  1. That's a startling claim, that "no one could have done any better". Canada, which has had some major screwups and is still struggling in the west, has 789 deaths per million of population. The United States has 2,202. The rest of the world was staring, jaws dropped, at how stupid he is. He led the country to almost 3 times as many deaths as a sensible person would have. The 734,000 deaths should have been 250,000, if he had handled it as poorly as we did.
  2. Yeah I don't think I'm paying Boyd $7 million.
  3. Yes, exactly. He seems to have figured things out now with 2 monster years out of the past 3, his teammates love him and the only worry is a defensive dropoff in 2 or 3 years that takes him off shortstop, him being 31 as of a couple of days ago.
  4. I like Semien, and you might be right about him wanting to play short again. I'm really not sold on Correa, he has only stayed healthy for two full seasons and he's part of the crew that exposed Hinch's leadership weakness in Houston.
  5. Hey you guys Fiona Hill is on Judy Woodruff right now.
  6. Correa has only played more than 110 games in a season twice. I would be worried about that.
  7. It is only the people with the very fattest butts who will not move out of the way.
  8. Minor league coaching positions don't have much job security. Details at 11.
  9. I hit lefthanded, so a ball hit to left field was a foul ball. Same thing for righthanded hitters, balls to right field were foul.
  10. Where the hell have you been for the past 12 years? Good to see you. Yes Mayfield sucked on Sunday but for the previous 3 games he was top 10. Yes he could be Wentz, and that's another manifestation of how smart Berry is...he has't offered the extension yet, like the Bills did for Josh Allen. He's waiting to see more.
  11. Yes I think that that is exactly right. When you walk into the room to meet the arbitrator, you are stuck with the outcome.
  12. Andrew Berry might be the smartest GM in the league, and the previously meddlesome owners have backed off. They will have double digit wins for the next 6 years.
  13. Do you guys read Peter King FMIA? There is a great quote in there this morning, someone said "I have seen enough of Ben Roethlisberger playing quarterback in my lifetime. He now reminds me of Tevye's horse". Which is freaking hilarious for a football comment.
  14. Ha ha I played for the Tigers from age 10 to 12.
  15. Correa is from the Astros team that openly defied Hinch. So far, we are told, the Tigers are responding to Hinch's leadership. So I don't want a guy in the room who has already chosen to ignore him in the past, influencing the younger players. Of course, if I could choose between Correa and Hinch, it's Correa all day.
  16. Hinch is the reason why I don't want Correa.
  17. Norm Macdonald loved Bob Uecker and how foul mouthed he was when the mike was off.
  18. I didn't know that about Lolich/Freehan. Thanks for that.
  19. I can see myself completely ignoring the whole thing.
  20. Oh OK, that's pretty convincing, I'm satisfied. Carry on.
  21. I agree, he seems to be a smart guy with easy 20/20 abilities. I don't expect the throwing to improve but hitting against lefthanders will.
