One is trying to live the American dream. The other is rapidly destroying it.

It's time to again post my favorite Danny Murtaugh quote

Fixed that for you.

What immigrants puked in his breakfast cereal?

body cams are a good way to keep police crime to a minimum.

Might as well win the series today

Or got lit up. As in lit up… if you know what I mean.

The Erie game is on mlbtv

Also interesting that the thinking is in black and white with no middle ground. Totally colorblind there.

It's what happens when nobody wants you around them all day anymore, and you get paid a pittance to stay the hell away. 😁

By the way, is Dingler’s absolutely awesome helmet worn only on special occasions? Of course, I guess if he wore it every day that would destroy the dignity of the game, unlike gambling.

What about us colorblind folks, ahole? jk Chas, thanks for the info.

Something about the way this discussion has turned makes me remember the guy in the Fenway neighborhood who used to yell at teenagers walking by and talking to 'shut up and get off of my lawn.' He lived in an apartment building. He didn't have a lawn.

Buch was on SKA's first line and scored their lone goal in their preseason game. The post I stole the info from has a video: https://forums.hfboards.com/threads/wings-prospects-in-other-leagues.3009871/post-201363255

Only question being if they want to carry 3 QB's on the active roster - they only carried 2 last season until signing Bridgewater late.

Sweeney was rated the Dodgers’ #22 prospect by Baseball America or #28 by MLB Pipeline at the time he was acquired with Liranzo. Given that, playing 130 MLB games like he already has for the Tigers is more than I would have expected for his entire career.

I really like Seattle's stadium. Even when the roof is "closed", it is still open to the outdoors. It feels like the best of both worlds.

Shep—may I call him “Shep”?—was a weird detour in the history of Tigers broadcasting. Remember, Shep was not a baseball guy coming in. He’d done some replacement work on the Tigers’ broadcasts before 2019, but the sum total of his baseball experience was less than 25 games when he’d been handed the job. Shep was kind of the Xavier Nady of big league broadcasters. I would probably like Bennett better if I didn’t have Dan available via audio overlay, because I’d be comparing Benetti to Shep and not to Dan. I would be more open to the non-baseball wisecracking—or more exactly, the whole truckload of it—during the broadcast were he my one and only choice to listen to. A few scales have fallen from my eyes about Dan and I do recognize the egregious errors he makes in the moment—that sunshine “homer” last night being merely the latest—but man, does that guy know the analytical side of the game, and he is really good at translating it to layman terms for the broadcast. Plus, he is all business, and maybe you don’t care for that, but that’s perfect for me, and I’m gonna enjoy that as long as he can manage to stay on the air.

Also, if Joe Biden had said you need a license plate to vote in Delaware it would be on every newscast and pundit show for the next week. Plus, there would be headlines from papers like WSJ, NY Post, NYT and WaPo talking about Biden's age and cognitive abilities. I only saw a Yahoo News article on this story and little more.

I always carry an extra screwdriver with me just in case someone forgets

Oooof if admin can fix subject line thanks.

Dickerson is my favorite announcer of all time in all sports. Absolutely amazing.

Hahaha they did it! Rockies win 4-3

The bold is the key. Coming from someone who started making engineering drawings with paper, pencil, a mechanical arm, and a cheap calculator, to the highest 3D CAD systems in the world. Thanks to computers, the transition from paper to CAD changed the world. The days of football field size drafting rooms with hundreds of tables (and people) were replaced with AutoCad (went DOS 1992) at first, then the 3D stuff. Once it went digital, many jobs and support systems were lost. This will continue with AI. We have the great things we have today due to the progression in this technology - we could draw some complex parts years ago with a pencil and mechanical arm (had to scale as well) - but nobody could make it. Today, with our CAD/CAM machines we can do incredible things. All about cost. I bolded we. We isn't AI. That is the scary part. What should scare the living **** out of all of us is what these inept corporate worms are cooking up to convince their corporate worm bosses this AI horse**** is going to make record profits for years to come and they will suck it up like a Hoover vacuum cleaner. Hey - look at the stock price and all the bonuses and these dickhead getting rich. What's not to like? Then the whole ****house blows up because it was a scam from the start. Dot-com mania on roids (when it comes to the market). All driven by technical BS by arrogant greedy clueless assholes and an ignorant populous. AI can't replace people, and never will. Crazy Teddy Kaczynski is laughing in his grave.

I agree. I see him as a reliever with poor control who got hot for a few months one year, walked way too many batters the next year and then got hurt. I am not expecting much.

I don’t have much faith in Lange. I think it’s 50/50 he makes it to the end of the season, and 20/80 he makes the postseason roster.

This post did not age well. 😉

Keith had a really slow start, so to now be sitting at .783 OPS for the season is an impressive fight back.

What an outing for Jack. One shaky inning followed by six superb innings. 6-0 Tigers at the 7th inning stretch.

Jack gets behind the 1st 7th inning hitter and then strikes him out. This is his best pitched game in a while

Six in a box well well well.

aside from that first-inning nonsense, Flaherty's been doing pretty ok today. I like.

Kerry Carpenter looked like Rodney Peete on one of Barry Sanders' TD runs early in his career.

Yeah, it has been for over a month, I think.

A rare quote of mine that ages well. 5-0 Tigers!

And only half way to Cecil’s HR total

Last I checked Albuquerque had a real meth problem. Even high school teachers and fast food managers were enmeshed in it.

Galaga, you're not entirely wrong that many of the reports have been blown out of proportion, but if the base of your party makes fun of 'face diapers', but celebrate and defend when their law enforcement is wearing masks, maybe you should reassess your position.

It's worth remembering that ICE has detained actual American citizens during the course of conducting themselves this way. Every single time it happens is a failure and is unacceptable. And should be treated as such

Oblong's comments are correct.

It should upset everyone that masked people can get away with just snatching people off the street. It should be very clear to everyone who's around who they are and what their official business is. This is not a police state.

Now the the math is even more in the Tigers' favour. If the Tigers go 17-19 the rest of the way, they'd finish at 90-72. To match the Tigers at 90 wins (let's give the Guardians the tiebreaker as an assumption), the Guardians would need to finish 27-12 (.692 pace). If the Tigers go 18-18 the rest of the way to finish at 91-71, the Guardians would have to go 28-11 to match (.718 pace).

This makes more sense than “mental arror.”
