Obama easily won twice and he would have won in 2016 if he was allowed to run.

Biden was never popular other than the obligatory blip following his election. He was elected because he wasn't Trump.

I listened as I did my exercises this morning. It sounded like a whole lot of meh to me. The gist is Trump will lose influence only if the economy is failing or if there is a perception that it's failing. They don't think he is dramatically losing popularity at this point.

The anti-intellectuialism coming from this administration could not be more obvious and intentional.

Not that I care about betting odds, but they are still very heavy favorites to win the division.

I don't go on Twitter much now, but I was just there. So many fans want Harris fired which is ridiculous. Lot's of ignorant fans out there. There are times when I'd like to see him be less cautious, but he's got the big picture right. He is doing great things for the organization.

King Donald trying to fix an election is hardly a bombshell report.

Don't worry everybody. The Tigers staff will be fine once Cobb, Lange and Sewald return.

No, Not if they keep playing this way.

The Tigers are reminding me of 2006 when they unexpectedly got off to a great start and built up a great lead as everything went right. Then they faded late in the season and failed to win the title. This year their fade started earlier and not winning the title could mean no playoffs.

How is this not gritty?

Mark Wagner!

Yes, This was what I was trying to get at in the first part of my post. You explained it better.

That is easier said than done for a lot of reasons and would probably result in less accurate data. They would have to get the respondents ( households and businesses) on board. Putting the burden on the survey takers could result in fewer completed surveys and less representative data. You need economists and statisticians to analyze trends, make adjustments, etc. Dating cleaning and validation are not as easy to automate as one would expect as different data issues come up all the time. In summary. They could automate everything to an extent, but it would give you less reliable results. The delays and revisions might give the perception that the results are not reliable, but they actually make the results more reliable.

The Dickerson & Dirks combo is the best.

It's too early to know which injured pitcher or guy coming off a bad year the Tigers will sign to a cheap 1-2 year deal.

Dwight Lowry died in 1997 after a heart attack at age 39.

That's why there are so many of them in baseball now. They never get bad backs.

I agree. He is still just 24, so he should have plenty of time left. but he's probably not a good candidate for one of those 10-year deals as a free agent.

And Tom Veryzer at shortstop!

Somebody needs to be fired, https://www.marketwatch.com/story/biggest-part-of-the-u-s-economy-barely-grows-in-july-ism-finds-due-to-tariff-knock-on-effects-8d732689?mod=home_ln

Yup, late data is generally the reason for revision of numbers in any agency. It can't be avoided. I suppose it could be avoided by ignoring the late surveys and never doing revisions, but would only be done if you are not interested in accuracy.

I can believe that there are antiquated systems in place at BLS. However, that's not the stated reason why she was fired. If the system does need to be modernized, I have have no faith that the current administration will address the situation in a thoughful and honest way. The system will be changed with the only goal bing to produce numbers that make Trump look good.

Yes, I always connect those two players!

I actually don't recall him saying that, but it sounds like something he would say. The funny thing is he is known for certain expressions, but he really didn't use them that often. He kept repeating them at the end because new fans wanted to hear them, but in his prime, he picked his spots.
