It wasn't Oz, this happened in PA, not NJ.

the current GOP: smart people acting dumb; dumb people acting smart

stop stop he's already dead!

Somebody doing that 5 minutes before you got there just made you wait longer. In some states that's illegal. You can't impede traffic just because you feel like it. The lane is open until it's closed. Everyone is just too damn impatient and inconsiderate. The same people who do that probably don't obey school drop off procedures, they just stop on the main road and let their kids run out into traffic. Rules are for everybody else to follow. Saps. "Oh no, that person might get in front of me! The horror! No! Can't happen". It's not "cutting" It's "taking turns" Like we were taught in 2nd grade but many people forgot.

Anthony Davis plays as himself in 2K and gets injured in the video game . . .

Once they started handing out participation trophies I would guess.

This team’s complete inability to stay even remotely healthy is stupefying.

Every home run that lands in the bullpen, Smith and McHale didn't want those to be home runs.

Hardees are the red neck version of the British Public House.

I lived in Hazel Park for a couple years 2019-21, not far from the Hardee’s there. Had it one time when I first moved there, and had zero reason to ever go back.

LOL - absolutely correct, but I'm too lazy to do that today!

A better measure of the *direct* impact of the park configurations on HRs would be to compare visiting players HR/FB rate at CoPa vs elsewhere. The *indirect* "park effect" that I am talking about is: - the way they are building the roster - the way they are coaching players and - the way players are approaching hitting with the new deadened ball. Comparing Tiger HRs home/road only tells one part of the story.

As of a few days ago when I looked Aaron Judge would have 50+ HRs in every park in baseball with most being in the mid 50s to even 60s but would only have 43 in Comerica. This according to expected hr total via statcast on baseball savant. That's the most prodigious power hitter in the game that hits the ball further than anybody yet he'd have nearly 20% less HRs at Copa than if he did any place else in baseball. That tells me that it's not just our players but the fact that the park does have too extreme deep parts to it.

Their sausage and gravy biscuits are great laxatives

The bottleneck is caused by everyone getting over too early.

except that this is not true. The field may be big, but overall through its history it has played average for HRs, has ever since they moved LF. The reason the park HAS to be big is because they rotated it (wrt Tiger stadium) such that the prevailing summer west wind blows OUT. Tiger Stadium rotated around to where COPA would be a complete joke. They've did just fine getting to two WS in the 1st 10 yrs playing in COPA in the current configuration, which was a higher incidence rate of getting there than they ever had at Tiger Stadium. Guys hit the ball over the CF often enough. Granted the corners were the CF wall meets the R and L field wall are a bit much but that is a tiny proportion of the whole field. Parks factors look bad for the last couple of years but they always follow the home team performance (even though they shouldn't -if you watch them over time they always do....) because the team is crappy. Tigers have hit 47 HR on the road, 42 at home, while scoring 28 more runs at home than on the road. The ball park is not the problem, the roster is.

I'm not speeding. And I would appreciate it if you wouldn't lay on the horn the next time I pass you. 😉

Funnier still when you realize that Isabella Rossolini is the daughter of Casablanca star Ingrid Bergman.

This seems way too optimistic

One time WRIF played The Wanton Song and the DJ pronounced it that way.

He’s had a few highlights out there this season.

BTW.....IMO this is what grace looks like

shes a Republican.

Clinton sure did take a long time to whack Ken Starr.

An exciting day in Hell. Satan got himself a real scumbag.

So, I’ll tell you why I am resurrecting this today … After watching the Tigers get shut out at Comerica last night and still managing a good night’s sleep at the Greenfield, I was on my way back to Broad Shoulders this morning. On 94, just west of AA, I’m driving among a fast-moving bunch of cars when I see a “left lane closed ahead one mile” sign, and most people start moving over right away. You know I’m a late merger, so as soon as the guy ahead of me moved over, there was a lot of daylight for maybe half a mile up to where we couldn’t see any more road because it was the top of a low grade hill. Know what I mean? Point is, we drivers could not see the closure yet—presumably it was beyond the low grade hill we were approaching. But since there was daylight in my lane, I planned on driving ahead to where the closure is and merging in there. Just as I was starting out, a guy a few cars ahead of me started edging back into my lane. I thought maybe he was going to late merge with me, so I hung back to let him get ahead of me and lead me there. But instead, he started driving half in his lane and half in mine. I understood what he was trying to do here. There was still plenty enough daylight to his left so I could still pass him, and as I did, he laid on his horn, and when I could see him in the rear view, he was gesticulating and yelling in my direction. Corporal Lapdog was definitely unhappy with me. Here’s the best part: once we got to the top of the low grade hill and could see the rest of the road, turns out there was no lane closure after all. Maybe it was an old one where they hadn’t taken down the “lane close ahead” sign. Or maybe they were going to close it soon. All I know is, the left lane wasn’t closed for us. So all these people early-merged and slowed everything down for what they thought was a closed lane a mile away that no one could see, but that wasn’t even there. Early merging culture sucks.

We had a cat like that who absolutely loved to be rubbed by feet.

We can never have nice things. FFF
