Newness

Pub Quiz was last night...fifth.  ugh...we only missed placing (or even second) by three points, which we bled all night long, and blew the missing link.  Ugh.  Alas.

I think this makes a lot of sense, but 1) Who thinks about tomorrow; 2) Hope and Changers really don't care about debt and/or reducing regulation (fewer government employees, perish the thought) so hence we are stuck...

I think the argument cuts both ways; I mean, if you get enough of the minority vote, or the women's vote...well, it doesn't matter; but it you piss off enough white men (and married white women), well, as they are a large constituency in most states...then Hillary doesn't have enough votes anywhere else.  I suspect that is the Trump calculation -- win the white whale of votes in the Midwest -- and you can lose CO or AZ.  Not saying it will work, but in an odd way, the GOP is...trying.

I see Terry is back to the parade of relievers as the rotation looks...less strong right now.  To be sure, Carrasco was coming back from the DL, so I expected some rust (and he didn't look that bad at times) but the starters have been inconsistent, which is no way to compete, especially with the offense and its...scuffles.
