you all know i’ve only done this before for the 2000 election to protest on behalf of Bush. I’m pretty emotional right now. This feels right.

My favorite Goldwater quote

Kenley Jansen sounds like the name of a hot sorority girl, but in this case, nope.

Not a chance! You think I'm gonna risk fate by adding him to be collection of star Tigers? Fate'll take on look at that go: Nope! Too soon my friend, and then he'll have a career ending injury. You think I want that on my head? No way. 5 years from now? Sure... but not now. I used to collect Bobbleheads for Lions and Tigers... but I started running into two problems: First, they didn't always make bobbleheads of the players I wanted, especially old star players. Second, and more importantly: They started getting SUPER expensive! Like $40-$60 for some of them. It just got hard to mentally justify dropping that on something that just sits on my shelf, ya know? So I really had to think about what I wanted to do going forward. Around this time I'd also gotten a 3D printer so I was sorta thinking about whether there was something I could do with that... maybe print little plastic jerseys or something... but I just couldn't find anything that I thought would be cool looking or interesting, and I certainly wasn't good enough to digitally sculpt anything, so I sort dismissed this. I honestly was in a bit of a funk thinking about what I was going to do. I mean, I know it's stupid to get depressed about something like sports "statues" and it's not like I was majorly depressed, but I was a little bummed Literally two days after coming to the decision that I was going to have to give up bobbleheads and being bummed about it, I was scrolling through youtube and saw a video on a piece of software called HueForge... and it all clicked together. So now once or twice a year I add a new "statue" by finding a good picture, cutting it out in inkscape, manipulate it a bit, create a 3D model with HueForge and make my own memorabilia. Much cheaper, and as long as I can find a decent picture I can do it of whatever player I want.

Well, for starters, you're missing that he doesn't K a lot, and his contact rate is elite.

Mazur has been called up!!

swing and miss? as a 19 year old, his K rate was 19.2% across low A and high A as a 20 year old, his K rate was 16.9% across high A and AA as a 21 year old, he is at AAA and its very likely he gets at least gets a cup of coffee in the majors, if not more he may not be a superstar but just about everyone ranks him as the #1 OF prospect is baseball for a reason geez. tough crowd

Secretary of small excursions

The TV graphic said the Tigers had 1 error after the inning was over. Just checked the box score online and it says they have 0 errors, so maybe it was just a mistake. Or they changed it already.

The Party is on a ride-or-die journey with Trump, because they are never going to be what people thought they were before, ever again. Not in my lifetime, anyway, and not in yours, either.

How about just call him McGonigle? If he develops a nickname naturally, that's fine. No forced nicknames.

The nice thing about this game being a night game after yesterday’s day game is that the Padres can restabilize the RF corner wall that McGonigle nearly knocked down in his 2nd PA.

ABS is already hilarious.

Is that game at LCA?

I’m not a fan of Carpenter leading off. I get why Hinch likes that, but Carp is so aggressive at the dish and having him lead off just always seems like he’s in HR or Bust mode. Carp is at his best when he works a count a little bit and waits for the mistake.

Where I was the cops were on scene too. Its planned and organized. The protest has marshals who wear vests and make sure nobody is getting to crazy.

Britain has some great food. Of course, it all comes from south Asia.

The sense of fellowship and organization is so positive. So many people I talked to today were expressing inbetween raw emotion and coherent and long thought out discourses so many different ideas. Keep it up!

agree

Huerter has been really good in limited minutes and now with more opportunity recently. I like him quite a bit more than Levert even though Levert provides a bigger need with shot creation. Hopefully this trend continues of more Huerter and less Levert.

am i not seeing kaline there? he might be a good choice EDIT: is that him way in the back? i think you could reasonably have any number of others. gibson, magglio both come to mind as being big parts of tigers lore

McGonigle! Those are super cool. What’s the story behind them.

@IdahoBert isn't allowed to wear pants until the Tigers lose...

All your crab legs are belong to us.

Did I say this year? I meant this March.

There is some really scary economic data coming out about the refineries having been shut down in the entire gulf region. Couldn't possibly have been predicted by this government which was dragged into this war by the Israel lobby and fellow criminal Bibi.

Finally someone who can put the ball in play with runners on instead of striking out.

I was watching ithe 8th inning n bed last night McGonigle's AB reminds me of Dave Bergman's 1984 AB vs. the Blue Jays on Monday Night Baseball. 13 pitchers. Foul after foul after foul until he hit the game winning HR. The pitches he took. This dude's the real deal, man.

Bullpen: 3 innings, 1 hit, 1 BB, 7 Ks

So many positive things happening this year already. Two great wins.

So THAT'S what a closer looks like.

now Nick can have a beer in the dugout

Easy Grandpapa Grande, Easy

maybe it was....

So my poster for tomorrow is done as is my wife and daughters

Torkelson is not Ricky Henderson.

The abandonment of those principals by those in power, I know many intellectuals still cling to it and are never trumpers, but i mean the politicians themselves,tells me the principals were just bull**** to rope in voters for the real battle-the culture war.

Ok, Boomer.

Lack of experience isn't even close to his worst trait. In addition to his sexual assault comments, he also had a number of racist comments. And called people of Maine stupid. He sounds like a real pearl of a human being. And I wouldn't be surprised if he does turn out to be a Nazi. I suspect people like him for 'personality reasons,' which is more than a bit concerning. I'm disappointed that my Senator has endorsed him. Is there really nobody in Maine willing to step up who has progressive views without this kind of history? And shouldn't we asking for representatives who don't have this kind of history? I definitely like Mills better. Come to think of it, I like Collins better, too.

This is what happens when you put non-serious people in charge of serious national security apperati.

The markets are in freefall - down 9% so far (that > $5 trillion in lost equity), WIT is back up to $99, the Strait is still closed, the mullahs are still in charge, US munition stocks are depleted, and NYT reports that now Trump is bored with the whole affair. So much winning.

Hard at work
