Regardless of your thoughts on the Gaza conflict, the case of Khalil should be chilling to all of us. It’s someone that has committed no crime, in this country legally, that is being detained due to having an opinion that differs from the administrations.

Eggs are but one item in the store and there is a specific variable that's driving the pricing wonky. I can look past that. But the promises of expedited lowered prices across the store is null and void.

John McHale and Randy Smith were highly qualified. After all, their dads were famous baseball executives. Smith was quoted as saying the park was designed for a team to play more of a "National League style", lots of bunting and triples and stuff. Makes sense, in a city whose teams had been defined by power hitting for decades. Randy Smith tucks his shirt into his underpants.

Another home run. Definitely should’ve gone the juice box route.

Dave Dombrowski was my speed. I think Scott Harris might be the superior GM if we can keep him though.

My wife spent some time dealing with the Tigers front office during the end of his time there. (She managed the radio broadcast network, that was a small part of her job). Let's just say he was an interesting person

He was a bow-tie wearer, was he not. That's a choice. You can either be a novelist of antebellum romance or a male stripper if you affect that look.

I gave up on Tork and Mize. I'd consider either of them turning it around to be a huge bonus, let alone both of them.

btw, have the red wings found a legit 2C in kasper?

When i see someone use the word woke I assume it’s a replacement for the N word in their hearts.

John Feinstein, the man who wrote the book has passed. He was 69. Too young https://golfweek.usatoday.com/story/sports/golf/pga/2025/03/13/john-feinstein-dead-68-wrote-numerous-golf-books/82372340007/

This probably shows my age: "Unless we each conform, unless we obey orders, unless we follow our leaders blindly, there is no possible way we can remain free." -Major Frank Burns

I was about to say that Randy Smith was unsuited for any occupation but then I thought: no...macarena instructor.

Randy Smith couldn't sell girl scout cookies if they were laced with heroin to an narcanon meeting.

My early years were outside Pittsburgh. I remember the polution.

I read an article about Canadians having "Trump anxiety". It is weird to be attacked. We've always been the likeable buddy who jumps in when friend gets attacked but otherwise get along with everyone.

Just saw a headline today the Yankees are looking for a right hand bat HAHA He seems like he might have a chip on his shoulder. Possible grittiness.

Indubitably.

Barring injury to somebody he wouldn't play everyday but I think with Keith still taking reps at 2nd you could find enough ABs for Tork between 1st and DH. Basically any one of Torres, Keith or Carp off day and Tork could get in the lineup.

This kind of hits at the fatal flaw in their thinking... They have assumed that their threats (and actions) will ratchet up pressure on Canadian and European governments and will automatically bring them to heel. Instead, they are basically causing rally around their flag effects elsewhere while, at home, our population is divided at best on the tariffs, and outright against conquests into Canada (in like the -60 to -70 range) Their hubris will be our downfall as a country IMO

I remember watching the South Park movie and the plot was so outrageous because the US went to war with Canada. here we are over 20 years later, and that plot isn't so outrageous.

Apropos of nothing, Death of Stalin has become one of my ten go-to movies I will watch every time it’s on, and can turn on at any point in the middle of it and be happy to watch it through to the end.

1.200 OPS in 33 AB. I wasn't that surprised they let a guy go that was still in AA and was going to be 25. I was surprised they hadn't moved him AAA last season - I guess they weren't seeing something they wanted despite the apparent turnaround with the bat.

Shouldn't be lost on anyone that his statement can be read as absolving Stalin, Mao and Hitler for their actions...

Marco Kasper is making a case to be the 2C we've searched for since Filppula left for FA. Steven Weiss...Frans Nielsen..Copp...Compher...none of them lived up to their billing. Kasper could be the man

The V Corp Headquarters in Frankfurt was in the IG Farben building. It had a dumbwaiter elevator that i was shocked hadn't killed anyone.

Hate to be contrarian...but I think it's a wee bit early to say definitively what you have with either player or how they could fit together going forward. They're both talented players...good teams keep talented players. Plus...you have 144 minutes of basketball across the 3-4-5, that's a lot of minutes to spread around.

Harris may have found a very good arm in Hanifee. His numbers from last season kinda surprised me and he's picking right back up this spring. That pitching chaos really got some of these guys valuable experience.

lol

I didn't even spill any of my conservative juices on you guys.

It seems to be the RG next to Sewell tends to have a good year. So I’d put whoever they deem weakest in that spot.

The biggest part is how long birds are kept alive. Layers can live up to two years and broilers (meat birds) are slaughtered around the 7-week mark. So broilers do not have as much time to catch the virus. That also means layers are older and weaker, which could make it easier to catch the virus. You also have to consider how fast a farm can get back up and running after destroying their flock. Like I said, in 7 weeks, a broiler can be butchered. Layers can take up to 20 weeks to start producing eggs. So almost 3x as long to recover for egg producing farms vs meat farms.

It would be ironic if the states with cage laws, which operators complained would cost them money, end up being the lowest total cost operators in the country in the bird flu setting. But of course, regulation bad, government bad.

Betrayer's post in the info thread reminded me of this. Sam and Bryce talk Duren. 100% with Sam when he says no way is he giving Duren $25 million a year. Also agree with them that if Ausar is the guy, Duren probably has to go. It should start at the Duren segment. If it doesn't then skip to 16m0s.

Blaha, while clearly way way past his prime, seems rejuvenated with his play calling this season much like we feel watching the team I'm sure. I just can't imagine watching the Pistons post-Blaha, man is a legend that's been through all of it.

All those companies were put back on a working basis by the US and Allies after the war. VW for example was resurrected by a British Army major who needed the locals to have jobs so he got the factory going.

I would probably wait a bit to see if the drop is permanent or not. But they are definitely going down. Fun fact. I see other restaurant owners in other areas of the country posting prices they pay. They are paying more wholesale than we pay retail in Michigan.

That's exactly it. People say, they'll draft an edge and guard at the draft but Holmes never drafts for need so i doubt he wants to go into the draft being forced to draft for need so I have to think that with this money he has to play with that there's something fairly significant coming before the draft. I saw a report that Zeitler wanted to sign closer to where his family lives so it seems like Holmes didn't have much of a choice.

Google tells me VW, Ford, Mercedes, GM, Nestle, IBM, Siemens, Chase, BASF, Bayer, and Bosch all were intertwined with Nazi Germany in some way. Every one of them still exists. They were involved with a regime that killed over 6 million people, and they exist like nothing happened. So no, I don't think Musk is in much danger there.

Pitching chaos =Rowdy Roddy Piper saying "just when you think you have the answers...I change the questions"

I believe pitching chaos was based on not having more than two pitchers who could reliably start game. I believe the effect of pitching chaos was to keep other teams off-balance and affect their ability to prepare for the game—to your point, not letting get hitters get comfortable.

It's the rotary engine, they've always had lubrication issues on sustained use.

I hope Manning does alright for the Reds, Pirates, Marlins or A's I, like Gehringer_2, thought he might have been the best of the bunch a few years ago. We always love to rate how good our prospects are and all teams do, but if you look back through MLB history at any given year - out of a team's Top 10 prospects, if 3 of them wind up being above average Major League players then you are doing pretty well. I remember hearing the greatness of Mize, Manning and Skubal, but also thinking that in the real world, the best we can realistically hope for was one to really become a star. Skubal's the star, Mize is a 4th/5th starter and Manning is probably done as a Tiger. If we can get anything above average out of Mize, then we're doing really well.

rather have him in toledo on starter's schedule then on a bullpen schedule
