Anticipation

Was it me, or was the Gorsuch announcement...well, something.  Trump made a good speech (for him), short, disciplined, some trolling of liberals, the paean to Scalia...to say nothing of a solid pick.  I was watching this, and I was like...why can't we have this EVERY day?  Oi.  I think he gets confirmed, but barely...I am not sure the Dems want to risk the filibuster here, and, well, neither should we.

I think this is largely correct; I mean, no Republican is going to complain if you sock the blue enclaves on the coast, and if people in the Trump-leaning states benefit...well, so be it.  Much like the refugee ban, which seems to have the support of the majority of Americans...

This could be me, but if Trump is so dumb and undisciplined, yet if he manages to get the Mexicans into repealing NAFTA for us...

I was a little amused by mlb.com, looking for the 2017 version of the Tribe, a "surprise" team...I don't know, maybe we were surprised, given that the Tigers had won it the last few years, but I do seem to recall plenty of people thinking we had the pitching to do it..;I think the surprise was that we won with the black hole of catching and without Brantley; Naquin and Davis managed to fill in (especially after Byrd went away) and then Ramirez became Mr. Double...not sure anyone really predicted, or expected, any of that...
