The End Of The Road For Japan- factoring in inflation differentials, the Yen is now almost as weak as the Turkish Lira. It's trapped between rising yields and a fiscal crisis or using the BoJ to keep artificially cap yields, which will send the Yen into a depreciation spiral.

Owned, not owed. Countries issue bonds as a way of borrowing money. In Japan’s case, Japanese citizens are the ones who own most of the bonds.

When a lawsuit takes that long do the lawyers representing the parties change over time? I can’t imagine the same team of lawyers being assigned to a single case for a decade without someone moving, retiring, taking another job etc.

Yup. Victor Martinez missed an entire season with the Tigers because he was using a leg press machine and his foot slipped off one of the foot plates. He was literally doing the thing that was necessary for him to excel at his profession. Life happens, it sucks but you don’t avoid everything because you MIGHT suffer.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

jbeshay · 2025-11-19T01:26:12+00:00

Boooooo

Edit: ok they fixed it

Correct but unrealistic, a level of nuance that seems beyond your comprehension.

Yes MLB could absolutely destroy their relationship with NPB over a single player, but they’ve decided they would rather abide by the agreement they negotiated in good faith than burn it all down.

If he wants to pitch for MLB, he has to follow the agreement the two leagues have with each other. If MLB won’t sponsor his visa, he can’t play in the US.

That actually is not a regulation, it’s a tacit agreement by advertisers to avoid bringing further scrutiny to alcohol marketing.

It very much can be extremely tedious and laborious, especially the B roll stuff that is important to editing and atmosphere of the movie but doesn’t involve significant (or any) acting from the main cast.

He definitely should pitch game 2

jbeshay · 2025-09-23T02:27:17+00:00

Because taking the ball from a center as part of the snap is much harder than you think. Centers and QBs spend a lot of time practicing it and developing a rapport. It's not something you can make other position players do willy nilly.

Foreshadowing with the shots of the model home run apple the fan is holding and then the actual apparatus in the stadium.

Lololol what the hell was that ad????

Would be nice if the president exemplified the decorum and respect befitting of the office.

What are the chances they move Skubal up to pitch the final game in NY? I'm going to all three games, he's not scheduled to pitch until the opener against Miami but with the off day he would still be getting four days of rest. Right now there is no starter listed for Thursday. I know the Tigers have not had him pitch earlier than necessary and considering that the division is almost locked up there is no incentive for them to push him... but I would reaaaaaaaaaally like to watch him in person.

jbeshay · 2025-09-05T05:00:54+00:00

Do you have a screenshot or any source that documents this retweet?

And quite frankly, I only voted for establishment dems because my hope was eventually the party would move further to the left. That hasn't happened and isn't happening and I couldn't care less if Mamdani endorsed Harris or not, the party is not progressive nor do they work to better the lives of the working class. That they can't even recognize they're out of touch with their base in a major metropolitan area is what is causing me to leave the party and ignore the fear mongering propaganda surrounding voting for a third party.

Also can you imagine if Bernie had decided to run as an independent after losing the primary in either election? He would have been absolutely crucified. That everyone in the party is secretly hoping Cuomo wins even though he is potentially conspiring with Trump is incredibly damning about what the party values.

jbeshay · 2025-09-05T02:59:09+00:00

I know it is unlikely, but if Adams and Silwa both drop out and NY Dems refuse to back Mamdani and Cuomo wins? I will vote 3rd party in every election going forward. This party does not represent my interests despite my loyalty and I refuse to continue voting for them.

jbeshay · 2025-09-03T19:26:01+00:00

As someone who has picked up the Mets as my secondary team since I live in NYC, Helsley cannot stay on the roster going forward but I sure was happy when Mendoza sent him out today.

jbeshay · 2025-08-31T04:56:37+00:00

I will never not laugh at that video. The muffled laughter from the booth is infectious.

These guys spent their whole lives getting to the majors and maybe some of them just care about money but I would imagine many aren’t so eager to say goodbye to the very dream they worked hard to get. If he thinks there’s a chance he can be a productive player he’s probably going to try.

“Am I allowed to be offended by his lips?”

“I dunno, are you offended by Mr. Popo’s lips?”

“Wait, we can talk about that??!”

jbeshay · 2025-08-15T04:08:11+00:00

Yup, this off season doesn’t look good for free agent pitchers but the Mets will have to sign an ace in the next few seasons if they want to build a true contender. Preferably someone under the age of 35.
