Smiling and laughing makes you weak unless you are talking about how great you are or putting someone else down. That is conservative humor in a nutshell.

I don't know which of these rankings are legit, but it seems that the Tigers have more top prospects than they have had since probably the 70s. They won't all be hits, but the great thing is when you have so many top prospects they don't all have to be hits to improve the Tigers substantially.

He started in 74 with the A's. I first heard him do the Red Sox games from 80-82. He was a geat announcer and hilarious. I don't know why they let him go. Then I heard him do Oriole broadcasts after that. I agree Miller and Morgan were a good team. I thought Morgan got unfairly targeted for being an old school analyst. That's the way they all were back then (and a lot of them still are).

yes, that surprised me too. I thought he had to be older.

LOL, I'm not happy with Birdsong either!

I'm listening to Jon Miller broadcasting a San Francisco Giants game right now. He has been broacasting for 50 years now which spans most of my time as a baseball fan. He is 72 years old, still has a good voice and still sharp. The only thing is he is not joking very much, so maybe he is getting a little bored.

It's about time.

I have blocked or unfollowed most political commentators on Twitter, but this guy is one of the best political follows on Twitter. For someone who initially seemed like a total douche, he turned out to be pretty intelligent.

A couple of years ago, I heard about the push for free tampons in school bathrooms. As a male, it was something I had never thought about until reading about it. As soon as I read it, it made perfect sense that it was just as important as free bathroom tissue. And then I heard about men complaining that it was woke.

Should of kept.

Every time there is a managerial opening, every candidate is talked about in glowing terms. The fact is Avila hired two managers over him.

I was just going to ask how long it will take before Trump calls him "four eyes"?

It didn't say he was the first choice. It says he was a strong candidate. He hiired Gardenhire over him and then hired Hinch over him.

I don't really know how they rank guys that haven't played pro ball yet. It seems like guess work. I was suprised to see Briceno ranked as high as he was, although his performance certains warrants attention.

Five Tigers in the Top 100:

He got the hits off two Hall of Famers too!

20 losses? That is terrible. With a better manager, they could be 73-40, easily the best record in baseball.

I think throwing arms are important, although not as important as range. I was curious because fans don't usually talk as much about outfielder arms today. When fans talk about players from the 60s, throwing arm seem to be the thing they talk about first. I don't know whether that was talked about more back then or whether it's just something that is more unforgettable when looking back. Of course, defense in general was more important in past eras when there more balls in play. There was probably more variation between good and bad fielders back then too. Because there is so much hitting today, teams could afford to carry one or two defense only players. There were also no DH's then so there might have been more terrible defenders.

I have noticed that fans who grew up during the 60s are always talking about outfield arms. Is that something that was stressed more during that time than it is today?

I think he may be right too, but I don't think Trump is more able to make that kind of progress than other presidents. I don't think our government function requires flattery of any President, let alone a turd like Trump. I do think we would do better with more cooperation in general.

If the Republicans did nothing but claim that Biden and Obama were the smartest men in the world, we would we have had universal healthcare and and a bigger infrastructure package. If we could all just get along, it would be nirvana.

It's Shelby's dad.

It's not looking nearly as bad I feared last night. If you are in crypto (which I still think is a scam) then it's a really bad day.

no, I did too.

It depends on who it is, but 29 versus 31 could be 4 good years versus 2 good years.
