  1. She also said she was going to pardon Trump, so screw her. She might be less crazy but she is still enabling the crazy. When she drops out of the race in a few weeks, she'll throw all her support his way.
  2. It was sarcasm
  3. but but but, what about the Clinton death count?
  4. I was going to do that until I saw what a difficult time she had addressing racism. That's a non-starter for me. My current plan is to vote for Phillips over Biden. Biden's favorability rating is awful and I think the Democrats are making a big mistake letting him go pretty much unopposed.
  5. He would still be President if there were not term limits.
  6. I was speaking in general, pobably should have responded to Edman rather than you.
  7. Every case is different and I don't care at all whether Mize makes 700k or a million. I just don't know that I'd see it as a positive thing if the GM of my favorite team developed a philosophy of consistently playing hardball with his own players.
  8. I do not care about Kimmel or Kelly at all and do not know the details of their cases, so my post is not about them specifically. I do think it's ridiculous how people excuse their own party's trangressions a lot more easily. However, I think sometimes your comparisons get stretched too much. If somebody apologizes for something that they did once and do not continue a pattern of bad behavior, that is a lot different from someone who does something very offensive, won't apologize it and continues to do offnsive things throughout their lives. An example of the former would Be Obama's "special olympics" comment. It was really disappointing and inexcusable when he said that. He then apologized and never said anything remotely like that again. It is still a bad mark on him because no President should say anything like that, but it's something that can now be mostly excused. Then you have Trump who says or does offensive stuff like that pretty much every day of his life, never apologizes and usually never admits to it and continues to show that his bad behavior is exactly who is. Yet, his followers still look up to him like a god. Just to give an example on the left, I present Bill Clinton, who (although not quite in Trump's class) was and still is an unapologetic pig.
  9. OK, but I think the Tigers current administration has not been around long enough to have established a pattern. Personally, I liked Dombrowski's philosophy of not once going to arbitration as a Tigers GM. I like a GM that is tough with opponents rather than his own players.
  10. Is "file and trial" even a thing? Can't they make a deal any time both teams agree? File and trial is being talked about like a legal decision in here.
  11. Any time something that they don't like happens, they say it's God's will. If everything is God's will, what is the point of even trying in life?
  12. Like Tyler Holton. I thinks it's probably a scouting thing more than numbers though.
  13. He had a strong year at Toledo. As Echoes said, he may end up there again.
  14. Devin for Nevin. May Sweet be this year's Holton
  15. Is this something you know to be true? Or are you just translating what Doyle is reporting?
  16. Yes, He deserves no credit for something that might happen a year from now. He's a smart guy and I think he will be a good GM/president/director/whatever, but right now he gets an incomplete grade and there are still a lot of Avila acquisitions making good strides lately.
  17. He would "act" in disbelief. Trump has no intellect, but he knows how to get people riled up.
  18. Didn't he make Ben Carson Secretary of Housing and Urban Development because he needed a Black for the urban job? I think I stole that from oblong.
  19. What if you have a bone spur?
  20. He would be blocked by Maton.
  21. He was also one of the first players to make a presence on social media which the Tigers might not have liked.
  22. They could point to his lack of strikeouts prior to his injury.
  23. Arbitration is part of the business of MLB, but the very nature of the process has the potential upset a player peronally and thus it's something that both players and management try to avoid. Dombrowski and Avila, for example, made a point of it. Most players likely get over it quickly, but I don't think the notion that some player might get upset by it should be brushed aside so quickly.
