@GreenPlusAnE JFC, it is not Boomers. It is Republicans. Clinton balanced the budget. Obama and Biden lowered the deficit. To his credit, so did Bush 1. Reagan, Bush 2, and Trump exploded the deficit and debt.

@mattlindner Just looking for clicks and attention. Nothing more

[John Murphy @MurphyOA]

@BCB_Sara @Michael_Cerami Or Kingery/Lopez should not be on the team, Dylan Carlson should be on the team to back up all 3 outfield spots and Shaw then rotates in at 2nd, 3rd, and DH. There is a competent backup outfielder at AAA.

[John Murphy @MurphyOA]

@BleacherNation Cubs have been awesome so it’s churlish to complain. But if they’d kept Carlson rather than Kingery, Shaw could back up the infield and Carlson the outfield. I don’t understand Kingery.

This is where all of the bullpen injuries make me nervous. How do they get 9 outs? Hope they keep scoring. #cubs

[John Murphy @MurphyOA]

@SamOlbur Hired the wrong guy off the Milwaukee staff.

[John Murphy @MurphyOA]

@BleacherNation If they had any faith in Carlson, he would seem a better choice for DH? Or right with Shaw as DH? Do they just not want to play him ever?

@TommyBirch What is going on there?

[John Murphy @MurphyOA]

@isaiahrmartin Republicans helped to dismantle themselves, I think

[John Murphy @MurphyOA]

@Brett_A_Taylor Then we had different experiences. I coached speech and debate and we were listed as Miami of Ohio everywhere. Oh well, different activities and times, I suppose

[John Murphy @MurphyOA]

@DEvanAltman This isn’t exactly the Dodger’s A lineup, either.

[John Murphy @MurphyOA]

@Brett_A_Taylor He’s been awful. Maybe an extended spring training stint? With an “injury”? Because Rea or Assad would be preferable

Some thoughts on Trump's rhetorical failure to justify this war and the continuing relevance of presidential rhetoric

@JerusalemDemsas This is normal. JFK became so popular that many Americans forgot they voted for Nixon in 1960.

@JWerner247 Replay says High Knees was wrong

[John Murphy @MurphyOA]

@mattlindner It’s like the triple jump in the Summer. One jump isn’t enough? We need to skip and hop, too?

@JTaillon50 Go get 'em!
