I was being sarcastic, there is no way that Putin is orchestrating all that and there is also no way that the Ukrainians are doing much of it. It is most likely a heavy dose of sabotage, mixed with some incompetence and poor maintenance.

Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

Cops should be able to without cause pull over any customized Japanese sports car with an instagram handle decaled on the side.

Yes it I sat in the oven watching more sloppy baseball. First inning Erod decides not to even attempt to cover first and then Candy bobbles a sure inning ending double play pall and then throws way way wide of first so instead of inning over another two runs come in and all the LA fans are yelling "thanks so much " "free runs" etc... And of course my daughter is melting so we leave after the seventh down 6 - 0 and watching Miggy strike out three times only to have him homer in the 8th...😂 And Grossman's HBP seemed very bad. You could hear it. It seemed like they just didn't really want to play after coming close in the first and second inning. The vibe is bad. At least I can add Dodger stadium to my check list. Hard to believe I have lived out here since 1997 and never got there sooner.

His walks are memorable. Maybe that's because they are so few? 🤣🤣

he's doing great.

Harold Castro can't play 3B. but that doesn't stop Hinch from playing him there.

So I can finish this story today. The check from Westinghouse did arrive, after which I ordered the part. The part arrived today. I paid not the $320 the service firm had quoted on their work estimate, but $150 - for a factory certified new part. It took about 20 min to install the board, test function, and re-assemble the door. No more dead dishwasher! All in all, considering Westinghouse effectively paid me > $200/hr to fix their dishwasher - NOT a peeve.

The 2003 and 2019 Tigers say hello.

I had some chills and soreness, stuffed-up nose for sure, but very little coughing, no headaches, no fever, and smell and taste still intact. My COVID test came up negative, but hey, who believes anything anymore, amirite

The more I think about, the more I don't want Lamar Jackson. He puts up RB numbers. No way that is sustainable. The Ravens are one of the best run teams in the NFL and there is a reason they are not committing to Jackson.

You don't even have to go back to 2003. Look at 2019!

I became a member of the four shot club over the weekend. Other than a sore arm nothing drastic.

I have to give it an A at this point and the reason is simple, the Lions arguably got the best defensive player and best non tackle offensive player in the entire draft. Getting two playmakers like that is worth an A on its own in my book. Fans and the media love to glorify trading down and picking up extra picks and while that can be nice the reality is the vast majority of the time those picks end up producing average starters AT BEST. You can find average starters in FA or even the waiver wire in some cases but what you can't find are true game changers and the Lions potentially got two of them, one on each side of the ball, and if that wasn't good enough they were both a huge position of need. To me that is worth an A regardless of how the rest of the draft turns out.

particularly if bleed off of votes for JD Mandel occurs.

How is Pat Benatar not in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame? For awhile she was the only female solo artist on rock radio and she had massive hits.

Where do you play Clemens? I don’t think he’s an upgrade to either Schoop and Candy, who have replicated their early season slump from last year. I do think they’ll start to hit soon. He might be an upgrade to Cabrera at DH, but that isn’t happening. At try this point, I think Clemens is an injury replacement at 2B or 3B, or trade bait.

Mark and Lee, I'm sorry you got sick. Hopefully the antibodies last a good long time and I'm glad it was "mild" compared to earlier strains. The vaccine works.

If the Lions can win a super bowl that should qualify Holmes for immediate enshrinement intro the executive wing of the Hall of Fame.

sure - first off team winning percentages are not a constant - as a group the guys do go through collective highs and lows together so you may really have a team that for two weeks can't win 2 out of 10, plus of the quality of the opposition is not constant so you will see a lot more variance in streak probability than simple stats would predict. And finally if you have 30 teams, something with a 6% chance of happening should happen to roughly 2 of them. OTOH, I think the longest losing streak the Tigers had in 2006 or '13 was 4. Still, the things will tend to cluster around the predicted math.

Is this better?

Colleague sends: Gerasimov's light wounds are probably just as bad as the Moscva's slight damage.

Tigers scored 5 yesterday, so by law of this season's run avg, this one's pretty much over.

If you want to put any stock into some of the pre draft concerns about Thibs caring more about his "brand" than football and all the similar knocks on him then you can't jump to any conclusions if he comes out of the gates looking better than Hutch like I'm sure many people will. I for one wasn't necessarily scared of those concerns or put much stock into them but if they turn out to be legit concerns you won't find out in the first half of or even full season he plays, you'll see them more down the road after he has had some success and started to make a name for himself in the NFL. So just something to keep in mind before you blast Holmes and Co. for passing on him if he does indeed put up a better start than Hutchinson.

Have you considered a career with NASA?

Semi-related to this, I tried this new hack and despite the additional moving parts, it worked out really well. I typically watch the Tigers broadcast through MLB app on Apple TV so I can implement the audio overlay. I simply cannot bear it hear Shep and rotating cast of grizzled old players for even a single second if I can avoid it. The issue for me is, I also dislike the Tigers video, or more exactly, Bally RSN’s video. They take up a ton of real estate at the bottom with not only the score box, but the 24/7 crawl underneath it, which features a distressingly high percentage of non-baseball and even promotional items. TBF, this is true for a lot of Tiger opponents, too (e.g., Guardians, Twins, Royals, etc.) But now that I’ve discovered how to easily implement the Bluetooth mode on my TV’s soundbar, I’ve figured out an effective way to overlay Tiger audio over the opponent’s video when we play a team with a cleaner screen, like the Dodgers. SNLA shows only a score box in the lower right corner and a logo in the upper right, with a crawl only maybe once an hour for a couple of minutes. The rest of the screen is clear of such obstructions. What I do is, I put the Dodger’s video on the TV, call up Dan Dickerson on my MLB app on my phone, and cast the audio to the soundbar’s BT mode. From that point, it’s only a matter of pausing the one source to let the other catch up to it, and voila: Dickerson and Petry calling the game over a clean opponent’s video. It worked great last night except for the one inning where the video was delayed and not matching up to the audio, and then I had to change it back with the next inning. I assume the Dodgers TV director paused the telecast a few seconds to allow some promotional spot to finish, then made the telecast “live” again for the next inning. But yeah, once I got there, it was like a dream telecast. No more annoying constant live crawls; in fact, no more big chunk of real estate given over to junk at the bottom of the screen leading to a compressed picture above it. It was great. And bonus: there were none of the constant cutaways to the booth or to the stands for any of those distracting interviews the Tigers telecasters like to do, I guess to take the pressure off Shep and Whoever having to pay too close attention to the game, which, I don’t know, maybe hurts their heads or something. The Dodgers TV people don’t go in for that nonsense. Gonna do it again today!

Now the moment when Jameson Williams finds out he is a Lion.

The problem with guys like that is they are so on immediate help and what's needed today and the big picutre isn't seen at all. We saw it last year with us when we didn't take a WR. The same thing happened. All they care about is filling preceived needs today while a team might be thinking two or three seasons down the road.

Niners take a RB from LSU.........Tyrion Davis-Price. I think Nabisco Funyons is still on the board.

You'd make a great meteorologist!

This is a good thread... Read the whole thing..

Probably already posted but first time Im seeing it, not quite as excited as they were for Sewell.

I finally got it this week too. Same symptoms as you described, but the effects didn't last as long as a typical cold or flu. After resting for four days, I felt good enough to run today.

Were we immigrants when we "stormed the open border" into Native American lands? Or illegal aliens?

You're on the right path!

MTG and her ilk never believed in hippy-dippy Gospels Jesus. They believe in ass-kicking Revelations Jesus. For them, it’s all about joy and pleasure for the Jeez-elites blessed with wealth and power, and pain and punishment for the rest of us mopes.
