I don't care how good defensively Simmons is, you don't trade an already plus defensive SS (regardless of contract year) that is also your best contact hitter, and then ADD two of your top level prospects on top sprinkled with $3 million for good measure, for a friggin' 9-hole hitter!!
 
One of the worst trades in recent memory for this team.

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.

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

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.

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.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

So you were talking to American pilots who admitted to violating Syrian airspace hundreds of times?

My guess is Assad and Russia will declare a no-fly zone over Syria making anyone flying into their airspace 'fair game' unless they have explicit authorization from Assad or a mandate from the UN.  The US, Saudis, Turks, along with their other allies have been operating inside Syria 'illegally' since Day 1.  They've never had authorization which makes their campaign a clear violation of Syria's sovereignty.  Those days will soon be put to an end when Russia gets their missile defense S-300 & S-400 systems set up inside Syria.

This show, at least this season, is a prime example of propaganda masquerading as entertainment.  They've just about covered every real-world actor in today's wars and geopolitical matters, except for China.  I'm sure they'll figure a way to give them a shout-out or two by season's end.

Nah, they only bomb entire populations and countries.

I don't trust defensive metrics very much.  Trout was -9.0 DRS in each of the 2013 and 2014 seasons.  Do you honestly believe Trout was that bad or NOT a plus defender those years?

The vast majority of lobbyists have previously held government jobs, so yeah, those corporate loopholes will never close.  There's also a good portion of lobbyists that are related (by blood or marriage) to those currently in government.  Like one big happy family.
 
The only thing separating lobbyists from the government is a big revolving door.

Some really neat pictures in the San Fran collection.

Depression era and WW2 era photos from inside America from the years 1935-1945 have been organized and uploaded to an interactive map of the USA.  They're sorted on the map by 'county' and there's about 170,000 photos in all.
 
The darker the shade of green, the more pictures contained.  Enjoy.

This year's offense was actually the worst during Sosh's tenure.  Worst batting average, worst OBP, fewest runs scored, and fewest stolen bases.  The entire team stole only 52 friggin' bases!  That's only 3 more than Trout had in 2012!!  Funny thing is they had 176 home runs.  I'm guessing most of those were solo shots.

Yanukovich was the democratically elected president of Ukraine.  It wasn't until he decided to delay signing a deal with the European Union that all hell broke loose.  The EU demanded he cut off all economic ties with Russia and he knew that would devastate their economy and country.  He said he needed more time to weigh his options and that's when the Soros/NED funded Euromaidan riots started.  These people started wreaking havoc all over Kiev with violence including the use of Molotovs that literally burned several police officers alive.  Then a group of unknown snipers (many have said possibly Blackwater nka Academi mercs) started taking people out on BOTH sides of the riots and that's pretty much when the president was forced to flea for his life into Crimea.  I believe the snipers killed up to a dozen police officers and dozens more of the Euromaidan rioters.
 
The current "president" is another puppet/oligarch for the US that only cares about money, and the people living in Donbass have refused to recognize him as the legitimate president.  When Poroshenko took power, his first order of business was to strip all ethnic Russians living in Donbass of their rights, including speaking the Russian language.  That's when the people decided to declare their own independence via referendum and created their own Republics in Donbass.  That's when Poroshenko decided to begin attacking and bombing them unprovoked.
