Man, those two pictures, she's gone through some Changes.
For What It's Worth, I Don't Know, and we may Never Know Why.
A Shot in the Dark, maybe the Woman needs Therapy, or it's Demon Alcohol, Truly, God Only Knows?
Maybe she's an Ozzempic Junkie?
Here's a Revelation, instead of all this guessing in this thread, which is a Road to Nowhere, y'all need to call Perry Mason.
By the looks of it, someone needs to help her, she looks like she is Running Out of Time because she could definitely fit right into Pictures of Matchstick Men.

re: Liberal economist comes to terms with Trump Tariffs
Posted by Floating Change Up on 1/16/26 at 10:14 am to TBoy

This is likely the primary adjustment that has softened the blow. When the administration rolled out the first set of tariffs on "liberation day", they were ridiculous across the board tariffs on almost every trading partner around the world without any discernable metric or policy. Since that time the tariffs have adjusted hundreds of times. It's to the point that I doubt that anyone has any idea what the tariff rates are anymore.
The tariffs have adjusted to focus somewhat on specific trading partners and specific sectors. That is how tariffs should be focused. If the tariffs are addressing specific trade policies or protecting specific domestic industries, tariffs become rational.
You sure do say a lot of words here when you simply could have said...
"Yup. Trump was right."

Any baws here going to attend the WBC?
I tried to get tickets to USA/Mexico yesterday -- sold out in minutes.
Just as well, my son has high school games so I would have to miss those to go see WBC. Not worth it.
Although, the experience of USA/Japan, USA/Mexico, and Japan/Korea in Anaheim in 2006 are all easily Top-8 sporting environments that I have attended in person - the crowds were insanely loud and festive. The rosters on those 4 teams were absolutely loaded with amazing baseball players.

You're right. He's worth $120 million a year.
Because the Dodgers are over the top tax threshold, Tucker's salary is taxed at 100% -- so it will cost them $120MM.

I think Tucker absolutely shines this season -- he will be surrounded with star personalities so he doesn't have to be "THE guy" like he was in Chicago. I think he puts up a monster year.**

There is another option.
Salary Dump cocksuck in a package with Peña. Return grabs us a legit OFer.
Correa back to SS.
ESock to 1B.
Cam to 3B
I mean, will kick some kittens if they move Peña. But I can see Brown feeling cornered into making some dumb decisions.

Oh no, I am fully on board with the government seeking justice in this case. I want them to pursue every charge that can be brought against the little Justine Bieber bitch that was instigating the entire situation.
And a nice spot bonus for the officer for not wasting any bullets.

re: Former MLB player and scout opines on the state of baseball in 2025 (analytics)

Hitters now dump the barrel in an attempt to get on plane, but they:
• Struggle to stay inside the baseball
• Lose adjustability
• Operate with slower effective bat speed
I probably agree with these bullet points. However, he does ignore some very relevant points of the barrel dump:
• Players are much more athletic today than they were 30 years ago. On whole, they are stronger and faster. Yes, they may suffer some of the negatives of the barrel dump, but because they are stronger and work on twitch muscle response into their game prep, most of those negatives are minimized.
• Analytics has made the game somewhat more predictable, so the need to adjust to individual pitches mid-pitch (like a Vlad Guerrero was so famous for) really isn't needed. Analytics has the hitters much more prepped in understanding expected next pitch. And where that fails, there's always trash cans available to bang on.
• I disagree with his take that pitchers are not throwing harder -- mostly. Yes, there are always outliers of elite hard throwers... JR Richards, Nolan Ryan, Satchel Page, et. al. But even the great hitters of the 80's and 90's pretty much agree -- todays hitters face the challenge of hitting more elite hitting on a daily basis than of decades ago -- 95 is no longer an outlier, it is the norm.
quote:
Pitchers are taught max effort on every pitch. Starters rarely exceed 90 pitches or five innings, work almost exclusively to either arm side or glove side, and live in deep counts. Relievers are almost universally max effort, arm-side only.
The consequence is obvious:
• Poor command
• Inconsistent control
• Little ability to sequence or adjust
Despite all the technology, pitching command and overall feel are as bad as I’ve ever seen at the big-league level.
More data didn’t make the game smarter.
It just made it louder — and in many cases, worse.
Again, I don't disagree with his bullet points. But I do disagree with his conclusions.
More data isn't the problem with baseball. The drive to get mega-contracts and the minimal effort curtail them is what has caused baseball to be in its current state. Sign a guy to a $400 million long-term contract -- no problem if he only gives you 40% value on that contract because he blew out his arm -- there's always someone else willing to take his place.
Now we have mega-contracts with mega-deferrals. What a recipe for disaster. It is going to drive the cost of watching a game live to astronomical prices in about 15 years. And they're pretty much at stupid level already.
