About as dumb as your comment above? WTF are you babbling about. What does Bush and Obama have to do with anything I had said?

It's been almost 2 years now, and I'm still waiting for the intelligence community to publicly release the "undeniable proof" they claim to have of Russian hacking/meddling/collusion. Many ex US intelligence officials are on record as saying any evidence they have could easily be released to the public without compromising any sources or methods used to obtain such evidence. Until they release this "undeniable proof", it's de facto "fake" news.

Does anyone here really believe this bull market will last much longer? There's at least 4 all-time bubbles right now in housing (again), auto subprime loans, student loans, and derivatives. Credit card debt also reached an all-time high not that long ago. It will be interesting to see the market's reaction when Janet Yellen is likely replaced by Jerome Powell within the next few weeks. Even though Powell is not directly chosen by Trump, it find it interesting how the media is touting Powell as "Trump's pick". Is Trump and Powell being set up to become the scapegoats? Not to sound too conspiratorial, but I truly believe that Trump was chosen to be the "fall guy" for the inevitable crash of the stock market. It's as if they knew this crazy run wouldn't last another 4-8 years so they needed an "outsider" to become president and take all the blame for the mess they created. I can see the DOW reaching 30,000 before they decide to pull the plug.

This. He's Maddon 2.0

When it comes to defensive metrics, the area where he's average at best is holding runners (already on-base) from taking extra bases. Baseball-reference shows a league average "held" rate for five specific situations being roughly 44% on a yearly basis, and only one time has Trout been above that which was at 50.9%. Surprisingly, that was in 2013, not 2012. If runners are taking extra bases, they're more likely to score, hence the low DRS totals.

There's a few things here and there that tend to "lag" a game from time to time, but are mostly having to do with specific teams and players. It's by far the exception and not the rule. If they want to save some time, they should start by eliminating the singing of 'God Bless America' and also getting rid of the 7th inning stretch. They may even want to consider getting rid of the national anthem. Save that stuff for the playoffs and holidays. Don't need it sung before every single darn game. The irony of it all is they say they want shorter games while at the same time wanting more offense. More offense means more visits to the mound, more pitching changes, and much longer games. Do they not see the contradiction of what they're trying to do?

Google just being google. I typed 'Trout car accident' and nothing. Then I tried 'Mike Trout car accident' and presto. Sorry for causing any headline scare. Didn't want to freak anyone out. That's why I mentioned seeing him on the news 'talking' with officers in my initial post. My main concern after that was injuries to others. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't also a little scared about alcohol (a beer or two) being involved, with him having a off day today.

I checked the official website and google and nothing came up.

Seen a clip on the news with cameras showing him talking to officers, but no other details.

Soros definitely made a killing. Vampire was buying a lot of gold the last few weeks. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-06-13/soros-buying-gold-brexit-eu-“collapse”-risk

Not as bas as I was thinking. Looks like the mini dump we had at the end of 2014. Will be interesting to see what happens next week. These markets are so rigged that the people who control it are probably making a killing somehow.

Stocks are ready to take a dump in the am. This could be worse than 2008. Buckle up. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-06-23/nailbiter-continues-here-are-first-official-results-and-they-give-bremain-some-hope

Didn't see any thread on the fires so... Just came across some of the videos that has been seen in the news lately. Scary shit for these people. First 3 videos total 9 minutes from the front of the truck. Last 3 videos are the same 9 minutes from the rear of the truck.

Either Trout or Calhoun needs to move to the 4-hole. Anything to get Calhoun behind him. 3. Trout 4. Calhoun 5. Pujols or 3. Pujols 4. Trout 5. Calhoun

An after thought in who's mission planning, Russia's? Are you fk'n kidding me?? Please list me the accomplishments of the US against IS in Syria before Russia started bombing them on Sept 30. I'm sure there's plenty.
