  1. Nominating conventions are boring. Can you imagine one where they actually nominate the candidate? I don't think it would hurt, I think it would help, actually. The new energy a Harris, Whitmer, Newsom or Shapiro would bring would be fantastic, it would be an absolute plus. Who would Harris' or Whitmer's Running Mate be? It would have to be someone with some Center or even Military credentials. I would imagine it would have to be a Governor or former Senator. Andy Beshear would be the best fit as a Democrat who is popular in a red state (Kentucky would still vote for Trump, however). I don't think Beshear really even wants that right now. Maybe Roy Cooper. Taylor Swift will be 35 in December. With this celebrity-obsessed culture, that would do it for sure.
  2. Outgoing Prime Minister of England "I've heard your anger, your disappointment and I take responsibility for this loss". Wow, that's refreshing. The new guy is an indie music fan too. I like him already. Seems like a very pragmatic guy, kind of like what we have in Biden, but 25 years younger. That's the thing about Biden, it's only about his age. He's been a steady, quiet, focused, get-to-work President. He was exactly what we needed after that bloated buffoon carnival barker from the Circus of Hate. And we're gonna turn right back around and put that ****er in charge - and oh ****, the damage he's gonna do.
  3. I just don't know why every time Kendrick Lamar and Drake fart in each other's direction it has to be breaking news on every ****ing music site. Who ****ing cares? Ooooh, two guys don't like each other. That isn't interesting.
  4. Hey guys. I get this feeling, and I don't know where it comes from, that signing Kenta to 2 years was a big mistake. Gut feeling.
  5. Danielson will make the team when he's good and ready........about 2029.
  6. Tiger fans the last decade
  7. Everything has gone epically wrong. This is absolutely horrible. Are they going to trade Skubal? I know Flaherty's gone. This current guy gave us Canha and Maeda and gave us the "Craig Paquette is a valuable player" schtick like Randy Smith. These guys are mincemeat. I thought Canha might be a leader, of sorts, with his OBP over the last 4 years, but even though thats 100 points higher than is BA, .335 is nothing to get excited about. What a bunch of garbage this whole organization is. Couldn't see that Parker Meadows wasn't ready - and then put him at leadoff. Making Torkelson worse by loading his brain with more gobbledygook, watching Riley Greene wither and die at 23 because he has nothing around him, not having a viable option at SS in case Javy played like Javy again (another player they're probably making worse with useless info), signing Colt Keith to an expensive contract before he ever played a game. It's just so awful. Nothing has changed since Avila. This slog is going to continue at least 2-3 more years after this. Absolute brutality. Sell the ****ing team. It's all that's left that you can do. Why did Harris leave his contending home-town team, was he about to get bounced? Oh, and clinging to a TERRIBLE color commentator to offset the great play-by-play hire. His (alleged) past caught up to him. Too late for me. I let my Bally's app lapse because I refuse to pay to watch this. This is like paying a dentist to inflict pain on you without improving your smile. I have no smile, however, I am a Tigers fan and it's Summer and for the 10th straight year I have no reason to smile.
  8. this lost season might be the best time to convert A.J. Hinch to being unemployed.
  9. its because they others don't yet have the name recognition. That's it. A month of getting to know all of them and they'd all do better, but please, Michelle..........save your country.
  10. 125,492,149 adults between the ages of 35-74 and this is the best we can do.
  11. If Biden wins, Whitmer will be the favourite in 2028. If Trump wins, she won't be because all the'll need to do is flip about 4 or 5 state legislatures and they are re-writing the constitution, and there ain't gonna be a 2028 election.
  12. Damn, I thought the Pistons were a LOCK on Paul George.
  13. July 4, 1776 - July 1, 2024
  14. 12.6 percent is better than 9.7 percent, dammit ! Where's your analytical mind?
  15. They're taking. Shelby was told there's a good contract in it if he tries. They want that #2 or #3 pick, man !
  16. Democrats are so stupid at campaigning. They should win by bigger margins but all this bitching about Biden's debate performance is only bringing MORE attention to it. Shut up and get behind your guy and if he winds up not being your guy, then embrace who's next. Stop with all the doubting and get to ****ing work, you own the issues.........The Republicans only believe in hate, they have no platform except to blame blame blame............you can't beat that? You're pathetic.
  17. I saw it was 7-1 and I went and lived my life and this morning I see that they almost blew it? Wow, even when they win they suck.
  18. Well, Tim, if it is you, did you check to make sure VP is a "black" job? Plus, the last guy actually did his job and followed the actual Constitution and was nearly killed over it, while yer boy stood and watched and did nothing. Sure you want the gig?
  19. Spencer Torkelson has 29 Ks in 88 ABs AT TRIPLE A !!!!!!! They done broke him. I think they feed him so much information that his head is a mess and he's up there thinking too much. If he could just clear his head and go back to what he used to be he'd be alright. They will call him up this year, at some point, and he will be in the 2025 plans, but things aren't looking too good beyond that. Eric Munson Jr.
  20. Wow, this collapse is becoming an epic one. So, will they take another high school kid with the #3 draft pick in 2025? Boy, that Hinch sure is a great strategist. And he seems to be getting these guys to improve too. Good thing we latched on to him for, what, 3 more years? And Scotty..........couldn't find a SS better than Kreidler or McKinstry, eh? None exist anywhere, huh?
  21. Got a post on Facebook that it's Trump that shares Catholic Values, not that fake Catholic Biden. You mean cheating on every wife? Two divorces? (and a third one coming one day) Banging a stripper and paying her off? Or do you mean Catholic Values as in being around people that you know are molesting children and doing nothing about it? Yep, I guess he does share those values.
  22. Here's one thing about Biden. He's been counted out so many times in his career and he always seems to come back. Don't count that aspect out. My impression is that yes, he was under the weather, he sounded like it. Damn microphones don't miss anything. But I also think his handlers, the ones who prepped him for the debate stressed to him "don't get mad", "stay calm" "don't get in a brawl" "be the adult", but I think Biden is a bit of a sneaky brawler and I think really pushing himself to hold back may have rattled him. Let Dark Brandon out. That's what people want to see. Whomever handled his strategy for this debate needs to be shown the door. No matter what, Joe, as in the muck as you can possibly get, you will never be as slimy as Trump. That's impossible. Obama's first debate against Romney was a flop. Same reason. He was far too passive, even for such a vanilla guy like Obama. He got a little testy (by Obama standards) in the later debates and was the clear winner in those. Getting riled up is human. Don't be robotic. Just don't count Joe out. His whole career is full of comebacks.
  23. The people who designed the construction on Southfield near 94 need to be found, lined up against the wall and shot. JUST CLOSE THE WHOLE ****ING FREEWAY ! Remember what they did on 96 about 15 years ago? Closed it from Telegraph to Newburg............tore it out, rebuilt it from scratch, had the actual makeshift concrete plants ON SITE and got it done a month early and it's still in fantastic shape. What they are doing on Southfield is a crime. It's so poorly planned and they won't even fix it right, they'll be back out there in 3 years.
  24. This team's MVP would obviously be voted as Skubal, but I would argue that it's actually Kerry Carpenter. 20-20 in games he starts (I think) 17-24 when he didn't start They were 26-27 until he got injured and they are 11-17 since then. 32-44 since the 5-0 start (3 of those games against the awful White Sox). This is Hinch's 4th year. He and his staff are not making guys better. With Skubal, Olson and Flaherty pitching like this, it's completely unacceptable.
  25. Al Michaels allowing an A.I version of his voice to do Olympic recaps. WRONG MOVE AL. If you can't cut it yourself anymore, just walk away, retire. If you don't have that kind of energy let an up and comer do it. Opening a door here that is going to cost a lot of people their jobs and I don't want to hear the whole "this is going to happen anyway", well maybe so, but the people who already had their careers and are riding off into the sunset shouldn't be the one stabbing the next generations in the back. Losing all respect for Al over this. This will start something terrible. The Uncanny Valley. It's like using Audrey Hepburn's computer re-generated likeness for a chocolate ad 20 years after her death. Not only is it morally wrong, but it's creepy.
