Bad indeed. This brings up a dilemma.
In 2023 and 2024, the Red Sox were 2nd in the league in errors. In 2025, the Sox have more errors than any team.
To keep changing players (like Kike vs Story at SS), but get the same basic result (lots or errors) implies that, perhaps, it isn't the players?

Good to ponder. For a team that spent/traded their way to adding: Bregman, Crochet, Buehler, Chapman, and also 'added' via recovery from injury: Story and Giolito... to not have a better record than this time a year ago... well, yeah, seems something needs to change.

"If Labour weren't such total cowards"... so why are they doing so? What is the reason to cave in? They WON the election by being not-Tory and not-Reform, yet here we are not even 1 year in and Starmer is turning Labour into the thing people voted against.

This is awful. Things are clearly 'spreading'

I did not realise how much of the impacts were known/predicted in advance. Science!

I have not yet figured out why 'placating the right' and "fawning the rich and powerful' is the choice most often made. Starmer made it, Biden in the USA made it. Why not stand up for the LEFT? Why not go AGAINST the right? Why not stand up for the many non-rich (the voters)?

My thought is/was: if the Sox call up Anthony, then someone else needs to play less. Given an outfield of Anthony/Duran/Abreu, I guess, Rafaela would become a super utility player, giving all OF a break as well as SS/2B?

Agreed, he has capabilities that the Runsey did not.

Interesting notion. Follow on: if they do go this direction... what becomes of Ceddanne Rafaela? I recall they gave him a rather lengthy contract extension. Rusney Castillo 2.0?

Thinking a little bit: it seems Criswell might be a better starter than a long reliever. His MLB splits seem to indicate so. Thoughts?

"why someone on both sides of the aisle aren't saying something loud and forceful about it??" - who would that be? I cannot think of anyone, other than perhaps AOC and Bernie Sanders, who is against the present path.

I remember coming back from a friends house in late March, and hearing on the radio that St. Helens had erupted. That's 45 years ago... and yet as vidid a memory as ever :)

I am taking in your posts. I was 9 years old in 1980, and lived in Chehalis, Washington, and so remember these events from my childhood. All the things leading up to the eruptions of May 1980...

Correct: they are doing what their bosses (mostly wealthy, mostly oligarchs) wish.

Impeachable... but he will NEVER be convicted by the Senate. He will ALWAYS have 34 or more GOP senators that will prevent it.

I noticed that the final run was 18Z on 27 February. At first, I thought that the mass firings somehow messed with the GRIB file outputs being available, but then realised that the shutdown of 'coolwx' was intentional.

"He was unaware of the potential cuts to NOAA/NWS."
Really? Is it not his job to be aware?

Amazing to see from Erie, CO, where we got maybe 1-inch. What a gradient with this event!

A warning: this is how things started in the US, and now, widespread de-funding of higher education, and Government/Mush insistence that the conservative point of view is the only correct point of view has begun. I hope the UK can 'nip this in the bud'.

As he is presently in the White House, isn't HE working from home (assuming he lives in the White House, as presidents often do)

I agree totally! My only question (as an old person) is: does your generation WANT to save it. As in: this all was NOT your fault, so you are not really obliged to save us old folks from ourselves...
