You can cancel baseball next year. Imagining how good the Mariners should be is a lot more fun than watching how bad they are.

I think the M's lineup looks a lot better tonight with Donovan and Ward. Might not have been as big an improvement as some people wanted, but that's a good couple of bats to have. Crawford returning next week; altogether, lots more on base with those three than the current makeup.

So what's the strategy behind staring at a fastball down the middle on a 3-1 count and then swinging at a fastball up and away at 3-2?

Republicans worry what will happen to your child if they see someone with a noncomforming gender identity . . . that is so far from the list of concerns I have, let me tell you.

I met Lindsey Graham once -- he expressed two completely irreconcilable opinions in one breath. I don't know if that's intelligent or not, but I'm not sure I've come across the same level of hypocrisy since.

WTF? "During the lunch, Mr. Trump said he was particularly angry with Senator Dave McCormick, Republican of Pennsylvania, for missing Tuesday’s vote . . . Mr. McCormick was traveling with the president at the time, and his presence to vote 'no' would not have been enough to defeat the measure."

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

Per AI (grain of salt), 25ish percent of 3-0 counts get to 3-2. What I don't get is why take on 3-0, if you're gonna swing at 3-1? In both situations, the pitcher has an incentive to throw a strike.
