I think I suffered an oblique injury cheering just now.

I was hoping for…

I like this starting pitching staff much better than chaos; They have Cobb, Montero, etc as backup options if any injuries or ineffectiveness hit.

I call that an Aurelio Lopez Special.

Hurter with a 3 inning save. Good job!

No D in Keith

Mr McEaudeParfume.

Every team should publish a weekly Mentally Challenged List that lists the bonehead plays any of their players made that week

Margot is not aging gracefully; used to be a good defender and baserunner, but looks a lot older than 30

He sprained his fat.

Tanned. Rested. Ready.

I pulled a butt muscle on a fly ball the other day. But I helped keep it fair. Carp owes me....😆

It’s pronounced Duh-Troit. There’s only one person that is allowed to say Dee-Troit.

“The men in the factory are old and cunning. You don’t owe nothing so boy get running. It’s the best years of your life they want to steal…”

Never thought I’d see an Art Brut reference here. That’s a great album.

remain humble. You cannot change the outcome from your couch or your car. You can change it if you jump up and down and post memes and sub reference a bunch of tv shows and songs.

Its a parody account.

MCS throws the shade in B&W. 💣

Skubal

Our tables were bumping up against the stage. When he sneered we were so close it almost seemed personal.

How did Hurter catch that? Holy crap what a grab

I can’t wait for Jim Adduci to be Tiger of the Day

Last year I was selected to be the fan of the game where they put me in good seats, introduced me on the board, and I had to pick a walk up song. I went with Sabatoge.

I mean that is such a superior song in every way.

we wish we had British Empire honorifics in the states.

They should put 27 8x10 color glossy pictures with circles and arrows and paragraph on the back of each on one of that Carp home run.

I’d like to see Carp join the party here.

You can’t go on the IL, we don’t have a replacement on the roster to beg for 6 runs

If every game Lavine played was against the Pistons he would be ahead of LeBron on the scoring list. I swear he averages over 40 a game against us.

I don't think the word "disabled" is generally considered offensive. It depends on how it is used. If you refer to individuals as disabled people or people with disabilities, then it's not offensive. If you refer to them as "the disabled" then it's dehumanizing. I do understand your overall point though. it is intent that matters. The idea is to respect everyone with respect and kindness. I would say that "injured list" makes more sense than "disabled list" because a disability is usually permanent whereas an injury generally heals.

what amuses me about the whole "use this word not that word" merry go round is that the connotation attaches to the word by its use, not vice versa. You could decide to call disabled people 'bananas' and in a generation it would have the same connotation as 'disabled' and there would be complaints about calling hurt ball players 'bananas' because it was an insult to 'real' bananas people. To me it's an exercise in reality denial. Like the IEEE argument about master/slave control loops. Slavery is a word for a concept that reflects situations that exist in reality, you can't avoid the intellectual construct - it's there no matter what word you use. People have been cruel and inhuman to each other since forever, its real history - it doesn't go away if you call it something else. So that's my rant - but it's not a hill I'm going to die on, just bitch about.

There are surely things that you think are offense that are not offensive to others. Anyway, if there is one group which deserves extra consideration, it is disabled people.

Garland over Cade is ridiculous.

If Hillary makes a move, I doubt 50 agents could stop her. As I understand it from MAGA, she has the most confirmed kills of any living assassin.

LOL - the other similar example is that you have a 100% trade imbalance with your barber - same idea. It's a little bit of false analogy though because if you step back and look at all countries together (the equivalent of looking at your whole household budget) the US still has a huge trade deficit. There are other economic factors that make some part of that fine, but the argument is how much of it. The real problem is that China and its billion people have refused to run an 'ordinary' economy for the last several decades. They have structured their economy in such a way that they can't consume themselves enough of what they have to produce to keep their people employed and the net result is they run their economy by importing other country's industrial jobs (mostly ours AAMOF)- and sooner or later everyone else is going to get (has gotten) tired of it. Right now they are setting up to dominate the worlds automotive industry next. That is what is at the core of what is happening here. Adding the rest of world to his grievance list is just gravy for Trump since he hates everyone anyway - the argument is 95% over China. Since Bill Clinton the Dem position on this has been "well it will all work out because we can all become knowledge workers" but it turns out knowledge jobs are just as easy to export. That's a big piece of why the democrats economic message has failed - it's as much a failure as trickle down. And I also think there is a level at which the Dems are OK with what Trump is doing; first because he is doing it badly which helps their future prospects, but two, because if they get back into power Trump will have done some of the 'dirty work' for them they would have done but couldn't figure out how to do themselves.

He hurt himself giving no effort on that fly ball yesterday?

John James announced his run for governor. I definitely had things to say in my daily email to James. -I let him know Benson will mop the floor with him -I asked if he was going to campaign on something other than anti-trans -Asked if he will go back to embedding swastikas in his ads like he did in 2018 -I reminded him of the tax money he took to create jobs he failed to create -I asked if he was going to move back to Farmington Hills -I suggested he resign and focus on his doomed campaign and let someone who actually isn't absent represent the district

those troops need to be deployed or training for war with China and Russia. NOT being used to intimidate Americans.

.600 ball, y'all. 97 wins.

The Habs haven't lost in regulation at home since February 9. Home record of 8-0-1 since then. I'd ask my daughter who is a freshman there at McGill to head over tomorrow night and cheer on the Wings for me but a) Montreal has playoff fever so tickets are expensive; b) she's preparing for finals; and c) she's a traitor who roots against her dad's teams any chance she can, just to bug me.

In the old days Ernie would have interviewed Ibanez and given him a pair of Florsheim Shoes. Wingtips!

Any guy they trade up for has to love football more than breathing. His last dying wish has to be "I wanna be a Lion and hand my life over to Dan Campbell." That's what we won't know. Only Brad Homes and all his team (including DC and coaches) get to go inside these guys' heads and try to figure out what makes them tick. Does Shemar Stewart love football more than breathing? Then the answer to your question is: "maybe". Does the team also believe they can unlock his pass-rush abilities? Because although he'd be a great edge-setter, and is able to apply "pressure" on the QB, he didn't produce very many sacks at all. So the team would have to believe they can unlock that ability, otherwise, I would say no. Too many tricky questions to answer with any kind of certainty. It's all maybes with Brad because we all know he could do just about ANYTHING... Whoever they "fall in love with" the most is a fair target. So: Tyler Booker? Kenneth Grant? Shemar Stewart? Derrick Harmon? Grey Zabel? Donovan Jackson? Mykel Williams? Jonah Savaiinaea (nfl.com says so)? Or someone no one, not one of us, has even thought of? You can pick your poison... but you KNOW that Brad Holmes is going to pick HIS...
