unless you got excited for the "another one bites the dust" lions starting 4-0, youre a pup to me. lol.

That will be his obp, too.

The Guardians movies have awesome soundtracks. It directly ties in with the Peter Quill character. He was abducted from earth as a child in the mid 80a and he had his Walkman with him along with awesome mix tapes that his mom gave him. His whole frame of reference is culture at that time. He always talked about how awesome Kevin Bacon was because of footloose. So for Christmas his alien friends abduct Bacon as a present thinking it will cheer him up. Hilarity ensues. It’s a cute 45 minutes.

"Heterodox" made me uncomfortable.

I think what distinguishes him is his age, pitch recognition, quick ascent and strong performance in the AFL. The only thing he has in common with Demeritte is the team we acquired him from. Looking forward to see what he can do in a full season at AAA in Toledo.

Same old Three Lions. Out due to a bad penalty. Darn, I really thought England was going to do it this year. They had the team.

“Raises hand”. 🙂 And every booster. 🙂 And when it’s coupled with the flu vaccine next year, I’ll continue to do that. 🙂 And I thank God for our scientific community.🎉🙏🏻 And, when a store is crowded, or I’ll be in it for more than 5 minutes, I grab my mask and put it on. 😷

That damn Hillary is at it again.

You are pup in this Lions shit story. I envy you. I’ve got 20 more years of Lions crap built up. I truly hope that we’ve broken through and have at least 1 Super Bowl trip before you are pushing 50. If not, I promise that you will come to embrace SOL and even stupid curses much more than you do now.

If "returning the shove" means maligning Whelan's background, which is as irrelevant to the discussion as Griner's, count me out. Ymmv, I guess.

Profound and true. The easiest way into the wallet of the average person is via their patriotism or their religious feeling.

🤣

there is very little reason to take any public display of patriotism seriously as 9 times of 10 it's just another grift.

This. No guarantees Smoltz would develop the same way he did in Atlanta. Those last two months of ‘87, especially the last weekend where we caught the stinking’ Jays, are my best ballpark memories outside of 1984.

I have always maintained that there is nothing Smoltz could have done for the Tigers that would have matched the memories he provided in the 1987 title run. Over the next couple of decades they would have lost even if they had him. I'm also not at all certain he would have developed with the Tigers like he did with the Braves.

I think of the Smoltz/Alexander trade. Did the Tigers, or even Atlanta, think or have any thought that he would be a HOFer? No way. You can't predict that. But I still think that's a trade you make if you are the Tigers.

Worth pointing out that even if Joe does well that's no bearing to me on Harris or his staff. The goal isn't to "win" trades as a comparison but to make your team better, however you want to measure that.

I ran across this article from shortly after Rathbun was let go. It's only one side of the discussion, but it seems that they were kept out of the loop. https://scholar.lib.vt.edu/VA-news/VA-Pilot/issues/1995/vp950314/03140415.htm

Could you imagine if there was social media when Ernie got fired? Still the most senseless PR move in Detroit history.
