  1. As far as Detroit's bad image. That will never change with some people and let's not be too fooled here. As cool as it is to see a vibrant downtown again, a real city that I never experienced here in my life, the city is still pretty horrible outside of that. People ARE trying, no doubt, but I don't think the city will ever shake the image that you see at the beginning of Beverly Hills Cop. That'll ALWAYS be what Detroit is to some. Some hotshot millionaire ballplayer doesn't want to stoop to live in a high-end hotel for four months, then I say fine, we don't need ya anyway, we'll be just peachy. The athletes that do come here and give us a try and even have just a little success..........they seem to fall in love with the place, don't they? Hey, we're serious sports fans here. It's what got us through a lot of tough times. We know our ****e here and our media won't crap on you like New York or Philly.
  2. No Baklava. People can't afford diabetes medicine anymore.
  3. What if Chris Illitch decided that he wanted his own stadium and decided to move the team to Nashville? Would baseball allow it? Would baseball allow the White Sox to move? They almost did in the past, but I can't see MLB allowing a legacy team like that to leave now. I know they are whining about a downtown stadium and how the Bears get more love. Maybe losing less than 121 games might help.
  4. He was trying to show Jeremy Bonderman how to do it.
  5. I hate the idea of trading Spencer Torkelson to the Twins. If he finds himself, just not in our own division, please.
  6. And it had an INSTANT impact, didn't it?
  7. I think you meant Anthony Lynn
  8. Commuting is not the same as Pardoning. Pardoning clears the books. Kwame never did a thing wrong ever.
  9. That she won't get because too many Americans can't handle the thought of a woman being in command of the military. A felon? No problem. Democrats have to nominate a man. Sorry, I wish it wasn't that way. I wish we weren't so ****ing backwards around here. I think Gretch would be amazing, but it's got to be Andy Beshear or Wes Moore, unless some scandal breaks , but the fact that we have a convicted felon in there now means scandals might not make any difference, Bill Clinton was a walking scandal. This Michigan Senate thing. It's Mallory McMorrow's time to shine. She's a potential rock star and she shouldn't soften her language or beliefs one iota. Wanna bet the Trump pardons Kwame for all his crimes and Kwame tries to run as the Republican?
  10. I won't type the next line but William Hurt said it at the end of A History Of Violence when Joey asks "What can I do?".
  11. Hey, Now Bobby ****head Kennedy can say - See, I promised I'd end Obesity in this country and this is how we'll do it. No more benefits, no more Meals on Wheels, no more School Meals (those ****ing freeloading grade schoolers) and for the rest of us, a pint of strawberries for $12 or $5 an orange. Hey look. Elon and Bezos have a new line of food you can eat. Sign a pledge and you can get their food for cheap !
  12. "Let them eat cake" Well, say that about and to enough people and we may end up with a similar ending. You think this is a great issue for the Democrats to run on. And it is, but I don't think we're going to to get to vote anymore. Is that an extreme thought? I put nothing past these bastards. And you know what strategy I can easily see them implementing. Hey, states with Republican Governors, you can have benefits, but states with Democratic Governors, you will be cut off until you elect a Republican. They'll just blatantly say it. And it might work. Get 2/3rds of the states and BAM - New Constitution. No more 18-21 year olds voting (maybe 18-25 year olds). No more term limits on a President. No more elections, but rather appointments. Screw you DJ, Don Jr. is new King.
  13. Yet so many of them rely on money from the government.
  14. The Rats live at American, but they prefer to eat at Lafayette. If rat poop is in my coney chili, I'm fine with it because 60 years later no coney dog from Lafayette ever has made me sick and it's delicious.
  15. I have no sympathy for the driver. Either they were texting or they just decided to ignore the warning. They'll probably sue the railroad and win.
  16. He got their votes. He can't run again (well, not as of now), so he doesn't need them anymore. So **** 'em.
  17. Oh, and he's gonna pardon Diddy, too.
  18. We'll be in a Great Depression within 9 months.
  19. Well, not to worry, the neighbors will smell it in a week. They were freeloaders anyway, right?
  20. **** 'em. It's what they wanted. They can choke on it. Well, I guess they can't because there will be nothing to choke on. I don't care about them. The red state ones anyway. Bunch of bigots.
  21. Any cuts to subsidies for oil companies or health "insurance" companies?
  22. Part of me is really upset at punishing the powerless but part of me is laughing at the poor saps that voted for him getting totally screwed over. Don't cry to me about it.
  23. Won't matter. Because here's what happens. About two weeks before the midterms they end Social Security and Medicare. They just end it. Riots in the streets. Martial Law enacted, Elections suspended indefinitely. Book it.
  24. It seems like Bregman could be like Rogie Vachon was for the Wings. Remember all the hype about him coming here? He was terrible. I think about the stadium he played most of his games in and then the lineup that surrounded him and he was part of a well-run machine, but does that mean he is suited to be the leader we'd expect him to be here? That 50 point drop in OBP last year is a big red flag to me. Those 25/26 HRs in Houston might translate to 18/19 in Detroit. I don't think that's worth 28 to 30 million a year.
