    Well, might be apples and oranges, bro. The parking lot revenue is better than most have as ATMs to draw from.
    Unfortunately, slimy people like him are very often the ones who are financially successful.
    It reminds of people who rise to the ranks within corporate structure are often sociopaths.

    • Dave Roberts reveals he will join Dodgers for White House visit with President Trump
    oh, you’ll join the team
    what a relief (sarcasm)
    for a guy who relies on using “we” and “us” to try to insulate himself from criticism, he can sure flip/flop to solo when needed/desired
    must be that big pay raise/job security
    or i could have just been andrew et al telling him to shut his dei woke ass and go

    Mookie Betts, who did not go to the White House during the Red Sox’s 2019 visit in Trump’s first term, said he is undecided if he will go this time. Said he will talk it over with his family.

    Remember when Seager went dairy free? This is the type of season I'm expecting from Mookie at this point.

    What a scumbag. I certaintly am surprised at his self absobed political aspect comes front and center, and is more important than the team, inevitably. If he left tomorrow, so be it.
    I will never feel the same about him again...if this is accurate.
    You just never know about these entitled motherfuckers, no matter what you previously felt about them.
    Fuck this bald disease bag...

    As a leader in the clubhouse, Mookie should grow up and go to the WH with his team. That said, I am glad the Dodgers left it up to each individual player as to whether they want to attend. Rejecting the invite as an organization would've been a terrible thing to do (having already visited Biden, they would've implicitly been taking sides). The team is made up mostly of non-college educated white men and latinos - no matter what you think of Orange Man, the majority of the players likely voted for him (and were mature enough to visit Biden). It would not be fair to deprive them of the opportunity to meet Trump just because the failing LA Times wants them to.

    I'll actually give credit to Roberts for saying he's going out of respect for the office. And all players should see it that way. If I had been invited to go for some reason during Biden's administration, as much as I hated the man, I would've gone for the office.

    Not in reference specifically to Mookie, but in general, the phrase "not my President" which has become so overused is bullshit. We live in a democracy. Our President is chosen by a majority of the voters - at least in theory. The person in the oval office was put there because most of the people who voted wanted him there. Therefore, like him or not, he is your President.

    this exactly

    side story…
    since the 1920’s every us ryder cup (golf) team has been invited to the white house
    one year the players started bitching about it because they didn’t like (then) president bush sr, and began telling reporters they might not attend
    the news eventually got back to team captain tom watson, a staunch republican
    watson, known for his curtness, called a team meeting
    he told the team that they could either go to the white house or go “the fuck” home
    when no one challenged him, he stormed out of the room and said “you’re americans, start acting like it!”

    this is what Grok had to say on the subject haha

    The United States is a democratic republic. It’s a system where the people elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf, rather than directly voting on every issue like in a pure democracy. The Constitution sets up a framework with checks and balances—Congress, the President, and the Supreme Court all keep each other in line. Elections happen regularly, and citizens over 18 can vote, though turnout varies wildly (like 66% in 2020, but way less in midterms).

    Dodgers acquire pitcher Noah Davis from Red Sox for cash
    Associated Press — 3:51 PM ET

    LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Dodgersacquired pitcher Noah Davis from the Boston Red Sox for cash considerations on Thursday.

    To make room on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers transferred pitcher Emmet Sheehan to the 60-day injured list.

    Davis, a 27-year-old right-hander, will head to Triple-A Oklahoma City. He made nine appearances for the Rockies last season, allowing 13 runs in 20⅓ innings with 15 strikeouts.

    He pitched in four Grapefruit League games this spring with Boston, striking out nine in 9⅓ innings while posting a 0.86 WHIP and .206 batting average against.

    He has been in the major leagues for parts of three seasons with Colorado, going 0-4 with a 7.71 ERA in 18 games. The Southern California native was originally drafted by Cincinnati in 2018 out of the University of California, Santa Barbara.

    Nightfail is slipping. He forgot to mention that the Dodgers are racists because no black players are on the IL.
