I’ve had an emotional week, so nice to be able to veg annd watch Wings @ Flames on Sportsnet tonight. 2-0 Wings 5 minutes in.

I continue to be knocked out by the idea that so many Tiger fans will be disappointed to see Tarik Skubal suit up in a Tigers uniform on March 26.

Baddoo to the Brewers.

Chas and I are agreeing on something again. Feels good. 😄

Sleepy Grandpa Trump yelling at clouds again Three cognitive exams? Why so many?

It might be less that the government is unable to produce evidence of a deportation order, and more that they believe they don't have to produce a deportation order simply because they're the Trump administration.

Apparently the source on this very distracting story is a lesser-known insider, Marde Wanuel.

I don’t wish harm on anybody but I’ll save my sympathy for someone that deserves it. Sherrone is a total scumbag POS. I feel sorry for his wife and kids.

I will be happy (and I expect him to be Tiger), but I'd like it even better if more talent was added to support him.

is michigan a good enough job that you take it knowing the guy who hired you was getting fired in a week? i have my doubts.

All bark, no bite. Typical. Gutless. No balls.

That leak to Auerbach reeks of somebody being frustrated that Manuel is safe.

A position with THAT level of importance and THAT amount of money and there was NO LEGAL OR HR PEOPLE. Yeah, that department is A-OK !

if Howard Johnson did not annoy Sparky so much, he would have been a big piece for most of the 1980s

Narrator: it didnt happen

That makes ALL the sense in the world... which is why it won't be Germany.

this offseason has literally gone just as many on this board predicted: Flaherty back (maybe in a surprising way), Torres and Finnegan back, and then a few million pissed away again on a rehab starting pitcher project. Harris is just trolling us with his GM 101 box checking.

And it's a major league deal. Surprises me, good for him

The draft lottery has really changed the incentive structure around tanking. The value of draft picks is pretty high at the top of the draft, but the worst teams are not guaranteed to get those picks, and also get blocked out of the lottery if they win too often. The math has changed for the better.

This. Their entire ethos is that of the schoolyard bully and his in-your-face “What the **** you gonna do about it?”

I think the response here is, "Duh." Today's sports news consists of one guy saying "Team X could show interest in Player Y at some point in the future" and then a hundred outlets reporting that as sourced news for clicks.

3/45 for Saurez is painfully reasonable in both years and dollars

Average is deceptive, because there is a small number of top players that inflate it. The median player is much closer to zero. It is good to get high picks, but the value gets overstated. I don't believe the risk/reward is worth going through multiple years of crap teams to try to get good again.

This is the advantage to living in Illinois—they will not simply hand over voters rolls to the regime, which pretty obviously wants to use them to persecute, and perhaps even arrest and prosecute, voters who vote disloyally against the president.

It'll be glorious when they actually make her and the other elites pay a price for their nefarious actions.

Oracle stock down 13.5% right now. It's a sign

The Democrats catching Secretary Noem in outright lies was glorious. Showing videos of her blatant lies was perfect. One senator even told her to resign or she was going to be impeached. The democrats will make America great again as soon as they retake power and start impeaching members of this corrupt administration.

So if the median value of a fifth overall pick is zero career WAR, then why was Avila tanking the franchise to get a pick that high in the first place?

Yeah, this is why I think it is weird how a bunch of people are like "everyone, this is very serious, he said he is going to kill himself, lets all pray for this troubled man" He is doing the teenage boyfriend thing when their girlfriend dumps them after 2 weeks of "dating" - "I AM GOING TO KILL MYSELF, I SWEAR!!!!!" Dude is a scumbag. His wife, his victim(s?), his kids are who deserve sympathy here.

Moore was following a bunch of OnlyFans models on IG lol

I'll have to ask ChatGPT.

On mlb.tv they discussed Tucker. They've been told he is getting offers in the 5-6 year range. They said with the cba uncertainty no teams are going to offer the 10-year contracts. I do think that will affect Skubal. The Dodgers will still do whatever they want and may go 10 with deferrals. But imho this does point to the risk Skubal will take by waiting. If Harris did offer 8/350 now he might consider it. For a pitcher (not counting Ohtani) that's both the highest total and AAV. Ever. To me losing Skubal hits harder than JV. The Tigers had 13 years with him, and it looked like he was in decline. Skubal is prime Randy Johnson level right now.

At this point, first and foremost, I hope Sherrone is OK and those around him are not harmed either. This is a very real situation involving other human beings. I hope no one ends up getting harmed or Sherrone harming himself.

I feel bad for his family and hope he gets the help he needs.

I thought this was known a month ago. It not being officially official may be why I haven't gotten my invoice for next year though.

I wonder what Joe Cullen ordered that night. Spicy Chick Sand combo?

Likely fake. Maybe Moore picked up Plan B himself by driving naked through a drive-thru Walgreen’s.

Ha, we all had the same thought.

It specifically says not Connor Cook on the handle lol

Peoole forget that you don’t build your playoff team in December or March. It’s built in July and August.

Exactly. It doesn't make sense to not add around Skubal but I guess it's still early in the off season.

Reminders for doctor's appointments. I don't mind a reminder a couple days before or even a text confirming an appointment the day before. I really don't mind having to fill out the questioner before the appointment, it does save time. But the constant reminders on MyChart about the appointment, confirm the appointment, aign. in again and confirm that I confirmed the appointment is a bit too much. I'm 73 not 13
