  1. Didn't matter what he was in or who he was playing. A pot-smoking college prof, a smart ass Army surgeon, a scientist trying to stop an alien invasion or an evil President overseeing kids killing each other as a game show - Donald Sutherland was a brilliant actor. Most actors are short, so it's harder for tall actors to get parts, but some break through because they are just great actors (James Cromwell comes to mind). And he had a great speaking voice too. But his best part was one of the most subtly brilliant performances in film history - as a heartbroken husband desperately trying to get his wife to acknowledge the death of a son and the pain of another in Ordinary People. He didn't even get an Oscar nomination for it. Probably because he was very political. One of the biggest snubs in Oscar history. A fine Canadian. R.I.P. Donald Sutherland. 88+ years is a good run
  2. Boeing is going to hire this guy as their next lawyer
  3. What's it gonna take to end Boeing? How many dangerous mistakes are going to be allowed? How is this allowed to keep happening?
  4. Maybe he can borrow some money from Tom Gores.
  5. And this with Ray Oyler going 0 for August AND September in 1968. Enough with Kreidler. He had his one good game. He's done. There has to be an available shortstop out there that is better than Kreidler & McKinstry. It's not statisically possible there isn't. You'd be asking someone to be a .215 hitter............that's it. But this is Hinch's guy, right. Gotta stick with his guy. Please explain why Hinch is seemingly so untouchable. I know the groceries aren't great, but he's not even making prison-level chow with them.
  6. I know the Braves vs. the Tigers is like University of Michigan football vs. Purdue, but wow......just wow.
  7. Akil Baddoo is not a major league player. Enough already. Try something else. Try anything else. Just stop with him. This idea that Kreidler could be the SS if we got rid of Baez is laughable. He's not good (and this is his longest healthy stretch in a few years, waiting for the injury any minute now). I don't care if Zack McKinstry hits lefthanded because he can't hit anyway, so why does it matter which side of the plate he stands on. This OBP Machine Malloy needs a repairman. The bottom half of this lineup is bollocks. Can we please try something else............ANYTHING ELSE? PLEASE? The folks that coach hitting on this team. Why are their jobs so safe?
  8. How much do Republicans hate the fact that Juneteenth is a national holiday.
  9. There is a new Whistleblower against Boeing. Gee, hope they don't have an "accident" or commit "suicide".
  10. Oh, what's it matter, we're gonna suck forever.
  11. sounds like someone's voting block, doesn't it? (and the folks that like to separate politics from everything - don't tell me not to bring up politics in this thread, a terrorist group called the NRA is quite responsible for this, along with a system that treats mental health like it's contagious - mental health is usually a physical illness that can be treated if dealt with correctly.......we can fix this ****, but goddammit, it takes actual effort).
  12. Have we found out which Well-Regulated Militia Michael Nash was part of yet?
  13. the spy angle is more fun, though. another reason to hate the Twins.
  14. Do you think Kenta might actually be working as a spy for the Twins?
  15. Being a major international border crossing puts this on a whole different level. When the deck is finally in place, the workers should line up across from each other, we give them coney dogs and they give us poutine and then they shake hands and then all turn to the direction of Matty Moroun's grave and all flip him off. This is such a huge economic plus. Ambassador Bridge will still get plenty of traffic to keep the Morouns rich.
  16. 42 year old white male. Lived at home with his mother. His life probably wasn't where he wanted it to be. Neither was mine when I was 42. That was on me and nobody else.
  17. Okay, it's just the frame, but still............... They say about 10 more days until the complete connection, which lines up with my prediction will be done July 2nd or 3rd, between Canada Day and the 4th of July - you know, because symbolism.
  18. They connected the Gordie Howe bridge in the middle of the night? What the ****? That's a very cool moment, it should have been done with some fanfare.
  19. Didn't know about it until this morning. I guess since the death count was only 1 - the shooter - it's not climbing the charts. Next on this week's countdown, a six year old shoots a teacher in Virginia. This 6 year old will speak at this year's Republican Convention, as this teacher was no doubt trying to indoctrinate this child into believing that littering is bad.
  20. Glad to see the Detroit Police doing a fine job of getting these criminals off our streets.
  21. The ground ball hit by Malloy just reminded me of the Bull Durham quote about a gork, a dying quail. Just one more of those a week and you're playing in the majors.
  22. because with nobody on base he strikes out there?
