  1. Yes, everybody knows Leyland had a Tigers org pedigree but so did Moss, he had paid his dues. But Anderson was a "proven winner" as if against all odds he had managed to achieve success with a team that included Bench, Morgan, Rose, Tony Perez, Griffey Sr etc. You're right it was uncharacteristic of Campbell whose great sin otherwise was keeping guys too long, as opposed to ditching them too soon.
  2. Leyland also did a nice job of chewing post-game food while being interviewed.
  3. I'm neither disappointed nor pleased. As some have pointed out it removes the lame duck aura, but other than that it doesn't make business sense. I am not aware that Hinch does much particular harm, or much particular good, same as any other manager.
  4. Go with experience, Dennis Rodman.
  5. Neither one of them is authorized to speak about their government's policy.
  6. I feel badly for Jen Psaki, she is really going to miss out. I was going to date her, but then I thought "No. You guys are going to elect Trump again...well not exactly, the Electoral College will elect him again...and 6 months later Jen will be in prison". So, I'm not proud of it, I said I would call her but I didn't. I just feel like I should be honest with everyone, I am not the perfect boyfriend for someone who is in prison.
  7. The funniest thing in this forum for the entire year is the notion that G2 is "struggling to understand" something!
  8. I'm happy about this. I wanted him to get the job instead of Les Moss and Sparky Anderson, but things worked out in the end.
  9. He would type his responses without using CAPS.
  10. I guess some attempts need to be made. But of course you can't share anything valuable with them, they will just steal it. My favourite TV expose about Chinese theft of intellectual property was about knockoff golf clubs, specifically drivers. There was Titleist rep there, he was handed 2 drivers...one was legit, and one was a Chinese knockoff. From their exterior appearance, he did not know which was the real one. Then the robot took a few swings with each of them, and the results were hilarious, the knockoff was 30 yards shorter and wildly inaccurate. Then they sawed both of the heads in half and the knockoff had drips in it like runny icing on a cake. I smiled contentedly at that, with schadenfreude, because I worked with a guy at the parent company in Pittsburgh who was a real asshole and a lousy golfer, and every year he bought a new driver and got a really great discount price on it! He probably had 15 Chinese drivers in his garage.
  11. It says everything about me. Thank you.
  12. I already said, twice I think, that I don't disagree with your opinions on this topic. Could you stop, take a deep breath, and try to let that sink in.
  13. A+. He is cruising for a time out here, and I don't think it would be his first.
  14. Rats, subscribers only. Got a 20 word summary?
  15. Santos is so repulsive that he will still be an incel even in prison.
  16. Like I said, I'm a non-believer. So you haven't said anything that I disagree with. I just don't think you should call people "asinine" who disagree with you, the way that Donald Trump would.
  17. He doesn't seem like the ideal Tigers recruit and that proposed contract, OMG, that's way too close to $30 million AAV for me. I want to go at least 5 more years without one of those.
  18. I didn't read that post, it was far far too long. In your previous posts you are just repeating every question that every 8 year old has ever asked after Sunday school. You should know that, there is no genius insight involved in your comments in this thread. The nasty snarl in your comments on this topic disqualifies you as someone who should be taken seriously. I might have taken your thoughts seriously if they were not packaged in such unnecessarily hateful rhetoric.
  19. I'm a non-believer but I don't insult other people for their beliefs. We have a couple of people here who can't separate the evils of organized religion from the desire for spirituality that many people have as individuals.
  20. Clearly they don't. Anyone who thinks they do is ignorant.
  21. You weren't there, so you don't know what you're talking about. Carry on with your mocking though.
  22. The priest was making a joke. Good grief.
