  1. Jim is right. And it’s not just in his thread. Maybe not necessarily the hatred, but certainly one sidedly dismissive and unwaveringly ignorant.
  2. I think you could scroll through other issues and find disagreements with the official line. Female priests for another.
  3. This is it. Regardless of where one is on the deity spectrum, don’t live life like… well, you probably put it better than I did a page or two back.
  4. After the kick in the nuts November that the Pistons had, this is a nice poke in the eye.
  5. Gosh that guy was so much fun to watch. Its too bad he didn't have more of a national audience other than his almost daily appearance on ESPN SportsCenter highlights.
  6. I'm not that worried about $30M AAV per se. But specific to bringing in a top tier SP, which Snell is considered to be, the walk rate is too high for my liking. Its been that for a while, and he's gotten away with it due to a lower H/9. Now, OK, it is better to allow a walk than an extra base hit, and that's where he's been able to find success. However, what happens when the velocity ticks down a bit, the movement isn't quite what it was, and the contact becomes more frequent, more solid, more pinpointed onto the barrel of the bat? Ain't gonna be pretty at $30M per. For $30M per, I would want a history of success with a reasonable projection of sustainability. I'm a complete amateur looking at numerals hacktastically. But I kind of question Snell going forward.
  7. Is Canha just a bridge until Bigbie is called up in 2025? Edit: Bridge might be selling Canha short. Maybe the better way to look at it is that the timing might be fortunate with Canha's salary expiring and hopefully Bigbie's recent development is real.
  8. Ivey has to be in there somewhere, doesn't he?
  9. Bigs and 3 or Ds. That defines the current Pistons.
  10. See, you're able to express your difference of opinion without being snide about it. Several others disagreed as well, but the tone was civil, and that's why they don't get attacked. That's the way it should be.
  11. Fairy tales. Sky wizard. You're intentionally being an asshole. I'll type slower for you this time. Don’t live life like an asshole.
  12. He hates Austin Meadows, too.
  13. I'm used to that. I actually like the shirt, I think its clever. I've thought about getting a BO KNOWS shirt for myself lately. I told him he needed to look up Bo Jackson and I was going to explain it a bit more, but he had things to tend to. Hopefully he talked this stranger danger event to his parents and they explained to him that (1) Bo Jackson > Bo Bichette and (2) some boomers actually do know stuff.
  14. So, I'm at a junior high school event for my kid last night. A kid walks by with this shirt: I only caught the BO at first. But then I saw it wasn't Bo Jackson. So, he walked by me and I told him he had the wrong Bo on the shirt, and he just kind of gave me a quizzical look and continued on his way. A few minutes later he walked by again and asked me what I meant. And I told him Bo Jackson is the best Bo. And again, he gave me a confused look and said Bo Bichette was the best Bo, who is Bo Jackson? Who is Bo Jackson??!! I wanted to grab him by the scruff and march him off to the nearest screen to watch some YouTube. These kids today, they don't know diddley.
  15. According to my spotify wrapped, I listened to some Buffett during September. Sounds about right.
  16. I also do not have plans to run for president in 2024.
  17. 2-17. 30-52 seemed to have been a popular prediction. They'll need to go 28-35 to accomplish that. Is it reasonable to expect them to win 40% of their games from here on out?
  18. I’m not. But I don’t begrudge those that are. Look, it’s pretty simple. Regardless of religion, don’t live life like an asshole.
  19. I think there’s some psychological magic with 100 wins or losses for an MLB record. It’s just a theory. Kind of like 20 pitching wins or home runs (used to be anyway). I’d like to say 100 wins or losses doesn’t occur very often, but there probably needs to be s9me research behind that. For the record, there were three 100 win teams and four 100 loss teams this season. I’m sure most of us that were around for 1984 look at 104 wins as something special. And, unfortunately we know the sting of 119 losses, too.
  20. What’s wrong with atheism? Is the current flavor of Christianity that aligns with Trump (and to be clear, I’m not saying that’s all Christians) a better people because they say they believe in Christianity?
  21. Vestski would've been more fun.
  22. Teamwork makes the dream work.
  23. The black jerseys are a part of the demise. Someone(s) is more of a major player, but let's also not overlook the ugly kits.
  24. That and the empty Moosehead Light cans strewn about.
