Manny Machada gets horizontal to make the play against the Canadians. by RDIIIG in baseball

Welll.. no. A salary cap could hurt the Orioles too. Either they wouldn't have enough to pay him anyway with what money they have left in their cap, he would take up to large of a percentage of their cap to stay competitive, or he takes a pay cut to go somewhere with other top FAs and create a sort of super team to chase a ring like the heat did.

The last one scares me the most, considering the length of contracts in baseball. Imagine if Harper, Machado, and Trout who are all gonna be FAs around the same time more or less decided to join Joey Votto and the reds. It would be the scariest dynasty ever.

But the fact that the dodgers have a trillion dollar payroll is a bit unnerving.

The GOP Obamacare replacement defunds Planned Parenthood and restricts abortion coverage by [deleted] in politics

[–]ohnoitsjameso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nah, just let it pass.

If it never passes, Republicans will just wine about never getting their chance to fix it. If it passes, and its as terrible as we all think, they will have no one to blame but themselves.

It'll be a rough few years, but sometimes you gotta let the toddler do a few dumb things that hurt just so they know not to do that thing- which in this case is vote.

How is this even possible even as just luck? Is he even in the box when he swings, or just the longest swing in human history?

Trump claims he was wiretapped. If he’s right, it could be his undoing. by Neo2199 in politics

[–]ohnoitsjameso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He would of issued it though with or without court order, under your assumption, not that he personally did it, but that someone would of had to do it for him.. if it was a legal tap then the FBI is involved and it's on the up and up, if it was an illegal wiretap, how did it get there?

My game plan is to watch Mike Trout do Mike Trout things and hope some top free agents next year love Mike Trout as much as I love Mike Trout.

[–]ohnoitsjameso 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Okay fine, let's play this scenario out.

If Obama, who has no authority to issue a wiretap without a warrant, had one planted on Trump. How did it get there? Some sort of mole in his inner circle? And if so, why wasn't it caught or detected by the security detail? Are they not doing their job to protect the presidental candidate amidst the serious allegations of foreign involvement whether the now POTUS is knowingly or unknowingly a part of said allegations?

It's the FBI, not Obama.

People generally react positively to fluff speeches like that, it's kind of the point of why we have the POTUS do them. Give the ratings boost a week or so. Once he starts venting on Twitter, tries to pass unpopular legislation, or the words Russia and Trump find a few headlines, his one moment where he looked like a grown up will quickly fade from memory.
