but it really didn't rain all day. rained yesterday, but not that hard.

Does anyone get in trouble if they call a rain out and it never rains? Because it sure didn't look like, even if it did rain, that it was going to be a several-hour situation.

It's over. He might as well retire........

Has it rained at all in Detroit?

I just looked up the Lakeland game to see how Riley is doing. When I saw Tarpons, that's not what I thought I saw at first............strange name.

Do you think Crash Davis turned the sprinklers on overnight last night?

I thought they were going to have a double header tomorrow, but the make up is a split doubleheader on July 4th. So yes, this does help the Tigers, every day of rest helps that thin starting staff. Any word on Pineda? I am guessing he'll heal up fairly quickly. I am guessing Eduardo will be back by June 10th maybe. I don't think trying to give Elvin or Wentz another start would be constructive. We basically have a 4-man rotation now? Or is it 3-man at this point? Yikes.

i blame you

when is the make-up game?

I am 11 miles (as the crow flies) from Comerica and it has barely rained here and looking at the radar loop it has barely rained over there. To me whomever made this call blew it. With the oddity of this year's schedule already, there isn't an excuse for this. Now, it might start pouring rain at 9pm, but I doubt it.

I don't understand the ppd tonight.

Have they found out yet which "well-regulated militia" this guy was part of?

The AMC/TBS/Whatever version shows him hit the guy twice with the gun..........but he hits him something like 11 times doesn't he? I think I read somewhere that Ray accidentally him him for real a couple times too, but with the palm of his hand, thank goodness.

There is a really good Ray Liotta movie that was shot in Detroit in 2001 called "Narc". It was a lower budget indie, so it didn't play in big megaplex theaters, so it wasn't successful, but it got good reviews and I'm not saying the movie is anywhere near GoodFellas, but I think Liotta's acting was better in Narc. If you like gritty movies where the good guy/bad guy narrative is blurry, you'll love this movie. It's really good.

When I looked at the Gameday on Yahoo Sports I saw K. Pilkington and thought of.............

Arm fell off............growing a new one in a lab, he'll be 100% ready in 2025.

But even that's not enough...............The Sandy Hook shooter was a deeply disturbed person, one that everyone knew was deeply disturbed, but mom bought him assault weapons and took him shooting. She paid with her life. Kip Kinkel, one of the first of this 25 year wave of shootings in Oregon had a ton of emotional problems. He was seeing a therapist who told Kip's father to make sure no weapons were around him, so what does dad do? He buys him a gun. The same gun he was killed with. He did it to stop his son from complaining about it. It's right there in front of people and they don't do anything. I don't understand it. It's so sick.

Kids have walked out at Oxford High School as a protest. Maybe every school kid should walk out until something, ANYTHING is done.

Wait, I just saw the post that they have a SWAT unit? THEN WHERE WERE THEY? Oh my god, you talk about failing. Yeah, lets hear more of that macho Texas bullshit.

Yes, but being a rural school/town, it might have taken SWAT quite some time to get there.

Dude, I'm a Lions fan, what else could I ever believe?

Part of it might be the fact that a typical patrol cop, first responder doesn't have head-to-toe body armor or shielding to get close. So I partly understand that. But it is a job where every single day when you punch in - you know could be your last. It sucks, but that's part of the deal.

I thought the same thing myself. A lot of tough talk, but.................kind of like tough guy patriot Ted Nugent (who unironically lives in Texas now) who intentionally shit his pants to keep from being drafted. I get the reason why, the war was bullshit (not the troops, the war itself), but you can't do that and then talk like a patriotic tough guy.
