Go woke, go broke
MLB started the season by “honoring” Black Lives Matter through player demonstrations and a logo behind the pitcher’s mound and it paid the price:
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/tv/other/world-series-tv-ratings-average-drops-32-25-below-previous-low/ar-BB1auusd
In addition, it introduced a number of major changes including forcing the DH on the National League and starting extra innings with a runner on second base. Why not just let batters hit off a tee?
Just as Francis is the pope you’d want if you wanted to destroy the Catholic Church, Rob Manfred is the commissioner you’d want if you’d want if you wanted to destroy baseball.
Of course, MSM is blaming the ratings decline on the election and the pandemic and the presidential election. People aren’t eating out as much, going to theaters or malls, why didn’t they watch the World Series, the NBA and NHL playoffs and the NFL? 2016 was an election year and the Cubs-Indians World Series ratings went bonkers.
Perhaps America’s love affair with professional sports is over. You regulars know I was a huge baseball fan. This year I wasn’t even aware the Dodgers won the WS until about 20 hours after it happened.

“Why not just let batters hit off a tee?”
Patriarchy that’s why.

I was thinking of moving to Texas…but all of a sudden Kentucky is looking good too! 🙂

BC,
How about an election prediction thread tomorrow?
[7]
The rationalizing of the Left (if they ever bother to even try), begins with something like this: “That’s ok, because…”
The reason they generally do NOT even bother to rationalize or defend ANY of their positions is that they feel SOOOOOO morally, socially and intellectually superior, they feel their awesomeness is, well, obvious. And if YOU don’t just get it…then you are clearly in need of Re-Education!
Still, I have had a couple of the Woke take a quick stab at explaining their positions (before simply labeling me something horrific, and moving on) and they go something like this…
[on the Democrat’s intent to restrict Freedom of Speech] “That’s ok, because some speech SHOULD be restricted because it’s hurtful or hateful…and the government should control that!”
[on the Democrat’s intent to restrict or eliminate the Right to Bear Arms] “That’s ok, because I don’t own a gun and I don’t like them”
[on the Democrat’s intent to restrict Freedom of Religion] “That’s ok, because so much of the Bible is not ‘inclusive’, and thus should not allowed to be preached.” (The Koran is NEVER mentioned)
[on the Democrat’s intent to restrict what people drive, eat, see, read and do] “That’s ok, because people often make bad choices that are hurtful or harmful for them, the environment or people around them. The government should be restricting those choices for the Greater Good!”
[on the Democrat’s intent to redistribute wealth] “That’s ok, because some people have more than other people…and that’s not fair!”
[on the Democrat’s intent to use the color of people’s skin to determine how society and government should treat them] “That’s ok, because we need to treat people differently in order to be fair to everyone.”
If you like the thought of government taking away your Rights, possessions, and freedoms for “The Greater Good” then vote Biden 2020!

Colorado: D+5.6 and falling
P.S. Billary +5 in 2016
[11]
50/50 CO falls to Trump.
If it wasn’t for Portland and Eugene WA would be for Trump.
MN narrowly won by Trump.
Loses WI by ‘that much’.
[12]
JR,
If you are atuned to a more sublime climate Kentucky is the better choice. You can get an approximate climate if you find elevation, Big Bend area for example. But it is going to be more like high desert California, aka Victorville, with way different scenery.
[13]
11 DR
Portland is in Oregon
And swapping MN and WI makes zero sense
Happy saturday!

According to Fat Frank Luntz, Trump pollster ”
@JMcLghln
is privately telling people that Trump is ahead in ALL the swing states–including Penn & Michigan, & tied in Wisconsin.”

Convinced the wife to watch election night with me. Any guidelines on what to look for during the evening to see how things are trending? Below is my plan so far…
Early in the evening confirm Florida looks to be a win for Trump. If not, it will be an early evening. Then see how NC and GA are doing. Could be a tough night if Trump is looking in danger in either place. If things look good in NC then look at NH. If NH looks good for Trump that would indicate a big night for Trump and we can begin to relax a little and at the minimum 2020 should look like a repeat of 2016.
Then later in the evening, we move to the midwest and check on Ohio. Should be looking good for Trump there. If not, he probably lost Florida already and things are over. Assuming Ohio looks good, then come the rust belt states. Probably PA, MI, MN, and WI will be looking too close to call long into the night — the longer they go the better for Trump. If two are three are called early for Biden things won’t be looking good, but all is not lost. By this time, any unexpected surprises on the East Coast should be evident. Good news for Trump would be him being unexpectedly competitive in NY or VA. Bad news would be trouble in GA and NC being called for Biden.
Later in the evening we move further west and see how AZ is doing. If AZ goes to Trump and he performed strong in Ohio and FL, the night should be Trump’s as he will only need one of the rust belt states or a surprise in any other state such as NH. If AZ is called for Biden, that is probably the end of the road for Trump, unless there are major surprises in his favor somewhere else. Good indications would be Trump perhaps taking NV (probably not due to cheating in Clark County) and CO or NM starting looking weak for Biden.
Any other suggestions on what to look for on Tuesday that would indicate how things will play out?
[17]
MPT, what to look for? Me drinking Scotch…no matter which way it is going. I usually only have a glass of single-malt every couple weeks. But Tuesday?? Either way, I’m gonna need it.

Eph, yeah I screwed up the state. I have no excuse, not even a beer. 🙂

“Any other suggestions on what to look for on Tuesday that would indicate how things will play out?”
I have a different desire. I am looking for which group on CNN, M$DNC, or ?? will have the best exploding heads.

Sir Sean Connery Dies
A cultural icon. A little before my time, but even the echoes overshadowed the many that followed.
[23]

I didn’t watch it live in 2016, but the Young Turks may have had the best show in this regard. Primarily because you can see euphoria slowly turn through all the anguished phases of grief.

007 made connery, but the movie I liked best was ‘The Wind and the Lion’. Verbal assault at its best.

Curious about the interest Kentucky. Nice, pretty state, but not as tax-friendly as it’s neighbor to the south TN. Winters not quite as mild either. Typing this as we are en route to TN to look it over, and coincidentally will cross the IN KY border in about 10 minutes (Mrs Boz driving this stint). Almost anything will be better than IL, but is there something I’m missing about KY? Should I put it on the list?

[29]
Re: Tuesday night, if Trump is showing strong in battlegrounds, I fully expect to hear the MSM (FNC included) all regurgitating “the mail-in ballots are not all counted, so can’t call it”. If Biden shows any strength in the swings, they will quickly forget about the mail-ins and be itching to call the election early.
[30]
I was actually referring to Miss Kentucky above! 🙂

JR – too funny. I guess my current focus is less on cheerleaders and more on GTFO of Chicago 🙂

Oh wow…this is crossed over from being a joke to being tragic. We watched my mother-in-law slowly deteriorate mentally, and it’s not a pretty picture. And yes, word salad is a real thing as it applies to dementia patients. I’s a term I first heard from the wonderful, selfless caregivers at her memory care home. My main sadness in Joe’s situation is in the fact that there are still people are actually voting for this guy.

[35]
77-80% of Dems vs only 20-29% of Rs are worried about #COVID19 –> Massive R turnout advantage in in-person voting, esp. on 11/3. #POTUS’s landslide win margins may surprise even the most optimistic among us. #MAGA
Its over

Probably one of the stupidest political arguments right now is “more than 200,000 have died from Corona because of Trump” coupled with “We (Biden/Harris) have a plan to deal with Corona.” We get it at the debates and in the commercials.
First if you have this miracle plan, why the hell have you not implemented it? Senator Harris, you get to present and pass laws. Mr. Biden, your party has control of the House of Representatives where all the money gets spent — why have you not passed and funded this miracle plan months ago? Why do we have to wait and see who wins the election and you all get your butts back in Washington in January? Seems like if what you say is true, and you did nothing but hold your miracle plan, those 200K are on you!
Secondly, when all the political BS is peeled back, there is not one single Mayor or Governor that can honestly say that they did not get what they needed, and more, to keep the medical system from being overwhelmed. Mobile field hospitals went unused. Naval hospital ships went unused. Charity mobile hospitals went unused. The private sector and Americans stepped up and met the PPE needs. The partnership between the White House and the private sector cranked out ventilators and not only met the needs, but replenished the emergency stockpiles. Not one, but multiple variations of vaccines have been discovered and are in final trials in the fastest time in history.
Take your secret plan and shove it. I am too old to buy into snake oil scams and too experienced to not look at the real evidence/record.
Vote like your life depends on it! Why ? Because it does!

The walker machine is no more. 🙁
Luntz… let’s be real he doesn’t know jack from his own data any more than us, he’s repeating what some others are telling him…. probably from Biden campaign though, haha.
On GA, I wouldn’t worry too much, thankfully Trump has not ignored the monstrous D efforts going on here (we’ll see if state parties have thier shit together after 2018 near disaster), should be +3-5. Be aware though we’ll 98% chance have to have a run off a few weeks from now for the second senate seat as the bitch and Collins will split the R vote and D’s will throw everything at it again.
29 – They’ll be pushing rioting by 3am if he’s well ahead by good margins everywhere he needs to be.
21 – Well damn… RIP Sean Connery, an icon indeed . Also to my memory, largely kept to himself, which is under appreciated among entertainers who aren’t ready to step in the ring themselves. Figures it would be in October too.

41,
If you have reached the royal title of ‘Sir’ what is there left to prove? Kick back and enjoy the fruits of thy labor — in peace. Celebrity is overrated.
[44]
34 – Jbos Jesus… this is why they should have stuck with the prevent-defense they originally planned, better to be mocked in the basement then come out and remove all doubt. BTW that’s being shared a lot, even among seemingly biden supporters..yikes.
[45]
43 – Oh I agree, I just mean it’s nice when people know when to retire (which he did), and over the years didn’t wildly opine about things outside of his field. So rare these days, with so many ruining what might otherwise might have been good\untainted legacies.

KH – 44 – That should be telling you something. As bad as Biden is, it must be really bad on their polling results that they HAD to bring him out.
The following is a Joe Biden tweet.
I’m not going to shut down the country.
I’m not going to shut down the economy.
I’m going to shut down the virus.
3:10 PM · Oct 30, 2020·TweetDeck
Internal polling must be telling the Democrats that the message of shutting down the country/economy is not a winning message.
Take away – not looking good for the democrats BUT looking good for America.

Tonight most of us move our clocks back an hour. We’ll have the semi-annual b!tching (mostly from retirees) about how this is the worst thing since the sinking of the Titanic as it messes up their schedules.
If you’re retired, what difference does it make if you get up and the clock says 7:00 or 8:00? It’s not like you have to be anywhere.
Daylight savings was designed for people who have lives – so they can get 9 holes of golf in after work, spend time gardening or so that baseball, softball lacrosse and soccer leagues will have enough daylight to play games weekday evenings.

Signs all over the web that the left is starting to realize reality will be kicking them in the ass once again.
The interesting thing, as Bannon has suggested, that a Sanders/Warren ticket would have been a much more interesting race against Trump/Pence. Left-wing populism against right-wing populism. Instead, the Dems let the tattered remnants of the Clinton machine force Harris on to the ticket and hope that they can somehow get her to become President by proxy. I don’t believe there is, or ever was, any intention of the Dems ever actually letting Biden become President.
