Updates on Rogers and Turnbull: … Starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull, recovering from Tommy John surgery, is throwing off the mound in Lakeland. “That’s a great step,” Hinch said. “It’s still a long road back but getting off the mound for the first time has to be a positive for him mentally. Just to be back being a pitcher again.” … Catcher Jake Rogers, also coming off Tommy John surgery, is getting closer to a rehab assignment. Hinch said he’s ready to do just about everything on the field, but he has to get his arm built up more before they start the 20-day rehab assignment clock. “We can’t get him live at-bats until he can do everything because that starts the clock,” Hinch said. “Once he starts playing (games), he’s got 20 days to where we either have to option him or bring him to the big leagues. We’re going to make sure he can be a complete player before he's back."

Fixed it.

I assume that's because they use the metric system up there.

Gazelle Cabrera!!

Thread cleanser:

It was a very good day for the Yzerplan. Chiarot deal wasn’t great but the player will help and is a big upgrade. Copp & Perron are huge adds. Kubalik and Maatta are good depth players and shouldn’t hurt. The defense is still really bad. I don’t think it would be a bad idea to shop Bert and see what other teams think of him. See if anyone is willing to give back a legit top 4 dman. Keep him if nobody steps up.

Solid hyper link work there

stevie obviously wasnt happy with the players he inherited from kenny! they went out and got a lot bigger and tougher and more defensive. say what you want about chiarot, but he's big and tough. perron too. maata is just a stop gap stay at home 3rd pairing guy. remains to be seen if kubalik can score away from chicago. copp is a solid defensive #2 center. chiarot is overpaid and the deal is too long but yzerman must have felt the team really needed some veteran toughness. no more having larkin having to fight or rasmussen having to look big and fall down. they must be tired of being pushed around. so who gets pushed out? where is the place for zadina now? bert - larkin - raymond perron - copp - vrana kubalik - suter - zadina or bergren? or ras?

I like Hinch, but they have way too many sloppy innings and lifeless games, and that's on him

A tournament league? Adam Silver is on line one and would like to speak to you.

Live look-in at the University of Michigan Board of Regents:

Perron signs for 2 years.

Isn't the bigger problem that you can't get hardly any Republicans to codify?

Watson has 99 K’sin 231 AB’s. I like Pacheco better at this point.

Great move!

Seeing how Miggy scored the fifth run of the game is somehow way more shocking to see on the Gameday app than watching live lol

That's a good game, lots of excitement

This makes me laugh and cry. Which emoji do I use for that?

CABRERA STEALS THIRD!! SCORES ON THE THROWING ERROR.

Welcome back Baddoo!

Just as an aside, Happy Disco Demolition Day

Any Lions fan who was alive in the 80s

I don't think Cliff will raise much fuss, though there could be an interesting bit of dialogue which occurs between him and Jimmy. To everyone on the attorney/outward side of Jimmy and Kim's life, it appears that Howard is in a downward spiral. He sums it up himself in his speech to Jimmy and Kim - his marriage is a mess, he appears to have a worsening addiction to cocaine, he just suffered a massive public embarrassment... Sad to say, but I think they will take it logically, even though it's nowhere near where he actually was mentally. I think we could have a scene at a vigil, or a funeral, or a search party, where we see Jimmy and Kim have to face the raw emotion of the situation they created, of which they can't tell anyone the truth of what happened.

MY OBITUARY FROM WEDNESDAY -- Diego was a Rescue dog. He rescued me on 9/11/07 and every day since. The last 3 days were absolutely brutal, and today was torture waiting for 5:30 to come. The vet was right on time. I wouldn't trade a thing, I got over 5,400 great days and only a handful of bad ones (he had a 3 day ban from the inside the house due to catching a skunk in 2008). He loved everyone. He hated fireworks (not scared, but angry). He hated the lawn mower (but only when I cut the grass, when (my tenant) Paulie would cut it he didn't care). Most of the people in my neighborhood knew his name, but not mine. He was an amazing ballplayer. He could catch tennis balls better than any dog I ever knew. In his younger days he could almost fly. Watching him jump over the back porch partition to go catch a ball was breathtaking. He loved playing goalie (foam balls, not shot hard). When we went for walks he did that border collie stalking thing where he got very low to the ground and walked very slowly towards his target (the dreaded evil being know as SQUIRREL). I loved watching him do that, that focus and concentration and intensity. He never caught one, thank goodness. The night I took him home - at some point he jumped into the bed with me. When I woke up and let one go (you know what I mean) - a loud one - it startled him so much he fell out of the bed (mattress & box springs on the floor, no harm). That was the first time he made me laugh. When I was at work during the day, he'd jump up in the bay window and lay there and watch the world, it was his version of TV. That's how the neighborhood got to know him. He was good friends with the mailman. His favorite words were SURPRISE LUNCH and WALK. and his least favorite words were SQUIRREL, RABBIT and HAIRCUT. I haven't traveled much in recent years so we rarely spent a night apart and he usually slept on the floor. In the morning when I would ask What Time Is It? it was his cue to lick my face until I got up. I have never had a dog who was so good about not doing his business in the house, even on his last day, when he could hardly walk, he held it for nearly two days and walked down his hill and did his business. He was so good about it that even when he passed he did not release any fluids (most dogs do). He loved fruit too, especially watermelon and cantaloupe. We had our own handshake sequence....."Give me five.......Other side.........Now up high." He loved to learn. He was my best friend, and not in the general sense of Man's Best Friend............He was literally my best friend. In his honor I will give another dog a great life in this house, which is not a home without a dog. Thanks for listening. This makes me feel better. ------TODAY, 6:40 PM ------ 2 days later still dealing with his ghost. Because whenever I get up from the back room where I mostly hang out I keep going to his room (yes, he had his own room) or the living room to check on him. When I grab a piece of flat bread to snack on I tear a couple small pieces off out of habit. When I cut up some fruit to eat I still put a few small pieces aside for him. It takes a minute to realize he's gone. This has hit me harder than my father's death did. I don't know why. Maybe because I had to schedule it and that just tears me up. Today I went back to work at the hospital (office) and I really needed to. A lot of busy work, new inventory to unpack, kits to put together, it was the kind of work that was good for me but I had to stop a couple times to compose myself, just odd little things come up and remind me. My bosses have been incredibly patient and supportive (women make better bosses in general). Today was the first time I came home from work to an empty house in almost 15 years. I know I'll start feeling better and when that next dog (or dogs) comes home I won't take a second for granted. I know, I'm going on and on about this but my girlfriend does not live with me so it's just me here.........at least for now, but not for long. I don't know how someone who loses a child can function after that, if a dog can do this to me.

If the last 6 years have taught me anything, it's not to dance on the political graves of loons until they have lost.

My only question is how is Hillary defeating Bernie Sanders by 3 million votes not allowing him to win? Seems like allowing the loser to win the election is how we got to the point of not having a functioning democracy.
