Because the military never makes a mistake.

The number of people with diabetes has doubled (surprisingly he got that right), but that is a little misleading. Some of it is because we are now better able to diagnose and treat diabetes and also because because people are living longer in general. It is a big problem though which brings us to your point about his funding cuts for diabetes research.

Galarraga is short sighted. The current administration is awful.

Can you prove that they were all drug smugglers, adults and willing participants? It's not about one incident though. It's the principle. We have a convicted felon in the oval office because there are too many scared bigoted people in this country who believe everything he tells them. The fact is undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit violent crimes than native born Americans. Yes, we need to arrest and punish violators, but I don't want us diverting resources from more pressing matters.

Whether or not someone gets the death penalty also requires due process. The only way this incident can be justified is if they knew for certain that this group was an immediate threat to lives of Americans. Possession of drugs or trying to get people into the country illegally is not justification for this.

I don't defend criminals. I want due process for all. I also don't want my tax dollars wasted on a Trump tough guy show which is what most of this is about.

Flaherty is not likely to get 20 million but he got 14 million from the Tigers in 2024 and he is probably worth a little more now than he was then. He might be able to get a worthwhile two-year deal somewhere. I agree that he probably won't opt out though unless he surges down the stretch and in the playoffs.

Only if they are brown and/or poor.

I also don't care for Scales for the same reasons. His commentary is fine but I find his voice to be a distraction.

I think the hoax theory isn't going to work for him since his supporters and those around him are the ones who pushed the story the hardest. Connecting the dots, I think there is a good chance he was involved in some horrible things. At the very least, I think he knew what was happening and is covering it up. I also think we'll never know what happened. Wealthy powerful people pretty much always get away with everything. Even if the women revealed names, they'd be called liars and maybe intimidated or bribed into changing their stories. Keeping the story in the news and hurting Trump politically and legacy-wise is probably the maximun we could hope for.

I believe Meadows in centerfield and Baez playing more shortstop would help the pitching staff.

Right, that is the only good part. But how long will it last? The talk died for a few weeks until today.

Oh know, Tigeraholic had the same exact thought. 😲

As expected.

He makes everyone on the team a better player.

Skubal has the big strikeout total and the low ERA and all the fancy advanced stats, but Mize has something he doesn't. He just knows how to win AND THAT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN'T TEACH.

The great thing about that is that they were all complete game shutouts.

I agree. If you want to honor a player who has retired, just have a day for him. The Tigers signed Al Cicotte to a six-day contract in 1977 long after he retired, so he could qualify for a pension. He was in poor health and was having financial problems. In that case, it was a nice gesture.

It's just one day though. He could pick both!

What if both teams give him a one-day contract?

I don't know what Christie's job was, but I'll never forget the hostage video:

They made it through one round last year and could have made it two rounds if Skubal was sharp in game five versus the Indians. The playoffs are getting to be more like bullpen games every year. The bigger problem might be their bullpen which was better last year.

How is a one day contract going to mollify fans?

Yes, you are right. I read the article too quickly. He does seem to hire masculine looking tough guy types who will make him look good and appeal to his base. He has also been surrounded by Chris Christie, Elon Musk and Stephen Miller.
