I have no proof it is just a hunch but I think Shohei is going on the IL. We’ll see how this ages.

I got an MMR booster last spring - I don’t have a record of when I got my original shot, and we have had measles cases in Washtenaw County. Hopefully we don’t have a serious outbreak.
Catherine Rampell@crampell.bsky.social · 3w agoThe share of U.S. kindergartners with exemptions from school vaccine requirements for the 2025-2026 school year rose to another record high, as the country battles its worst measles resurgence in 35 years.

Kindergarten vaccine exemptions jump to another record high
Coverage among kindergartners for major vaccines fell in more than half the states, continuing a years-long trend, as measles cases climb.

We need to come to grips with some things. Congress isn’t going to do anything about it. The Supreme Court probably won’t stop it. Costs are going up for a vast majority of people, even if the rich can afford it. Polls are nearly useless in a time where people lack home phones/screen cell calls.
Do we believe the shoulder mounted missile launcher thing?
Am I understanding this correctly: 1) New AF1 is delivered without the security of old AF1. 2) He insists on flying in it. 3) Iran threatens the plane. 4) They land in Turkey, remove him in a delivery truck and put him on another plane. 5) Everyone else is left on the non-secure plane.
It is just wild to see the Michigan I live in characterized by people who do not live in Michigan.
He has been a nice surprise in a mediocre Tigers season.
MLB@mlbbot.bsky.social · 4w agoT as in Troy? Actually ... yes! Troy Melton has been locked in on the bump this season 😮 (MLB x @SageUSAmerica)
To paraphrase The Natural, I believe there are two Michigans. The one we live in, and the one the national media has created. You all give me good laughs and also make me want to throw my phone against the wall.
It is so wild to see out of towners analyzing the Dem MI Senate race. You’re getting so much wrong.
This is a garbage return and no one can convince me otherwise. But the wheels were set in motion when the Tigers disrespected him in arbitration.
Lots of data about the absentee and early ballot count in Michigan. Absentee ballot requests are up 59% from 2022 and 36% more ballots have been returned. Bottom line: the races here are already being decided. www.michigan.gov/sos/resource...

Just a reminder: in 2024, 61% of Michigan votes were early or absentee ballots. Early voting begins on Saturday. Absentee ballots went out in late June. Election Day itself (Aug. 4) is when a smaller portion of voters will cast ballots.
Betting NBC is kicking itself that it will be airing a bullpen game instead of Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s 1st regular season MLB complete game.
Trivia: I met Ricardo Montalban.

If you’ve watched Star Trek, you’ve probably had your share of “I know that person” moments, when it comes to guest stars. So let us consider Ricardo Montalbån, long before he was Khan in Star Trek’s ...

You all will know the answer better than I do. Normally, when a U.S. senator dies, it can take days to name their replacement. They at least wait until after the funeral. The replacement is sometimes a veteran retired politician, or occasionally a widow. At least someone familiar with the law. So
Did you know there have been many film adaptations of The Brothers Karamazov and William Shatner made his film debut in one? You will if you listen.

Is a Democrat in name only A DINO? I can think of several.
You all are going to take Mamdani seriously now, aren’t you.
Michigan is trying to find a new president. It just signed a new football coach. Now it has to find a new men’s basketball coach. Turbulent times in Ann Arbor.
