When I read your intro I thought maybe Steve Trachsel came out of retirement...but then I remembered he was still in the stretch waiting to throw a pitch from a game that started in September 2006
Not that this should have had any impact on the decision to impeach, but I wonder if enough Republicans generally consider the impeachments to be just a Democrat political ploy and will respond in kind the next time they control the House and there is a Democrat president? Which could happen during the Biden presidency. Maybe they just impeach Biden on some highly dubious grounds just to make him look bad, because they perceive that as being what the Democrats did to Trump.
Ben Shapiro seems completely dispassionate about baseball. He is just doing a job as efficiently and effectively as possible. The concerns of the fans never enter his mind. The financial interests of his boss does, of course.
I wonder how many MLB executives actually have a love and passion for the game. Alex Anthopoulos seems like he does -- he worked his way up from the bottom of MLB. That might explain why he made a push to help the Blue Jays get over the hump.
TBH I would have been surprised if POTUS paid Giuliani‘s bills at all… Even if he won! He has a pretty well-established track record of stiffing everybody but himself. Can’t wait to see the contortions used to tap his last round of “Stop the Steal” donations for personal use.
Is it the general consensus that Lizzie did the murders? I've read a lot about that case and the Man From The Train murders and I can't see how she could have done it, but then again it will be forever impossible to know for sure.
The Bed and Breakfast IS the murder house, and is the one for sale. I spent a night there once. The tour guide was fantastic. Total bullshit storytelling, and ghost stories that didn't make sense, but it was exactly what we paid for. Then they told us to go out on the town, and gave the 8 groups 2 keys, total, that we had to coordinate with after drinking for hours in Fall River. Good times.
I haven't read "Other Stuff" yet, but I have one baseball thing that bothers me--help me out if you know the answer. My beloved Seattle Mariners--it doesn't seem like they are unwilling to spend money, and follow the "profit before wins" standard. Someone tell me why we can't buy a stupid WC playoff spot??? Help me find where I should deposit my sports-frustration.
By the way, we need a word for this. It isn't about actually being upset--just mad at your team enough that you have to shake your head for a minute after a terrible game before you sit down for dinner while you tell your non-sports-loving family things like, "They LEFT HIM IN!!??! MAN. That sucked."
Did anyone else watch all ~7min of Trump's speech yesterday? It is actually very calming. Six months of this rather than tweets would have allowed him to grift eternally and given him four more years despite pandemic results. I realize this isn't news (I've seen the "Trump wouldn't be Trump if he could have done this), but it still shocks me how easily we are calmed by a "respectable" image to give things legitimacy.
“Impeachment of Donald Trump” now has a disambiguation page on Wikipedia.
It continues to amuse me how the insurrectionists are discovering exactly why their fathers, uncles, uncle-daddies, and grandfathers wore hoods.

I'd never read the piece about your family that you linked to, Craig. That is a tremendous piece of writing. Wow.
I'm mildly relieved that Todd Ricketts may not be the most reactionary owner in MLB.
Has Stefan Thomas tried "12345"? I've got the same combination on my luggage!
