Yeah, imagine that... Gov. Abbott ignores Biden, and because of that the illegal crossings are dropping. Right now, people like yourself will believe Biden if (when, because we know he will), says "Border Crossing is down, I did that!", but if he wins the election, he'll come after Abbott. Like a good fool, you'll applaud him. When the illegal crossings goes back up, you'll tell us how it's not a problem.

Yeah, who saw that coming?

How deep does your self hatred go? You might want to consider a shrink. Just sayin'.

That'll be someone else's problem, not the Pirates. He'll be traded by the time that comes along.

It won't be on national tv, so probably once, twice. I'm sure she'll be sitting with his parents and there's always the in-game interviews. Does that count?

Honestly, I didn't think there was much he could do down there in the first place. From a progress stand point, he was further along that Jared Jones coming into Spring Training, but for some reason, Skenes only pitched 2 innings and Jones 13. The only logical conclusion for that is that they were trying to get Skenes to fall under the Super 2. The funny thing is that the ML team literally gave them the excuse for keeping him down there, but they still brought him up. I'm just shocked, that's all. From listening to Pirates sports talk and reading local articles, Pirates fans are very reasonable on his expectations, and that's where Skenes' ears should be. Not the national media. I haven't paid too much attention to that, but the locals seem to be on the consensus opinion that W's and L's are irrelevant, because the team can't hit... that's not his problem. But, if he can post a sub 3.5 ERA with about 1 K per IP and WHIP around 1.2 or less, Pirates fans will be very encouraged. Next year is the year that Pirates fans will have higher expectations. I mean, the dude was a #1 overall pick. The pick itself sets the expectations as being an Ace. Now, he doesn't have to be a superstar, but the pick carries the expectation that he'll be the guy you count on in big games. Not much different than Caleb Williams for the Bears, or any other QB who's picked #1 overall.

Yeah, he's no different than the other faux centrists. CeNtRiSt: Biden's bad, but Trump is worse. Normal person: How so? CeNtRiSt: Trump is racist Normal person: Biden knowingly put millions of black men in prison for smoking weed. CeNtRiSt: But Trump says racist things all the time. Normal person: Biden: "Poor people are just as smart as white people", "...the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.", “unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.” CeNtRiSt: Yeah, Biden's bad, I said that... but Trump is worse. The list goes on and on and on.

I'm just tired of his b.s.

Yeah, I'm totally shocked they're doing this. It's completely operating outside their norm. I don't know how it's going to help the team though... they're not scoring runs.

No I'm not jackazz. I never defended Trump. In this very focking thread I said I don't care if he goes to jail. I'm calling out the people with the air of superiority when their guy literally did the same focking thing or worse. So, as I said a little while ago, gtfoh. Feel free to not respond, because I'm done with your childish bs.

Now you're pretending his daughter didn't write that in her diary? Or are you contending that she's lying?

Because you're acting like a child when everything is here. The answer is YES. Did Biden physically take baths with his daughter? The answer is YES. It's not a whataboutism (hypocrisy... either way), to call out Trump for saying something about his daughter when Biden physically did things with his daughter that are unacceptable? The answer is YES. Then here you come calling me out for whataboutisms, when I'm calling him out. Give me a break dude.

Why don't you just say that you're ok with the white man who ACTUALLY put black men in prison then claimed the other side will put you in chains?

YES OR NO DUMBAZZ?

Watch, she'll say "yeah but, what about white nationalism"? LOL
