

It seems like these folks (to be fair, from what i understand these were convicted criminals) took a shackled flight in a shipping container to South Sudan instead. What's the angle there?

to appear and to actually be as cruel as possible because they think it will deter future immigrants and because they have the critical thinking skills of gold fish.

Only 3 games back in the WC you gotta try

I'd still trade Lugo if they can get a decent return. He's gone next year and even if they sneak in to the wildcard, it most likely ends like it did last year when they face legit playoff teams. I know baseball is weird and anything can happen, but these bats aren't winning any playoff series. Trade Lugo and hope you end up like the Tigers last year by still making the wildcard and then kicking ass in 2026. Playing the Pirates is fun though!!!!!

Not a bad idea at all. See what we can get for him and move up a little.

I saw a chart or something the other day and they had him listed as the 3rd most valuable trade chip at the deadline. I think he was the top pitcher on the list. Rumors that the Dodgers and Cubs have called. I know prospects aren't dealt like they used to be at the deadline, but having two of the richest teams after your guy should yield a decent haul. They just have to hit on the return which is easier said than done.
