    I remember when Octavio Dotel called him out on his leadership. Even during the good ole days, I just assumed people like Verlander were the real leaders of the team.

    Mike was a bigger slumlord than Chris. Mike promised a whole mess of development around Comerica. He owned all the vacant buildings behind the Fox that he left to deteriorate to the point where the only option was to tear them down. He even tore down the Madison-Lennox hotel to make room for a parking lot before the Super Bowl despite people wanting to develop it. Mike gets a free pass because he saved the Fox and spent on the teams. Don't forget, Mike had owned the Tigers for 10 years when they lost 119 games in 2003 and had losing seasons in 12 of 13 seasons prior to 2006. I could certainly do without the whole Illitch clan.

    Really? Being a deadbeat dad is overall low for the party that once claimed to be the party of morals and family values? I wonder how much child support walker owes....

    The Twitter post said he hasn't acknowledged his son which is true. Now that is has come to light, he has acknowledged it. The real issue is that Walker has not been involved in the child's life while he simultaneously preaches about absentee fathers.

    This started off about Herschel Walker having a son he didn't acknowledge and became what about Joe Biden who didn't put out a stocking for a grandchild he may or may not have. You seriously going to go there?

    Are these the same tabloids that said Ted Cruz's father assassinated Kennedy?

    I'm afraid to ask, but what the hell are you talking about?

    Someone has to fill me in on the Grassley thing. Is it really suggesting that Pence was going to get whacked? Is that why Pence refused to go with Secret Service? I keep envisioning the scene from Goodfellas where Karen meets Jimmy and he wants to go in the sketchy building to get a new dress.

    They list him as a TE which is interesting.

    Refreshing myself on the bullpen, only Phil Coke had a better flyball percentage than Benoit that year (of course if you exclude Porcello). Benoit had never given up a HR to Ortiz, and was the Tigers best reliever. It was a fine matchup, however, I would have went with Phil Coke. His only role in life was to pitch to David Ortiz. Anyways, Veras threw 3 pitches and gave up a 2B. He had been pretty bad with the Tigers up until that point. They weren't really backed into a corner. You are asking your best reliever and closer to get you a 4 out save. Benoit was pitching the 9th no matter what. He literally just needed to not give up a HR. I will take the last word. Nice chatting with you.

    The terrible matchup was their best reliever with a four run lead who up until that point never gave up a HR to Ortiz . Benoit had the same groundball rate as Smyly did that year all though Benoit was a little more susceptible to the HR than Smyly but his HR/FB ratio was still pretty decent that year.
  14. Motown Bombers
    He was not horrible that year and was pretty good that year. I suppose you could make the case Smyly was a better reliever that year but Benoit was without a doubt the best reliever available unless you favored the matchup of Coke vs Ortiz. Either way, it's not much of an ask for arguably your best reliever to not give up a homerun.
  15. Motown Bombers
    Literally every reliever brought into the game gave up a baserunner. What reliever, who couldn't get outs, should Leyland have stuck with? I guess you could make the case for Smyly since he only walked the only batter he faced. I suppose you could have made the case for sticking with Scherzer until he blew out his arm or finished the game.
  16. Motown Bombers
    I would have went with Phil Coke. The only reason Coke was on the playoff roster was to pitch to Ortiz. Coke had dominated Ortiz up until that point. The worst possible outcome, which did happen, would be a tie game. You then go to Benoit no matter what happened with Ortiz. Still, every reliever brought in gave up base runners and your closer and best reliever should be able to preserve a 4 run lead.
  17. Motown Bombers
    Yeah it was probably a bad idea to bring in your best reliever against their best hitter with 2 outs in the 8th up 4.

    It wasn't that long ago that interest rates were at 6%. The SCRA, which was passed in the mid 2000's under the Bush administration, capped interest rates at 6%.

    I was taken a back by how different she looked. She actually cheekbones back then.

    I think that Trump defense fund is also paying for Kimberly Guilfoyle's plastic surgery.

    Working in a bank, a lot of people in the origination side have been laid off. I think most of them understood it was going to be temporary.

    I remember hearing about the story of Peter Popoff who is a Christian faith healer. He was even exposed as being a complete fraud and he just regrouped and continues his scams. I couldn't help but see he and Trump are one in the same.

    I just want to be clear my vitriol is for all of organized religion not just Christianity and with the exception of the Chruch of the Fonz.
