1984Echoes

Not until we actually make the playoffs. Otherwise: we are still building or rebuilding or whatever... (I know you're referencing Ilitch... just sayin'...)

WHEW!!! You guys just got what you were asking for...! I'll be back in about an hour after trying to read everything in here to catch up...

Why do we need to count on those guys "next year"? Were we planning on making the playoffs next year and therefore those guys "must" be counted on? Just asking for your thinking on that...

Well... We'll see about that... One way or another...

HAH!!! Of course...!

And if everyone is sick of patience, or has none left, then... Too fucking bad. Not to be rude but... the only way the team structure changes is if Avila makes changes or if Ilitch decides to make a change to the "man at the top (AA)". Otherwise.... So you're sort of stuck. You have no choice but to live with this team as is, and with all these rookies coming up, until Ilitch says different. One can always just walk away if you've had enough with patience. But I've seen enough to know to stick with this team. Maybe I'm influenced by my teenage years when Whitaker/ Trammell/ Morris/ Rozema/ Petry/ Parrish/ Gibson/ Kemp/ Jason Thompson/ and others all came up at the same time and that may be clouding my vision... But I don't think so. Worst news: Those guys all came up essentially from 1977-1979... And I had to WAIT FIVE YEARS MORE before they won a championship in 1984. I've learned something with that experience... it's called patience.

We have both. But you can't resolve anything in a rookie year. So it sucks to say this/ I know no one wants to hear this, but: patience.

Small sample size. We don't know yet who is going to thrive versus get reduced roles (middle relievers or bench) versus sink back into AAAA where they belong. It's going to take a few years to hash that all out between the guys who have already made it up, even if it was in an emergency situation, and the guys that are still making their way up the ladder.

Are we being hush-hush about the F-16's?

Damn...! Making a move on Crimea!!! BOLD!!!

They need to arrest quite a few GOP House members. For sedition. Seditious conspiracy. And for their already-committed or soon to be-attempted coverups of past and current criminal behavior...

Boot-Licking Fascists. One and all.

"Sheepish Liars".

Detroit Tigers 2016 Farm System... NOT comparable in terms of either depth or quality to the... Detroit Tigers 2022 Farm System.

Another Christian Terrorist Assassination Death Squad is now on the loose in Albuquerque...

Fetterman should run an ad with the simple message of "Can you tell which photo is the real one?" Any protestations... "It's just a joke dude..." And the effectiveness of that joke...? Oz is a laughing stock (if he isn't already) and gets laughed right out of the election by a landslide of votes...

I'm picturing that as an FBI agent with his gun unholstered (but not pointing at anyone) barking out "Make the Fucking Call!"... As the Sheep Not Lions employee goes down the list of MAGA Sheep that he or she is required to call to inform them that their Made in the USA product was actually Made in CHEYE-NA... muttering: "But it was just a little label thing...".

WAHOOOO!!! Gotta go get those tickets as soon as I can... maybe this weekend will be some good timing for me...

PS: I haven't seen it yet... gotta go see it...

I like the Deadpool funny in which the sarcasm and sight gags and every other gag is way off the frickin' charts and just leaves my sides aching.... Pitt can also be that way (to a much lesser degree) so I was expecting a minor stream of hilarious coming out of Pitt's mouth after seeing the trailer...

The simple explanation is that they just cannot let go of Grossman. Because of Hinch, or for whatever other reason they have...

Putin's Orwellian Universe.

Yeah, I like this one! BIGLY.

Freaking Awesome!!!
