Nothing worse than Blubaughs

BPA. No need to stray from that out of need.

I’m not going to listen to anything regarding reinstating Rose when they were trying to downplay and erase Jackie Robinson recently.

Ausar was a monster in this game, made me eat my words and the vets came through again. Cade woke up in the second half. Knicks needed like 3 Hail Mary threes, just like in Game 4, just to stay close late in the 4th. This was the Pistons game. Knicks now are bruised and battered, this could go 7.

Yes!!!! This team has cost me so many years with these close games. Did JB finally figure out that Ausar’s minutes need to mirror Brunson? We’ll find out Thursday. Let’s get one at home.

well, what goes around usually come around. After the right interprets the Establishment clause away, it opens the door for a future court to interpret the 2A away. At least I can hope.

Yes, I am speaking more in terms of perception than my own feelings. I understand the distinction between players gambling and fans gambling and the former is what's wrong. I don't think the reinstatement of Rose would have a big impact on a lot of fans. The first thing they are going to stay is "He only gambled on his own team. What's wrong that?" I also think that constant promotion of gambling is going to blur the distinction more and more, but that is a somewhat different iussue.

It won't go unnoticed especially if the president talks about it endlessly, but it won't cause them to lose their target audience. Are you going to stop watching baseball because Pete Rose was re-instated? As far as I am concerned, they have already lost their moral authority on gambling by promoting gambling every chance they get. I understand the distinction between Rose gambling and fans gambling, but the hyprocrisy is too thick. The game is now so hopelessly connected to gambling that players or managers fixing games (or the suspicion of such) is inevitable and it will be all MLB's fault.

Why doesn’t Fanduel Detroit show the Blubaugh family now, after the home run he gave up?

Exactly. And then, in a playoff game with a team with Super Bowl aspirations, who do you trust more: a guy who hasn't experienced any real game time, or a seasoned vet, who was also in your offense the year before? They were only going to activate 1 and the other would be the emergency. It really makes complete sense without necessarily saying anything about how they feel about Hooker. The fact that they didn't bring in any significant competition this offseason says more about how they feel about Hooker IMO.

I think to a degree, McClellan was giving Yzerman cover arguing the team was good enough to have made it. He harped a lot about game management, but the real problem for the Wings is that even if you make the safe dump to the corner and fall back - the puck is still coming right back at them because most of them still don't fore-check worth a damn and they can't pressure the puck effectively once it gets in their end, and when the other team raises its energy level and start to press, you get 5 wings standing around waving their sticks at passing lanes hoping their goalie can make a stop because they know only way they are getting the puck back is a lucky rebound right back to a Wing. The ability to pressure the puck and take back possession when the game gets competitive is just lacking with this team - has been for years now. The rest is all just noise.

fun to see the knicks fans complain about the refs.

Brunson shot 4-16 from the field. Harris and company did a nice job on KAT too. He was 5-14 from the field. Hardaway and Beasley combined to go 3-14 from three. Pistons were 8-29 as a team.

Back to the D!

I absolutely hate these elitist pricks.

The best part of the plan is that the people who might want those jobs are all being deported or no longer allowed into the country. I guess they take all the trained medical scientists who lost their jobs and put them into these factories. I am sure they'll all be highly motivated.

its the hope that will kill you.

Emailed John James about him showing up to Trump's rally but never showing up for a townhall and how he serves Trump and not the people of Michigan.

I don't gamble either. I've thought it was interesting to watch point spreads on football games as a reflection of better sentiment but that was about the only thing I ever paid any attention to and the 'moneyline' format doesn't tell me anything intelligible about that either.

I would like to place a wager that Kahnle will throw a changeup.

4-hit day for Greene

Last year March/ April Keith hit .154 with a .387 OPS. Before today, this season wasn't much different for him with a .171/ .518 OPS. The balance of 2024 Keith hit .282/ .756 OPS. I guess Keith decided to turn on the light bulb a day early this year (or at least I hope that's the case...).

Unsatisfying start for Blubaugh.

JAVY BOOM

Ya just gotta love Twitter. Lmao

yeah those people generating content...inorganic reviews.

They are going to draft the player with the best long-term potential whether it be a high school or college player.

“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.” LBJ And that's why they will gladly pay higher prices and be thrilled to do so.

I’m pretty sure one of the goals of the regime is to foment rebellion in the ranks of the police within large cities that are governed by mostly elected Democrats.

My wife and I saw Blubaugh pitch for Sugar Land in Durham on April 6th against the Bulls. Blubaugh started and went three innings, giving up three runs, two of them earned. Our old friend Zack Short committed an error behind Blubaugh costing him an unearned run. Blubaugh dominated Durham in the series opener with nine strikeouts and no walks in a 2-0 win.

Not gonna argue with your broader point (I'm still paying attention but posting less here)... But with regard to the bolded, I would have agreed a lot more 100 days ago. Much less convinced now.

There’s some creative reporting going on by his agent. That’s a very standard UDFA contract. The league standard for an undrafted rookie is a three-year deal, with Exclusive Rights to follow. Recall the Brock Wright drama last year when he signed an offer sheet with the Niners. As opposed to 1st rounders who have four-year deals with a fifth-year team option, or 2nd-7th rounders with four-year deals. The league minimums are $840,000 for the rookie season, $1,005,000 for the second season, and $1,130,000 for the third season. So the league standard, minimum deal for an undrafted rookie in 2025 is 3 years / $2.97 million. Exactly what he got. What UDFAs really tend to care more about is that guaranteed money. Since most of them don’t make it to the roster, if they’re a coveted name, they’ll want either a lot of guaranteed money or a real good chance to make the team. In that sense, $85k isn’t nothing, but it’s also not indicative that they really love a guy. For context, in 2021 (with a different cap and minimums), Brock Wright was guaranteed $50,000 and Jerry Jacobs was guaranteed $3,500. But, last year preseason fan-favorite Isaiah Williams got $245,000 guaranteed, and the center Kingsley Eguakun got $240,000 guaranteed. So it’s not like this Gavin Holmes dude is super highly thought of. He’s got a shot to make the roster, but probably on special teams, and his contract doesn’t really indicate anything more special than that.

Cade played 9m49s in the 4th quarter tonight. He scored 13 points on 3-6 shooting 1-1 from three. 6-6 from the FT line. 4 rebounds 2 assists 1 TO.

Tomorrow’s game truly is a MUST WIN.

tobais harris, jalen duren, jaden ivey, and bobi klintman plus 3 first round picks to milwaukee for giannis.

If you told me the Pistons would win 2 road games in this series, I would assume they won the series. An inexperienced Detroit team is giving NY all they can handle.

I feel badly for Spike Lee.... No I don't F**k him...

There are a lot of reasons to not reinstate Pete Rose, and I have articulated several of them on MTS and MTF over the years. But one that occurred to me just recently is: if it turns out Baseball refused to reinstate him while he was alive but did so only now that he’s dead, they’re basically admitting that they were interested only in punishing the man rather than punishing the infraction. That’s something small, petty, vindictive organizations do, and it was be a very, very bad look for Major League Baseball to do this. When MLB punishes a player for any infraction, even this one, they have to separate the man from the infraction. The punishment must be equal for everyone, and should never turn on the personality of the convicted. It’s the infraction itself they have to remain focused on, irrespective of who committed it. That’s what principled organizations do, and this is yet one more reason why there is nothing in it for Baseball to reinstate Pete Rose.

can't we just win a game without all the drama...

Massive mistake by Thibs not using a timeout to get those guys back in

Bad game to crap the bed, Cade

Again, I don’t believe it was a matter of not trusting Hooker. They had the opportunity to add Bridgewater and all his experience for the playoffs and took advantage of it. No brainer and no reflection on Hooker.

I don’t think it was a matter of not trusting Hooker as much as it was having the opportunity to utilize the availability of Bridgewater and all his experience. It was a win/win, Hooker got to develop all year as backup, and you had Bridgewater available for the playoffs.

Oh see, I didn't know you could just push Reed out of bounds.

Bull**** foul call on Cade.
