Those are horrible contracts, I don't ever want to see another one of those with the Tigers.

“please hold” *transfers to season ticket reps

Let's wait and see what MGoBlog says.

I left to run some errands when it was 4-0 because I wasn't gonna waste any more time watching. 😔

New injury incoming.

This might have been a run little road trip to go on as a fan. Puck drop in half an hour.

draymond gets away with everything. its not the bad boys era. how many times does draymond have to try to intentionally injure someone before the league does something? he obviously owns the warriors. the guy decked jordan poole and the warriors did nothing of substance about it except trade jordan poole the first chance they could get.

This exchange actually happened

I think it should be more. He's got previous history, whether the transgressions have been punished or not. Plus he was dragging Gobert backwards via chokehold. He wasn't simply holding him back. He was actually dragging him backwards. Honestly, what does a 5 game suspension do? He'll appeal, it'll get reduced to 3 games, and there will be some other altercation in the not too distant future.

You have to admit, kicking a football through goalposts is one of the weirdest things about football. I kind of agree with Larry David on this. It's sort a of side act that has nothing to do with the game on the field. You have these highly skilled, freak athletes fighting their way toward an end zone against other freak athletes trying to stop them. If they get close enough but can't put it in... then it's like bringing out a chimpanzee - who's not an athlete but is on the team to do one thing: cartwheel through a hoop. If the chimp cartwheels through the hoop successfully, it can decide the game. That's about how much sense it makes

She strikes me as dumb enough and thinks she's smarter than she is to improperly use reflexive pronouns.

Speaking of space... yesterday was the anniversary of Apollo 12's launch. For space junkies it calls back to two famous phrases that's become legend "Try SCE to AUX", and "Steely eyed missle man" This write up explains it: On this day in history, on November 14, 1969, Apollo 12 successfully launched to the Moon. But it wasn’t without a little drama. The weather that day at Cape Canaveral in Florida was overcast with light rain and winds. However, at 11:22 am EST, the spacecraft, carrying astronauts Pete Conrad, Richard Gordon, and Alan Bean, blasted off into the clouds, in a seemingly perfect launch. But thirty-seven seconds into launch, all hell broke loose. "What the hell was that?" asked Gordon. Twenty seconds of confusion ensued, and then another disturbance occurred. "Okay, we just lost the platform gang," reported Conrad, "I don't know what happened here. We had everything in the world drop out." The crew and Mission Control didn't know what had happed, and only later determined the Saturn V rocket had been struck by lighting - twice. Were it not for flight controller John Aaron, the mission might have been aborted. Aaron may be remembered more for being instrumental in helping to save Apollo 13, but the part he played in Apollo 12 was just as crucial. When he saw the unusual telemetry readings from Apollo 12. he remembered a flight simulation that took place about a year earlier. He recalled this simulated anomaly concerned an obscure system called Signal Conditioning Equipment (SCE), and remembered normal reading were restored by putting the SCE on its auxiliary setting, which meant that it would run even under low-voltage conditions. So when he quickly called out the recommendation, "Flight, try SCE to "AUX'", most of his mission control colleagues had no idea what he was talking about. Both the flight director and the CapCom asked him to repeat the recommendation. Conrad was unfamiliar with the control but fortunately Alan Bean was familiar with the location of the SCE switch inside the capsule, and flipped it to auxiliary. Telemetry was immediately restored, allowing the mission to continue. This was just one instance that earned Aaron the compliment of being called a "steely-eyed missile man." the absolute highest of NASA compliments. And even today the phrase "SCE to AUX" used to describe a situation where one narrowly averts a catastrophe by coming up with an ingenious plan. (credit - Universe Today, Nancy Atkinson)

I think Stavenhagen said something along the lines of, of the 25 guys who vote for Tiger of th year, maybe five of them cover the team every day? I can’t remember who Stavenhagen said he voted for, but he seems weirdly sore about the whole thing. I’m not real invested in Tiger of the Year, but it’s not really anything like MVP, is it? I always thought of it as steady player who might or might not be the best player on the team, but who writers think embodies being the most important cog on the team, or perhaps in the clubhouse, for either now or the future. I don’t think of it as being a ratification of the WAR champ. In that way, as a linchpin of the future who posted up 159 times, day in and day out, this year, and who actually improved substantially the second half, Tork is as good a choice as anyone else. I think of TOY as a kind of squishy award, anyway.
