  1. LOL, way to tell that lefty EWSIEG why he thinks the way he does.
  2. It's not obvious to me because there have been numerous cases where they have detained or deported people who should not have been detained or deported. I would hope that the majority of violent arrests involved dangerous criminals, but mistakes have been made. The fact that that one of the officers was politicizing the arrest as it was happening makes me think he was not professional enough for the job.
  3. When you are beating people up, masks are OK as long as they look macho. If you are trying to protect people, masks are unmanly.
  4. I am upset about the comments from the officer more than anything. Our justice system can't work with that kind of bias. I also don't like how ICE has conducted themselves in general, but this video is no worse than others I have seen.
  5. That sounds like a stadium I won't be visiting.
  6. What pissed me off was when he said: "liberals already ruined the country". I am aware that law enforcement tends to be heavily biased in favor of the right, but they can't be expressing that as they do their jobs. That entire arrest should be voided due to bias. Of course, in today's world, he wil commended instead of reprimanded.
  7. The simple answer: House plants are for p******. Makes him look weak.
  8. But it's only a tiny subset which is drafted and they presumably have the talent. It may be easier to identify talent than to get the most out of it. I'm not really sure.
  9. Just like every other 19th pick by any GM. However, I think a retro list like that would be not be about evaluating GMS, but just looking at the result. Certainly, getting Carpenter in 19th round has yielded sn unusually good result
  10. Thank you! Don't know why I missed it before. I guess my eyesight is going along with everything else!
  11. I can't find the length of game in any of the box scores. That used to be a standard part of every box score.
  12. That must have been one of the the longest games since they started using the pitch clock. It seemed that way anyway.
  13. I agree, but don't you also have to draft guys that can be developed? It is my understanding that there is more focus on learning about player personality traits (work ethic, motivation, etc) than there used to be.
  14. He was drafted in '85.
  15. Last inning, he seemed to be saying that he played for the 1984 Tigers. That definitely is something interesting.
  16. And nothing's illegal on player's weekend.
  17. I don't really get the Kerry Bonds nickname. Is it just because his first name ends in rry?
  18. The top 20 list according to perplexity is below. I asked them why Fryman was not on the list and it said he was solid but did not have the same elite status as players on the list. I stopped there. Trammell Whitaker Verlander Morris Parrish Fidrych Smoltz Granderson Porcello Castellanos Avila Maybin Manning Mize Greene Kapler Zumaya Higginson Max Clark Rainer
  19. Why do they even need the rivalry thing? They play every team every year now anyway.
  20. Motownbombers wants to know those phone numbers.
  21. What are the odds that all four of them reach their potential? I think they'll do well if two of them become above average players. I am not being negative here. I think their system is in good hands now and they'll be competitive for several years. I just don't think we can point to any set of future players and say that's when they'll be read to spend. It might be many years before they are 7 1/2 games in first place on August 16 again.
  22. It must suck getting steamrolled by your hero. Must be really humiliating.
  23. I think he is risk averse, but being risk averse does not mean being scared. It's more of a carefully planned strategy where you think a cautious approach will bring more long-term success than taking risks.
  24. I had a tick like that when I was a kid. It must have been right around the time McLain was suspended because I remember my father joking to a doctor that it came from that. I actually didn't know what was going on with McLain at the time. Anyway, the doctor asked if I was a lefty or a southpaw. I started to correct him, but my father stopped me since the doctor was either messing with me or was being stupid. I suspect the former. Wow, it's weird how that all just came back to me. The tick didn't last long.
