1984Echoes

Ken Burns is ALWAYS fascinating.

There's been quite a few of those the past 6 weeks...

Collins: "I'm pretty certain he has learned his lesson this time." McConnell: "I'm pretty certain he has learned his lesson this time." Barr: "I'm pretty certain he has learned his lesson this time." Graham: "I'm pretty certain he has learned his lesson this time." Buddha: "I'm pretty certain he has learned his lesson this time." Archie Bunker: "I'm pretty certain he has learned his lesson this time."

He WAS actively involved. He ORCHESTRATED the COUP ATTEMPT.

BULLSHIT. BULLSHIT.

Anyone who thinks that Trump is some benign narcissist, and that's it... Is full of shit. Hate my opinion if you want... but Tater is 100% correct. Trump wants to overthrow our Democracy and take power all to himself. Fame and fortune are side benefits that he will siphon as much as he possibly can... But he wants to be a dictator, pure and simple. Not to repeat myself but... anyone disagreeing is NAIVE in all caps and utterly beyond belief.

god can go fuck himself. I make my own plans.

I have no interest in Noam Chomsky. Never have. But I have a friend ("acquaintance" actually) who was all into his ideologies. No thanks.

This is so weird if you actually think about it. Whatever life I build for myself, whatever career, family, choices, "pull myself up from bootstraps", life... I make for myself... was my "destiny". Pretty much horseshit. There is no destiny. Only what you create for yourself. And that's not destiny, that's making choices. It's so weird to think that people look at that and think "Oh, that was meant to be...".

Need some extreme lineup measures... It's time to move Tork up to the cleanup spot. Until Baez heals, we have a hole in the 3-spot. We're stuck with Candy in the 3 spot until then I think. But I also think that Candy can be a pretty decent hitter and putting Tork behind him might help get him back on track. Just a guess... But in the 1-2 spot I'm looking at righty-lefty splits. That means against RH'ers it's Baddoo-Meadows, then Candy, Tork, Miggy? then choose the lesser evil of Castro, Barnhart, Grossman (or Reyes?), Schoop (against righties) for 6-9. Against LH'ers it's Reyes, Grossman, then Candy, Tork, Miggy, Schoop, then choose the lesser evil of Castro, Haase (or Garneau?), Grossman (or Cameron? or Meadows? or Baddoo in the 9th spot?) for 7-9. I can't wait for both Baez and Greene to be back in this lineup.

I guess we can really start looking at draft spot now... We're in the 9th spot at the moment... with 7 games left to go...

No. The only acceptable outcome is 7 straight Cy Young Awards, and all for the Tigers (none of this Scherzer gets his after leaving the Tigers horseshit...). Mize squeezes in with one at the end and the other 6 are divided evenly by Skubal and Manning, alternating each year. All three finish in the top 10 votes for the award... starting next year. Skubal looks like he'll make it there this year though...

The whole name still has to ring. If it's "Kutter Jones"... I'm on board. "Kutter Jones is now on the mound..."

He changed his swing this offseason... That, and the new minor leagues instructional team... Let's see if he's able to recover any prospect status this year as he's lost quite a lot of that so far in his career...

He gave enough info one time that we figured it out. It was a modified OPS that he was trying. I knew it and called him out on it because... well, I was doing the same thing... modifying OPS when I was playing around with some numbers/ formulas. I don't think he lasted much longer after that... although it was something else non-related that did him in but I don't remember those details... Others in here have seen him pop up in various forums other than Motown.. with basically the same schtick... that he's a genius and no one appreciates him but that he's a millionaire in the making because... he's such a genius. His OE% wasn't all that.

Anyone on board with expropriating all of Russia's foreign frozen assets (more than half of that $600 Billion in Russian owned foreign currency... plus, what else...?) and remanding all of that over to Ukraine as war reparations? Not as a negotiating tool with Russia. But a simple handover of ownership to a war crimed victim of Putin's genocidal war.

So please point the Ukrainians towards the MIG store. I think there are two, one in Poland and one in Romania. As fast as possible.

All true. Every single word...

That might be Grossman... at the trade deadline...

Yuan. In other words, about $48,000. (That's a joke... I mean, the 2nd sentence...).

That looks nasty!!!
