  1. Past hour
  2. The water need to seek him out and envelop him in its love.
  3. I hope you mean the primary. If the general is close in MI the Dems have no chance of taking the Senate.
  4. He was the favorite. The issue isn’t him becoming the nominee. California is a jungle primary. There is no Democratic and republican primary. The top two regardless of party advance. There are only two republicans running. There are a cluster**** of Dems. It’s a real possibility the top two are Republicans. Swalwell still being on the ballot means he takes votes away from other Dems.
  5. Any rational thinking human knows the Trump administration is the most corrupt in the history of the US. By far. Corruption and cruelty are the main reasons Trump wanted to be POTUS. Deporting violent criminals? Democrats are also for that. Deporting grandmothers and other innocent people? Only MAGA is OK with that.
  6. I don't think this will be a big issue since Swalwell didn't have prior state wide recognition. He's only a household name in one district.
  7. More accurate;
  8. PS: How desperate is Vancouver? Rasmussen, Compher, and Albert Johansson to the Canucks for a future 2nd round pick. Get 'er done Stevie !!!
  9. So basically you don't want to believe it so you're not going to. That's what stupid cult members do, are you saying you're just like them?
  10. I want Stevie to quit signing mediocre veterans and to instead throw all of our GR prospects into the fire. There's a new wave of kids just now getting to GR... THEY can get some AHL experience. I DO want Stevie to go out and sign one free agent, but just one: Whichever biggest, baddest, fastest top line scoring power forward he can find. And the dude may not hit on all those cylinders. In my mind, that's Alex Tuch. Are there any alternative/ better ideas? That creates a top line of Raymond-Larkin-Tuch. Yeah, I'm good with that. Signing Tuch may cost us signing back Kane... I'm OK with that, Cat-Copp & either Finnie or Mazur works for me. The 3rd line I want Kasper-Danielson-MBN. For the entire year. let them grow together. make mistakes... etc. Just a WAG, they'll be significantly better the second half of the season than the first half. Also, they can start in the defensive zone but still push for offense... whereas I want our 2nd line of Cat-Copp-Mazur/Finnie to mostly be starting in the offensive zone. Maybe this 3rd line even pushes past Cat-Copp-Mazur to become the 2nd line? I'm not making any predictions... It's time to move on from JVR, Perron, Talbot, Compher (dump him to a center-needy team and MAYBE he won't cost us a draft pick to trade him...). If Compher does cost a pick to trade, then just dump his contract and stretch him out. The Wings will just have to learn to play without him on their roster... IMO. But I think the team should ALSO move on from: Rasmussen. Unless they can get him to start hitting again (he hasn't been the same since getting back from injury last year...). But if they don't believe he will get back to what they need, move him. Also: Albert Johansson. Decent defenseman, modicum of talent... But I'm going cheap and trading AlJo. I am also bringing up both Wallinder and Buium. Wallinder may be nothing more than a 7th D'man. Fine. He's still cheap as a 7th D. And on back-to-backs the team can sit Chiarot so he has legs by the end of the season. 2nd pair is Buium-Faulk. I mean, he has to earn it... but I'm putting it on his shoulders to do so. What better way to break in a fast mobile defenseman than pairing him with Justin Faulk? And Chiarot can go where he belongs... to 3rd pair. Matched up with ASP (for offense) or JBD (for defensive purposes). Whoever is on the bench, Wallinder and JBD...? I am perfectly fine with having them come into games to cover an injury or a back-to-back day off (I think both Chiarot and Faulk should get several games off during the season to save their legs... IMO). Cossa is up the entire year as Goalie 1A to Gibson. Maybe he shows only as a weak #2... ok, whatever. It was ridiculous burning Gibson out in March having Talbot starting ONE ****ING GAME the ENTIRE ****ING MONTH (sorry, sorry, excuse the language... but man am I F'ing PISSED at that kind of bull****...! That STEVE Y PUT this team into that situation by riding a SPENT Talbot and REFUSING to bring up Cossa... I am ****ING BURNT over that...!) If Cossa is so damn good he takes over 1A... awesome. If he's only a 1B in 2026-27... fine. Nothing but a #2, I'll take it. But riding a mediocre aged-out #2 goalie and BURNING OUT Gibson...? If he tries that again in 2026-27 I will just ****ing explode. Lastly... I want to find 3 players for the 4th line who are BANGERS, BEARS to play against. Maybe they have some offensive talent, that's lees important to me than being tough-to-play-against even against other teams' 1st lines. Is Appleton a part of that? Maybe. Is Rasmussen, maybe, maybe not... and probably much more like: near-zero chance. I think we can find inexpensive players who are flawed maybe (offensively) but are tough as nails to play against in our defensive zone. I don't have the answers for this. I don't have names... And obviously: it's better if this line can convert heavy defensive pressure into SOME kind of offense... and play outstanding PK... But I don't yet have the recipe for this line. Just my 2 cents.
  11. Today
  12. i've been thinking about this thread and there are so many games i could list. i'll just offer a few that stand out to me. first, ones i was fortunate to attend June 1994 -- Lou's grand slam to win the game September 2003 -- Tigers avoid infamy by beating the twins October 2006 -- first playoff game at Comerica Park October 2006 -- Magglio's homer game October 2012 -- Miggy K's to end the world series September 2014 -- Tigers clinch the central i have a practice of going to the last home game of the year whenever possible. i've seen some cool stuff. the Tigers clinch, other teams clinch, the Tigers dither away a division on tv, game 163 from 2009, game 5 of the 2011 division series, and game 5 of the seattle series last year stand out to me.
  13. I don't think I like this guy's opinion;
  14. This is not a fact, simple or otherwise. It is your opinion, even if you attempt to portray it as fact.
  15. IIRC there were those in the 90s who argued that global warming was good for the economy. Hmm, now I'll have to look. I remember corporate apologist Jacoby wrote about this (was with The Boston Globe at the time), but I'm guessing he got the idea from somebody else.
  16. Agreed, the later rounds are rough. I love the first couple round where there are multiple games on every night and I'm glued to my tv.
  17. If I had more confidence in the Wings' drafting and development, I'd urge them to insert as many prospects into the big club next season and then ask for a bit more patience. But unfortunately, I'm not. Therefore, since I don't have much confidence in their drafting and development, if I had more confidence in their pro scouting I'd urge the Wings to trade as many prospects as possible while they still have perceived value, in exchange for some contributing NHLers. Unfortunately, I don't have confidence in their pro scouting.
  18. rasmussen has been total **** for 2 years.
  19. The most memorable game I have ever been to is the Magglio walkoff in 2006, and a close second is the Saturday 12-inning walkoff the second to the last day of 1987. Some of the other memorable games I've been to include: Shohei pitching a one-hitter in the first game of a doubleheader in 2023 Henderson Alvarez no-hitter in Miami in 2013 The ALDS clincher against the Yankees in 2006, in which A-Rod batted eighth! Tigers' first-ever regular season game in Wrigley in 2000. (We lost 😢) The second-to-last game ever in Tiger Stadium in 1999 Bobby Higginson three-homer game in 1997 Tram and Lou's last game together in Baltimore 1995 Ken Griffey Sr and Ken Griffey Jr playing in the same game 1990 Cecil Fielder's roof shot in 1990 Kirk Gibson's roof shot in 1983 George Brett's three-homer game in 1983 Hank Aaron's only Tiger Stadium home run in 1975 My first-ever game in 1972 against the Texas Rangers, a game in which Ted Williams had a duty to perform
  20. One of the more giant of the giant assholes.
  21. Which means Putin was funding CPAC.
  22. By the way, Wednesday’s afternoon “getaway“ game against the Royals is on Peacock, which now has the right to what used to be the mlb.tv “free game of the day.“ So it’s no longer a “free game” if you subscribe to mlb.tv. About 90 minutes after the game ends you can watch it on mlb.tv. I don’t know how this affects Detroit Sportsnet users, though. EDIT. A quick Google search tells me that Detroit sports net users will not be able to access this game. In fact, there are 16 games that you will no longer have access to at least live. National Exclusivity: At least 16 Tigers games in 2026 are slated for national-only broadcasts through MLB partners like Peacock, NBC, Fox, and TBS. I don’t know how true all this is because the Internet lies a lot now because it’s run by stupid robots that are programmed by oligarchs who no longer have to care because they have absolute power.
  23. Minnesota will finish closer to the bottom in the AL than the top.
