A lot of people thought Biden looked really good at his State Of The Union and it hurt the Repugnantcans argument of "too old". Muting the mics when it's not their turn is a huge advantage for Biden. Trump's strategy last time was to talk over him and shout over him to rattle him. It really didn't work. And I bet he runs his mouth the whole time his mic is off tonight too. We won't hear it too well on t.v. but Biden will hear it there. Just don't get into the insult game too much. Stick to the track record and not name calling. Be the adult.

I remember the moment I really started doubting A.J. Hinch was last season when Andy Ibanez hit 2 HR in a game and then the genius yanked him for a pinch hitter. That really pissed me off. Put the computer down and watch the game, Andy's in a groove tonight, let him be.

My Nightmare Future post from August 1, 2024 Seattle's 9th and 15th ranked prospects is all we got for Skubal? And one of those guys is injury prone and the other is a strikeout-prone left-handed hitting outfielder. Wow, Al Avila could have done that. I just have flashbacks of Jose King/Sergio Alcantara/Dawel Lugo to this day. Losing faith in Harris every day. I know I need patience and that it takes a new exec at least 3 years to start showing, but nothing so far is indicated that much has really changed. I mean, couldn't find a viable backup shortstop? A real shortstop, you know, in case Javy got hurt. No one? Anywhere? A cast-off? A veteran looking for one more shot? Nope. I've already lost faith in Hinch. I just don't buy it with him. Why does it matter if McKinstry is left handed if he doesn't hit at all? What is this love affair with this guy? He's not even that great defensively. Too much Smartest Guy in the Room stuff with him. Ever work for a micro-manager? Not a lot of fun, is it?

Biden's all jacked up on Crestor.

No, need to scare the ever-loving **** out of voters to make sure they don't think "we got this", like in 2016. I don't think they will, but lets not even put that in their heads. It's far too close. Biden is doing a really good job and it's only about cult of personality. If Biden was 15-20 years younger, they couldn't throw that Sleepy Joe **** at him. He'd have a much bigger lead. I get it, he's old, but only 3 years older than Trump and you tell me who is more focused and clear. Ain't even close. Trump has dementia. Joe has foot-in-mouth.......he's had that his whole career. Trump pops Adderall like M&Ms, but will scream Biden is juiced. But after this year, no more tired old men, man.

YOU SEE THAT, HE'S ON LIPITOR...............I KNEW IT............LIP-IT-TOR !

But he bats left handed and can play 33 positions and even pitch ! He bats lefty He's a left-handed hitter That's good right?

Dave Dombrowski was fired by Mike Illitch for trading David Price and trying to start a rebuild The Tigers have bein in rebuild mode ever since and will be for at least 2-3 more years. Isn't it ironic?

Freaking Prize Pigs. Look for any excuse to get more free stuff. They're like mosquitos.........always around, annoying and blood-sucking. Win great concert tickets with $85 a piece and then complain about it.

I have been told that the grass seed I planted (which has brought my lawn back from the dead and made my lawn one of the top 5 on the street) is not MONSANTO grass seed and I will have to pull that grass out. I am subject to a $3000 fine if I don't comply within 30 days. Then in order to replant, I will have to use their grass seed, and only the blend they approve, which is $200 a bag. (this actually didn't happen to me, but **** like this happens to American farmers and both parties are fine with it).

That first pitch to Gio there was not even close to being a strike. Does the ump have to go to the bathroom?

He hit a homer. Blind Squirrel today. Good for him. Happy for him. No, take him back and bring me those melted cheese sandwich appetizers you talked me out of ! A - Put a blanket around Reese Olson and get him some fluids. He must be in shock that his team scored 5 runs in a game he started. B - That White Sox pitcher really sucks.

Akil Baddoo, FFS.

My driveway is wet. This game isn't being played. Thank goodness..........

30-41 since the 5-0 start. Wow, that's pathetic. Only the Angels, A's and White Sox are worse in the AL this year. Only the Rockies and Marlins (who shut us out at home twice) are worse in the NL. A.J. Hinch should not have his job anymore. Spare me the whole "but he doesn't have the players". I see players regressing under his leadership. He tinkers too much and seems to be latched on to some players that have no business being here. They don't seem to be too fired up playing for this guy either. Watching several teams go from good, to awful and rebound again in the the time that this team spins it's wheels in the muck is infuriating. Still can't be too harsh on Scott Harris.....yet, but this offseason means a lot and I think we will be every bit as underwhelmed as last year's. With his team in need of immediate help he drafted a high school kid with his first #1 pick, which means he doesn't believe they are anywhere close to contending. I don't care. Try, dammit. Try to show this fan base SOMETHING. Harris & Co knew they had one of the worst starting players in Javy Baez and that they had no other REAL shortstop that was even close to being MLB ready, other than Ryan Kreidler, who is hurt all the time and, well, sucks. They made no contingency plan in case Baez either got hurt or played horribly this year. Wouldn't you know, both happened. This just ****ing sucks, man. The Royals have leapt ahead of us now and the Guardians are having a great season without their ace. I understand that most teams would have taken Mize and Tork at #1 overall, but what the hell does our organization do to these guys? Hinch & Co have Torkelson's brain twisted into knots. He too full of data to just play ball. I think they're doing that to a bunch of players, actually. And let's face facts, as much as we love Riley Greene, he's really only a slightly above average MLB player. If he had a better lineup around him, he might be good, but he has to carry this team and he doesn't have the experience or the chops to do it. This team could have done better than Mark Canha this offseason. We only signed Flaherty to trade him in a month, and even with his All Start caliber-season, we'll end up getting someone's 10th or 12th best prospect, who probably can't play shortstop, just like anyone else close to this major league roster. This was the week I stopped watching. Pre All Star Game. If they aren't going to make any effort, why should I?

And what the hell does this team owe McKinstry and Wentz anyway? Get rid of these guys. They're just giving up and as much as it's about Eval this year, that is setting the wrong tone for these young players.

I don't expect us to go undefeated vs. the White Sux, but if we lose another game like the last, what, 4 games, offensively, shouldn't it be someone's ass? Hitting coach, something? Again, my plea, all season, has been go find a shortstop that can just come in an play for a short time and be decent (meaning hit .220 and don't be a butcher in the field). I heard some folks here say "They've got Kreidler" and I recoiled at that because he couldn't stay healthy, but he is awful. Just awful. They can't try to find a cast off who is better than McKinstry/Kreidler? I know, I know, evaluation year, but come on already.

2 for 23. Can't hit a AAA fastball and AAA is a garbage dump for pitchers. Dude is done.

Both teams are following the script. sports is fixed.

8-1 voting that domestic abusers shouldn't have guns. I don't even have to look up who the 1 is. He has no business on the bench. He just does everything for political reasons and he hates black people too. Keep scrubbin' Clarence, it don't come off.

Yep. And all U.S. Military jobs.........Buh-Bye !

I thought they were only going to wear The Horror for 3 or 4 games. Is this going to be every weekend now? I want my perfect Tiger home kits back !

Sutherland won an Emmy for Citizen X. I can get past the accent issues. I loved this movie. I like how in Chernoby and The Death Of Stalin, they just let the actors speak in their natural accents and didn't worry about trying to sound Russian.

But you have to because luck is going to run out at some point and Jared Goff will miss a game or two (hopefully no more). We have no idea how good Hendon is. It's about game management and not raw talent, so I think his ability to read defenses and his timing are more important than anything. I think Hooker is the backup but it never hurts to have another possible option incase of an injury or he just looks overmatched. We'll get a little bit of an idea in preseason how he is with timing. They took him for a reason. I trust in Brad.

This scene, this right here. I put it up there with the brilliance of conveying emotion without having to raise a voice or get animated. It's so subtle, but powerful. Right up there with Paul Newman's summation scene in The Verdict. Great actors who use their face and voice so perfectly.
