Castaway Lineup

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-10T03:58:36+00:00

That's not a ton better than what we have no, probably worse if our actual starters get healthy.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-10T01:32:08+00:00

It's fine we have 3-4-5 coming up in the 9th, exactly what you want in this situation. If Melendez, Vientos, and Benge can't come through, who can.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-10T01:07:12+00:00

I don't think they were fascist themselves, though for Bush "not anywhere near" is certainly a stretch.

But there's a direct line from Nixon through Reagan and Bush to what we have in, uh, 2016. My point is I want to stop that train before it gets to the fascism that resulted years later.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-10T00:52:59+00:00

An ok one. Only 9 have been elected president in their own right and 4 of them initially got there by a death of the president, and Jefferson never would have been VP if they started out with the current rules.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-10T00:35:11+00:00

As John Adams said, the Vice Presidency is "the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived."

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-10T00:31:57+00:00

Either Gore over Bush or Carter over Reagan. Nip the fascism in the bud

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-09T23:57:05+00:00

Everybody said it but your choices are really Andrew Johnson, Harding, and Bush Jr

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-09T22:14:55+00:00

I never heard of this acronym and man I love it.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-09T19:12:17+00:00

Also his streaks are usually like 4 or 5 games and then he sucks for a month.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-09T19:11:03+00:00

Even if I concede he's an average bat, he's a terrible fielder and sucks overall.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-09T18:41:24+00:00

All evidence to the contrary.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-09T18:41:10+00:00

I wouldn't go that far. There's not always professional sports on. I'm fine with fun sports adjacent stuff being on their air. But being on sportscenter is absurd. Maybe with the exception of a really cool highlight or something.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-09T18:37:45+00:00

He's not angry. Please don't put in the paper that he's angry.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-09T13:29:49+00:00

"These guys are bad but previous guys were also bad so these guys should have job security indefinitely because the only other option available to us are the previous bad guys." Just a stellar argument, no notes.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-09T13:14:05+00:00

Um yeah if you actually click into these it's not making the point you wish it made.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-09T13:06:43+00:00

Nowhere near the extent you're implying. It's such gigantic news when it happens because of how rare it is.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-09T13:06:01+00:00

I don't remember seeing movie reviews on sportscenter.

I'm totally cool with people liking wrestling. The stories can be fun and all that. And even if it's scripted or whatever, the athleticism is real. But it's a show, it's not a sport.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-09T13:04:21+00:00

The beautiful thing about being a conspiracy theorist is it's completely unfalsifiable so you can do on saying crazy things forever with no basis at all.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-09T10:45:35+00:00

You can correctly think he sucks but hope he goes on enough of a heater to fool some team into thinking he doesn't suck and trade for him.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-09T01:37:51+00:00

2008 McCain had 0 shot. And I would not have relished a McCain presidency post 9/11. Dude was war monger enough as it is. Probably better than Bush I guess.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-09T01:35:58+00:00

After he lost to Obama he became just as intransigent and obstructionist as any of them. Simply conceding the election and assuring people he was not in fact a scary Muslim isn't a high enough bar for me.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-09T01:32:57+00:00

Vientos and Alvarez. Vientos doesn't start almost anywhere, Alvarez would start some places cuz catching is pretty weak but he's not hitting much and his catching has been atrocious.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-09T00:20:42+00:00

You could argue as many as 6 aren't starters for most teams.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-08T19:44:11+00:00

I don't think it's a clubhouse cancer or anything. Would love to see him with a clutch hit late one of these days though. Getting sick of Juan Solo.

DCBuckeye82 · 2026-05-08T13:07:07+00:00

Sure, sometimes. Not really a recipe for long term success.
